Good day, wonderful people of read. At long last, here I am again as I've been looking for ideas to write and finally I thought of this one.

To think of it, how was my recent travel?

As I was still jobless at the moment, I could only travel to do important things because unnecessary ones could extra. Yeah, I am getting broke, hahaha.

It was Feb. 02, 2022, my appointment for my PRC License Renewal and my appointment venue is situated at Robinson's Place Ormoc City. Together with a friend, we first travelled early to Baybay City on a motorcycle and that was were we commuted on a van on the way to Ormoc. Our day was great, we arrived at 9AM in the beautiful city of Ormoc.

Yeah, everything was fine. Until we reached the floor where the PRC office was situated.

The queue was very long, in our minds it was going to be a very long day. And yes it did.

We were standing, for roughly 3 hours on that heck of a queue, haha. But only then we realized, just as we are near the office entrance and it is already lunch time, me and my friend decided to eat lunch as we did not have much of a breakfast because we travelled early, and the procedures inside the office takes time depending on the client concerns. But were blessed to have great people along our queue because they were understanding and they promised us to secure our place in the queue as we are still going to look for somewhere to eat.

And yes, we got nothing else to go but to our all time fav. Jollibee. That was our chance to relax a bit as we've been standing for hours and we were so hungry at that time. But as soon as we finished lunch, we rushed back to the queue and were so relieved that we are steps away from the entrance.

And still it took us long to really enter the office. As the transactions of certain clients really took time. People were starting to get impatient.

This has been the situation for almost an hour. We were moving one chair at a time to the front and I was entertained around 4PM. But my concerns, inside the office was officially done at around 4:53PM as I still photocopied my PRC ID for authentication and waited for it's release.

After that, we head back to the Bus Terminal of Ormoc City and started travelling back home. I arrived at home late 7PM. And it was a heck of a day.

I had learned my lesson that day.

As I've observed in the previous weeks, that Teachers who renewed their Licenses only took minutes and were already finished with their business at the PRC Office. Ours took too long because we underestimated the possibility of having a long queue as the holidays made more volumes of clients that day. 2 days postponement meant more clients than the regular population.

That travel of mine made me regret as I did not to enjoy my moment of travel. I could've explored the city instead of being in the long queue

It should have been a lot better if I delayed it for a few weeks, because I was just renewing my license in advance but then payment has been made and I just secured my appointment slot. It wil be a waste if I could not go on that date and I might even forget the appointment that I've made. I'll just charge it to experience then.

So that would be all, hope you also had great and safe travels. Thank you for sparing some time to read.
