Odds and Ends, This and That

Been feeling out of sorts and under the weather the last couple of days and with nothing better to post anyway...

Yesterday, however, my aunt came over because we had arranged to renew our passports. The thing with her is she has become an American citizen, and since she is a holder of their passport, each time she buys her ticket there, they refuse to let her buy a one-way ticket. The solution is for her to get a Philippine passport. Of course, this could be trickier than most because of her status of having dual citizenship.

Just to cover the bases, we all decided to get our birth certificate from the Census office, which will issue the ones on security paper. Just for the adventure, we all trooped together (my aunt, my sister and I) and other than the fact it will be released on Monday yet, lining up wasn't such a big deal. Only because our need for the birth certificate isn't prompted by having to seek work abroad, which most of the clients are.

Since we had really planned on dropping by the mall, off we went aboard an airconditioned bus. the fare: P10 each, not bad especially since traffic wasn't all too heavy. At Cubao we got off at Farmer's, and began walking... We did manage to check out Gateway stores, which my aunt had never been to.

We looked around condo units on pre-selling and were impressed with the offer. Since it was 4 pm after scouring the stores, we had a snack, which included Dairy Queen. We were on our way to get a ride, when we happened upon mattresses on a Buy One, Take One offer. Too good to pass up, we ended up spending for these and taking the cab home instead.

It was a very tiring day, but fortunately, I felt a little better...
