New Car..

For years, I have been driving an old used car with a lot of mileage and I hate it. It gets me where I need to go, but I’m tired of fixing leaks and broken parts all the time. It's annoying every time I need to take it to the mechanic. Even when they take care of everything, I know I’ll just end up going back there in a few weeks.

I have finally decided that I am not going to do it anymore. I have decided to buy a new car! Unfortunately, I have a problem. I have no idea what car to get. Do I want something fast? Do I want something big? Do I want something stylish? Something economical? I have so many choices that I don’t even know where to begin. I am not sure if I will be able to make the decision on my own. I don't have a lot of money, either, so I probably don't have many options.

After I did some research, I knew that I would need some expert advice. Eventually, I went to a local dealership to check out some new models. I talked to the saleswoman and listened to her carefully. Her honesty and professionalism were really impressive. She had a lot of very helpful suggestions and showed me some safe affordable choices. After a long discussion, I finally decided which one I wanted. She not only helped me with the paperwork and finished the sale, but also the insurance. I was expecting this purchase to be a serious hassle, but the experience was almost painless. Everything went smoothly, and now I have a brand new car!

I was so excited when I pulled out of the lot that the first thing I did was change lanes right in front of another car. “That wasn't very nice,” I thought to myself. I needed to relax. I didn’t realize what a serious mistake I had made, however. I hadn’t just cut off any other car, I had cut off a police car! It took a few seconds to realize what was happening when I saw the flashing lights in my rearview mirror. By the time I had managed to pull over, my heart was racing. I gathered all the paperwork as he approached my window.

“You forgot to signal back there,” said Officer Johnson, according to his nametag.

“Yes, well, it’s a new car so I guess I was a bit unfamiliar with the controls,” I stammered.

He looked at me skeptically.

“I’m pretty sure the controls for the turn signal are in the same place on every car.”

What could I say? He was right.

“I’m sorry,” I ventured.

He looked over my paperwork and noticed that the car was new.

“It would be unfortunate to get a ticket on your first day in a new vehicle,” he said, smiling.
“Try not to cut in front of anyone on your way home.”

I had never felt so relieved in my life.

“Thank you, officer!”

As he made his way back to his car I let out a huge sigh. I took a few seconds to compose myself before shifting into gear and driving away from the side of the road. Now I have a brand new car and a story to tell!

Busting Out Text Scams!

Scammers are everywhere. And one of their newly discovered playground is the world of SMS (short messaging system) or text messaging. Scamming through text is a clever way of stealing money from people. It's so easy and safe (for scammers' part).

Text messaging is not a much secured way of communication. Anyone who knows your number can easily send a scam message to you. And there's no way for you to figure out the real identity of the sender. Because there is no existing law that requires prepaid subscribers to register their SIM (subscriber identification module). Scammers can easily buy SIMs and change their mobile number. In this way, they can trick more people and still hide their identity.

In this article I'll be giving some tips, not how to know the real identity of the scammer, but how to distinguish genuine text messages from scam ones. It is really hard or almost impossible to determine the identity of a text scammer, but it's so easy to verify if a message is scam or not.

We will bust out two of the most common format of text scams. Let's begin!

1. The Promo Scam

"Congratulations! You won $100,000. Your number was luckily drawn in our Monthly promo draw last July 1st. Please call on this number and look for Atty. Smith for details on how to claim your prize."

Promo scam is a classical format of text scams. This is the first type of text scam that circulated in the SMS world. A lot of people were victimized by this scam. It's because of a simple reason; everybody wants to gain instant money. $100,000 is a huge amount of money to pass up. People who received this kind of message got so excited that they forget to verify if it's true.

Promo scam works like this:

1. The victim will call that number to know the details on how to claim the fake prize.
2. The scammer will ask the victim to send the details of his credit card and/or bank account so they can send the fake prize on that account.
3. Instead of sending the prize, the scammer will quickly access the victim's account and steal all the money of the victim.
4. After sweeping the victim's bank account, the scammer will buy a new SIM and change his number so that the victim cannot contact the scammer anymore when the victim realizes that he was scammed!

*Small time scammers will only ask for cell phone load instead of bank account details. When the scammer got enough amount of load from the victim, he will then change his number.

So here are some tips on what to do if you receive this kind of message:

1. Try to remember if you have ever joined any text promos. If you can't remember anything, then the text that you received is a 99% sure text scam.
2. Look for the promo code. All legitimate promo has their own unique code given by the government. Scammers are genius. They knew this fact. That's why they also put fake promo codes in their scam messages. If you see a promo code in a text message of this kind, try to verify it by calling the government department that handle all promos in your country.
3. Investigate the sender's number. Legitimate text promos use special numbers. They can be three to six digit numbers. If the sender's number looks like an ordinary mobile number, then it's 100% scam.

2. The Roaming Scam

"Hello guys! How are you there? I send a package full of stuffs for all of you. Miss you all! By the way, this is my new roaming number. Contact me here if you have any problem."

The roaming scam targets people who have friends or relatives outside the country. This kind of text scam is somewhat a psychological trick. It triggers the emotional weakness of humans. When a person has special someone abroad then he received a text message like this, he tends to be too excited and cheerful that he started to assume that the sender of the message is his love one.

The amount of money that a scammer can get from this kind of scam depends on how quick before the victim realizes that he was being tricked. It ranges from several days up to a couple of months. Scammers usually ask for cell phone loads. They pretend to have a hard time loading up their mobile accounts in their imaginary country. Sometimes they even ask for money or other stuffs. You can't blame people who are victimized by this trick. Because if you're in the same situation, you will also give everything that your love one asked just to make him feel better while living in a lonely country. Scammers who use this trick are also from the same country as the victim. That's why they emphasizes that they are using a roaming number. So that the victim will not wonder why does the sender's number look like an ordinary local cell phone number.

If you receive this kind of text and you really have a friend or relative that is outside the country, these are the things that you must do to avoid being scammed:

1. Never assume that the sender is your love one. Never reply a text message that attempts to guess the name of the sender. Remember, scammers send scam messages to random numbers. So they don't know if you really have relatives abroad. Sending a reply like, "Joe is this you?" is already a big success for the scammer. Aside from confirming that you do have relatives or friends abroad, you also gave them an instant identity. The scammer will now begin to pretend that he is the real "Joe" that you know. You just made the scammer's job easier. Instead of guessing a name, you should ask the sender his name. If he replied a name that you didn't know, then it's a sure scam. Usually, scammers don't reply anymore if you ask them to give a name. Because the probability of picking a right name, is too low.
2. Contact your relative or friend's old number. If the scammer luckily guessed a right name, then you must verify it. You can contact the old number of your friend or relative, or you can send an e-mail to him if he has an e-mail account.
3. Call that number. If your love one doesn’t have an e-mail account or his old number is not working anymore, the only way to verify the sender's identity is by calling him. Listen to his voice. Try to analyze the way he speaks. And check it yourself if he sounds like the real person. If he doesn’t, then he was just trying to scam you. But usually, if it is a scam, the scammer will never try to answer your call.

A must have for Christmas.

                  This is what i planned to have in this coming Christmas :D 

Whats yours ? share us below in the comment section :D 

                                           

Skylake 6th generation processor & GTX 950 Video Card

Intel lately announced the new generation processors that beats up the Hashwell processors ,

In slight configuration the new processor was branded as Skylake , the new 6th generation processor that has low power wattage consumption and with new additional features such as introducing the new RAM module from DDR3 now to DDR4 in which this model maximize the capacity of memory up to 62 GB compare to previous model DDR3 with only maximum output of  32GB.

After reading all of the reports regarding the performance of skylake, it has slightly improved performance compare to 4th gen processor , If we compare the new release skylake to Hashwell processor , there is  margin  difference between the two,  those are the game testing performance

margins. Even in overclocking the skylake wins in every way.

But if you are planning to build new computer if you don't have one  or  if you have dual core pc build that are almost obsolete,  then you should choose skylake for future proof  as skylake introduces as to the DDR4 memory model,  not only that but there will be  new features to come sooner or next year.  A year or two the 4th gen processors will be downgraded in terms of price and performance  but who the heck will point out that you should get the skylake if you already own a 4th gen processors in which there is only small difference between the two, if i were you, if you have already 4th gen processor and a good rig,Then there is no reason for you to upgrade to 6th gen but if you have plenty of money , no one will stop you :D

The  only available model of proci  in the Philippines right now are i5 6600 , i5 6600k , i7 6700 & i7 6700k,unfortunately the i3 & pentium model of 6th gens are not yet introduced in the global market, but intel promise they will release it soon once the model are ready ,  good  news for average PC enthusiast , bad news for those who recently bought  4th gen i3's & pentiums XD

anyways all in all kudos to Intel for these new released processors , still waiting for  AMD company to match up Intel , rumored has it that AMD probably  will release new type of proci this coming year , 2016 ? we hope so , AMD called it ZEN processors O_O..

roughly skylake cost Php 16k max for i7's  here in Philippines , I'm hoping i can save money to have this processor , it will be a nice gift  to myself  for Christmas :D

On the other hand lets take a look to the brand new Video card in which most of the average gamer will likely to have. The GTX 950.

recently GPU makers a round the globe released the new model of 900 series line up video cards,

This GPU is good to have for those who are in a tight budget but still you want to punch yourself in the face.

The performance of this GPU meh.. an average to moderate gaming , if you love to play games like dota 2 or any MOBA games this GPU must have.  If we compare GTX 950 to GTX 960, still GTX 960 won the battle , because it has great performance bandwidth output and beats the crap out  in modern games in terms of FPS ( Frames per second ) ,. as of now  the average cost of  GTX 950 is Php 8k  while the GTX 960 is Php 9k  minimum up to Php 11k .

If you asked me again , What will you choose ?

if i have enough money i'll get GTX 960 but if i have a really really tight budget ill get GTX 950

if I am the kind of person who wants to pay now upgrade later well i'll get GTX 950 and save for GTX 970 or GTX 980 titan.

                     And the new Oh my gosh photos for today comes to SuperMerryFace :D

How to Get A Non-Professional Driver’s License in the Philippines.

DISCLAIMER :    i have no intent for  harming norclaiming any of this topic , future ideas only.

I just wanna share this very informative topic  of Mr. Edrian Madriaga of Valiant solutions on how to get a Non- Professional Driver's license as I'm planning to get drivers license in the future .

So, you’re ready to get a Non-professional driver’s license, but don’t know how to get started? Or you’ve read several guides, but still uncertain on what you need to prepare?

Fear not, for I’m here to save you from your misery. 

Forget the fixers, and do it yourself. Prove to the world that you’re worthy to be a licensed driver…and besides, you can get your license pretty fast these days.

To give you an idea, I managed to get my non-professional driver’s license after 5 hours. Actually, it should have taken me less than 3 hours had I arrived a little earlier (that lunch break slowed things down for me!). Well then, let’s get started with the difference between a professional driver’s license vs a non-professional driver’s license.

The Difference Between Professional Driver’s License vs. Non-Professional Driver’s License

A professional driver’s license entitles you to drive a vehicle for a living (pampasada). It gives you the privilege to drive public utility vehicles (PUV) such as jeepneys, tricycles, taxi, etc. (which depend on your restriction codes — more on this later) and/or be a hired driver for somebody.

A non-professional driver’s license is perfect for you if you will only drive private vehicles (the ones with green plates), and have no plan of using your driving skills for a living.

In this guide, we’ll only be dealing with people who want to opt for a non-professional driver’s license.

Things You Should Have Before Applying for a Non-Professional Driver’s License:

1. You should already have a student permit from LTO, which is at least one month old.

So you’re saying you don’t have a student permit yet? Proceed to your nearest LTO Regional Office. It should only cost you Php 318 and 2 -3 hours for the whole process. Computation are as follows:

APPLICATION FOR NEW STUDENT PERMIT

TRANSACTIONS                        COST

Drug Test                           Php 300.00

Medical Exam                 Php 100.00

Application fee + Computer Fee  Php167.73

Driving Test Fee   Php 400.00

License Fee + Computer Fee Php 417.63

Total cost : 1,385.26

Revised cost : 1,085.26 

UPDATE: According to Republic Act # 10586, there will

Get yourself one ASAP if you want to have a non-pro driver’s license sooner. Time is ticking! Bookmark this post and come back here after 1 month. Now go!Source: http://www.lto.gov.ph/index.php/services/drivers-licensing/115-summary-of-drivers-license-and-permits-fees-and-charges

2. You should already know how to drive.

“Duh! That’s so obvious Edrian! Why bother reminding us that?” Well…hold your horses right there, and let me explain. Ever heard of people who are licensed without driving? With the help of stubborn fixers, and careless driver wanna-be’s, it’s a sad fact that a lot of people get licensed without actually knowing how to drive. NEVER attempt to be one of them.

You can brag all day about being licensed even without the skills to drive, but you may only get caught in an accident…and even worse…get yourself killed. A very foolish risk. You’re not worthy to be on the road without any driving knowledge.

What to do if you do not know how to drive yet

If you’ll be driving a car, I encourage you to enroll yourself on a driving school.

It’s a great investment for a lifetime skill, believe me. Oh, & by the way, you don’t need to spend that much on a driving school. If you’re a fast learner like me (pardon the bragging right there  ) I only enrolled for a 3 hour driving course (worth Php 1,500) and learned everything I need to know. Things like: How to park, how to use the stick shift, when & how to use the clutch, how to do a maneuver, how to drive on an uphill, how to drive on crowded streets, troubleshooting, etc.

If you’re really on a tight budget, just ask a professional driver, or any of your friends/relatives/family members with a professional driver’s license to teach you how to drive. For best results, provide them with a merienda. 

3. Make Yourself Familiar with the Road Signs, Traffic Rules, and Best Practices for Driving

Get ready for an exam! This step is necessary in order for us to do well on the road. Every applicant for a Non-Professional driver’s license needs to undergo an exam to make sure you avoid trouble to yourself, and others, on the road.

IMPORTANT: Don’t take chances! If you fail the exam, you’ll have to wait for

6 months

 30 days before you may apply for a non-professional driver’s license again (yikes!). You’ve got to get at least 30 out of 40 items right. This reviewer should help you get started:

http://ltoexam.boxpinoy.com/answers.php

4. Have Your 

Drug Test

 & Medical Examination Results On Hand

IMPORTANT:**You should do this at the same day when you plan to file your license application**

Before you may proceed on filling-up a driver’s license application form, you’ll be required to get a

drug test

 & medical examination. Prepare at least Php 500 for this process, and make sure you deal only LTO accredited clinics. The whole process might take you about 20 minutes to 1 hour max.

The cost of the

drug test

 & medical examination may vary for each establishment.

It cost me a total of Php 300 for the drug test

, Php 100 for the medical examination.

If you don’t know where to get your drug test and medical examination, head to your nearest LTO Regional Office and you should find one near the area. Or just ask somebody…it won’t hurt to ask.

Side note: The drug test made me a little uncomfortable. It hasn’t occurred to me that I’ll be asked to pee on a little container, fill it up while the doors are opened, in plain view of the nurse. Well…you get the idea (Glad they let me turn my back on them while doing this thing!).

5. Have a Driver’s License Application Form Filled-Up Beforehand (Optional)

Would you like to expedite the process of getting your driver’s license? Great. Then fill-up a “Driver’s License Application Form” (click the link, then scroll to the bottom & find the “Driver’s License Application Form” to download the form).

Having a filled-up form before heading to your nearest LTO Regional Office will save you some time than filling-up on the LTO Regional office itself…and you get to study the form and be more accurate in filling-up the details.

How to Fill-Up the Non-Professional Driver’s License Application Form

Most of the details are self-explanatory, but for now, let’s focus on the things that seems complicated for some.

“Type of Application”

You only need to check “A” as this would be a new application.

“Type of License Applied For”

Make sure you check Non-Professional, or you’ll start messing up your form with erasures.

“Driving Skilled Acquired”

You can check one, or both of them if you’ve been taught thru a driving school and by a licensed private person. No big deal here.

“Restriction Codes”

Restriction codes tell about which kind of vehicles you may drive. So make sure you know which category your vehicle belongs to.

For Non-professional driver’s license, you may choose restriction code 1, 2, or 4 or both 1 and 2.them. In short, you’re only restricted to drive light vehicles like motorcycle, sedans, SUV’s, etc. (up to 4,500 kgs. only)

To make it simpler for you, just check restriction codes 1 and 2, and you’re good to go. Period.

If you need to drive a vehicle above 4500 kgs. (mini trucks, trailer trucks, bus, etc.), you’d need a professional driver’s license, and a lot of driving skills for these heavy vehicles  .

The LTO Driver’s License Application Process

With the

 drug test

 and medical exam results on hand, you’re now ready to begin the actual Non-Professional Driver’s License application process.

1st Step – Present your filled-up application form, drug test, and medical exam results to the initial LTO Evaluator.

The evaluator will make sure you have filled-up your application form right and validate your

drug test

 & medical exam results. You will then be provided to sign an oath to be a good and responsible driver (and I think we all should really be!). You’ll then be provided with a color-coded number. Just hold on to it.

2nd Step – Wait for your number to be called, and submit your documents to the corresponding person

3rd Step – Get ready for a photograph (say cheese!)

After submitting your documents, and some minutes waiting in line, a photographer will call you by your name, and you’d be asked to seat on the photo booth. Time to smile in front of the cam. If you know how to project your way on the cam, you’d be looking really well on your non-professional driver’s license. If not, you’ll be stucked with your wonky shot for a couple of years  .

4th Step – Pay for the application & computer fee at the Cashier

After the photo session (and I hope you look well on that shot), you’ll be called by the cashier. Pay for your the application fee and computer fee (P167.63, which is then rounded off to 168).

5th Step – Go on and take the written exam

Assuming that you reviewed well before the exam, this should take you less than 15 minutes.

If you really didn’t have the time to review before the exam, you may request for a reviewer inside the examination room before taking the exam.

6th Step – Take the Driving Test

Head on to the driving test examiner, and show them the skill you’ve got! A few, excellent laps on the track should be enough to show your skills. After that, pay for the driving test fees (I paid Php400 — I have no idea if that is the standard rate for driving tests). After passing the driving test, you’re finally ready to get your non-professional driver’s license!

7th Step – Bring all the documents back to the evaluator, and wait for your name to be called

8th Step – Pay the license fee & computer fee at the cashier

This is the last payment that you’ll need to pay. The combined license fee plus computer fee (Php 350 + Php 67.63) would cost you Php 418, which is your payment for the license card itself. Then sit for a while, while waiting for your license to be printed out.

9th Step – Claim your license, and off you go

Finally! Congratulations, my fellow driver. Just keep in mind that you should bring your driver’s license every time you drive…and bring along the official receipt too ALL THE TIME.

Final Thoughts

So, let’s see the total cost you may expect:

be no more drug test required for all driver’s applications & renewals. That’s more savings for you.

Hmm..not a bad investment at all for a privilege to drive your own vehicle. All in all, getting a driver’s license in the Philippines is fairly easy. Just put on a little patience for the whole process, a budget of Php1,500 to ensure you won’t run short, and a pledge to be a responsible driver.

I hope you found this post valuable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

My student license is expired. Can I renew it so I can apply for a non-pro license?

When your student license/permit has expired already, you only have one option left: Get a new student permit, because student permits are NON-RENEWABLE. After you acquired your new student permit, wait for it to mature for 30 days, then you can proceed with the steps outlined in this blog post.

Can I apply for a non-professional license even if I don’t know how to drive?

Thank you for your question. First of all, you should be kicked really hard by somebody so you’d come to your senses. What on earth is your purpose for getting a non-professional driver’s license in the first place, if you don’t even know how to drive!?

Secondly, it’s either you cause an accident on the road, get yourself killed, or be one of those stupid idiots who don’t know the road rules. There are so many morons out there already…PLEAAASEE, I beg you to refrain from joining them. You’d do the whole world a favor. :c

Learn how to drive, and learn the road rules. Passing the actual driving test should be pretty easy. And what’s more? That knowledge is something you’d make use of in your lifetime.

Does the examiner provide the vehicle I’ll be using for the drive test?

Yes. There should be a vehicle provided. If none, then check your examiner. He must have taken it home! lol. 

What are the qualifications before I can apply for a non-pro license?

For those who ask about their eligibility to apply for a non-pro license, these are the qualifications you ought to know…

Qualifications:

1. Must be at least seventeen (17) years old.

2. Must be physically and mentally fit to operate a motor vehicle.

3. Must not be a drug user or alcoholic.

4. Must be able to read and write in Filipino or English.

5. Must be clean, neat and presentable (wearing of sando, playing shorts and slippers during photo-taking and examinations will not be allowed).
