still waiting in endless queues to get your passport?

No Comments

I just can’t relive the memory of the first time I went to DFA to apply for a passport back in 2002 without reliving the long endless queues, all the hassle + the trouble brought about by bureaucracy + whatnot! Really not a pleasant experience! Imagine after enduring a whole day’s worth of falling in line + waiting for my turn, I even had to return the next day just to get what I initially came for? Very inconvenient + disappointing, I tell you!

The worse thing is that I never get to use the passport anyway (I was planning to seek employment overseas, back then, but had a change of heart since my parents, especially our father, won’t let us) after all the trouble I had to go through to get it!  It settled dormant in a box with the rest of my stuff, untouched + unstamped, until it expired in 2007.

I never had the need to renew the thing since.

Now,  imagine how surprised I was when I found out that I no longer have to suffer the same fate if I were to renew my passport. In fact, much thanks to Teleserv’s innovative services, I can easily go online or dial from my phone for passport renewal via their DFA Passport Appointment System. There are two ways to do this:

a. Applying via internet

  • simply log-on to passport.com + follow instructions to get an appointment schedule
  • prepare all needed documents or requirements (check out the list here)
  • just go to the DFA Consular Affairs Office at the scheduled date + time (check CAO’s location here)

b. Applying through phone

  • Call the DFA Passport Appointment System by dialling (02)737-1000 to get an appointment schedule
  • prepare all needed documents or requirements (check out the list here)
  • just go to the DFA Consular Affairs Office at the scheduled date + time (check CAO’s location here)

Really fast + convenient + it saves you a considerable amount of time you can use for some other endeavors.

Apart from this service, Teleserv also provide NSO Birth Certificate Delivery, Overseas Exit Clearance, + Group Application Services for NSO Certificates. Not only are they fast + convenient, but they also provide secure + confidential online payment options.

Here’s where you can keep in touch with Teleserv:

  • visit their website here + here

  • you can also subscribe for newsletter by sending them an e-mail with the subject “join”
  • give them a call:

As for me, I’ll take note of these contact details, you never know when they will come handy, right? I might be needing a passport soon or I might be needing to get one for my son 😉

a green deal

2 Comments

Ever since I came across Human Heart Nature’s all-natural products, I’ve been wanting to sign-up for dealership, only I was thinking that it was a little bit expensive for a stay-at-home mum like me. That is why when I found out that Muraito is offering a great deal of being a H?N dealer for only P349.00 (about $8), I immediately grabbed the deal + purchased one. You don’t really need to sell the products, if you’re not keen on selling, you can simply use the exclusive discount for personal use.

What’s included in the package?

  1. An exclusive lifetime discount of 25% on all H?N products
  2. H?N personal ID
  3. Three (3) Human Nature Catalogues
  4. Seven (7) Human Nature Fliers +,
  5. A welcome bundle which includes the following best-selling items:
  • Citronella Bug Spray DEET-Free (50ml)
  • Peppermint Lip Balm (4g)
  • Feminine Wash with Aloe Vera + Chamomile (50ml)
  • Citrus Burst Sugarcane Spray Sanitizer (50ml)
  • Deodorant with Rosemary & Sunflower Oil (50ml)
  • Pearl Powder & Aloe Vera Strengthening Shampoo (50ml)
  • Mandarin Scent Avocado Moisturizing Conditioner (50ml)
  • Hydrating Facial Wash (50ml)

The H?N voucher will be send to your email + you only need to print it when you are ready to pick-up your items, the voucher is valid until August, by the way, so  you will have plenty of time to schedule claiming your items.

What I truly love about Human Heart Nature apart from their products being 100% all-natural, is the fact that they also have livelihood programs to help the poor + the needy, so with a purchase of this bundle of joy, you not only earn a sigh of relief from Mother Earth, but you will also get to lend a hand in helping other people in need. It is like hitting two noble causes with a single stone, really + who could ever say no to that, right?

And what I like about this fairly new site, apart from coming up with great deals like this one, is  that you can also pay for your purchases in the safety and comfort of your home thru Paypal. Simply e-mail Muraito + they will almost instantly reply with their Paypal details.Very convenient, right?

If you are all for one-click-of-a-button online shopping + these eco-friendly products, I’ll say you give this green deal a try!
