Here are some of the highlights that happened to me for the past weeks:

+ Credit Card replacement
After a stupid act of writing down my credit card details and accidentally putting it away I had no choice but to call up my two credit card banks (Citibank and HSBC) to request my cards to be blocked and request a replacement (to prevent it from being used by others online). Basically, i had to pay P400 each for the replacement, thanks to my stupidity. hehe. Well after a few working days, i got my new cards already. Citibank came in a regular long envelope which has a single paper with my account details and my card. HSBC came in a delivery envelope by LBC and includes a booklet type hard paper with my card and lots of brochures with details of my account and some ads. Anyway, i just locked em all up in my pedestal at the office so i can’t use them and they can never tempt me to shop. haha

+Passport and Driver’s License
Finally, i now have my own Philippine passport and a driver’s license. Before i was able to have these, i had a few problems so thanks to some good friends of my grandparents who helped process my papers, everything went smoothly and fairly…

+Reformatting Abit
Due to a virus that slowly destroyed my computer (thanks to my sister..hehe) i had to reformat Abit and yesterday i already reinstalled Windows XP and all the softwares we’re using and scanned and cleaned up Abit. Also i switched to Avast Antivirus after AVG failed me. I’ve been loyal to AVG for a long time but because of a terrible failure, i needed to move on…

+My US Visa
I will be sent to my team’s US office for around 6 months. It will be as an onshore assignment with a few training. Last week, my manager already requested for my documents needed to process my papers and sooner or later i’ll be getting my US L1 Visa. So far, i’m told that i’ll be leaving the country by October. So we’ll see… i’ll be posting about it as soon as i get the exact date and details

+Two long weekends for August
Following our country’s President’s order, August 18 and 25 were made into a holiday. August 18 is in lieu of August 21’s Ninoy Aquino Day and August 25 is for the National Heroes Day. Hmm well its a good thing, coz i love long weekends
