March 4th, 2010DFA Manila Expercience
Note: If you don’t want to read non sense post, please feel free to leave and please bear with me if you find my bad grammar english lol!
Last Wednesday, I woke up at 3:00am in the morning to get ready for our trip in DFA Manila. Actually I woke up too early than I need too. But it’s better early than late right?
I got up and went straight to bathroom and took a shower. Afterwards, I organized my stuff, baby things, mine and I also bring biscuit for my girl in case she’ll get hungry in our way. In half of our way, the driver stopped by in a gas station and we bought food for breakfast. I was hungry though, too hungry. I tried to feed my belly while driving but I couldn’t. I just couldn’t eat while were driving. I feel sick and dizzy when I try to look down. We reached manila after two hours, but our driver need to drop our passenger mate in st. Lukes and Airport. So 7:30am or 8:00am when we reached DFA Manila. The driver drive around DFA Manila to look parking lot but we couldn’t find one. So there, driver asked me to got out and go inside of DFA while them looking parking lot and wait me in the outside. It was my first time there, and never been ever. I asked someone where to go – I am with MR. asked lol! I went to gate, and the security didn’t let me to come inside because I am wearing short. What the fuck? What the hell I am doing? I forgot they won’t letting people wearing short in that kind of places! This is not my first time, it was my second time!! Geez!!
I went back to the van, and asked someone where to buy pants. The driver dropped us in (hmmp! I forgot the name) I don’t know if liverb or liverty? Argh! Please bear with me, it was my first time to see that places and I am not focus where I am going, I am focus where I can buy pants before the DFA will close!! So anyway I didn’t find good store, just ukay ukay (second hands clothes!) I was in hurry, so I didn’t take time to choose good pants. You know what the worse thing? I bought broken pants!!! Yes, I told you I was in hurry – I bought old pants and broken pants and wear it even it’s doesn’t comportable. Too expensive pants though, even it’s broken and old. Can you imagine paying old and broken pants for 250 pesos? I won’t buy that if I am not in hurry but I have no choices but to buy it. I am wearing the pants all day, it doesn’t fit on me and it doesn’t comportable. I don’t know if does look good or not. I don’t care, all I care is I get file the papers and goes home.
After we bought pants, we get lost!!! Yes!!! we lost in DFA. We walked back and forth and back. We are looking for the front DFA, but we went to the back DFA which for applying passfort. We asked someone, and told us we should walked around the DFA. It was a hot day, I don’t know what degrees it is, but it is really hot. We walked a long walked, back and forth with my girl. I was carrying my girl in a hot day! I am glad she didn’t cry at all or complain to me but she’s looking at me with a killer eyes. I talked to her and asked her how she doing, but she’s doesn’t response. I stopped by in the store and bought some drinks – ice tea and give it to her. She was so thirsty, she’s drinking the whole time.
Anyway we walked back to front gate of DFA and I am glad they allowed me to go inside this time. But my mom and my girl didn’t let them to go inside which is I need to go alone in the inside of DFA and asked someone where to go! I told you, it was my first time in DFA Manila. So there, I asked the guard – I come inside, and went to front of lobby and asked the woman and they asked me an ID and I’ll sign some paper who’s I’m visiting too. They gave me a number and asked me to go to a Basement where the consular office is!
I reached the basement in 2 or 3minutes then guard asked me a question and asked me to sign a paper. I sign the paper and they gave me another number which I really need inside. My number is 64, I waited there for an hour and finally they call me up!!
The woman asked me, what it is mom? then I answered her that I am reg our married here in Phillipines and gave her the papers. She look at it one by one then says, “mom, you need to remember that we have different requirements here” and she shows me the some of their requirements. And also “you both have different name on Married form and negative form” I suddenly asked her, “so I couldn’t get them file?” then she said; “NO mom, you need to completed your requirements before you can file this paper!”. And I said; “Oh okay” then leave without asking her Married form papers lol!

You’re really not allowed to wear shorts in places like that. Before you went there, you should have called them up to ask what the requirements are.
Nakakatawa basahin to.
)) And LOL at the broken pants. Sayang pera.
