Business Permit Renewal 2016

The odyssey of renewing business licenses has begun!

The residential certificate or Cedula was already obtained by Marie so I went to Brgy III to get the Brgy Clearance. I tried to Google how it's done and it is indeed simple - How to get Barangay Clearance – Requirements and Procedure

To make things simple,fast and convenient the BPLO  set up the different offices and made it into a one stop shop-everything in one place.

First,I went to the Engineering Office section,then to the assessor, next the SOA (Statement of Account) processing which took about two hours.Then I had to pay the dues and since the Fire Dept. section was also set up there, I didn't have to go to their office-voila! There was free coffee and Wi-Fi too.

The only problem I had was with the building lease contract, but since the processing is until the 21st ,I still have ample time. ...to be continued.

Online Shopping hassles

Last year I had a fuss over some of the items/services I ordered online.First , My Photobook voucher from Metrodeals didn't work and I had problems with the website because it was not in English.The other one was with a hotel we booked for our Anniversary trip where I got a humongous bruise because of their unusually high bed.Another one was with Ensogo, where they sent me the wrong items - I received 1pc roll on 40 ml w/ free UWC sampler and free sampler Kojic soap instead of my original order (Belo Essentials Whitening Deo Spray SHOWER FRESH 140ml w/ FREE UWC Sampler). And another one from Hallohallo ,where I got the wrong color of shirt.

instead of 140ml Spray, I got the 40ml roll-on

not one but three!

I guess the most significant was when I got 3 instead of one power bank I ordered during the Online revolution.If I received the wrong item, I had to go through a lot just to get the right item, and worst ,I can't.But when I received something I didn't order, I have to return it because - and I have to explain it- I follow the strict Christian rule of righteousness.

Updates:

Power Banks:
I got a reply from an email I sent to the CS and they told me "Thank you for informing us that you have received more than what you have ordered." and that I can keep it. So the moral of the story is to be honest instead of thinking of simply keeping the stuff.

Belo products:
The CS gave me options to either get a refund or to have the refund credited to my account and use it for future shopping valid for a year.I chose the latter.Great.

Having lenses changed on the HD 720P Spy Video Glasses

My husband bought me spy glasses (from Lazada) for Christmas and thought I'd be able to use it for my work -- I'm a detective ...just joking. It looks like ordinary glasses.I looked up tutorials on how to use it and found a few similar models. This one is helpful - Review: HD 720P Spy Video Glasses

One problem I have with it is it has blurry lenses, probably just made of plastic material.So, I had to have them replaced with lenses I could use while working on the computer. It is like a protective lens. I had an eye check up and so far I don't need prescription glasses so the optometrist suggested for me to get scratch proof lenses which cost me a whopping PhP 1,950.
