    korek napakamahal ng data plan dito.. advice is kumuha kayo ng month to month basis yung walang contract meron yata ung iinet at vivid mobile unli data for $79. nabigla din kami kasi 8GB lng kinuha nmin sa telstra halos maubos sa isang linggo ang lakas pala makakain ng data ng videos sa youtube naiinip kasi pag naghahanap work hehe..

    sa car medyo tsambahan din makakauha kau sa gumtree or quokka pag dealer naman medyo sure ng unti pero pag under 4K ung kotse mo walang warranty mas maganda magsama ng marunong tumingin or sa test drive malalamn na somehow kung maganda pa ang condition basta walang major issues like engine failure/leaking.. nakakuha kami ng kotse sa small dealer dito banda sa albany highway $3K sonata model 2004 150K pero after makuha may mga pinagawa pa kami (logbooking, battery etc.) na umabot sa $500+... pwede na din basta may nagagamit. (iba pa ang change of ownership fee, Rego extension etc.) para sa convenience na din lalo ngayong summer

    hi guys... ask ko lang... magkano ba dpat ang estimated na kelangan dalhin to AU for singles like me? it will be my first time tin Australia and I don't know anyone. It's starting to scare me but I know I have to do it. In addition pala, just in case I don't find work in my field agad. Mahirap ba makahanap ng mga waitressing or whatever type of work jan sa AU? i know i can count on my fellow forumers for help. so i'm asking now... love, ms. fretful.. :)

    @cchamyl In your timeline you stated that "It is only through GOD that we can achieve success..". If God has blessed us to be here downunder, He will not leave us on our own hence do not fear...He sent His first born Israelites to Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey which translate to continuous good life (flowing not stagnant). God bless to the new chapter of your life..

    And by the way, if ur single, even 1200 AUD per month can do for the time being...

    Hi..im moving alone in October. Is 1500 aud enough for one month?
    I think it's good mayroon ka breakdown of expenses gawin before moving to Au. Include all major needs mo. Pwede sa excel file para easy to update as you get more info sa $ amount. This way, hindi ka ma-short po sa Au. God bless

    $1000 is enough sa isang buwan, yes. But do you have a plan B pag within 1 month hindi ka pa makahanap ng work? I think naman makakasya mo pa yan sa 2 months kung libre accommodation mo and mag titipid ka muna. Check mo nalang sa job portal and dito kung madami ba hiring sa occupation mo para you have idea kung mabilis ka ba makakahanap ng work :)
