NBI clearance experience

For everyone’s information, NBI Carriedo has moved to Monumento, Caloocan at the Victory Mall 5th Floor

For new applicant’s: P115

Wet tissue (finger print) P2.00

Travel time: It took me an hour and a half (going home), traffic was bad and the heat isn’t helping, (but that was because I took a jeep, I didn’t want to walk a few more steps going to LRT because it was too hot)  wishes summer would end soon. lol!

There are 6 steps total, prepare for a hideous long line (as expected). If you get a no hit result (meaning you don’t have the same name as others, or a record etc), you can instantly get your clearance paper, but for those like me who got a HIT result, I have to wait 3 days before I could claim for it. Dang it!

I was just wondering though, some were applying for a renewal, but from what I know there are branches like Makati Parksquare who has a renewal kiosk and you can easily get it in a few minutes.

So, I hope this helps to those who are applying for NBI Clearance and Goodluck! Tomorrow off to SSS, BIR, Barangay clearance and medical examination, all located in Makati, WOOT! I won’t be traveling that far thank goodness.

Golden Fortune Seafood Restaurant

A few days ago, mom and I went out for lunch before heading to DOT (Department of Tourism), she brought me to Golden fortune, which is located at Kalaw, Manila, right across DOT only. It was my first time to eat there, like most Chinese restaurants, they have a wide space that can seat more than 20+ people, the typical Chinese restaurants that you can find in Ong Pin, China Town, etc. We we’re hungry already and it was scorching hot and when we got to the place it was brown out, which was funny, they don’t have a generator which is expected of them. Mom was too tired so she wanted to wait there and good thing around 5 minutes or so the electricity was back. Well prices seemed a bit high (not steep), since they have big servings I think it’s pretty reasonable. I ordered, Yang chow fried rice, Fried fish sweet and sour, Lobster ball, Japanese siomai, and ice tea. They serve free appetizers which is really good, some sort of pickled veggies and it’s now my favorite, I’m actually craving for more.

 
                                                                 Free Appetizer


                                                      Fried fish sweet and sour


                                       With Yang chow rice, I think it’s good for 2-3 persons


The Yang chow rice was not a rant or a rave either, it didn’t taste really good compared to North Park and the one at Ong Pin, but there were lot’s of toppings like Shrimp and meat. Okay, to be blunt about it, the rice was matabang. lol! As for the fried fish sweet and sour, it was good, typical sweet and sour fish, best served fresh and hot (of course).

  
                                                         Lobster ball 2pcs.


I was expecting a lot as it sounded really yummy, but not really my type. It has a weird texture, I was expecting a siomai-ish texture but seems like the lobster ball was just wanton wrappers and in between were little bits of lobster pieces.
                                                                           Japanese siomai


Their japanese siomai was not a disappointment, it had a rich pork taste, inside it has a big chunk of chorizo wrapped in nori paper.

There are some Chinese restaurants who offer tea on the house but for this particular restaurant they charge P40 per cup or tea pot of Jasmine tea. I love tea and Jasmine is my new favorite. What we weren’t expecting was  free dessert, I thought it was just a wrong table but the waiter said it was on the house. Free is good! haha.

It’s like a version of mais con yelo but in a jelly type version. When you break it in half, there are bits of corn and cream. It has a very light taste which was the perfect way to end the meal. I wasn’t able to write down the prices though but our total bill was P778.10 but that was because of my mom’s senior citizen card :D
My Verdict: Since it’s my first time to eat there and I haven’t tried out other dishes I’d give it 3/5 spoons.
The place was clean, I dislike a very smelly ladies room and theirs was clean which is good! The attendants we’re friendly and accommodating, which is a plus!

Will I eat there again? Yes.

My Companions

 

Cat’s do have weird positions, one of each is different. Piccolo, my half breed persian half native cat was smelling funky already, so I decided to give him a shower. One trick if you want your cat to behave while giving your companion a bath is to first, train him while young, second, ALWAYS cut their nails and third warm water is a must. They keep still, compared to cold running water (at times, I really get lazy to get a pot and wait for it to boil.) So, for this specific bath time, he made a weird position which is really so funny.

After taking a shower, this was how he was sleeping at first:

I was actually surfing the net in my room table and he was sleeping in my sisters bed and when I turned around, I was shocked to see him like this.

                        His head tucked under (you can still see it.)

                   Now his head tucked really waaaay under (weird)

Cat’s make the weirdest position while they are sleeping or cleaning themselves and I find it so cute.

Here’s my other cat Tabby:

My Sunday weekend has been pretty uninteresting, looking forward for next week and hopefully a better one.

Till next time!

Maundy Thursday + a simple celebration

It was a fun filled day yesterday, BF and I got to spend quality time together. We were hoping that the movies were open but too bad it wasn’t, he picked me up almost around lunch already so we decided to have lunch instead. Our options were limited since almost all the shops in Cash and Carry were closed, we also happen to stumble upon our friend Ria and her sister Marie, really loving the cat henna tattoo there :)

We ate at Jollibee for lunch, I wasn’t in the mood for pizza, or japanese, and wasn’t sure about the Grill restaurant they have if it was good or what. So I opted for good ol’ Jollibee. Oh, I just remembered, before that I asked BF to try the Takoyaki at Cash and Carry, I like their Takoyaki compared at Glorietta, Maru Maru. I think the name in Cash and Carry’s Takoyaki was Ton Ton Tei. P56 for 6 pieces.

                                BF’s order, Spicy chicken

 

                         My order, TLC meal with pineapple juice

     There are actually different versions of how they make Takoyaki’s, for this particular stand, they pour in garlic powder and the green stuff I think is parsley or maybe nori, I’m not too sure, and the sauce is good. Inside are veggies.

After spending some time in our place watching God Father I (this film never fails to amaze me or him, for me, it’s my 4th time watching it and I never get tired watching it again and again. ), His mom invited me to attend to their pabasa at Don Galo, around 7-8pm, we got there I think sometime past 7pm. But we were so hungry and Minute Burger was there in front of us. The first time I ate at Minute Burger was here in Pasong Tamo, way back when I was a kid and it still tasted the same. Too hungry, I forgot to take a picture of their promo,  a double minute burger buy 1 take 1 for P33 add 6 for coleslaw. It was fairly good, a lot of people were ordering too.

It was his lolo’s birthday as well yesterday, so it was a 2 way “celebration” lolo’s birthday (Father side) and the pabasa, it was good to see his mom too, and Tita Ne. 1/3 of the Jimenez family were there and it was a riot but fun, meeting the other Uncle’s was a pleasant experience. They talked about accomplishment’s of their sons abroad and how Francisco Coching’s humble beginnings started. BF contributed ice cream for his nephew’s and cousins, kids are easy to please with a big gallon of ice cream, haha! During the night, I mostly talked to his Uncle and his mom. Tita, was asking what my plans are and what happened in my graduation. The blowing of candles was an awwww moment, after blowing the candles, his lolo started to cry,  maybe because he was happy seeing his apo’s, I’m not sure though. At the end of the day, said our goodbye’s to the family, it was getting really late and had to go home already. We had ice cream first, it was a perfect way to end the day.

                  With one of his tita’s, she was very nice to talk to

                                      BF with his Uncle

  We were looking for Selecta’s Brownie fudge a la mode, but there wasn’t any in stock, we chose the Gold label Hazelnut brownie instead, 465ml for P139. It had a very subtle flavor of hazelnut and smaller pieces of brownies, but very creamy. It was okay, not a rant or a rave.

BF and I at 7-11, love him so much. Thanks sweetie for the wonderful day <3
