No Fly-Fly For Now

Hmmm,I'm a little worried, I didn't thought it would be this troublesome.I mean they told me it won't be a problem or it will be easy to fix or it wont take a month at all...I'm talking about my working visa. My visa was issued April 29, 2009 and when my agency showed it to me I instantly noticed the wrong spelling of my surname, they told me the HR was already informed about it:

Callister --- Callisetr
This is just an example

That's what kind of error I'm talking about.(wrong spelling of my surname on my visa) My dad told me that its a common mistake from middle east employers.Its about three weeks now, so I'm afraid I wont be able to fly to Qatar before May ends. Sad. To think I'm all set, I already have a pink scarf and maleta na may gulong gulong bah LOL!!! When I call my agency they all say is wait, it will come. I mean WTF? I waited for that visa for three months and now that it finally came, they spelled my surname the wrong way! Waaa!I'm having a bad luck! I don't know how long will it take to correct it.

I did some questioning and one said it will be in a month, one said it will take at least 3 months!(I don't want to listen to him LOL), another one told me that a waiver will be enough since its just an entry visa and once I'm there they will issue a working permit and that's all that important together with my passport.

Hayyy, right now I'm still waiting for a call from my agency.I emailed earlier the HR of my employer at Qatar and did an inquiry about the status of my working visa,I hope they wont find my email a little bothering haha. FYI: I didn't pay a single cent on all of this, no placement fee, all expense paid including the POEA stuffs, just the medical exam.

If you experience the same thing,or any wrong spelling on your visa or info, please give me some advice and some stuff to keep me at peace LOL!

P.S
Special shout out to my YM friends and avid readers of my blog from that side of the planet: A.S of Dubai, A.G of Libya, B.S of Al Ahsa (cute mo LOL). You all know who your are hehe. I'm glad my blog reached you guys there!

Happy and Sad

Finally I have it!

Not the swine flu, but my visa!

I'm still in bed when I received a call at lunchtime yesterday saying "hello,Mr.-------, your visa is here...you need to report at our office asap" and I was like whoa!am i dreaming or what?!

Then I rushed out to the living room and told my mom about it,she's thankful!my sister was like "yehey!now you could get me braces on my teeth!"! ambisyosa LOL!

When the excitement subsided,I felt a little sad and nervous!It means I'm going to fly-fly and be away to everybody for a long time.But I know this is something I really want. Money,savings, buy a house, buy some stuffs...buy a boyfriend LOL!

I went at my agency at Makati today and saw my visa and have some more instructions from the staff, what I really didn't like about it was "your medical exam is already expired, you need to have a new one.It only has two months validity".

And I was like" siyete naman!!!" haha.I don't wanna do it again!damn! I will tell you why i hated the pre-employment medical exam:
  • I hated the scooping of my crap when I dropped it on the bowl and put it on a cup!!!its so yucky!!!!
  • I hated the long line and waiting and going there early in the morning with nothing on your stomach due to fasting!
  • the psychological exam which include answering those abstract thing!it gives me headaches!
  • And my most hated...the bending back while spreading my ass for the doctor to see my asshole while on physical exam naked!LOL!!!! Taena talaga!
I have to do all of that again tomorrow, its my worst nightmare! God help me survive all of that tomorrow!huhuhu!

They told me too that I could leave the country before the end of the month.Wow this is so in time with my birthday hehe a b-day gift which is on the 20th by the way!so send in your gifts guys!hahaha.

My mom will be leaving on the 16th of May though huhu...so sad she wont be here on my b-day.
