Meeting with Mr. DFA

I was scheduled for personal appearance in DFA the other day and it was a disappointing yet interesting experience.

Thanks to some friends who were thoughtful enough to give me some tips and i was able to be there in one piece.

I was advised to bring 3 more pictures because the initial pictures i submitted were rejected. The representative said, it was blurry. So i decided to just have my picture taken right there. Thinking that since it's in DFA, it would be perfect. But i was wrong. I kinda felt that it was a scam that the 2nd set of pictures I'm supposed to submit were rejected again by the "guy-in-blue-vest-mr.-know-it-all" and he said that those pictures where yellowish and would not pass Mr. DFA's requirement. Of course I had to have my picture taken again so I can enter Mr. DFA's kingdom.

Then i entered his building. I passed two security checks where they checked on my things unlike the usual mall check ups where they just put the stick inside your bag as if it has a censor and just alarm if they found something different.

I was like a special guest where i have an escort. We were walking at my pace. No need to be in a hurry. I was not under pressure or what not. Then the guy escorted me to a section of Mr. DFA'S building exclusively for us. A girl talked me, informing me of what's going to happen. She gave me something to read, a feedback form and some candies. Then someone called my name and asked me to go to Mr. DFA. I was asked to show off my ID pictures and sign the documents, and viola! I'm done. It took me probably 15 minutes to finish everything inside his office and they will just send me the passport. Then I'm done.

Well, it was an outstanding customer service and hats off to Pilipinas Teleserv for doing a great job. My experience then could have been perfect without my awful experience on the id picture.

Hindi ako iiyak. Hindi rin ako mag-kekwento sayo kung gaano akong nasaktan nung iniwan ako ng walang-hiyang **** na yun! Hahaha. Gusto ko lang i-share na wala na ang dating "Jetjet's Life's Little Instructions Blog". Para maiba naman, eto na ang bago kong pangatlong tahanan (una kasi syempre bahay namin, ------ EMOTERA. Interesting. Para sakin, hindi ma-drama or malungkot ang ibig sabihin ng salitang ito. Ang blog na ito ang magsisilbing salamin ng aking kalooban. Madalas mo akong makitang seryoso, mataray, intimidating or maaring masaya, makulit at maingay, at dito mo maririnig ang mga tinig na hindi ko nababanggit. Dito mo masisilayan ang sinasabi ng aking mga mata at dito mo matutunghayan ang mga kahindik-hindik at kagila-gilalas na pakikipag-sapalaran ni Jethsel Allego. :) Here you can listen to my heart and feel my breathe. Naks. Nakakatuwa lang, inspired ulit akong magsulat. Feel ko ulit sumulat ng kung anu-ano, madaming-madami. Sana basahin mo. Very nice. I in...

PRAYER

I find this picture so interesting. This was taken at the plane when Eman and PJ are on their way to Cebu. This has melted my heart and gave me a realization that with all the things going on right now, we just always need to pause - and pray. Let me share with you one scripture that i have read today from Jon Orana of www.topbibleverses.com and helped me understand a lot of things. Psalm 17:5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. Burt had worked in high-rise construction all his life. Everyday he would walk the girders high above the ground with apparent ease. In his lifetime he had seen a number of men plunge from the girders due to a mere moment of carelessness. As for himself, he knew he had been lucky. Each morning he began work only after saying a short prayer, asking the Lord to watch his movements through the day, keeping him safe from any mishap. Though most of us never do anything as dangerous or risky as high-rise construction, we do stand in d...
