Well the Portuguess require "authenticated" health certificate and NBI clearance by the DFA ok so We (my honey)rings the DFA in Cebu and gets told only in Manila hmmm I ring Manila DFA and get told yes you have to send the documents for verification by DHL they have forms and charges ok But the Health certificate needs authenticating by the Department of Health in order for us to authenticate it ...........right The Department of Health Cebu website has the following numbers listed RD : (032) 253-6355 ARD : (032) 418-7130 LHAD : (032) 254-0108 BFAD : (032) 418-7634 Licensing : (032) 418-7630 Admin : (032) 253-6359 HMS : (032) 253-3419 So Jhean has written them all down as theres no way of knowing which one to ring and will call them one at a time I also had to write down the question I need a DFA authenticated heath certificate for a visa application the DFA needs your authentication befor they will authenticate and I live in Balamban what do I need to do? Im of course now waiting to be told we will need an authorisation from the local dog catcher its almost at a hysterical level and i did say to jhean that in the years ahead we will laugh about this all if we survive Next stage (this is live and direct) Department of Heath use The Vincente Sotto as its affiliated so Having looked the number up on line DoH didnt have it she is off again to ask for an appointment and how much
Well guess what talked to out patients its a walk in no appoinments given get there at 7am Sir we open at 8am a lot of people Sir the women agreed thats its crazy to have to mix sick people with routine exams but thats what the Department of Health wants go figuer oh and should be finished by noon and no idea what it costs fantastic
yup we will go to The city Sunday and do the health thing and NBI clearance both are next door to fuente where i stay and "jollibee " if it goes into meltdown lol
I'm no fan of Jolibee but of the few Indian restaurants I've tried over there they were all really really awful Just finished a homemade Chicken Saag masala, I recently changed the way I make these and my new version is yumm even though I say so myself I make them too hot though got to cut down on the chilli
Well if it turns out good Keith, give me the google maps co-ordinates It might be a long way for me to travel from Manila but if it was really good it might be worth it You know, part of the reason I am trying to hone my cooking skills recently is just to have another string to the bow, in case I ever found myself having to be stuck in the Phils. In my profession I cannot make much dosh over there, they don't have many people working at my level and they also don't have a lot of openings for senior development professionals, I'm not a project manager but I can play the role of senior analyst and architect (software) and I could do the project management lark if I had to though I would rather not. Anyway long way of saying if I could I would work as a developer like now but from home and make a bit extra on the side from photography and another bit extra from running a small kitchen at night along with Ana, I would be a happy man All wishful thinking as we can't even get married yet so no chance of working at anything over there or getting them over here which would be much better
My mate has said he will buy me a curry tomorrow night but he doesn't know if there are any Indian resturants in the area So I did a search and found this one http://goo.gl/maps/0PpI , hopefully going to be there tomorrow night around about 10pm, zoom out from the map a little http://www.gurkhahouse.com/ I get there late, since last year when I got trapped in the Phils because of the volcano in Iceland I've had very very very limited holidays tomorrow I get my new annual allowance so I'm off for a long weekend to spend some time with my pal and his wife. Never been to the country before
