Then I saw one 500 peso bill and one 20 peso bill that my son put in the window. She raised both her hands and made a scene inside.She was kinda hysterical.


The consul was an idiot for going crazy like that. I would think a 520 peso bribe wouldn't get you a visa so she made herself look like a fool. Some the embassy employee seem to only care about getting a paycheck. They should realize they are messing up some peoples', living in a foreign country and making a bad impression of the U.S. government as well.

The funny thing is the hiring process for foreign service officers is very strict due to the high number of applicants. Only about 2% of people who take the test actually get a job offer. Hard to believe she was in the top 2% of anything.



Yeah very embarassing for her. At that moment, between me and her, she was the liar. I should have made her go under oath.


i agree good.gif lol!

PhilippinesMy horrible interview story at USEM
how can a 3 year old kid that can't barely talk will bribe someone??? wow! what a complete idiot she is! if she will make up stories then she better make it realistic!!! mad.gif

Oh my! what a horrible experience you had BUT it proves that you are a strong woman Ria as you were able to handle a difficult situation like that good.gif

I'll admit that i was teary after reading your post caz i am happy that the chief approved your visa and i am pretty sure that he didn't believe with the story of the lunatic CO, as it is really impossible for a 3 year old kid to bribe someone.

YOU MADE IT! kicking.gif I am truly happy for you smile.gif



PS,

i saw your son and you have a cute lil kiddo biggrin.gif

Ang Pinakbet na may bagoong na isda ang original na pinakbet at kaya tinawag na pinakbet sa aming mga ilocano dahil hindi sya lutong luto,half cook kumbaga yay! hindi ko tuloy alam sa tagalog:)) pero pinkebbet kumbaga sa Ilocano!:)

Ang mixed veggies with shrimp paste ay lutong tagalog...


haaayy miss ko na yung utong (black eyed peas) with alukon tpos labong with saluyot okra sawsaw sa bagoong crying.gif


Nagulat naman ako sa sinabi mo na yan! laughing.gif headbonk.gif yun pala tagalog ng BEP hehe. Oo kakamiss nga din yung labong at saluyot. Mama ko kasi is from Pangasinan kaya she cooks labong, pinakbet and diningding very good hehe.

Me too. I can only eat hamburger, french fries, pizza, steak etc. once in a while. But to make it as my regular dish, maybe not. To each his own, live and let live. I will still prefer all those filipino foods no matter what my fiancee or other people say. I respect them when they eat their food and I eat those foods with them so I think it's just fair for them to respect our foods also. I can't tolerate meat like rare or medium rare and I always tell my husband he has to respect it. I want everything to be well done. I miss mangga't bagoong kahit anong sabihin nila na yakk or disgusting. Pinay ako forever.


I agree good.gif
I miss mangga't bagoong din. May bagoong ako dito ala naman green mangoes crying.gif hehe biggrin.gif

PhilippinesWedding Favors (Giveaways)
hi ate riza,

in our case, civil marriage lang kasi ang sa amin so simple wedding lang. yung souvenir namin is a pair of swan (made of glass) kissing with each other then may mga pink ribbons and designs. binili na namin yun ng ready made although masgusto ko rin ng gaya mo na personalized souvenir ang bigay namin kaya lang wala kami time kaya no choice.

in regards in your case na gusto mo siyang i-ship or dalhin sa US, ang iniisip ko lang ay baka kasi maquestion yan ng custom dahil sa dami ng volume na i-shiship mo. baka isipin nila ay gagawin mong business iyon at hanapan kapa ng business permit at kung ano ano pang papers. i think better ask mo muna if your allowed to ship that kind of volume before na bumili ka para hindi sayang.

yung husband ko and father-in-law ko kasi ay mahilig dn sa native crafts kaya paguuwi husband ko, isang maleta n puno ng native ang dala nya. nagask kami muna if allowed yun, ang sabi pwede naman daw kasi tig-iisa lng ang volume at for personal use lang. i really think u better ask na lang po kung type mo magdala ng ganun smile.gif

Best Wishes on your upcoming wedding! star_smile.gif

Philippines1st wedding anniv... forever ruined.. sad
Ay naku! hindi pwede sa akin yang bisibisita na wala namang importanteng rason (like baby). If I were you, mag-aalaga ako ng 3 doberman na ayaw ng amoy ng x ng asawa ko laughing.gif headbonk.gif joke lang! Seriously, nakakapagtaka naman kung bakit ganyan pa rin ang tratuhan nila sa isa't isa or bakit ganyan pa rin x ng asawa mo sa sawa mo. Hindi na dapat ganyan, I mean hindi naman sila na dapat nagspend pa ng ganyang klaseng time for each other.

You need to tell your husband na there should be space na between him and his x. Kung ang ginagawang rason ng x nya is yung aso nyo eh di paalaga mo sa kanya si frosty even a day or two sa bahay nila. Buti na lang at yung ex-wife ng asawa ko eh nasa ibang state nakatira at wala na silang komunikasyon ng asawa ko ever. Kailangan talagang maintindihan ng asawa mo ito. Ask mo cya kung ano gagawin nya if he is in your situation. Ask mo kung ano mararamdaman nya. Sana naman maintindihan ng asawa mo nararamdaman mo at sana rin ay matapos na tong problem mo. star_smile.gif
