memories

what could life be like if humans don't have capacity to keep memories?
will they UNcomplicate life?

one of my guilty pleasures is watching the series CHUCK.

the show's plots aren't exactly the kind that leave you breathless like Prison Break did before. however, i never stopped watching the show because the characters somehow grew on me. the show has endearing characters that make me wonder sometimes how it would be like to meet those people in real life. apart from the characters, the show's humor and the sense of family among the characters are the reasons i never miss watching an episode.

last night, i watched CHUCK closed its curtains after five seasons. the writers ended the show with sarah losing her memories due to a defective version of the intersect program, which she downloaded into her brain. this left chuck with a wife who can't remember anything from the last five years of her life. no memories of him and the life they've had before.

who do you think has it worse?
chuck who loves sarah and remembers every little bit of the good and bad they've shared together?
or
sarah who lost every bit of memory but is forever reminded how great a life they had and would still have should she just trust the man she can't even remember?

so, memories.

would you want to keep all, good and bad?

Updated: February 24, 2018 Did you know that you can actually view your Account Information online? For someone who rely heavily on the Internet for anything and everything, this bit of information came to me late. I honestly don't know when this government portal came to exist. Well, I do know that PAG-IBIG has a website, just not this feature. So if you have a PAG-IBIG housing loan, you can check your account balance and payment history for the last 12 months by visiting the PAG-IBIG website . How to Access the Site Simply input your housing loan account number , your first and last names , and the captcha to signify that you are not a robot, shown above. That's it! Once in, you can check your account information such as loan value, term, interest rate, take out date, outstanding balance, and monthly amortization. It also has a Billing Statement Email Facility feature where you can opt to receive your monthly billing statement through email. There, you are ...

Pay PAG-IBIG Housing Loan Via Metrobankdirect

A few days back, I went to PAG-IBIG Ayala Cebu Branch to submit the receipt of my realty tax payment for the years 2017 and 2018. While one can actually send the scanned receipt online, I opted to submit mine in person. Good thing I did so because then I learned about the following announcement: Apparently, effective July 2018, all housing loan borrowers are advised to pay their housing loans through different payment channels (as indicated in the announcement). Rather than wait for the July 1 start date, I thought I'd give paying via Metrobankdirect--Metrobank's online channel--a try. Actually, the reason I opened a Metrobank account was primarily for this purpose. However, I didn't use the account as I initially intended because paying over the counter gives my mother a chance to drop by Ayala Center. She normally does not go to the mall, but paying my HDMF housing loan gives her a reason to do so. But with this new policy, I guess I have no other choice but to comply...

5 Steps to Enroll Your Metrobank Account Online

Below is a quick run-through of how to enroll your Metrobank account online: The steps enumerated are from the perspective of those who have a Metrobank ATM savings account. Thus, the form in step no. 3 asks for details of your ATM Card number ( not your bank account ) and your PIN number---the same PIN number you key in when transacting with an ATM machine. Note that your ATM card only has sixteen (16) digits. The form will require you to input 19 digits. Thus, don't forget to add three zeroes after the card number to complete the 19-digit requirement. If you don't have an ATM account, but have a Metrobank credit card instead, you simply select Credit Card from the drop-down menu. The form that you will fill out then will include your credit card number, the embossed name (the one shown on your credit card), the CVC/CVV number (the 3-digit number at the back of your card), and the expiry date. The rest of the required fields are the same for both cards. Once you successf...
