After paying a few thousands, which by the way were earnings from my blogs, they say that they don't accept new applications for this kind of business.

I don't undersand why the barangay clearance was approved. Then the occupational permit, which was located on the 3rd floor of the new building of Makati City hall, was approved. But the City Administration, located on the 6th floor, is saying that they don't accept new applications? After already paying Php 3,650 (taxi transpo not included yet), they now tell me that!?

WTF!!! I am so f*cking confused now? Don't they hold office in the same building? Departments from the same city hall!

Paano ko mamahalin ang Makati, kung ganito tayo?

Are big companies, in this line of business that I am trying to put up, paying the city administration to stop accepting new applications?

Can anybody point me to the right people who can help me. Mayor Binay, Jun Jun Binay, Rico Puno? What the city administration is doing is very unfair.

Makati City Hall personnels, do your job!

As I have said on my previous posts dated March 17 and March 19, a Makati City Hall personnel whose name is Engineer Glenn Recamora is giving me a hard time with my occupational permit. After 4 working days of waiting, I am still waiting for this permit to be approved. Take note: they said on March 16, "if you pay now you will get your occupational permit tomorrow". I have to process locational permit, mayor's permit and BIR clearance when I get hold of my occupational permit.

I do daily follow-up's in the morning and afternoon. "He's just doing something, He's outside the office or He's in a meeting."

Friday, March 19, I was able to talk to the Engineer. He said that he's just going to write the report. "When will I be able to get the permit?, I asked." The Engineer said, "Wait until Tuesday next week, we cannot force my two bosses to sign it right away."

"Why is it taking so long for you to do the report? When I submitted the requirements, they asked for payment already, for me to be able to get the report the next day. Do I really have to pay Php2100?". His reply, "I have lots of things to do, did they give you the breakdown when you paid? Php2000, that's for the occupational permit. You can ask a Civil Engineer to do that if you know one, but I already did the report so you can't do that anymore."

At that point, I was so annoyed already. They never told me that I don't have to get occupational permit from their office. I have an uncle who is a Civil Engineer so I could have saved Php2000. I then told him that I will follow-up on monday. He said to follow-up with May monday afternoon.

At 9 am this morning I called Makati City Hall. Anna, the personnel that I talked with March 16, said that the engineer who made me wait 3 working days just for the report finally submitted it. Another boss signed it already and she's just waiting for another official to sign it. "I will call or text you in the afternoon." I asked her if I'll be able to get the permit today, "Yes, definitely, the boss usually signs documents in the afternoon."

No call or text the whole day. I called May at 330 pm, "You can't get it today, there was a problem with the affidavit and we had to do it again." I asked who did the affidavit. Her exact words, "Aba ewan ko, sino ba may gawa ng affidavit mo?" I said I submitted all the requirements tuesday and I don't know who did the affidavit. I have no idea that when she made that "unprofessional" comment, she gave the phone to Anna without even telling me! Anna then explained to me that they did the affidavit but there was a mistake so the boss asked them to redo it again. She then promised me again that it will be ready for pick-up tomorrow.

I am very angry right now.

restrain yourself...

From buying compulsively.

Every credit card owner should remind that to themselves. Unless they don't want to be debt-free. Having a credit card is a big responsibility to one's self.  I myself had a credit card, for the first and I hope the last time, 10 (ten) years ago. I'm proud though to say that I was very responsible in using my credit card. I diligently pay my dues in time, mind you I pay a day after I use it. 

Funny right? Sometimes, when I use it in the morning to buy something, I ask my sister to pay for it in the afternoon. I do have a very valid reason for doing that, I am a very forgetful person.  I fear that I might forget paying for my credit card bills eventually if I wait until the due date.

Advantages of having a credit card? Many people will probably say "a lot". For me though, I can only think of disadvantages of using credit cards. I would rather spend the money that I have in my pocket than use a credit card. I don't want to owe anything to anybody. I would rather buy a small and inexpensive thing using my own money than purchasing a very expensive item that I can't even pay later on.

I am proud to say that I am debt-free. What about you?
