Visa Update

... NO VISA is my update.

From speed shopping for 1 hour in GH in the afternoon (bought 6 pairs of shoes, 3 tops, 1 bolero and 5 colorful bras) to the Italian Embassy in Makati (with 2 hours of traffic) to Piandre wilson to get my hair waxed... it was a pretty depressing day.

*special thanks to Jiggy and Mae... my shopping alalay*

Italian Embassy.... haaaaaayyyy.....

So this is what happened:
  1. Dad went to the Italian Embassy to get the visas. Apparently, it's only Mom and Dad who got approved.
  2. Weirdness to the Nth LEVEL. Even the people at the embassy were surprised that it was only them who were approved. Friday pa daw.
  3. Mae and I went to the embassy to get our passports. Ang labo, it's not the first time that we travel to Europe. It's the Germans who don't like us...
  • Me: "Baka naman kasi maganda tayo"
  • Mae: "Baka naman kasi pangit tayo"
  • Yaya Lyn: (to the tune of So Long Farewell from the Sound of Music) " So long farewell, kami ay dinenaaaay sa Emba-ssy and now we must say goodbye... gooooodddbyeeee"
  1. So now we have an insight as to how the Shegen Visa works. You have to be cleared in all countries eventhough it's not in you're itinerary... hence, It's the Germans who don't like us. And Germany is not even in our itinerary.
  2. This freaky thing in multiply does not want to continue my numbered list.
  3. So Noel (closeness kami nung embassy guy) said that he simply cancelled the stamp (or kung ano man tawag dun) so that it will be considered as CANCELLED and NOT REJECTED.
Yun na yun.

General Reaction(s):
  • Mom and dad mo nlang magcruise. Sayang naman yung non-rebookable and non-refundable cruise. At least maminimize yung lost.
  • Cut losses and maximize. Leave the kids in New York and go ahead.
  • Oooopss pareho lang pala yun.
But...
I LOVE MOMMY AND DADDY SO MUCH.

Dad: "I won't exchange the money I will loose for your company."
Mom: "Others may call it stupid, but what can we do? The whole purpose is being together."

Ay shyet. Naluha ako dun ah.

Yeah, the Italian Consulate totally shafted me, too, when I was applying for the Schengen a couple of years ago. I probably lost some $300-400 just changing flight dates to account for their not approving my visa in time. Ange had to spend a couple of days alone in Paris pa.

Are you still going on the cruise?? Hahah, panalo si Yaya Lyn!
