Thanks everyone! I arrived before 3 pm and I was done in 40 mins. It would have been faster kung hindi nag down system

I really hope mag tagal pa ang tsikot, for my past renewals, it was a breeze kasi I follow the advise here kung saan mabilis hehe

BTW Renewal ko 2024 (link), 2019 (Tiende) , 2016 (Guadalupe), 2013 (Tiende). I don't recall na where in 2010 (no smart phone calendar yet) pero I suppose Pililia pa

May Sucat din pala. I go where it's faster and less crowded (as long as I am familiar or close to the branch)

Yes. Funny pa because I was asked if I wanted to change my photo. I said yes because I looked fugly in my old photo. I was quite happy with my new photo but when they printed it black and white na malabo pa. At least it's 10 yrs na. I'll be in my 50s when I renew again OMG!

I turned out really dark in the photo (considering I have really light skin) Paano pa kaya those with brown or dark skin? I can walk na, arcoxia is a miracle pain killer. After 6 hrs or so of taking it, the pain was gone na. But I still 2 more because I was traumatized with the pain. I am not taking meds anymore pero I still have 2/10 pain on my knee. I can't bend my knee pa (indian sit) for when I cut my toe nails
