Last week, I submitted all the documents that I have got with me to the Australian Embassy. It's been an agonising wait indeed and it has been the majority of my thoughts for the past couple of days since I submitted it. I read online somewhere that it can take up as quickly as 3 (working days) to a month which scares me since I am going to Cambodia on the 23rd and the idea of not having my passport as early as next week is making me anxious. Also, when I read "3 working days", I got more nervous because Friday was the 4th working day the embassy had my application (I reckon 1 May is not counted as a working day since I figured, the embassy is following Australian holidays) and I haven't heard from them since. I check my Gmail account every day since that's the email address that I gave them and ticked that option that they can communicate with me that way. All this time I thought I submitted my application on Tuesday, only to realise that it was Tuesday (MNL time) that I made the call for them to pick up my documents at San Roque and they sent the courier (via Air 21) on the Wednesday (MNL time) so technically, they only have got my documents since Thursday. That was quite a relief in a sense. A little bit of rationalising on my part as well thinking that's how it went. But nevertheless, I just really hope the documents got to them in good condition. Now here are the reasons why I think I should be given a visa: a) I have a job b) I have a US visa (not that it's required but I'm hoping it's a plus) c) I am a traveller - as you can see on the stamps on my passport Here are the reasons why I think they would not grant me a visa: a) I answered certain questions there as if I was answering a slum book. b) They might think that my bank account balance was too low. c) The application form did say to write in BLOCK letters. There were questions where I forgot that part and answered in proper case letters. Stupid me. At any rate, I'm still nervy. I really want to go to Australia. |

Sometimes I don't think he knows how immature he's acting. Just because he doesn't want to spend time with his family doesn't mean that I share the same sentiment with him. Besides, getting to that place was such a major bloody chore that for him to dispense it as something trivial is a little insulting, really. Do I miss him? Sometimes, I do, but sometimes, I really don't. Is it so bad that I want my weekends to be just about me and not about someone else? I felt like when Drew was still around, I lost all of "me" and it's just nowt hat I'm trying to reconnect with who I am again. So I'm sorry, I'm not at your beck and call anymore, but it's time that I put myself as the priority. Besides, it's not like I promised anything. I haven't broken anything. |
