- Today (21 June) is my mother's birthday (Happy Birthday!) but she will be going back to Naga this Wednesday (We will miss you but of course you can come back anytime).
- Today (21 June), we received the good news that my eldest sister Pam & husband Ptr. Jong & their children are now green card holders in US (Congrats and Praise God!)
- Two weeks ago (7 June), I have submitted the Permanent Residence Application for myself and my family. Saturday is a peek day to apply for PR and only the first 100 applicants are entertained. Though we were late to reached ICA (7:15am with queue reaching up to the back of the ICA building), we still made it -- we were applicant number 96! (Praise God! ..and thanks to EDP Boys and Ma'am Tess Zapata for updating my Employment Certificate, ...owe you one ...or is it two?.. or three?... OK, I guess it is now countless...). By the way, congrats to my caregroup friends, Liel & family and Chris & April, they just received their PR Approval (Answered Prayer!!!)
- I have received my Tax Assessment from IRAS for 2008 (based on my salary+bonus for 2007--I paid no tax in 2007, how about that? But wait, that's not all, read on...). Do you want to know how much I need to pay? It's about 50% less than what I paid a year when I was still in EDP (again, how about that?). Now, how on earth was I paying more tax in the Philippines than in Singapore?
- My status in World 17 in TW went really bad. I have changed my remaining village name to "Free Village" (It's free, literally) since I am expecting that my village will be nobled off anytime. Anyway, I doing well in World 19. I have now 6 villages and my points reached 30K (Yeepee!!)
- Thinkrefill.us is still down! Needs to finalize everything by next Saturday...
- We have received the bad news that Micah, Honnie's little sis, got scoliosis but God can heal her anyway (waiting for the day when we will sing, "He'd turn my mourning into dancing again...")
- Tomorrow (22 June) will be Mama Malyn and Tatay Jess' 35th Wedding Anniversary (Congrats!)
- Monday (23 June) will be the start of Term 3 for Deni and Sam (That means I will be waking up much earlier than the usual... again!)
- Next Sunday (29 June) will be Hope Filipino Church's 11th Year Anniversary. (Still got lots of invitation cards on hand -- must invite more! Lord, make me successful)
