got it

got approved on the uS tourist visa!

though i don't really plan to go there unless it an invitation from delta [as i said], it's still good to have it.

i even almost lost the chance for it. my interview time's at 1400 [manila time] and i got there at around half past one! hahaha. one guy who was up for the interview tried to be friends by starting a conversation. he asked: "so did you just arrived? or were here hours ago?" i said i just came and he was like "i just arrived too. did you get scared?" haha! he got me there. i did get scared. imagine, paying 6ooophp for that appointment and you fail not because of the interview but because you were late??? haha! but i said to him. "no. i'm just fine." wahehehe. i hope he got my message that i didn't want any talks *wink*

it was pretty scary at the interview area. you will be able to overhear some interview going on. sometimes the consul would sound irritated saying
"what?? you dont have any jobs and you want to go to the uS?? how are you supposed to pay for your trip??"

when it was my turn, it was like scary but a was a bit confident that my job would get me that approval. and it did. =D

just a tip for those who plan to get a uS tourist visa. don't give the consul any hint that you won't be coming back or that you are broke. one applicant said she planned to stay there as tourist for six months and she got denied. another one is that she got more relatives in the uS than in manila and she's only applying for a tourist visa and that got her denied.

be confident and be true. that's all.
