Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

Stricto rin sa Singapore with regards to yosi pero nagagawan pa rin ng paraan so magagawan rin ng paraan dito at your own risk. Baka dahil dumadami mga tao na labas/pasok ng australia nag random checks na lang sila. Kung ma random check ka tapos may tinatago ka may fine ka. Mahirap mag comment regarding kulong at ayaw naman natin mapunta sa sitwasyon na ganun.
Para sa akin, nagdala ako ng meat products from SG at hindi ko dineclare. Hindi naman sila nag check but I may not be lucky enough next time

Did anyone of you catch the episode with the gay filipino? Anyway, the gay filipino is wearing super casual clothes as in blouse and jeans plus not to offend him but he doesnt look tourist talaga.as in mas maporma pa yung ibang nag-mall.In short the looks doesnt justify he can afford to tour.(Dont judge me hah...its what I noticed lang,di man lang pinaghandaan plus that made the officer asked more more queations.) Then he barely speak English and so nervous.So next step,inspection of bags,then voila!found a rim of resume and his diploma and certficate of employment. So the officer assumed that he will work pr look for work. To the point where the officer called the contact number of the parlor that is written in the COE.Overseas hah but no answer. He was questioned inside the office and he begs that he is really there to visit.Officer went outside to look for his sundo and found no one.Then kind old officer said we need to talk to the person he will visit so he made a final decision to look outside again and if the relatives are still not there then deport sya but luckily the sundo showed up.But the officer made a strict instructions that if the gay filipino is found to be working or will apply job then they will be responsible and fined. So there you go!They are that strict and if you will notice they go to warehouse,factories and check IDs of asian origin workers to make sure they are all eligible to work.

Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.

Question regarding personal goods: pano ung treatment sa phones bought through postpaid plans? Pano ung ikoconsider na value niya, ung true market value o value stated sa receipts? Tsaka pano pag wala ng receipt, considered ba un na used for more than 12 months na? Baka kasi magbayad pa ko ng tax, haha! Thank you!

To the point where the officer called the contact number of the parlor that is written in the COE.Overseas hah but no answer.
He was questioned inside the office and he begs that he is really there to visit.Officer went outside to look for his sundo and found no one.Then kind old officer said we need to talk to the person he will visit so he made a final decision to look outside again and if the relatives are still not there then deport sya but luckily the sundo showed up.But the officer made a strict instructions that if the gay filipino is found to be working or will apply job then they will be responsible and fined. So there you go!They are that strict and if you will notice they go to warehouse,factories and check IDs of asian origin workers to make sure they are all eligible to work.
