I am very much tempted to write a post-SONA article (because I’m sure it will definitely help my search ranking :) ), but I want to write something positive and thus SONA might not be a good subject. And so I searched for another topic wherein I could be writing something positive.

Then I remembered, I’ve been meaning to write about the experience I had with BDO just a month ago. And this was with their Angeles-Nepo Branch where I have opened my account. I opened an account with BDO because I have applied for a Paypal account and some friends told me that a BDO account is accepted with Paypal.

Tomorrow, July 28, 2008, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA) will deliver her eighth State Of The Nation Address since she assumed office since 2001. And this early, there has been lots of preparations, both from the camps of the administration and the opposition.

Transport groups are planning to stage a strike on the very same day the President will deliver her SONA, a former government official is said to have already delivered his own SONA. And all of these commotions will definitely continue, days after the SONA has been delivered.

Everytime the school conducts an activity outside their premises, they would send a Parental Consent Slip. This is done to inform the parents of the authenticity of the activity and to seek their permission for their children to join the activity.

Last night, my son presented the said slip to me for signature. They are going to have a Team Building activity on Sunday, and it will be help outside the school. I read the letter, and just as I suspected - the consent comes with a waiver. Signing the consent would mean that I would allow my son to join the activity AND at the same time waiving my rights to hold the school responsible for any untoward incident that might happen during the activity.

Of all the utilities provider here in Angeles City, the water district I believe has the most inefficient billing system. And this is not based from hearsay, but from my own experience. Ironically, they are the only one who penalizes members for late payment.

In my previous business location, it’s very rare that I receive my water bill. If ever I’ll receive it, it’s going to be late… as in two to three months late. Unfortunately, they already carry penalties with them. All the utilities company actually has the same billing delivery system. They are delivered manually by their own people right to the subscriber’s doorstepsupposedly. But like I said, I am not receiving my water bill.
