lalo ako naexcite magpabook uli at bumalik!

[esor]

^ yay~thanks sis katniss for posting, kasama talaga itinerary ko. excited na ko bumalik! 
Sana November na 

[katniss]

^ np sis esor. excited na din ako sa feedback mo. LOL. mabilis na lang yan.

[doctor_betty]

We applied for the visa 9 days before our scheduled flight. We got our Korean visa 2 days before the flight. We booked the Busan and Seoul hotels a day before the flight. Rush lahat pero we were able to maximize naman the entire 6 days. Savior ang subway map! Kasi you can choose naman from there kung alin yung feel mo puntahan.

So kaya nyo yan, sis! Wag ma-tense sa itinerary at hotel booking:)

^sis katniss ROOFTOP PRINCE!!! biglang nag reminisce sakin si Bak Ha & Lee Gak 
ang saya naman nung blogger na yun, 58 days in South Korea, dami nyang napuntahan! Hay sana pwede din ako ng ganun 

[katniss]

^ginamit ko pa nga Google maps dyan, yung street map view para sundan yung directions nya. nakakaloka. gustong-gusto ko na bumalik. oo nga. lucky girl! parang gusto ko na rin tuloy mag-aral dun. hahaha!

@sis shopaholic kami naman sis nakapagpareserve ng accommodation a week before ng trip namin. don't panic sis! madali lang gumawa itinerary if you have been reading blogs ng mga nagpunta ng Seoul post mo rin dito so that we can comment.

[shopaholic_in_rehab]

 Nag confirm na rin si namsan finally. I'll start doing na my itinerary and post it here. Thanks mga sisses  excited na talaga ko 

[basha]

just got back from Korea! tama nga si doctor_betty, nakakaloka ang summer sale nila!!! mas mura pa nga ang branded clothes kesa yung nabibili sa tiangge!! was able to score a couple of blazers from zara, forever 21, shirts sa spao, barbie shirts from uniqlo(originally worth 24,900 won but bought it for 5,000 won), and even bought a vans shoes na worth 19,000 won or roughly 800 pesos lang! di ko in-expect na ganun kamura ang goods kaya hindi ako nagdala ng maraming pocket money dahil wala sa itinerary ko ang shopping hehe

Napakainit nga lang, as in tagaktak ang pawis pag lumakad ng lumakad...

[esor]

^welcome back sis basha, wow kainggit naman ang shopping galore nyo
dapat pala next year makapunta ko ng summer dyan 

buti pa sa Seoul mainit, dito satin lubog na sa baha 

[Happyme]

Hello sisses! Question lang po about tourist visa. If my husband and I are applying for tourists visas, should we submit 2 copies of bank certificate sa joint account namin or different bank certificates from the savings accounts that each of us separately maintain?   And also, if I have a previous/expired US visa, sa ibang window ba ako mag-aaply? Kasi si hubby walang previous visa. Thanks a lot!!

[hummia]

Hello sis basha - ask ko lang would you know till when yun sale nila? I'm planning to go there on September 7-10 and magkakatabi lang ba yun mga boutique (Zara.. forever 21)? Thanks po in advance!

Hi girls! I'll be in Seoul in October, so question Lang regarding the visa, may visas na ako from other countries which is part mg OED ( US Visa, Shengen Visa, New Zealand, Australia, Japan and China). I read somewhere na if I have Visas issued by other countries na 1 requirement ok na. If COE, bank cert or BIR? Tama ba?

Start ako ng new work this Monday, nahiya naman ako to ask agad for COE.

^sis krock

For applicants with valid visa  or who have been to any OECD Nations(Except Korea) within the last 5years, applicants are only required to submit  only an Employment Certificate or Business Registration issued by SEC or DTI.

^ hello sis hummia,  til August 31 ang summer sale nila 

^ doctor_betty, i did go to H&M, kaso i wasn't able to buy anything kasi wala ako nagustuhan and very limited ang shopping budget kaya i bought what i think is magagamit ko palagi

^ sis esor, oo sobrang init, di ko alam sobra na pala ang baha dito sa Manila pagbalik ko. ang sabi lang kasi ng mom ko panay ulan lang. saka yung house namin located sa di binabahang area

[hummia]

Thanks sis @basha! I'm going to embassy today to get my passport hopefully with visa na. Wish me luck po!

[basha]

^ approved ba ang visa mo sis! 

[hummia]

Hello mga sis! Sis @basha yes approved ako! But I'm still worried. Hindi pa approve yung kasama ko kasi daw invalid yun TIN. So what we did was we called BIR and asked for his correct TIN. We were able to get it and gave it right away sa Consul. But I'm worried kasi iba un TIN s ITR niya and the TIN that we gave (the correct one.) I don't know what happened sa ITR siguro kasi nag-work na siya 6 years ago sa ibang company so paglipat niya sa company namin ngayon eh iba na yun TIN niya.

Do you guys think we still have big chances of getting his visa?

[hummia]

Mga sis na-approved kami! we're leaving on september 7, 2012! Thanks to this thread!
