9th January

9th January 2006 I met up w/ my trio in NUS. This was the 1st day of the 2nd semester. There, my good friend gave each of another friend and I a copy of "The Purpose-Driven Life".

"Pareho kayong nakadark ah. Pinag-usapan nyo ba yan?"

He said we are on the same boat. The other friend on the other hand was miserable, coming back from the holidays spent home in Manila.

9th January 2007 First day of Lola Gonda's wake.

9th January 2008 My proposed departure back to Singapore. I asked today from the Cebu Pacific office, booked na daw Jan 11/12 pohon so I cannot reschedule my flight anymore. Sila Susan and Carlo will be on the Jan 11th flight while Niña will be on the Jan 12th one.

I pray that my plans are in line with God's will. Amen.

I met Ms Faith Villacampa on that flight. She comes to Singapore every now and then to meet w/ clients. She said nainterested sad daw sya eskwela NUS w/my talk.

Most imptly, gichika pa ko sa Immigration Officer. The airline man gud gave us a copy of the Embarkation/Disembarkation Card. There were alrdy so many ones before me who filled up but we actually don't need it since we have a separate laminated card that the immig offcr would just put into the reader. Before we landed I was concerned that my student's pass would not be valid but ok pa man diay.

When I came home in June 2006, gichika sad ko sa General Manager sa Changi. I was watching reruns of the World Cup then when he joined me. Wow, this country is really something! And to think for my Singapore Economy module I did a paper on Changi Airport and Singapore Airlines! Big surprises come in small packages indeed. I'm eternally amused. :-)
