I renewed my drivers license

October 22, 2018

Although I don’t drive when in Manila I still need a drivers license when entering office buildings. “Mam, ID nyo?”

After months of planning, I finally got the time and energy to go to Robinsons Galleria for the renewal. My husband was right, it was fast and easy.

I could not even fill out the application form correctly. Sulat kasi ng sulat hindi nagbabasang mabuti.

One of the things I didn’t like was their paging system. When it was my turn, even if I was right in front of the counter, they still used the speaker to call my name. Kilala na tuloy ako ng mga isang dosenang tao na nag-aapply din . Dagdag na yung mga dumadaan lang sa hallway. Dapat mahina lang sana “annie tan yee” hindi ANNIE TAN YEE!

Aside from this, I also paid tila P350 for medical check up. They checked my BP 130/80 daw eh I forgot to take my maintenance that morning. The nurse reminded me not to forget to take it regularly.
Miss—-“Mam, ano’ng timbang nyo?”
A——-“Yan na nga ang problema ko, 130 lbs na!”
They all laughed.

They also checked my eyes and made me read the board. I was worried I would flunk that test.
He gave me a black colored plastic that looked like a table spoon.
Optometrist: “Takpan mo kaliwang mata”.
I covered my left eye but I could not see the letters correctly. I removed it and pretended stupid, that I didn’t know what he was asking me to do, while I looked at the letters.

I covered my left eye and read the tiny letters.
I passed!

I didn’t notice the waiting time because I was eating lanzones.

When the lady in charge of the printing showed me my photo my God para akong binuhusan ng mainit na gulaman. Ang pangit-pangit naman nung picture ko. I could see every tiny line on my aging face. So depressing.
A—–“Miss marunong ka bang magphoto shop?”
She didn’t answer. She probably thought I was joking.
A—–“Miss, meron bang program yang computer mo, para ma-photoshop?’

Neither she nor the computer could do photoshoppe.

Miss—-“Mam, black and white lang naman, hindi halata”.
A——-“Sige na nga”.
