PI trip

Our PI trip will be on March 25th. Am i excited? No! So many things that needs to be done before the trip. Firstly, i haven't loss any single of pounds yet. I want to appear in PI with the same ol' me back 4yrs ago. Do you think the herbal diet supplements will help? Secondly, I haven't have any shoppings for "pasalubongs" yet and lastly, i never heard anything regarding my passport and neither my gc. We already book the ticket. It was too risky, i know! But husband booked the ticket to make sure we have a good deal and besides we don't want our friend who's going with us will be worried about things.

Speaking of passport, husband called the PI embassy the other day checking what is the status of my application but the lady told him my passport is still in the office and they never send it yet to manila. Alright, its been 4 weeks now since they received my application. According to them, their estimated processing time is 6weeks, so they still have 2 weeks to work on it. I don't know for sure how long it take to work it in manila but we are keeping our fingers crossed to have it before march 25th. I don't want to think negatively.
