Mich’s Journeys

Finally got to blog again. Been busy lately with a lot of stuff. One thing crossed off on my to-do list is Ethan’s & Fritz’s passports, we will be getting it tomorrow. I’ve been bugging Ichi to have E’s picture taken for his passport for a couple of months now but it wasn’t until we accepted the singapore job that we had to rush E’s passport. This is his passport picture, isn’t he so adorable? [Side note: a lot of people that have seen this pic commented that he doesn’t look like he’s just 9 months old kasi raw kung tumingin akala mo older na.] With Fritz’s passport we had to renew it (despite it not being expired) because a few years back I accidentally broke the laminate when I was slipping the passport out of its plastic holder (the ones the travel agencies give you) and as we did not want to have problems regarding the broken laminate we decided to have it renewed. Prior to this I’ve been hearing a lot of stories about how the laminate easily breaks, this is nothing new to the travel agencies, they’ll tell you a lot of people experience this kaya better daw not to put your passport in any kind of holder. Well, lesson learned na for me.Also, grabe how long it takes these days to have your passport renewed thru travel agencies. Ours took 8-10 days to think expedite na yan if regular processing it’ll take a month daw. My FIL (father-in-law) recently renewed his passport to and it just took 2 days (also rush) to get his from the DFA. Oh yeah, he paid only P750 while I’m going to be paying P1,200 . You just have to endure the long line, my MIL (mother-in-law) who accompanied FIL to the DFA said she waited outside for an hour, she wasn’t allowed in because only the applicant is allowed to go inside.
