check-in joy

Nais ko lamang isalaysay ang aking mga karanasan sa Emirates check-in counter sa NAIA terminal 1 bago lumipad patungo ng Uruguay.

Visa Bisa

FA: Sir gusto lang po namin malaman kung valid pa po yun visa nyo.

Me: Yup bago pa lang yan.
      Tapos 90days or 3months from the date of entry to the country ang validity.

FA: Ah ganun ba... Spanish kasi kaya di namin maintindihan.
      Tapos yun date dito March 18 at March 14 yun nakalagay, baka mamaya expired na pala visa nyo

Me: oo nga e. Hindi ko rin maintindihan kung  kung para saan yun 2 dates
      pero I doubt na expired yan since bago pa lang and 4x na ako pumunta dyan with 2 separate visas.
      You just need to take my word for it na lang siguro.

FA: Sige sir, hanap lang ako ng marunong magbasa ng Spanish.
      Wait nyo na lang po ako sa gilid.

(After 15 minutes...)

FA: Sir, I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

Me: /facepalm

hassle!!!!!

ok, my old pda phone (Eten M600) got busted while i was in SF. So I left it with Jason to have it repaired and then shipped here in Barbados. So it was sent viah DHL last week Wednesday and arrived in Barbados last week Friday and lo and behold! I'm still without the phone!

The custard people wanted me to pay a customs tax of Bb$465.00 because they thought it was a new phone. So I had to explain that it isn't but still up to now they haven't decided what to do with it. I've been bugging DHL to no avail. :(

Damn it! I really want to change my view about how a sucky place this is.. but... grrr... this is not helping!

Argh!

... i really have a lot of things to post in here but whenever I get to the create post window.. my mind suddenly go blank and stops functioning... dunno why though... baka baka baka manok baboy!
