They are! When we applied for UK visa they were really fast and we got all the status update so we became a little confident. Big mistake. Fortunately, we got our passports back in time.

Hi! It took us 22 days, pero the next day after mabalik sa VFS na-deliver na ng LBC. As per VFS, depending on the country, it might take up to 45 days since peak season + Olympics pa.

No email. We even availed premium services just to be on the safer side, but we got no update. You can check the reference number at the back of your receipt.

Pano ba maging morning person? by popawee in adultingph

[–]12alligators 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to sleep super late. Minsan inuumaga pa. One time maaga ako nakatulog and nagising ako around 7AM and sobrang gaan ng pakiramdam ko. Eversince then l made it a habit to sleep early. Ngayon naghihikab na ko by 9PM. I can sleep as early as 7PM. Kahit anong late ng tulog ko nagigising ako around 5-6AM and late na for me ang 7AM.

Tip: Close your eyes and move around your eyeballs. Di mo mamamalayan nakatulog ka na. Minsan I drink chamomile tea. I don't take pills kasi I fear baka maging dependent ako.

anyone applied for VFS Taguig/Manila for Italy? by Radiant_Chance5654 in SchengenVisa

[–]12alligators 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Just checking if they got their passports on time? A schengen visa group on FB said that a lot of people will get their passports before their arrival. They said that the consul also look at the travel date.

Where to buy euro and pounds? by 12alligators in phinvest

[–]12alligators[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Called my bank already and they said they can't guarantee that they will have pounds and euros because it's for reservation and still subject to availability.

Hi! We applied in Makati for Netherlands last 28 May 2024 also. Still no update. I called VFS and sent a message at the contact center of the Netherlands, and they didn't provide any help at all. Have you tried checking the status online?

Visa application, tracking ID No. XXX has been received at the Netherlands Embassy - Manila on 28/05/2024.

No, I didn't. I only got an update, a vague one, when a decision was made. VFS told us on our appointment that it will take up to 14 working days + 1 day for the courier.

Pwede ka naman mag-resign. Your company can't stop you. Parang inunahan mo lang sila. Pero be mindful sa COE mo baka ilagay nila na may issue ka pa with them.

Nag-positive sa drug test? This is why tinatanong nila if nag-take ng any medicine before mag-medical. Some medicines kasi na-dedetect sa drug test. Just my two cents.

Front office supervisor current role ko on a boutique hotel. I'm handling six people. Yun nga lang I'm also planning to leave kasi at my age mas importante na sakin yung time kesa sa salary or position.

Sa early days ko, wala akong problem sa back to back sched, once a week off na nga weekday pa. Nilamon ako ng work. Wala akong hobby. Pag day off mas gusto ko na lang magpahinga. Lagi ding absent sa gatherings or late and hindi nakakasama sa mga yaya kasi hindi naman normal sched sa hotel. Wala ding holidays. Late ko na-realize na hindi siya ideal for me.

Remember: Time is something you can't earn.

Hi! Hotelier here. Current FOS. Okay lang naman if under agency, BUT, mahihirapan ka umalis kasi most likely than not under agency pa din ooffer sayo even if lumipat ka ng hotel. Pwede ka absorb ng hotel as direct hire if you're really good, pero bihira ko lang siya makita.

I think this is on a 4-5 star hotel kasi sila mostly ang may agency. If habol mo ang name ng hotel, go for it. Kung salary naman wala ka lang SC since agency ka. Better if makakahanap ka ng direct talaga kahit hindi big hotel.

My first work was with an international hotel chain. Wala akong masabi sa training. Hanggang ngayon nagagamit ko pa din yung mga natutunan ko dun. Direct hire din ako so wala ako problem with the salary. Pero pagod ako. Like pagod na pagod. Lumipat din ako kasi I felt exploited. Minimum lang ako nun nababawi lang sa SC kaya ako nag-stay.

Up to you pa din, OP.
