August 25 -2010 : Declared as National Mourning Day in the Philippines in observance of what was happened last August 23 (Monday), when 8 innocent Hongkong nationals died because of the bloody hostage drama. In accordance, it was said that, all the flags from different countries will flew at half-mast in memory of the tragic accident.

I know that, saying the word "condolences" is easy, but to feel it especially for the love ones of the victims is the most hard things to do. But, now, eventhough i did not witnessed the tragic incident (im at work during the incident), i feel pain of what was happened and im mourning too. Eventhough i don't know them, but still, they are people like me who also feel pain and we are all god's children. May our prayers be with you. Again... Condolences for the family and relatives of the 8 innocent Chinese victims.

Shopping online is an interest which i've never tried before until the day i saw top-dresses.com on my facebook page. They all have the styles and designs that i'm looking for a dress. Because of their user friendly and detailed website, 24 hour customer service assistance and convenient ways of payment, my transaction with them got so fast.

Attached here with is one of the first four dresses i bought last May6. Because of their fast door to door delivery through DPEX, it only took 6 days when i received my orders. When my colleagues saw the good quality and cheap price of the dresses i bought, for the second time, i together with my friends purchased a total of 13 dresses worth US$119.37 only (including shipping fee) for a single order. I also received 10% discount and hundred points because of my bulk orders. Now, i'm on my way to reach 1,000 points for another set of discounts.


Everyday turns to be an exciting day for me to surf on their newly added items on their website. Soon, i will use this opportunity to earn an extra income by reselling dresses from top-dresses to my friends, relatives and officemates.

SSS ID is one of the major ID that every Filipino must have. Most of the bank transactions or any movements related to your personal identification required SSS ID or any valid id's (Voters ID, Passport, Drivers license etc.).

I just want to share what i was experienced when i was about to claim my SSS ID.

As far as i know and base on my friends and colleagues who already have their SSS ID, all you have to do is (1) to apply personally at any SSS branch who have photo machines to capture your picture. (2) Fill up the E6 Form, (3) take the picture and (4) wait 1-2 months to mail your ID in your preferred address you wrote on your E6 form. But when i was about to do it, i preferred to apply at Antipolo Branch, since it is the nearest SSS Branch in my place (Morong, Rizal) and most especially it is the branch covered my place, everything goes different. And these are the following steps i was accomplished;

- Go to SSS Branch which covered your location. (For example, Mandaluyong - SSS Capitol)

- Ask for E6 form at Customer Assistant lane then Fill it up.(you can also download E6 form from their website so you can proceed to the next step. click here to download E6 form)

- Pass your accomplished E6 form to the other counter assigned to verify if you are qualify to claim your SSS ID.
note: you can also check your status in their website if you are eligible to claim your ID. click here to register at SSS website.

- Wait for your name to be called.

- They will ask for 2 valid ID's, then if there are no problems with your SSS Status, they will give you back your E6 form with stamp that you are qualify to claim your ID.
note: (keep the 2 valid id's you presented at the branch you applied for SSS id and make it sure that this 2 valid id's are the id's you will presented when you will do the picture taking at the main branch. They will not allow any other id's but the id's you presented upon applying for E6 form.)

- Go the SSS main branch which was located at Quezon City.

- Present your E6 form with stamp at counter 39 (as of now) at SSS main branch. Then, they will give you your schedule attached at your E6 form for you to take picture,most probably one day after.

- Comply with your assigned schedule.

- NOW: Wait for 8-9 months to mail your ID at your preferred location. Make it sure that you will write the correct address for the delivery of your ID, or else you cannot have your SSS ID.

I hope this information will help especially for those individual who are first timer to claim their SSS ID. Feel free to leave your comments if you have queries.


As of now, December 20, 2010, i do not have my SSS ID yet, when i called the SSS ID Department, they told me that my ID was about to mail by January- February 2011. I applied last May 13, 2010. It took 8-9 months (after your successful application) to recieve your SSS ID.

March 25, 2010, 1:30pm (Philippine GMT) - While we are eating during our lunchbreak, all of a sudden we felt that we are shaking from 22nd floor of a B.D.O Building here in Makati,City, Philippines. At first, we did not pay an attention on what we felt but then, i, together with my other officemates realized that there is an earthquake. The shaking continues for about 3-5 minutes long with 6.1 magnitude, intensity 7.

Because we are in building's penthouse, i saw how the building and the light balls shooked. It is my first time to experiecne this kind of climate change. Thanks God that the earthquake ends at exactly 1:37 (Philippine time) and as of now, no casualties reported.

I was surprised for what i have read. This is my first time to join an online trivia contest and it is also my first time to win. hahaha (smile!...). As i remember, it was month of December 2009 when i was searching TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN book series on their website (http://powerbooks.com.ph/), when i browsed and read about the contest. My eagerness to join and win the game pushed me to answer the 15 trivia questions correctly.


I made a phone call at
POWERBOOKS Greenbelt4 branch just for the confirmation and i visited their facebook fan page to see if i really won, hahaha... There, i saw my name together with the other 9 lucky winners.
Since my working place (Paseo De Roxas Makati,City) is quite near on the redemption area (Greenbelt4) instructed on the email, i claimed my price on that day (January 6, 2010). Now i'm using the Journal given by POWERBOOKS as award.


Again, eventhough i already sent them a Thank You message, I want to thank them again (POWERBOOKS) for giving me a chance to win the online trivia competition. We will continue on patronizing your products. More powers and godbless!
