This Wednesday may be a very busy day for me but it is also one of the happy days in my life. Perhaps I had a great Wednesday walk with full of Christmas colors and it is also a memorable one when my passport application was successfully processed at Department of Foreign Affairs in Butuan City. And here is what happened to my #wednesdaywalk.
I woke up and left at home very early. It was 3 o’clock in the morning when I left my place. I rode by bus and I was heading to Butuan City for passport application.
Although I was very sleepy, I took some photos on my way and I was able to capture my very own reflection.
The schedule for my passport should have been last August 16, 2022 together with my dearest sister, 
Although still in pain, I am opt to process it with personal appearance at Butuan City because I am only given until September 14, 2022 to process it, so the passport application happened on a Wednesday.
I arrived in Butuan City at around 9 o’clock in the morning. That was really a very long travel so I felt very hungry.
The Department of Foreign Affairs was located in Robinsons Place. At that moment, the door was partially closed and a lot of people were waiting outside for the mall to open.
When I arrived there, I found out that the mall would be opened at 10 o’clock so I cannot yet get in.
I was really very hungry and I could only get in through the door in a fast food chain, so I decided to eat in my most favorite Jollibee.
And so, I was able to enter and ordered my chicken meal with fries, and a burger steak before processing for my passport.
After, I am done eating my meal, I headed directly to the third floor of Robinsons place. My passport application was rescheduled on September 14, 2022 with an approved reappointment from Department of Foreign Affairs Butuan City.
When I entered the office, I have undergone steps for processing. First, I went to the information section to submit the photocopy and original copy of the requirements and waited for the next step.
My requirements were verified and approved. And it was followed by processing of data at the processing section.
The next part was at the encoding section for passport picture shoot and biometrics verification. I passed the verification and my passport application was successfully approved.
Finally, the last step was to pay for the delivery of the courier. So that I will not go again at the office, the Department of Foreign Affairs will be the one to send it to me at my home address.
The process for my passport was very smooth and after and hour of waiting, I was done. It will take two weeks for me to get my passport and it will just be delivered to my address on October 05, 2022.
Afterwards, I asked the guard to capture a photo for me outside the Department of Foreign Affairs or DFA Butuan.
Thinking that it is my first time to go in Butuan City and I still have a lot of time to explore, I took the opportunity to explore Robinsons Place.
I was walking all around the mall. I have seen a variety of colors hanging on the ceiling and I loved all of them. The people were very nice, too as they treated me very well.
Meanwhile, I was able to find out beautiful and wonderful Christmas ornaments and stuffs.
I really wanted to buy new decorations for Christmas since what I have at home were being reused for about six years now, since I have bought all of them since 2016. Although they were quite old, I truly treasured them.
Here are the amazing photos of all the Christmas ornaments and stuffs as I have walked on a Wednesday inside Robinsons Place.
I was really mesmerized when I saw every beautiful colors of Christmas. How I wish to buy them and how I wish they were not for sale. I felt a light heart while seeing a magical view all around me.
How I love every color of Christmas that I have seen on the mall and how I wish I could buy them all but budgeting is a must.
I so love the elegant nutcrackers, merry carousels, happy santas, and all the jolly snowman that were displayed at the corners.
My Wednesday was really full of colors but I admit that I am always longing for my dearest sister, Erika and my Christmas will never be the same without her. How I wish she was with me while I was processing my passport but suddenly she was gone in the most tragic day. But then, only time will tell and only time will heal the deepest wounds.
The colorful Christmas trees made me alive and they made me happy for a while.
Life must go on despite being twisted a million times.
But now, I am living with the dreams we once had, and I must say that she may be gone but all the dreams that we once had would always be chased as I am reaching them through thinking on the brighter side of life. And that life must go on despite being twisted a million times.
Both of us wanted to travel abroad. And if given the opportunity, we would grab it. But now, I am left with a heavy and bleeding heart after she was gone yet I do not want that her dreams would also die with her. So despite all the pain, sorrow, and despair from within, I am standing up once more to continue our broken dreams. I am looking forward to embracing a glorious day once more. And I greatly believe, only God knows.
My day ended with so much delight in my heart. How about you? How was your Wednesday? I hope you were having a great Wednesday walk. Perhaps I have experienced a Wednesday walk with full of Christmas colors literally and figuratively at Butuan City.
