    @bbtot depends kung anong state. Usually pag mataas competition, mas slim ang chance makakuha ng accomodation. Pero marami naman na kahit walang payslips nakakakuha ng house for rent.

    Nag BM kami last Tuesday sa Melbourne. Di na pinabuksan mga luggage to check basta sa customs tinanong lang if may dala kami food and medicine which we answered yes. Then ok na. Kung alam ko lang nagdala ako ng more foods haha!
    Experience ko sa NAB when claimed the ATM naghanap sila ng drivers license ko as supporting ID. Buti kumuha ako sa pinas bago pumunta dito.

    @Captain_A Alam ko na rin yan. The thing is, wala pang area kung saan magkakawork. Ang minimum contract is 6 months, kung hindi matatapos void ang malaking bond na idedeposit. Pano kung sa sydney magkaka offer? May mga agent na rin kami nakausap kaya mahirap kumuha agad ng bahay. Pero thanks sa idea. Kaya sana yung may sagot sa tanong ko magreply. Salamat

    Hi @archdreamchaser sobrang bihira pa ng nababasa ko na ginagalaw or tinitignan ang contents ng hard disks or ng laptop. But then again, would you risk it? Depende na lang cguro sa risk appetite mo :) (pero yes sa totoo lang wala pa ako ulit latest na nababasa na sinilip ang hard drive contents..) pwede mo din cguro iupload muna sa mga cloud storages. Download mo n lng pag nasa Au ka na

    @archdreamchaser we just moved in last week and same po ang nging concern namin. as per the PDOS instructor, may case na daw na sinilip yung laptop, though medyo iba yung case kasi may nakitang porn movie kaya pinauwi ng Pinas. pero considering na may nangyari ng pag iinspect ng laptop, i think na possible din na masita ang mga fake / pirated softwares kaya what we did is we deleted all of our pirated movies / installers / apps and even yung windows 10 ko, pinalitan ko ng ubuntu just to be safe :) mas better na i-let go ang mga files na yan kesa sa future ntin sa Australia :)

    Hello sa inyo! Magjojoin na rin ako dito since BM na namin this coming June.

    Nagstart na kami mag-box ng mga gamit na ipapaship to Oz.

    Unang masaklap na experience.
    We made use of Sevenseas service for this planned shipment. Requested for 4 empties/boxes. After filling and sealing 3 boxes, I decided to call the hotline to schedule a pickup since it will be easy to fill and seal the last box. I was asked about some certain “documents”. So I asked “Which documents?” To my shock, there is actually an online form to fill up and enter each item that the box contains —- including the material, price, qty, and whether it’s new or used. Imagine, 3 full boxes, tapos na eh. Uulitin ko na naman? This time, dapat detalyado ang bawat item and documented sa online form nila. Bakit hindi nila sinabi ito nang maaga-aga? Since wala akong choice, I will have to repeat all the 3 boxes.

    Nagpost lang to inform those who are planning to ship their belongings. Be sure you are aware of this requirement. Sayang ang oras kung mag-uulit rin kayo. [-(
