Carmina asked Mom Violy what kind of food she would like to eat for her upcoming birthday. Mom Violy said she was craving for a restaurant that serves steak and lobster. Carmina gave Mom Violy a list of restaurants for her to decide with a link of the websites for her to see which one look something she would like to try. One week before Mom Violy's birthday she made her final choice where she would like to try Mamou . Carmina had picked up Mom Violy at her home before heading to Gateway 2 located in Cubao, Quezon City. Mamou is located ground floor inside Gateway 2. Upon entering the person asked if we had any reservations however, they do except walk as well was seated at the table of our choice. The person had handed us the menu. Beverages Menu Bread and butter were served after we had placed our order. Our appetizer was the Mamou's Bacon Steak. Mom Violy decided to order her lobster tail with rice. Carmina had ordered Beer Battered Fish and Malt Vinegar with choice of pot
While on the last few days before Mom Violy and Carmina are set to leave the United States just out of curiousty I wanted to know how someone not being in the Philippines can make an appointment at the DFA located in your home town.
Carmina went to Passport appointment to schedule Mom Violy while filling her application online having her Filipino Passport and birth certificate with me.
I was able to schedule her the month of August.
The only problem is the payment became an issue not having access to pay through credit card the one used in the Philippines. Since we're consider roaming the OTP couldn't be retrieve since we put our international phone on flight mode to prevent excess charges on our trip.
Mom Violy didn't want to use the credit card in the United States there will be a foreign exchange rate charge.
I decided to go on off the counter payment and paying it when returning back to the Philippines since it gave me enough time until my deadline was due on July 14 the morning I arrived.
I was able to pay through Gcash on my phone and a confirmation was sent through via-email and copy of Mom Violy's application to be printed.
Since I had no printer access due living with Mom Violy. I forward the email who had access to a printer.
There are always ways to do it you can always ask someone to pay if you know anyone living in the Philippines.
Next step the day of Mom Violy's DFA appointment where you'll be able to read next month of August.
