matchbox twenty's manila concert tomorrow canceled

-
awhile back, i was just ranting about how the universe was telling me that there's no chance i could ever watch matchbox twenty live in my lifetime. i pointed out the several factors that were preventing me from watching the concert. as soon as i finished writing that post, i shared it over at my FB page and one of my officemates commented that the concert was canceled.

not to believe right away, i googled the news to verify, and this was what i found over at InterAksyon Entertainment's website:
below is the text of that news clip:
Due to the threat of supertyphoon Yolanda, the management of Matchbox Twenty decided to cancel the band’s concert at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday. In a press release, concert promoter Music Management International said, “The band is disappointed”, but added that weather conditions had made travel to the Philippines dangerous. For refunds, ticketholders may call SM Tickets at 4702222 or return their tickets at the outlets where they were purchased.

i've mixed reaction over this news. partly, i'm glad because i will get a refund for my ticket. but mostly sad, because the band won't have the chance to visit our country and share their music live to thousands of filipinos who adore them.

UNIVERSE, make way for them to visit the country, please! and while, you're at it - why don't you bring them here in cebu, hehe...

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...
