Counting down to the big move - DITO tayo...

wizardofOz · April 2015

@piglet24 pampa-kalma daw ang honey.. hingi ka kay pooh..

pero kidding aside... nagkaroon din ako ng ganyang phase, after few weeks nung magrant ako ng visa...

saka nagsink-in na back to zero ako when I move there and need to find work, etc...

pero medyo naka-get past na din ako doon.. naisip ko ngayon is I was blessed to be given this chance, and never naman tayo pababayaan ng Diyos..

Kaya keeping the optimism and faith alive!

@toking Bro I think kung 1 month na since nag-medical baby nyo, pwede nang magfollow-up kasi wala naming masyado holidays ngayon sa Oz na magk-cause ng backlog, unlike nung towards the end of 2014 na medyo na-delay yung visa issuance dahil daw sa holidays both with DIBP and MOC if ever man may na-refer na medicals..

@wizardofOz bro, ang sabi kasi ng agent namin 4-8weeks daw ang processing ng medicals. sabi nya after 2months at wala pa eh magfollow-up na daw sila. pero sa lagay now na summer hotness ang panahon eh nakakainip ng magantay. haha kaya gusto kong kulitin yung agent na magfollow-up na this week. baka kasi narefer nga sa MOC ung medicals namin lalo na G6P deficient and baby namin. sa tingin mo bro? ipa-follow ko na sa kanya? salamat ulit.

Ah bro kung merong referral to MOC baka it might take some time nga…

Yung sa case ng friend ko kasi September 2014 sila nag-lodged, then yung sa kanya may history kasi sya ng TB, then antagal din nila naghintay, pero na-grant din naman later on January 2015

So mukhang na-refer yung Medical nya, although sa eMedical hindi updated ang status, ‘Complete’ ang nakalagay…

Ngayong May, papunta na sila sa Brisbane hehehehe

Pero baka yung sa inyo one of these days meron nang grant yan

@wizardofOz: Thanks bro. I know things will work out fine. May plano si Lord sa lahat. kahit now while we are still here in Abu Dhabi daming changes I know its a lot to cope up with pero faith lang. go lang ng go.

Tama ka, the opportunity to live and take root to another country is a blessing, treat it as it is. Daming gusto magmigrate pero some are having difficulty.

*sigh* kaya natin to!

35 weeks to go!!!

Planning our BIG move on January 2016. No fixed date yet but most probably end of the month. Nakaka-inip kasi excited kana mag-move, kaso kelangan pa mag-ipon ng konti para may bala during job hunting.

Para matikman ang Oz, plan namin mag initial entry sa Perth by July. Hopefully matuloy.

@vhoythoy how are you? are you now in AU?

Yup currently settling down. Started applying last week pero isa plang interview. Iba ung feeling kapag papunta ka plang and iba na din kapag nandito ka na. Magbaon ng maraming patience at tatag ng loob pagpunta dito. Mag prepare din talaga financially. Another important thing, learn how to drive! and get drivers license. Hehe, hirap mag commute commute dito

melvinrose · May 2015

God bless you on your job hunting. Ako naman 3rd week ng June punta Sydney.

@piglet24 kamusta ang big move?

FrenchMilk · October 2015

congrats sa mga nakapag "big move" na. overwhelming pala talaga. plan ko early next year. i think ang pinakamahirap for me is yung emotional aspect lalo na yung mga loved ones mo na iiwan mo sa PH. share naman kayo ng experience niyo how to make it less stressful and painful para sayo and your loved ones na maiiwan.

kaka excite naman magbasa po sa big move. Just got our visa granted yesterday. Di ko alam uunahin ko planuhin kaya mahaba haba basahin din eto. SG po ako work, Spass holder umuuwi ng pinas every 2 months ( thanks sa company ko lagi ako pinapayagan ) na miss ko kasi family ko lagi. Since 2009 pa ang pagaayos namin ng documents sumasablay kasi sa IELTS, tapos nabuntis si misis, naubos ipon till dec 2014 nagtry ulit ng IELTS at di ulit nakuha ang points na kailagan. Frustrated na si misis at ayaw na nya mag-retake at dahil sa pagkukumbinse ko at pinagaawayan namin nag focus talaga sya at nag review every sunday before taking the exam. Ayun nasungkit din ang ALL 7... Then before we lodge ITA bigla naman naging pro-rated naman ang Skill namin with 60 points ang hirap after few months we gained 5 points. We waited 10 months to get the invitation. Then lodge visa na.. SInce last week para ako bilasa isda na hindi mapakali at lutang. Yesterday my wife called me and said may problema sa medical! good thing it was a joke.. Now eto lutang din sa excitement.
Can't wait to be with my family yung tipo pagluluto mo sila, play basketball with my eldest, cuddle with my bunsoy and hugs everyday for my wife. Things money can't buy ika nga..

I feel blessed already for having healthy wife and kids but this visa is a big bonus for us hoping someday when I am not here on planet earth my APO's will say, Thank you kay lolo at lola for not giving up their Australian dream. Sharing my happiness to all of you
