this would be quick. I just want to share you that i did something very amazing today. I went out to apply my license to practice here in Doha. I was really nervous, cause this would be the official day i will be walking out of Doha alone. (i did have a little help from my sister Riza and her friend Kuya Chad)., I went to look for my sister's office. i did have the map on my hand and the map i drew using the google map, and with phone calls by ate Riza. I called her up but she said She was not in her office yet, so i went to look for a restaurant. i walked to see KFC but it was just 8:30 then so it was closed yet, I did come to this Arabian restaurant called White Tower. I expected that a Kabayan would be there and there was none. I BET I'M GONNA PRACTICE MY ENGLISH NOW ey. I stood up to the cashier, there was no pictures of anything aside from it full of burgers,, so i thought it's a fast food chain. I asked "How much is your Burger here?" and the waiter gave me the menu. Oh crap. It's a Restaurant, i sat and ordered. It was 6 riyals for the burger and the water. What i learned here is you cant always convert everything in to peso cause you can't buy anything, so 6 riyals here is like 6 pesos so it is cheap :) but converted to peso it would be 66 pesos. not bad though.
After eating i went to ate Riza's office and signed the different documents i asked her to print. The original plan is to take a karwa (that is the taxi) to the Supreme Council of Health. I chose to walk however, cause it will help me memorize the City. So i did. I have my whole positive outlook!Upon arriving, i cant see a kabayan anywhere so i asked again (you'll be proud of me cause i asked a lot of times). "where will i process my data flow?" (naks). he answered "on the 12th window". I went there and seen a kabayan waiting too., a couple both Ilokano from Cagayan. I asked "kabayan, san ko iproprocess ito?" she said "Nurse ka din? ay sa online na yan, hindi na sila tumtanggap ng hard copy". NEGATIVE vibes. I said "sabi kasi sa inaplyan ko mas maganda raw pag personal". "ilang buwan ba yung visa mo? alam mo baka umuwi ka pa ng pinas kasi matagal processing dito" NEGATIVE again. I said "hindi mabilis lang yan". Whew ang daming negatives babes nung babaeng yun. I went to the teller and asked me to give me my photocopies, i didn't have. There is a Photocopy machine beside so i asked the Pinay again, "pwede ko kaya gamitin yung xerox machine?" she answered "sira ata". I went to the guard i asked him if its working, He said "yeah". I asked "should i operate that on my own?" (nakss!) "yeah" he answered. Naku naman Kabayan ang NEGA mo. hmmm. But i didn't know how to use that so i went back to ate riza again, Imagine that a 30 degrees celcius environment. then i photocopied everything. Kuya Chad accompanied me, buti nalang may sasakyan sya. i went back and gave my papers, I paid 600 riyals, and taran, done in 10 minutes. May pa-online online pa si Kabayan.,
So that's my half day. Will tell you stories again later :p
