PRC Initial Registration for New Architects: How it should be done
1) Prepare the following:
- duly accomplished Oath Form (with 1 photo already PASTED on)
- current Community Tax Certificate (cedula)
- extra 1 passport size picture (colored with white background and complete name tag)
- 1 short brown envelope with name and profession
- Initial Registration Fee of P600 and Annual Registration Fee of P450 for 2015-2018, P42 (EXACT! They don't have enough change) for 2 sets of metered documentary stamps, P700 for UAP-IAPOA Membership Fee, and P2 for photocopy of UAP-IAPOA Membership Fee O.R.
2) On the day of registration, get your O.R. of membership from UAP-IAPOA at address 929 Consuelo Bldg, Room 307, Morayta, Manila. Pay P700. They will also give you a short brown envelope containing their brochure and a ribbon medal to wear to the Oath Taking ceremony. Speaking of which...
You may also buy Oath Taking ceremony tickets there at P1200 per head (plus optional P350 exclusive photographer fees) if you do not wish to wait until the day of the ceremony itself to buy them.
3) Photocopy O.R. of membership from UAP-IAPOA across PRC (because the one inside recently broke down). Pay P2.
4) Buy 2 sets of metered documentary stamps inside PRC, right by the entrance. Pay P42. Put the other metered documentary stamp in your short brown envelope along with your 1 extra photo. Go on to the Main Bldg. Ground Floor.
1) Queue at Window 11/12 in PRC Main Bldg, Ground Floor. Submit Oath Form and O.R. photocopy. They will staple them together.
2) Sit down somewhere and wait until they call you. Receive Permanent Examination and Registration Record Card (PERRC) along with stapled Oath Form.
STEP 2: Payment
1) Queue at Window 1/2. Submit stapled Oath Form and PERRC. Pay P1050.
STEP 3: License Form
1) Queue at Window 8/9. Write in black ink details at the back of PERRC such as amount, date registered, etc. Submit PERRC face down.
2) Sit down somewhere and wait until they call you. Receive printout with license number. Stamp right thumbprint.
STEP 4: Finishing
1) Sit down in front of Window 10/11 and change seats as the queue moves. Signed 3 specimen signatures and write on short brown envelope your license number while waiting and changing seats. Approach an available Window as soon as it's your turn.
2) Submit short brown envelope (containing unpasted metered documentary stamp and 1 extra photo), stapled Oath Form, PERRC, and printout. Receive Claim stub.
DONE. See you at the Oath Taking! :D
PRC Initial Registration for New Architects: How it actually happened
Warning: This is the chaos version! For the ideal version check the next post :)
STEP 1: Verification
1) Prepared the following: duly accomplished Oath Form, current Community Tax Certificate (cedula), lots of passport size pictures (colored with white background and complete name tag), 1 short brown envelope with name and profession, and Initial Registration Fee of P600 and Annual Registration Fee of P450 for 2015-2018. Arrived early (11am).
2) Queued at Window 12 in PRC Main Bldg, Ground Floor to present everything prepared. Was told to buy 2 sets of metered documentary stamps.
3) Bought 2 sets of metered documentary stamps. One was pasted on the Oath Form and the other was put inside the short brown envelope. They can't give me exact change so it was P3 short.
4) Queued at Window 12 again. Was told to paste the photo onto the Oath Form.
5) Sought the counter with a tub of paste. Pasted the photo onto the Oath Form.
6) Queued at Window 12 again. Oath Form was received.
7) Sat down somewhere and waited until my name gets called. My name got called. Was told to get O.R. of membership from UAP-IAPOA at address 929 Consuelo Bldg, Room 307, Morayta, Manila. The PRC website said nothing about getting an O.R. from UAP-IAPOA.
8) Walked around looking for Consuelo Bldg until a guard called me over to direct me up the stairs (poor guy must have been calling lost-looking new architects off the street all day). The cost was P700. The PRC website said nothing about preparing P700. and they gave a short brown envelope containing a brochure and a ribbon medal thing to wear at the ceremony. They were also selling tickets to the Oath Taking Ceremony at P1200 per head plus P350 for in-event photographer. Sought an ATM to withdraw to buy 4 tickets. Got the O.R. and walked back to PRC.
9) Queued at Window 12 again. Was told to get a photocopy of the O.R. Onga naman.
10) Went out of the Main Bldg. to find PRC's xerox machine broke down so had to go out across the street for a copy costing P2. Got the photocopy.
11) Queued at Window 12 again. Oath Form with pasties and photocopy was finally received and stapled together. Was never asked for my cedula because I already wrote its number in the Oath Form. Thank you PRC website.
12) Sat down somewhere and waited until my name gets called. My name got called. My Permanent Examination and Registration Record Card (PERRC) was handed to me, along with my stapled Oath Form. Was told to go on to STEP 2.
STEP 2: Payment
1) Queued at Window 1 (Window 2 was closed). Presented stapled Oath Form. Paid P1050. Was told to go on to STEP 3.
STEP 3: License Form
1) Queued at Window 8. Was told to write in black ink the amount paid, something else(I forgot), and date registered at the back of PERRC, which I should place face down on top of the stack of face-down PERRCs of fellow registrants.
2) Sat down somewhere and waited until my name gets called. My name got called. My printout with license number was handed to me. Stamped right thumbprint. Was told to go on to STEP 4.
STEP 4: Claim Stub
1) Sat down in front of Windows 7, 10, and 11 and changed seats as the queue moved. Signed 3 specimen signatures and wrote on short brown envelope my license number while waiting and changing seats(kinda tricky). Approached an available Window as soon as it's my turn. Presented short brown envelope (containing unpasted metered documentary stamp and 1 photo), stapled Oath Form, and PERRC. Claim stub was ripped off the Oath Form and handed to me. Was told to claim my Professional ID card at the Oath Taking. Was finally done and able to have lunch at 2pm.

Bloglovin
Follow my blog with Bloglovin
I found Bloglovin' when I was looking for a way to keep myself up to date with my friends' blogs. A friend in Facebook linked to her latest blogpost where she reviewed a toner for oily skin. Having skin so oily, US troops would invade it, I'm pretty interested. I'll probably try it when my current toner runs out.
Until then, I'm happy with my Eskinol Calamansi... Not as glamorous, but it gets the job done ;)

my cosplay 2012
So yes, I'll be cosplaying Mio Akiyama of the K-On! series.
I'm growing my hair out for the wedding after which I plan to have it straightened and maybe get a hime cut.
The uniform (navy blazer, white shirt, blue ribbon, grey skirt and shoes) I already have from my previous Tsumugi cosplay. And I think I already have black socks lying around somewhere.

Silly Dream
I just woke from a silly dream and thought I'd share it with you guys.
I'm aware it's been a while since I last blogged; especially in this platform, and in this way; but I suppose reading through Xiaxue's archives somehow prompted me to start blogging again.
ANYWAY the dream:
It was the usual kind of dream where you start off watching a scene like in a movie, and then when I inadvertently start reacting or relating to one of the characters, I became that character, jumping right in to immediately answer my own question "Why, (if I'm that character,) I oughtta..."
That character I turned into may be anyone; a young boy, an old Indian woman, an unsure yuppie. I guess I should start describing the 'first' scene, as my dreams usually jump around from one scene to another, varying in genres and pure randomness. There may have been far more many scenes before it, but it was the earliest my right-brain memory could remember, as the rest have already faded away while I rambled in this post XD
I saw a young, newlywed couple who just moved in to a new neighborhood. A Christmas party targeted for children has just ended in their apartment, and the last child has just left, a boy tightly hugged the woman whom he loved so much. I assumed it's because he's her nephew or something, as I related it to my own relationship with my nephew Mikko. I could see myself doing the kiddie stuff never through my own kids, but through others' whom I'd love no less.
And immediately I was that woman. A dark-haired caucasian with a touch of Latina, secretly and painfully conscious of her own huge hips and thighs and wishing she could lose more weight, as she was taking down the holiday decorations off their windows. The new husband stopped her before she could get any further, telling her to let them savor the seasonal spirit for one more day. She closed the windows, still strewn with childish and cheap tinsel and plastic bells and mistletoes, and leaned back into his arms, staring out. She thought, "Well, he (the boy) would like that, too."
In the morning the man left for work on his motorcycle, similarly with dark Grecian-like features, as his wife ran out of the house asking in vain if she could ride with him to buy something, but the load roar of his motorcycle drowned out her uncertain, obviously not-loud-enough shy request, leaving her behind. The next scene showed her riding in a strange make shift shuttle system that resembled a jeep, which showed her coming back home with a jar of figs, annoyed with her own long, thick and straight black hair for flying about during the open-air ride. She was riding with her neighbors, all of which were of different races and backgrounds.
She went home to be greeted by a young plump redhead with frizzy hair and glasses who seemed to be wearing a costume straight out of Mobile Suit Gundam. That's when I realized the young woman was wearing something similar, although hers was a black short skirted number while the chubby redhead's was green.
I didn't find it strange at all to find Leonard Hofstadter sitting in one of the tables of what seemed to be a wedding reception banquet hall made out of an HDB's void deck. The redhead seemed to be trying to get Leonard to get attracted to the darkhaired woman, but for some reason it was Sheldon who looked more intrigued than anybody. He kept asking what's going on, and the darkhaired one (me?) kept trying to get him to stay still and wait for the redhead's announcement. She seemed to be worried he'd view the situation differently from what the redhead intended.

He kept asking what's going on, and the darkhaired one (me?) kept trying to get him to stay still and wait for the redhead's announcement. She seemed to be worried he'd view the situation differently from what the redhead intended.
And sure enough, Sheldon was soon at the podium announcing to all the guests that he, like everyone else in that party, was unsure what in the world was going on, specifically whose marriage it was they were supposed to be celebrating, as apparently they attended no wedding, let alone the redhead's,who invited them all there. He went on to say that he has found the whole affair to be nothing more than another product of an otaku's delusion, as the whole party apparently was a celebration of her fanfic's wedding between Char Aznable and Natalie Bianchi. He suggested everyone to stand up and leave this 'utter hogwash that's not even canon'.
As the dark haired lady (who finally realized what their costumes were for, as they looked similar to Char's uniform) looked around as the guests stood up to leave, with the redhead pleading them to stay. Personally I found the redhead to be indeed a bit deceptive, but I suppose her dark haired friend is loyal, for the next thing I knew I found myself going up to Sheldon to interrupt his speech:
"Sheldon," she started with a very firm voice, like I remembered how I talked to my brother when he was trying to test our limits, "please. sit. down."
Sheldon tried to say more to prove himself right but her voice raised in volume a bit higher, but the pitch lower: "Now."
Subdued, Sheldon left the podium, but it was already too late. She addressed the leaving guests, "Why are you all leaving? The party is about to start!"
They answered "The married couple wasn't even real!"
At that she(I?) banged the podium with open palms and called out, "SO WERE ROMEO AND JULIET! And yet their love, and their tragedy, were celebrated for hundreds of years by EVERYONE. Including each and every one of YOU. Why can't we celebrate THEIR love now?"
At that point I found myself awake. I was frustrated for not being able able to know if she has succesfully convinced them, but I resigned myself to thinking it was an arguable point.
