A Tiring Yet Productive Day

If I’d been given a chance to return adulting from where it came from, I definitely would. Kidding aside! Who else is tired of all these adulting stuffs? I know that definitely, I am not the only one.

Come with me today as I get myself busy on so many things. I woke up early. Not the usual. I had so much on my plate today.

I first went to The Maxicare Primary Clinic at HM Tower, Cebu IT Park, Cebu City, Philippines. This is my company’s partner Health maintenance organization. We have the privilege of getting consultations and laboratories for free. I ran some checks and I had to pick up my results so I headed there early in the morning to avoid the crowd. The clinic was located just across my work place. How convenient.

This is their waiting area. There is free coffee and water for everyone and on the screen, they will flash the queue. People here are very welcoming as well.

After my errands at the Maxicare clinic, I headed to the jeepney stopover. This is my view while heading out.

I saw a gardener taking care of the plants in the Cebu IT Park vicinity. Kudos to this man who made sure that the plants were all well taken care of.

I then rode a jeepney to the Professional Regulation Commission which is located on HVG Arcade, Mandaue City, Cebu.

I went here to get some important documents in regards to my teaching license. I went here today to get my Certification of Rating, Certification of Passing, Action Sheet of Authentication of Professional Identifcation Card and Action Sheet of Authentication for Certification of Board Rating. If you are a Licensed Professional Teacher like me, you’ll know what all these are for. Fingers-crossed.

After my errands at the Professional Regulation Commission, I headed to the National Bureau of Investigation. I wasn’t sure where it was here in Cebu City so I made to take a motorcycle taxi - Maxim. The driver dropped me off safely at Insular Square, Mandaue City where the National Bureau of Investigation is. It is my first time to be in this mall. I recall that the NBI in Cebu City was then located at Jmall Mandaue but then they relocated to Insular Square Mandaue.

In the Insular Square Mall there are two government agencies that could be found, The National Bureau of Investigation and The Bureau of Internal Revenue.

We lined up for the online application and then paid there as well. If you are planning to get an NBI clearance, you need to present two valid IDs. The transaction was fast. I got my NBI clearance after ten minutes.

Since I finished my errand here earlier, I went to stroll at the mall since it is my first time here and I am unfamiliar with the place.

The photocopy area. If you have some documents to be photocopied, you could visit the photocopy station at the second floor located near the National Bureau of Investigation office.

The Elevator. There is an elevator but it seemed under repair because everyone used the stairs.

Massage Station. If you want to unwind and relax after a stressful day this station is perfect for you. There is a massage area with an hourly rate. It is located on the ground floor just beside the elevator.

Cellphone Repair Shops and Vape Shops. In this area are stalls who repairs mobile phones and gadgets and also a stall who sells vape and vape juices.

Insular Times Square Mall in Mandaue City, Cebu is Pet Friendly!

While strolling at the mall, one thing that struck my attention was this little furbaby in his diapers taking a hike inside the mall. I highly appreciate malls that are pet-friendly.

See you, Caduawan, Tabogon, Cebu!

I finished all my errands today and it was finally time to go home. I had some more errands to do at the province so I then headed home immediately. I rode a public utility vehicle and the fare from Mandaue City to my hometown Caduawan, Tabogon, Cebu is two hundred pesos or approximately four dollars. A three to four hour trip. Time to take a nap. Ciao!
