Bank of the Philippine Islands' (BPI) My ePrepaid Card

I do remember applying My ePrepaid Card, a prepaid card product by Bank of the Philippine Islands' (BPI). I do remember applying the aforementioned prepaid card December of 2014.

People apply for the aforementioned card in two (2) ways. Via the BPI Prepaid Facebook page. And the other one is applying in a BPI branch with an application form.

The processing fee and renewal for the card is 500 pesos for GMMA residents, and 600 pesos for non-GMMA residents. I just forgot if there's payment for lost and damaged cards.

For online application, clients may choose or nominate a BPI branch they want/like. I chose SM Megamall because, technically, and huling shopping mall gago ako sumakay ng bus (although nadadaanan ko and Shangri-La Mall; Edsa Central and Pavilion.

On these book cafés.

I've been reading books (mostly fiction) since after I'd seen the first Harry Potter film/movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone*. I'm planning to give away or sell some of my books. Why? For some reasons.

Here are some of my reasons:
1) I read some of my books due to out of curiosity.
2) The pages of some of my books are yellowish.

I'm thank the website spot.ph for these posts.

On McDonald's Philippines' Happy Meals featuring Peanuts toys.

I forgot the day I bought my first Happy Meal from McDonald’s. I do remember I bought it from Megamall. I order Burger Mcdo with regular fries and Sprite, plus a toy featuring Snoopy and Linus.

I also forgot the day I bought my second Happy Meal from McDonald’s. I do remember I bought it from Strata 100. I order Burger Mcdo with regular fries and Sprite, plus a toy featuring Snoopy and Linus.

The first Snoopy and Linus toy is for me. The second one is for my nephew as a Christmas gift, but he don’t like it. I don’t know why.

Army Navy's Freedom Fries

Matagal na akong hindi nakakain ng Freedom Fries ng Army Navy. I don't remember the last time ate the aforementioned food from the aforementioned fast food chain. I remember tried it way back 2011 or 2012.

Their/Army Navy's fries is thin. And the spiciness is bearable, at least for my taste.

The first time I tried it, is in the Emerald Avenue, Artigas branch of Army Navy. The second time I tried is, today in the Trinoma branch of of the aforementioned fast food chain.

Moleskine's Star Wars edition

Yesterday afternoon after watching the first (1st) 3D screening of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", I was roaming around the fourth (4th) level of Trinoma, I saw a booth of Moleskine and noticed a small number of Star Wars-inspired notebooks.

One of the clerks told me that it costs 1,580 pesos (in Philippine currency (peso)). The Star Wars notebooks are in black and white colors. That staff also a Moleskine notebook can be personalised for free. Meaning, your name can be engraved on the notebook.

Here's my copy of the Star Wars-inspired Moleskine notebook:







I photoshopped my real name in the images above, for personal and legal issues.

The front inside panel contains images and scenes from the seventh (7th) Star Wars movie/film. While the back inside panel contains the Storm Troopers.

One Direction - Perfect (Official Video)

First and foremost, I am not a fan of One Direction.

I do admit that I like on how black and white was used in the music video. Hindi ko alam kung papaano nila, the filmmakers of the music video, ginawa yung black and white theme sa music video.

Tim Ho Wan, SM North Edsa

Last night, my family & I ate our dinner in Tim Ho Wan on SM North Edsa. Tim Ho Wan is a restaurant from Hong Kong.

The food is okay. The service is okay. The prices is affordable. I'm not sure about the area of the aforementioned restaurant, because I wasn't in good mood last night.

The plate, tissue/napkin, and menu.

The tissue/napkin.

The logo.

The menu.

Rice with Beef and Fried Egg.

The food is only 180 Philippine pesos.

Last Friday’s morning traffic (December 11, 2015)

Last Thursday evening, I asked my older brother via Facebook Messenger, on what time that he and his wife will leave from our house. His reply that they will leave at 5:30 AM, and they will try to get a ride using/via MMDA's holiday express from SM North Edsa to Ayala Center in Makati.

Ibinaba ako sa may tawiran sa bus bay sa SM North Edsa. Tumawid ako papuntang Paramount para sumakay ng bus papuntang MRT Ortigas Station.

I was late sa trabaho ako for TWO FREAKING HOURS. Dumating ako sa opisina ng 10 AM.

!@#$%^&*

Here's the story.

Pagdating sa MRT GMA-Kamuning Station, ang traffic ay either light to moderate, or moderate to heavy. But base sa naging experience ko, light to moderate ang traffic. But the TRAFFIC IS MODERATE TO HEAVY IN CUBAO.

But after ng Cubao, light traffic sa Santolan. isang time na nakahinto yung buses, nagkaproblema yung kambyo*. Ang pagkakaintindi ko, hindi lang gaano maayos yung ilalim ng kambyo. Tapos walang pangpukpok na dala yung driver at yung kunduktor.

Note:

* Hindi lang ako sigurado sa spelling.
