Yesterday, I took my Hyundai Getz and went to the Land Transportation Office branch along Sto. Domingo in Quezon City to renew my license. (It was my birthday. Happy birthday to me, wheee.)

I clocked in roughly 12:40pm. I left at approximately 3:45pm. That’s supposed to be faster? Please! *roll eyes*

Many of my friends said I should’ve gotten it done at the mall. Now that I think about it, I should have. It’s just frustrating that we can’t get the same level of service at all LTO branches. Plus, quite frankly, while the whole biometrics thing was cool, I dislike peeing with the door open. (Apparently a new policy.) The angle ensured the lady manning the computer might actually be able to see me peeing, and while my wedding ring is an effective deterrent to the exhibitionist in me, I really am not fond of using public toilets to do my business.

So there. I have three years to be bitter with the wasted three hours of my birthday life as well as this goshawful picture that makes me look so fat. Plus when I got back into my Hyundai Getz, sobrang init!

What are your license renewal or car registration stories?
