USING HOUSE LETTER in CHROME PLATE

-
sometime back, i posted a few pictures about some bookshelves that i love i specifically mentioned that i love the bookshelf shown below the most. i love it because the message is direct: READ. it comes across to me as inspirational and encouraging.

as this unique bookshelf comes all the way from sweden, i clearly cannot have it. but even if it were available here, the trying-to-be-practical person that i am will not be willing to part hard-earned moolah even on this gorgeous piece of furnishing. not to be dissuaded, my mind keeps on thinking how i could achieve the same message without having to spend a fortune. well, things weren't going in my direction. all the things i could think of involves spending a lot of money. so, my book nook remained unadorned for quite some time.
the other day, i finally gave the "READ" thought a rest. it finally dawned on me to settle on my own version of READ - cheapskate style. i also didn't have to do anything grand at all except mix and pin. to get my mission going, i went to ace hardware at sm to get these items.
consequently, the result isn't as magnificent as the READ bookshelf from sweden. but, it more than satisfies. it's not exactly what i wanted, but it gives me a smile, and that is more than enough for me.

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...
