HOW SPAIN SLOWLY KILL ME

“Life is full of screwups. You're supposed to fail sometimes. It's a required part of the human existance.” 
― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride



Spain is one of my biggest dream country to visit i want to explore in their cities and experience life in Europe country only just for a short stay.  That's why when i gave a chance to visit this country i grabbed it immediately.

Everything happen was a truly blissful event.  Last October i gathered all the documents i needed to send it for my Schengen Visa Application.  Everything were in a hurry but i thank God i finally completed it all.
I enclosed in the envelope the copy of my Application Form,  round trip ticket, my Travel Insurance, the hotel were i would stay, Certificate of Employment, Bank Certificate, Invitation coming from my host sponsor, and Passport.

After my very short stay in Samar to visit my father i immediately scheduled my visit to the Spanish Consulate for my interview .  I have in hand all the original documents just in case they ask for it.  The interview last for 10 minutes i think.  After that i went out in their office with lots of questions in my mind.  But i know i did all the best that i can. I sent all the important documents they needed for them to study my application. After 2 days i received a notification stating that my application is ready for deliver by the next day but since i don't have an office work during Saturday i got it after two days because i addressed it in my office where i work.

I was really hesitant to open the plastic but i should.  I knew it already that i got a refused visa, why? because as i remember when i read one article she also got a refusal paper.  You will notice it if you feel something inside together with your passport. It was a bond paper stating that they refuse your visa application. The reason why they refused my visa are

       " Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided."

" Your intention to leave the territory of the member states before the expiry of the Visa could not be ascertained".

 When i felt it my tears started to fell. I immediately called my sponsor to inform him about it.  We were both shocked and saddened.  Both depress and upset because we attached all the important documents inside the envelope.  I didn't want to wasted time because my flight schedule is on Dec. 25, 2013.  I wrote an appeal letter stating my purpose of travel and to convince them that i have no plan to stay long in there country and my sponsor also made an explanation why he invited me.

On the next day i went again in the Spanish Consulate and file my appeal. I attached another documents as a proof of my employment and some identifications of my sponsor.  I put my contact number in my letter and my passport number then after they received it i decided to go home.

I felt really disappointed, i really cried a lot when my application got refused knowing that i enclosed all the required documents but still they refused it.

My dream to step in Spain has been crash! They are killing me slowly, they killing my dreams and my rights to travel. Is it fair!?

Of course who would not dream to travel Europe?!! Europe is very nice place indeed and aside from that a very expensive one but who cares?!  Visiting this country is a worth to stay.   Paris one of the place i really wanted to visit and explore, and you couldn't possibly visit Paris without seeing the Eiffle Tower.

I remember my friend when she visited France, she gave me an Eiffle tower key chain! and hope someday i could visit this place, from Paris lets move to Greece!!:)

What comes to your mind when you think about Greece? Me i think of Santorini!!

Santorini by night..grabbed from google

Santorini has a great architecture design, its main attraction is the landscape and the seascape of the island itself. I am so amazed by the design of their houses, it also has a very romantic view and best place plan your wedding :)

Spain! I met someone who lives in Spain, we talk about his place and same as mine, we exchanges travel experiences from different places.  We talk about festivities, cultures and even history (funny indeed remembering the time when Spaniard colonized the Philippines).  That was a great conversation i had with him and learning from each others experiences.

Barcelona one of the place i wanted to visit in Spain, why? because of the awesome architectural design of their churches, The history , food and the people.  The picture below is the Sagrada Familia Cathedral work of Antoni Gaudi- still unfinished but this is the most visited place in Barcelona. Great work!!

Aside from the amazing design of their cathedral, i heard they also have a great taste of food, a unique and authentic food. :)
