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.
Optometrist: “Takpan mo kaliwang mata”.
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”.
Naalala ko po nung nag renew ako ng passport. Pagkakita ko ng picture gusto ko walain agad ung passport at mag apply ulit ng bago hahahahahahha!!!
Hi Brazo de Mercedes,
Same here. Ayaw ko na yung passport ko kasi super pangit yung picture ko.
