Continuation from previous post:
4) Don't hesitate to ask the guard for directions (e.g., the window where you will have to submit your application documents)
5) If you followed tip nos. 1 & 2 shown on my previous post, you won't have to go to the basketball court where authentication/verification of documents is required.
6) Be snappy. Walk fast in going to one window/area to another. If you need to run, run! (hehehe)
7) If DFA is far from your workplace/residence, better have your passport delivered for a fee of P99.
What are you waiting for?! Move!!! :)

tips on how to apply for a passport (part 3)
II. THE DAY OF APPOINTMENT
1) Be early. If your schedule is at 8:00am, be there at 7:00 am. Applicants usually flock DFA at 8am+. so, better fall in line ahead of the rest.
2) Make sure you got all your application form, photographs, your old passport (if it is application for renewal), birth & marriage certificates (for first-time application), etc. are with you on your way to DFA. (for complete list of documentary requirements, check the back of your application form &/or browse the DFA website &/or call the DFA customer service hotline)
3) Proceed straight to the gate entrance. (Do not entertain fixers or those people who are within the 300meter radius from the gate entrance. If you do, you'll get yourself confused & who knows, be fooled...)

tips on how to apply for a passport (part 1)
i got my passport just this morning. i thought i would have to wait in line. good thing,it took me only 30 minutes more or less (that already includes the travel time) to return back to office.
if you only knew what i went through when i applied for my passport two weeks ago...
well, i would just like to give some tips in applying for a passport. for those who are interested, check it out below:
I. PREPARATION
1) make an online request for an appointment (that is, if you don't want to go to dfa and return again for an appointment)
2) print the confirmed schedule for an appointment (that is, after you followed tip no. 1)
3) print the downloadable application form (i was not able to confirm if that form is valid considering it is printed in small fonts.)

another update!
my two-bedroom house is no longer available but my bachelor's pad is! it was vacated just this weekend. rental rate is at P2,500 per month.
the pad has its own mini-receiving area, mini-kitchen, mini-bedroom, comfort room, and laundry area, among others. outside the pad is a spacious lawn where one could park his/her vehicle and/or just lounge at the mini-garden.
my pad is good for a maximum of three persons. it is safe especially for kids since my gated compound is situated few meters yet from the main road.
if interested, please contact me at 0918-367-3455 or check the unit at 1st street, saint joseph subdivision, butuan city. you may look for libeth gesultura-trangia for assistance. she may not be around all the time, hence, i suggest you text/call me first.
for directions, please check my prior posts. :)

What's with the Snake People?!
I got this article from a website which I could no longer remember. Check out what the Year of the Ox has in store for these scaly, elongated reptile beings.
Snake people are those who were born during the year 1905, 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001.
Snake Overview
The Snake has an incredibly favorable year ahead. The year of the Ox provides many opportunities for the Snake to fulfill long awaited career goals and achieve more than he/she ever imagined. Your wisdom and patience are tools that prove successful in all aspects of your life. Relationships could be taken to new heights and deep and meaningful friendships are acquired. This year proves to be one of action, the year that all of your planning and waiting pay off for you. The later months prove to be especially successful, tying a year of arduous work into an extremely blissful culmination.
Snake Rating
79% (10 favorable and 2 neutral months)
Snake Career
Your wisdom proves to be most resourceful this year, particularly in your career endeavors. Colleagues will admire your input and your opinion will be well respected among business circles. Your work will take you to new levels in your career, as you may see a promotion or a position change that offers you a direction that is more suitable to your skills. March, April and May are strong months for a career change or an upswing in your current position. Be prepared for an outstanding year in your work and don't be surprised if everything you do results in success
Snake Relationships
The Snake's social life will bring a high amount of satisfaction to you this year, as will your family life. Though you tend to be more of a loner, this year will provide occasions that may bring you out of your shell. You have always been a good listener and you will benefit from being more assertive in social situations. More to the point, you may be thrown into a position to be more assertive, rather than volunteering. Your quick thinking will prove to be most useful. Single Snakes may find the romantic relationship they seek, as romance is favored.
Snake Health
The Snake will not suffer any more than minor health issues, but you may want to watch what you eat and make it a point to exercise more often, as these may be areas that you tend to neglect. Your busy work schedule and social endeavors may make it difficult to maintain a regular schedule of exercise, but you can find time here and there to do something active. This will help your heart and may relive stress from a long work week.
Snake Wealth
The Snake will do well with your conservative approach to spending. You have always been disciplined in your finances and this year proves to be no different. If you maintain your frugal manner, you will find that you have accumulated enough by the end of the year to make a large purchase that you have been planning for a long time. If you are in doubt about a particular endeavor, don't hesitate to receive a second opinion before committing.
