Arriving Manila
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
I took Emirates airlines trip from nice-dubai-manila.Sure this time I have a return ticket back, hehe.
I arrived Manila Monday 430pm and the next day Tuesday, despite still in jetlag i went to DFA to process my change of passport. I was held up the whole day there, whew!Meanwhile Lorraine requested more copies of my BC/MC.
I can understand Michel was annoyed he cant chat with me.
I have calls in my celphone, I have yahoo messages to respond, I have calls in the house phones asking: Did she arrive?.
Why I visit Manila on the rush?
I need documents for my french citizenship that I cannot process in France!
1.My passport will be expired in 6months, if i do it in France, cost me a lot to go to Paris, take a plane, stay in hotel etc etc.
2. My NBI copy was lost in registered postal mail since August 2008 When I wrote to the Phil Embassy,no answer for a week. Last week they said they can do it,just after my plane ticket to Manila was confirmed and paid. GRRR.
3. BC /MC and NBI to be authenticated by dfa and malacanang, and translated to french language.Will cost me 6 days...and rain , traffic, time to beat...
4.Have my dental check here in Manila. Too expensive in France to do it.Got a tooth broken.
5.Visit a derma, and a spa sana, but with broken arm, skip the spa...
6.Go to the emirates office, malabo ang departure time ko, Nov 24 00:20 daw. Do I have to be at the airport night of 23rd Nov?
7.Pay my travel tax in advance.Mahirap na maiwanan...
8.Anjo is coming on the 17th. Got to accompany him to travel tax office and dfa too.
Other things to do:if may maawa to see me:
See bloggers. Got to inform Marie and Girlie...
See Atty Pulido...
See some relatives...
See some friends...
Go to Tutuban with Lorraine...
And a relative of a filipina in Monaco was inviting me to visit her mansion in Isabela.Reminds me to have a 'press conference' as well with the residents there...The igorots.
Joke lang.
Basta, this week will be all papers week.
Next week will be 'me time' week with friends who wish to see me.
Kung me maawa to see me,
My celphone: 0919 55 33 290 / 0929 89 88 169
Meanwhile, its nice to be 'home' while having a feast with sinigang fresh bangus,grilled tilapia, with bagoong spicy sauce and buko salad.
Oist, if in Manila, text me, we meet!!!!
joke before i close the pc;
I took MRT to DFA. At Cubao, after 5 trips pssing by, I cant get in. The MRT WAS ALWAYS FULL!!!!
At 6th train, the door opened, i pushed my self hard to get in, act as if having nausea and fall down to all passengers. That made them move deeper inside to give me space....thats how we, all 15 passengers able to get in.
Cabaret... hehehe.

Hi Francesca,
What is the procedure to authenticate the BC by the DFA and Malacanang and then where did you get your BC translated? Can you just have it translated by an official translator here in France? Ang gulo kasi ng embassy, before they told me na NSO authenticated pwede na tas today I called again iba yung sumagot sabi kailangan pati DFA daw ang taray nga ng sumagot eh kakagulat...eh i need it for Social Securitie. I read in other forums na minsan kahit ikaw lang daw magtranslate pwede na as long as accurate talaga and notarized? Ang gulo. Help mo naman ako. If you can, kindly email me at timi.sace@gmail.com
Thanks ng madami...
