pat is back.
------

i am soo tired. i just came back from a super duper long today. anyway, i met ryan and kristine at cineleisure for lunch - we had pastamania, i arrived late, around 2pm, since i had to iron my clothes in the morning. we decided to pick pat from the airport - she is back and starting work tomorrow, but not with us anymore. she has decided to join another media agency in singapore. its good, we are just soo happy that pat is back in singapore - am sure things will be more happening, now that she is here.

anyway, we got her a rose, and waiter for her arrival at 6pm. shopped at termina 3 airport - where celio was having a huge sale. i got a polo for SGD 29 and a belt for SGD 10, discounted by 70%, isn't that a deal.

everything went smoothly, until we have to get her balikbayan box. it was such a hassle. we had to wait for 2 hours and go to different buildings - we needed permit, and all. she declared all her personal belongings and items - including books - which according to the man in customs was a controlled item by the government. they said we should have just declared it as personal items and below SGD 300 (so it will not be taxable - HELLO, there should be really no tax, since all those items are used anyway), but pat told us that the PAL people told her to declare everything that was inside the box. we had to go to an agent, and get an approval and declaration. we had to wait for some officers as they were having their break (we were there sunday, 7pm).. and they also had to check to box. anyway lesson learned, is to never ship a box to sg, just bring in all the items with you and pay excess luggage or something.

after that we went to her hotel, park royal (beachroad) which was beautiful by my standards. i dont have high standards though, as long as its clear and comfortable, its damn fine. we had dinner at this korean resto, then back home. i am soo damn tired. i went with pat thru everything kasi, but its ok, i love that she is back.

now, am not feeling so well, i might take a leave tomorrow since am having headaches and all. i would also need to go philippine embassy for my exit pass. hay.

by the way, i love scrapping off my to do list - i'm almost done with everything, i got tita bots laptop from JB yeserterday, i was able to clean the house, pack my luggage (am going home thursday), plus i was able to get all the bilins na. woohoo. it should be a good week, aside from all the decision i have to make in the upcoming days.
