Thank you my VJ friends for all the good luck wishes. Touched naman ako sa inyong lahat. Thank you, Mae, for starting a thread to wish me luck. Dyahe tuloy ako (charing!).

My fiance just called and I asked him if he's nervous like me and he said no :blink: Grabe, hindi man lang nakisama sa nerbiyos ko :P

I will update you about the result of my interview as soon as I can. Keeping my fingers crossed. Padasal naman please.

Thanks again dear friends!

Cora

You deserve it Ate Cora, for being such a sweet and wonderful person to everybody here in Manila Thread. :luv: Your unique way of making us smile is what we will always remember about you. We're all excited to hear the magic words: "I GOT APPROVED!" :dance: I guess your fiancee is not nervous because he's very much confident that you'll make it with flying colors, this time around. :D But you know what, I'm sure he's nervous inside... men are good in keeping it, ya know.

Good luck and God bless you!

Mae

Fely did not get to have her CFO seminar today (Friday) as planned. Apparently Wednesday night she saw on the news that the Victory bus from Zambales to Manila had been held up, and the riders lost their jewelry, money, and cell phones. That incident shook her up a bit, so she didn't get on the bus Thursday night. Instead she'll be going to Manila on Sunday, and probably have her seminar on Monday.

That news will surely scare the life out of me too :wacko: Hey, I will be taking the seminar on Monday at PRISM... 10:30am session. I know this is a newbie question but do I have to call them and make some kind of reservation or it's ok to just show up and tell them that I'm there for the CFO seminar?

If PW is not approved today :devil: , I might be forced to fly to the Phil and run naked around the USE in protest. I can see the news headlines reading, "Black man runs naked around the USE in protest of injustice!" :blush::P:no::lol:

:crying: :crying: :crying: WAAAHHHHH!!! HUHUHU!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: Sheriff, you’d better get a seat on the next plane to Manila because you’re gonna run naked in front of the USE.

Just giving you a scare guys. Consul said “everything looks fine” so I guess I’m APPROVED! WOOHOOO! Thank you all for your prayers and support.

My son and I arrived at the embassy at 7:15 am for the 7:30 interview. By the time I was interviewed by the consul, it was already 2:00 pm! So many people inside. We stepped out of embassy grounds at exactly 3:00 pm, arrived home at 4:45 pm. Reporting for duty now hehe.

My Filipino pre-screener was super duper friendly. Feeling ko nag-bonding kami (charing!). We made chika-ola for 30 minutes. ~ imagine, my pre-screening took all of 30 minutes! Tagal no? Sabi ko na nga ba, the embassy missed me kaya they wanted me back hehe.

On a serious note, please bring the pink receipt that BPI issues during your interview. The bank validation of my DS-157 lacked a “checkwriter” stamp and it caused me some delay. Good thing I brought my pink receipt so they just stapled it at the back of my DS-157. Please remind BPI to stamp the “checkwriter”.

Will update more later guys. I need to wake up my hotDoug (my fiance's name is Douglas and I call him hotDoug behind his back hihi)

a very happy PW :dance:
