Iggyyyyy hi!
it was hella, super, mega, mall of asia -tiring! as in. no joke. i know the feeling. its a journey na once ko lang gagawin kasi nakakabaliw sya ha HAHAH
they say dont put your life on hold while waiting. i didnt do that. i put our lives on hold throughout the journey. iba iba tayo ng choices. and iba iba tayo ng values in life. so whatever makes you sane, do it.
a little throwback when i was just starting my PR journey...
i was just a lurker here. i was processing my tourist visa to au to visit family and relatives.
before visiting au, i knew i wanted to migrate. i want out!!!! ph sucks!!!! big time!!!! and this is coming from someone whos actually living comfortably in the ph. basta they were so many factors that led to that decision. YOU NEED TO KNOW YOUR WHY. why are you leaving? why do you want to migrate? why why why
anyway, i told my husband that if i like au on my first visit, we'll move there. and no, i dont have any idea yet on how we will migrate that time.
moving forward to visiting au, as soon as we landed.... i told my husband, yep we're moving here.
long story short, as soon as we came back from au, i read the au immigration website from front and back. i read so many articles. i read so many posts here and there. it was SO overwhelming. i didnt know what kind of information was reliable enough to help me on my journey. at some point, i got lost on what path to take BUT i know i wanted to migrate so i pushed and pushed.
then i got stuck here in pinoyau. THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS COMMUNITY. this was my home (and still is!) i read all the threads i could find here. everything i learn in my pr journey, i learnt from here. yep DIY baby! its possible.
ano na nga yung tanong mo? hahahahahaha
"how long did you wait for invite and PR?" my timeline is in my signature. and i was very active here for almost 2 yrs! everyday ako nandito nun! kain work tulog pinoyau lang umiikot mundo ko nun hahahahaha
"why did you wait?" i went all in. ive already lost a lot of time by waiting, so theres really no turning back for me back then. mabaliw na kung mabaliw hahahah
"why did you still pursue it even though the process was long?" because i wanted a better quality of life. i had a chance in PR so i took it. and it was honestly THE best life decision i have ever taken. no regrets talaga. it was all worth it as soon as i received that grant, grabe yung iyak ko. and im still crying pag naaalala ko yung journey ko.
ayun, sana nakakuha ka ng inspiration 🙂 basta youre not alone in this pr journey. madami tayo. kung kaya namin, kayang kaya mo din! at lahat ng nagaantay. mahirap pero hindi imposible. samahan mo ng dasal at maraming maraming pasensya. pasasaan pa't makakaraos din.
love every bit of my life here in au, its not 100% perfect but i wouldnt have any other way. cheers!
