Red Ribbon At DFA

Hayyy..Im so tired,sleepy and wasted!But its was fun and a pleasurable one hehe.To have an idea what Im talking about,I went at the Manila City Hall again for the release of my certificate of employment and training and seminar certificate authentication,I left our house at around 7:30am and I arrived there at 10:20am due to heavy traffic!And after that I have to rush it to the Department of Foreign Affairs(DFA) before 11:00 am its like Im in the Amazing Race just to be there before the cut-off.

I arrived at the DFA at exactly 11am and along the way I was thinking of what alibi I might say to the guards to allow me to submit my documents even if its the cut-off time already.But thank God,Manong guard was in a good mood and allowed everyone until 11:10!I found a friend inside while waiting for our turn her name is Alice a mother of 3 and her husband got a mistress haha I cant believed that she told me info that much!But atleast it made my time worthwhile while waiting.

The whole DFA Red Ribbon authentication was fast,at first we filled up this blue form and prepared one valid ID, even though its a long line,before lunch we are done but ofcourse I have to go back again next week for its release,I paid 200 pesos including my NBI clearance authentication and they issued a receipt,well done!


We ate lunch after because were starving to death I could eat evrything that cross my path if I dont get any food in my mouth. And at 1:30pm I was on a bus going to Megamall to meet my date...my new friend with benefits...Randall hehe.I'll tell you about the details tomorrow I got to go and watch the telecast of Obama's inauguration ok? promise!

A Day at the Manila City Hall

Another working abroad requirement:Going to Manila City Hall.Authentication.I set the alarm at exactly 7am but to some reason my alarm clock never made a single noise to wake me up!Damn!So what happened instead of 7:00 am I accidentally woke up at around past 8:00 am haha good thing my dad made some noise outside.My sister accompanied me since she don't have anything to do today.

The weather still as cold as before we have to boil water just to survive bathing! Its like taking a bath in the morning is the greatest challenge of my life!haha its so freakin' cold! my balls are shrinking to death!Well,anyway,going back to my story,I have to go Manila City Hall for the authentication of my employment certificate and my seminars and trainings certificate before submitting it to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for another authentication this time with a red ribbon in it.I wonder why red ribbon?they could choose pink.. and call it "pink ribbon" haha so gay!

The old building was so fascinating outside,looks so old but magnificent,the lobby is nice and bright,it is our first time to get inside the city hall we only see it from outside before.But too bad after the lobby,the walls and the rooms needs renovation...We went straight at the 4th floor,where the fat lady put some notes and asked us to go to the 2nd floor room 226,I believe for notarizing my papers and there another lady attended to us put some seal and signed my documents and asked us to go back at the 4th floor where we've been first and asked me to pay 300 pesos!50 pesos per page,mind you ha,no receipt!haha


Back at the fat lady at the 4th floor,she typed on something attached it to my papers and voila!another 25pesos and of course no receipt again! Asked us again to go to the window outside, Its already 1:00 pm and the lady inside the window isn't opening yet lunch break was over and she could see people are waiting for her majestic return to her post(nagmamaganda) and still she managed to take some time to chat with her co-workers without being considerate to us since we haven't had our lunch yet!

If I'm not mistaken it is window 6,there we paid another 70 pesos for the authentication and this time thank God with an official receipt!All we could say was"Hayyy(*sigh)...Filipinos...Filipinos..."But hey,I still love my country maybe there's still a chance for us in the future..hmmm..maybe 100 years from now!LOL!haha

When she haven't been making any signs of returning to her post we went straight in front of her window to show her and make her start to attend to us,and we're making a face in front haha and finally she sat down and took off the "closed sign" but we could actually feel her irritability in speaking to us "I don't have a change to your money yet pay only at exact amount" haha and I said "I don't have the exact 70 pesos" we just smile knowing that we annoyed her haha! "haller its your damned job !"she's such a bad employee,drop the attitude lady!

We returned my documents inside room 401 at the fat lady but this time she passed us to this old guy instead and make some notes again and called my name and gave me a slip and told me to return on Tuesday for the release at 8:00am!yikes too early! hayyy this preparing of my documents is making me tired!So my schedule at Tuesday will be this : 8:00 am manila city hall,then I will submit it at DFA before 11:00am i just hope its not a "blockbuster line" when I get there LOL .

P.S
I wonder what is the result of my medical exam...I'm fit to work or not???haha.
