Umuulan ng grants. Congratulations!!

Mukhang go na go na immigration plans ng Labor. Haha

Mukha nga. Pero sana diligently pa rin ang screening ng migrants para di naman magaya ang aus sa europe (with all due respect haha).

Hindi malabong mangyari hahaha. Pero 'wag naman sana

Magtatanong po sana. San nilalagay ung upfront na pcc? Is it under "other documents" or " character history evidence". Gusto sana namen iupload ung updated pcc pra hindi na mgsend ang CO nang s56... Tia

Either one is okay. Sa akin nilagay ko sa Character History Evidence kasama nung naunang pcc. Rename mo nlng as “…renewal”. Good enough.

Sa character history evidence ko po nilagay yung saamin before. but ensure na sa filename it shows na ito yung latest like lagyan ng date or word na updated.

As Melbourne’s summers continue to bring dry, often intense heat, many homeowners are quietly exploring practical ways to keep their spaces cool without relying on energy-heavy systems. One option that consistently emerges in local conversations is evaporative cooling installation in Melbourne, especially for those living in low-humidity areas where this system performs best. Unlike refrigerated air conditioning, evaporative coolers work by pulling in warm outside air and passing it through water-saturated pads, allowing naturally cooled air to circulate throughout the house.

A real leather jacket mens option is more than just a layer – it’s a classic piece that adds character with every wear. Its rugged charm and lasting durability make it a staple for any wardrobe.

Thank you and congrats din! Kelangan lang ba ipakita yung Grant letter sa airline check-in? As a Philippine passport holder kasi di ako sanay magtravel ng walang visa. haha
