[JamesRachel 0]

I was woke up 3:30 am in the Morning but went to sleep again but the Information at hotel give me a wake up call at 4:00 am. So, I get up and start to take a ready myself when i was in the middle of ready myself My Husband called me and tell him to call me back again after i done.

4:25 done fixing myself called back my husband and told him this is the Time we waiting for after the long 9 months we waited after the cultured of my sputum and treatment to be done. After i talked him, called chowking for food delivery at my room. Few mins. delivery was came and I done take my early breakfast at 5:00 am. Going down the Hotel and pause a little while and pray that God Holy spirit sent me to enlighten me and guide me all what im going to do there inside the Embassy at the front of Pre-screnning and Consulate. ( And Meet a good consul and filipino pre-screnning too.)

Exactly 5:15 am i Arrive in Embassy since i just only walking down there. Waiting our time to be called I gain and meet some new acquintance friend there. Great to get rid off the Nervous I little felt but i remember that i offer to Him my day already and all what happened after the Interview. Has a little funny there, when the 7:00 applicants was called i going them too but i was think im not 7:00 applicant so i went back where i stand and waiting but im little hardheaded i walked back again but the man who hold a radio ask me what time my appointment so i said 7:30 am so he said just wait your time to be called. ( Just little bit excited and wanted to be done early, huh!) So, when the Seaferres andTourists applicant was called for 8:30 am i was worried huh, nervous and worried. ( Note: Just relax and wait.)

6:10 am Finally we called and Im the one who in the first going there (Excited). I do fall in line in Immigrant line but someone first in my line who had the appoinment time is 6:30 am doesn`t get easy to enter with his son and daugther. Guard ask him a ID any kind to represent really who he is but he doesn`t have any , so the guard ask of a man looks like a higher level of his Job if he can enter but this man ask that old man any id but this man insist that all represent him for being he was are all inside the usem. So, finally they allowed, hmmp it takes a 15 mins of checking them. And thanks to my Angel (Husband) who always remind me my Id to bring i easy to get inside the embassy and tell to go at Gate 2. Things scanning all are fine. Lady Guard checking my body and allowed me to go the first step to meet the filipina Pre-screnning and Consul. Even i was been in USEM in ( 4 ) times I still forget where i go enter I go to the seaferrers place and some of them was looking me. Maybe thinking what this girl where going....???

Then Lady started to collect and check but mine and our chair lines horizontally wasn`t checked so i was a little confuse so i ask the guard. I felt okay when guard told me she will back, smiled him and say thanks. Then has a Green Lady near me ( Hehehe, She wearing green shirt that is why i called her Green.) and told me why i didnt get my number so i stiid up to fall in line in to get a number when but i forget to 2x2 pic. so went to the chair i leave my bunch of evidence and get my picture there but i back where i next the line.
