My sad day...

How can it still be?


Only half a day has gone by...

First...Muning, our pregnant cat died today. Rest in peace Muning. You made us happy by giving us a family of cute cats. She had twins, a kitten that died when it came out, she had "Kuting" my favorite male cat outside, she another twins that suddenly disappeared (we all thought they died already), she had a female cat which is still under intesive care right now because she had injuries in her feet (now she is eating thank goodness) and lastly, she had (what we thought but we will never know for sure) her last twins. Still in her womb when she died this morning. I really got the feeling that she is too old. When I look at her, I see her strength gone, her eyes tells you that she has been through a lot and now, she is gone. It made my sister tearful. She loved her so much. We all did. I hope she is in cat heaven right now :)

So my mother applied US visa for us the three of us (me, my dad and my brother) and earlier was our interview. Funny stories later...lets get on with the verdict first. My father was given a visa. We don't know yet for how long (but my sister got 10 years) and me and my brother were...yes...D-E-N-I-E-D. The Consul did have good excuses for not granting us visa. From what I understand, I am still new to my career and I'm still not earning that much. I guess that was his reason in my own understanding. For my bro, I just wish he had not applied with us. I thought he magnified the "financial" reason of the consul. Why? because his job isn't really legitimate (setting up car audio fast and the furious style) because they are not registered with DTI (yeah its illegal but readers please keep quiet) and he was asked "so you are making a lot of money out of it" then came the nail in coffin...he answered "not much, sir"...LOL! Well based on my keen observation skills, I noticed the Consul's take on applying a visa with our father is that we are still very dependent with our father. Well, I thought the decision would be different if we applied alone. That's my take on it. It's done. Don't really have plans to go to the U.S. anyway (for now). China...here I come :D

Now to the funny stuff. So we were in the U.S. Embassy earlier right...and there were a lot of people and yeah there were first timers of course like us who were not warned by a new rule that I saw was just effective this last March 1 which was "No cellphones and other electronic devices allowed inside". I mean cellphones? almost every Filipino has his/her own cellphone and you are not going to allow it inside!? for what? well I understand the security risk but come on...cellphone!? and that's not the funny part yet! there are people outside who actually will hold your cellphone while you are inside the embassy. Yes, they are like the baggage counter in the malls. They will give you a number and they will hold your cellphone/s and/or other electronic devices for a fee of Php 150.oo and surprisingly enough...there are people who trust these people! FTW! hahaha my brother asked told me, if someone gave me their cellphone, I would have been gone the minute he/she turns around haha. It got me thinking, with a lot of newbie's actually bringing their cellphones, it can be a good source of income. Instead of a one time big time bust which can lead you to being a robber, you can actually have a daily income. Right? haha

Ohwell...those are the sad things that happened to me so far today...what else is there for me?

but me...sad? since when? :P
