Beautiful and Sublime Sunday - Visit The Philippines Consulate

3 months ago (Edited)

My friend and me went to the Philippines Consulate last Sunday for the renewal of my contract and my ACOP- Annual Confirmation of Pentioner Program since my husband was already dead and was a legit member of Philippines Social Security System. Once you completed the 10 years monthly contribution, the survivors and underage beneficiaries could recieve pension.

About my contract, I supposed to spend vacation this year but I extended my stay here and signed my another two years contract with my employer. It must be signed between me and the the designated personnel in the consulate.

We traveled by riding a bus. The ticketing office we visited first told us that there was no vacant and no schedule for that day. So we whent to Jizan terminal and thanks God, we got our ticket. So funny! I and my friend were the only passenger until reaching Jeddah. As if, it was a special trip to both of us.

A big bus we were riding and it was me and my friend were the passengers.

It tooks 12 hours traveling Jizan to Jeddah by passenger's bus. If you used your own car, it would take only for 6 hours. The road now are smooth not like before, it was still rough road. But lately, sad to say that the flooding caused the damage of the cemented road.I saw the aftermath of the flooding last few month's ago.

The bus and the moon.

At the midst of our trip, the driver and his conductor had a dinner and told us to eat and visit comfort room for 20 minutes and we have to proceed our trip. We saw them eating but we had our food inside the car. We had boiled eggs and rice.

Then we got inside the restaurants and what we found surprised me. What a beautiful ambiance! I took so many photographs and heres my model.

All the people inside watched us but we ignored them to the point that I liked the place and the theme of the restaurant was so cool. There was a 30 meter water falls and it looked so real. It was a very nice place to be with your family or a friend with you.

After 20 minutes, the driver and conductor finished their dinner and we continued our trip. After that, I want to take picture of some interesting place but I slept until I woke up, we were already entering the city of Jeddah and fastly approaching the terminal of buses and MRT going throughout the country's best places.

I was not expecting the big changes of the city center. Terminal of buses were changed to another place. I was grateful to the driver who dropped us in the right place where I refused to be dropped there. Then, time was still 2am at dawn so , it was too early to go to the consulate. We tool pur rest in the sala of the terminal inside. I saw restaurant, coffee shops,jewelry shop, grocery and malls inside.
