all walks, all lines... literally!

karen, my cousin, went up to my room and asked the sleepyhead me if i wish to tag along with her to SSS caloocan. after her words get in through my brain and had all of it deciphered 2 seconds later, i said ok.

i've been working for 4 years now but yeah i still don't have my own SSS membership account so i thought why not go with her and arrange all the documents that a 25 year old adult should have. it's not that i'm stupid or anything but for the past 4 years, i've been busy in the animation industry. the job, unlike what others perceive, is exhausting and really requires extended hours of work that i don't have a time even for myself. well, that's before. bago pa lang naman kasi and i still need a lot more training but now, that i feel more relax in my field, i guess it's time for me to set all things straight.
so, karen and i went to sss caloocan. when we arrived, the end of the line was like close already to the door. i was a bit shocked though i'm expecting it na ganun na talaga kahaba ang pila kasi it's past 10 am na nga. there, i get a membership form and fill all the required information while lining up also. we waited until it's our turn. karen would just get her id but the man in the counter told her, "hindi uso ang reservation dito!" i don't know what he meant but it was really impolite for him to say that. kasi yung facial expression niya nakakainis din. then it's my turn, he said that he could not possibly approve my application because my birth certificate is not registered in the local registry. he told me to go drop by our municipal hall and had it registered.
