Last week,we decided to fully comply all the requirements that my father needed so that he will be able to start working on the next day right after we got his paper.
The last paper needed was his PSA since he only have a Birth Certificate and it wasn't allowed to the company.Since it was being required to comply everything first,we have no choice but to do it even in a very tight budget.
I booked our appointment online and we left home very early.I decided to took my bath even though the water feels like a knife stabbing my skin because it was freaking cold,imagine getting a bath at 3 A.M in the morning.
We walked towards parkmall since it was too early to catch a jeepney in the roadside.Even though it was so early,there are already a lot of passengers commuting that time,but still we are able to sit comfortably.
I was so cold since we are riding a modern jeepney which has an aircon inside.Thankfully the road was still calm and was ready for the stressfull time coming during the day.
As we arrived in the PSA,I immediately grab the form so that it will be much easier for us to line up.Since our schedule was 8:00 A.M,we have to wait for our schedule time.As the time goes by,a lot of people keep on coming and the line was getting longer more than I could imagine.
Thankfully we had our appointment time,and since there are only few people who got an appointment in the 7:00 A.M schedule,we are able to enter the office at 7:30.I wasn't allowed to go inside since it was my fathers PSA,so I waited outside.
My mother on the other hand,decided to line up for the national id since she already had her claim slip.This was the most hard part of our day.There are a lot of new comers that rushed to go inside right after the management open the mall.
A lot of people who got there early was left behind including my mom,they are afraid to be stock in the middle and might cause harm for them.
Thankfully my mom got the very last number for that day and a lot of people keeped on complaining because they got there early and they couldn't secure a priority number.We cannot blame the management because that's there way also to manage the people.
I really thought that the process will not take that long, but I was wrong.My dad finished his process and got his PSA and yet we are still waiting for my moms turn.
We waited for whole day, tired and exhausted.
During lunch time,we grab our lunch into some random cafeteria and bought fried chicken and got back as soon as we can hoping to be called right after we come back.
My butt was hurting so bad and my back was aching.After the long wait,it was my moms' turn and finally,the small paper that we've sacrificed our time was being claimed.
It was a tough day,facing crowded people for such important matter but it feels amazing after it was being done.
