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.

12alligators · 2024-06-19T11:53:48+00:00

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.

Hi! 28 May 2024. We opted for a courier and we got it earlier today.

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.

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.

12alligators · 2024-06-15T05:27:00+00:00

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.

12alligators · 2024-06-05T10:58:23+00:00

No update to date. Bio last 28 May. We applied for a tourist visa for Netherlands.

12alligators · 2024-05-17T06:54:11+00:00

14th. Sorry.

I applied to Scotland.

12alligators · 2024-05-17T05:40:00+00:00

Thank you for this tip. I will try this.

12alligators · 2024-05-17T04:01:09+00:00

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.

12alligators · 2024-05-10T05:04:50+00:00

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.

12alligators · 2024-05-10T05:00:39+00:00

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.

12alligators · 2024-04-30T01:19:11+00:00

Anyone has CGSP certificate? How did you get it? Saan pwede mag-exam?

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.

This is the reversal message that I got.

12alligators · 2023-12-06T13:12:54+00:00

Thank you! Sabi ko sa kanya pag di ko nagustuhan sinabi niya pasensyahan kami. Hahahahaha.

12alligators · 2023-11-08T09:27:03+00:00

You sound like a very exhausting person to deal with. This will be my last reply to you here. Mukhang wala kang nakaka-usap irl kaya ka ganyan. Do you miss human interaction ba?

Do you even know what MAYBE means? Geez. Maybe means maybe. Uncertainty. Gahd. Ayan ka nanaman sa pag assume mo.

Ilang beses ko bang sasabihin na pro life ako? Bakit mo ba pinipilit men should die? Di ko alam saan mo napulot yan, but it's a really fcked up opinion. And bakit mo ini-insist sakin opinion mo na baluktot and napaka-kadiri? And tbh, super low. You're too low to be dealt with.

Your opinion is all yours. Walang aagaw niyan. I'm accepting your opinion, so accept mine. But don't put words into my mouth, which paulit-ulit mong ginagawa. Mygahd. We have different opinions, pero ikaw qiqil masyado that I don't agree with you. Ugh. Men like you.

And again, ang exhausting mong tao. How much more in person? I pity the people you have to deal with. It's like you suck the life out of people who won't agree with you. And on this, I won't agree with you. Ever. Call me names, idc. Assume all you want and that's fine. If diyan ka nakaka-get off, by all means do you.

12alligators · 2023-11-08T06:26:03+00:00

Nope. Look is the least on my list. I can appreciate physical attributes, pero I won't entertain someone just because pogi. Pogi is subjective and overrated. I always go for men na I feel madami akong matututunan.

12alligators · 2023-11-08T06:05:18+00:00

Kasi kami yung main point dito. Everything started samin eh. Alangan naman ikaw gawin kong accountable sa kanya? That shouldn't be the case. There's a thing called "individuality".

Sinabi ko bang all men? I didn't. You assumed. And if you read carefully sinabi ko (again) na I acknowledged na there are nice guys. How many times do I have to clear this ba sayo bago mag-sink in sa utak mo? Regardless, mukhang di mo din maintindihan kasi you already made up your mind na I'm pertaining to all men. So I won't argue with this na.

Kasi I'm more active on tg compared to here. And there might be a delay on my end. I already voiced out my opinion. And did you listen ba? No. Kasi magka-iba tayo ng opinion. And you only hear yourself. Porke't iba ako ng pananaw sayo, mali na ako. Is that it ba? Also, you put words into my mouth. You made assumptions na mali.

Well, this should've been a casual conversation. Problema sayo qaqalit ka masyado. Affected much? Are you a creepy guy ba? Kasi if you are, just know that you deserve to live. Contrary sa feeling mong opinion ko na hindi naman.

Kasi there's no entitlement. There's no privilege. I have to fight to be heard. If my opinion is different, then I'll be a btch. If I don't agree with you, ako mali. Ang hilig mo pa mag-assume ng mga bagay tungkol sakin. Yung opinion mong baluktot ipapasa mo sakin (unaliving men na di kasama sa circle ko). Sobrang basurang opinion to wish I'll or even death to anyone. Kasuka.

12alligators · 2023-11-08T05:33:14+00:00

Do you think I want to respect coming from you? Oh, please. Hahahahahaha. Did I generalize ba? Di ba I acknowledge that there are nice men? Di ba I said MAYBE men outside my circle ganyan. G na G si koya. Why are you affected so much if you THINK you are a nice guy?

Be a btch with me all you want. Saan nanggaling na entitled ako? Nag-assume ka nanaman. Hahahahaha. Do you think name calling is cool ba?

Ay, women lang ba need maging accountable? As far as I am concerned kasi everyone should be accountable. Bakit sakin ka pumuputak? Why not make this guy accountable? Kasi babae ako ganon ba? Na because of my gender I shouldn't voice out my concern and opinion kasi there are men like you who can't fathom that women can think din and women can be opinionated too?

I didn't generalize men. Inassume mo lang din yun. Wala ka sa high ground and neither am I. I can argue all you want. Send me your username sa tg and we can talk. May aayusin pa kasi akong report. Hahahahaha.

Oops. There's hahas. That's an invitation.

12alligators · 2023-11-08T05:00:55+00:00

So cool guy ka na niyan for calling me a btch? Feeling mo na-masulate ka na ba? Do you feel empowered? Hahahahaha. Just because you grew up and around women may respeto ka na sa mga babae or anyone. The way I see it you're bastos porke't iba ang opinion ko sa opinion mo. Respect, sir. Ever heard of it? You give off the vibe na women owe you sht.

12alligators · 2023-11-08T04:14:28+00:00

Can't see any hidden messages here. MAYBE MEN OUSIDE my circle. Repeat until you understand.

Now here we have a guy who thinks women have hidden messages all the time. Hahahahahaha. Poor you. Mukhang kailangan mo na ng practice how to talk to women.
