Arrived at the Changi International Airport aboard Cebu Pacific that left Clark at 12:20PM. It was almost four in the afternoon, June 6. We started the trip from Oscariz, Ramon, Isabela Sunday morning riding on Raul's Navarra with Jovy, his third eldest boy to Manila, where we checked in at a hotel owned by an Isabela resident. Most of the helpers there were Ilocos boys. The following morning, we motored to Clark and checked in at about 9 in the morning. We had two luggage, 2 hand-carried bags and laptop slung on my shoulders. Paid the travel tax-- P1, 260.00 each. Christoffer and Christian met us at Changi's Budget Terminal.
Started yesterday reading, "The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor", the first major work of 1982 Nobel Prize winner in Literature Gabriel Garcia Marquez, published in book form in 1970. The book was borrowed by 10-year old Juan-Juan Julian from the Serangoon Public Library, located atop a mall in Serangoon, S$55 cents away from our resident via bus. Some of the books borrowed by Juan-Juan (no librarian here, it's all run by electronics): The Longest War by Peter L. Bergen, a book about the conflict between America and Al-Qaeda; Interlogue, studies on Singapore literature and a book of poetry by Robert L. Hass.
A gray day with occasional rains, we stayed mostly indoors, in the 8th floor of a 12-storey flat in Serangoon Ave. 2. It's quarter to two in the afternoon.
