One SINFUL and hot, tiring day, red tape

April 8, 2008.. Wow.. I've gained a BIG sin... well, today is the distribution of grade s in our school, and whoa!, a lot of students rushed in even at 7:00 in the morning just to get and view their grades.. Me and my girl came to school at about 8:00 AM, but came to our senses that the line has reached the fourth floor of another building, coming down the basement of the admin bldg.. and it sucks...a lot... knowing some tactics of our own, we tried to sneak inside the admin bldg and telling the security guards that we will be paying our graduation fee.. we went to the cash office's line where, (take note), the line for the distribution of grades is being cut off to avoid overcrowding... Well, at past 9:00 AM, the line between the cash office and the registrar (where grades are being printed and distributed) came to a big mess, so "SOME" students, including me and my gf take the opportunity and acquiring yet another sin.. Imagining getting paid without labor.. hahaha.. what an opportunistic and strategic move, but it was so, so, bad.. so kids, don;t try this at college.. unless you need to.. harhar

After going through a lot of heat and chitchat with some classmates, we decided to go off...we went to they city hall of Makati to get myself a court clearance..but as they said, expect the unexpected... TO acquire a court clearance, you will be needing a fiscal clearance, and to do this... you will be needing to pay P50.00, get a 1x1 photo, and have it signed by a assistant city prosecutor.. whoa.. SUCH LONG PROCESS.. considering you will be needing to go a lot of floors.. but that's not it.. YOU WILL BE NEEDING TO WAIT FOR 2 days.. whoaaa...

I hope in the future, the government will reduce the processes and lessen the requirements (slashing some unnecessary ones) in getting documents and i really hope there would be a national database of all people so that there is no need to repeat the submission of birth certificates again and again in different government institutions... that's all..
