2nd Week in PI...

A day after arriving from Batangas, we went early to DFA for hubby’s Passport Renewal. As expected, the place is pretty crowded and the line is long. We then decided to leave DFA and check POEA if they accept Passport Renewals and yes they do accept renewals. It took us roughly 2 hours to finish everything while it could only be done in an hour and a half. Why? Because hubby got confused with the lines and end up following the wrong queue so he have to fall in line again --- ghesssh. Anyways, it’s worth the wait, at least soon he’ll be holding his new passport.

The bum week, we simply spend the week visiting the malls to shop for some goodies. It is also the time we visited hubby’s siblings. His siblings are doing great except for some small glitches that they have to patch up. Well with the help of hubby he was able to sort it out just in time, though it requires a lot of consultation from his other siblings and weighing of pros and cons. Nevertheless, we’re so glad to see them having a stable and happy life in PI.

I visited a friend, honestly I visited only one. Calling the attention of Marriz, hope you’re reading this. I decided to visit her and see how she was while she’s pregnant. Actually I told her that I don’t want to see her for I will just be envy with her baby bumps. But since I wasn’t there to be part of her entourage on her lavish wedding last June 2008, i then decided to pay her a visit while she’s preggo. Hey girl, wishing you a safe pregnancy, next year I’ll see you with a baby in tow. Good luck I know you’ll be a good mom, cheers to you and terrence. To all my friends whom I failed to visit, I admit there’s a lot, Am really sorry, I’ll make it a point to see you next year and that’s a promise :-).

Went back to POEA to apply for SSS OFW contribution and at the same time to change our civil status, hubby paid a lump sum for Year 2008 for a whooping 20,000 pesosessssss! Gosh, never did I expect that it will be that much but no regrets at least we’ll be getting something when the time comes that we have to retire. On my end, I decided to start next year and will make sure that we’ll pay quarterly to avoid paying huge amounts.

More updates soon…
