    Good luck @Bongangela1985 and see you in Brisbane soon.. hindi ako sa South Brisbane ngwowork kaya di ko masagot kung okay ba dun sa profession natin.. pero in general mahirap humanap ng work as Med Lab Scientist kse konti ang opening at madaming nag-aapply na locals at mga foreigners na dito nag-aral.. kaya nag-apply ako sa lahat ng job openings as MLT at MLS sa 3 big cities -Sydney, Melbourne at Brisbane.. kung sino mauna maghire dun ako..

    After one week na ma-release yung visa namin nakakuha ako ng 2 interviews offshore.. isa sa Melbourne at isa sa Brisbane.. kaya ngpunta ako agad dito sa Brisbane kse ngmamadali sila na mag-interview and eventually un ang napasa ko na interview..

    more than a month na akong nagwowork.. pero continuous pa din ung pag-aapply ko sa Melbourne kse dun tlaga ang target namin na magsettle down.. sa simula ang napag-usapan namin ni hubby kahit saang State muna basta makakuha ng local experience..

    @Anino78 so far wala pa naman ako na-experience na baha at cane toads.. yung baha kse hindi nmn every year bumabaha.. pag may malakas na bagyo lang like nung 2011.. pero twice na akong naka-experience ng malakas na ulan na mala-bagyo.. hehehe..

    I've been to Melbourne at Sydney na din.. sa tatlong city itong Brisbane ang pinaka-okay ang weather.. parang Tagaytay.. kaso maliit lang CBD nila compared sa Melbourne at Sydney..

    Sydney mejo crowded na at mahal na ang bahay.. so hindi n namin naging target n dun magsettle down.. okay sana sa Melbourne.. parang Europe pero maulan at mas malamig kesa dito sa Brisbane.. kaso bigger city at mas maraming opportunities sa Melbourne.. kaya nagta-try ako makakuha ng job dun.. sana makalipat ako dun soon..

    @raspberry0707 Thanks. Napanuod ko sa youtube meron din hail storm recently nung nov 2014 lang. Na-experience nyo na ba ung hailstorm dyan?
    ngayong papasok na ang summer dyan mainit na ba? or parang tagaytay pa din ang weather.

    Sensya na nagreready lng kasi kami. Baka mid next year kasi kami pumunta dyan. Salamat uli.

    @raspberry0707
    Welcome to Brissy. How are you finding it so far? Saan po kayo dito? Pa lapit na summer kaya mainit na.

    @Anino78
    Cane toads? Hindi naman new zealand ang brisbane na puro damo at baka, haha :p
    High tech naman ang Brissy, meron kaming ubereats at fiber internet :)

    Baha? Hmm, I guess I'll tell my mates na careful sila sa pinas kasi madalas ang yolanda dun. Sorry to sound sarcastic but dude, that's once in a blue moon. The weather here is pretty boring, uulan 5-10minutes lang. Hindi mu man lang ma enjoy yung mood ng coffee/tea blanket at netflix may araw na. Pag nandito ka na, dito mu ma-mi-miss ang ilang araw na pag-ulan at tampisaw sa baha :)

    @Davidx23 hehehe oks lng bro. I asked about cane toads is because from what I read in some forums/ blogs na nagkalat cane toads dyan, well maybe in those rural places maybe.

    about the weather, mainit po ba sobra specially during summer? 30-40deg celcius temp? pag winter hows the temperature naman po? been to sydney during summer and medyo nalalamigan ako pag bumaba na ung temp ng 20deg hehehe.

    Just thinking na brisbane's weather is just nice for my mom kc nilalamig din sya sa sydney kahit na summer.

    Thanks mate!

    It's warmer here compared in Sydney. Once ko lang na experience yung 40deg nung 2008 or 2009 but dry ang climate which is better kumpara sa atin. Winter, depende sa tao yan ako yung pinaka malamig na winter eh tshirt at jacket. I can still sweat at 16-18deg with normal walking. Kaya kung climate, perfect ang brisbane kinda boring if you ask me.

    Nice thanks mate for those infos.

    Hahaha we're still contimplating whether to go to sydney after fullfilling our 2 years commitment to queensland. if we enjoy brisbane then we might stay. Pero actually I prefer a boring relax lifestyle kesa sa city fast pase. I still prefer to cycle than go malling.

    There's little reason to go malling these days - online shopping, paid parking, netflix. Wala ring masarap na kainan sa malls at least may ubereats, foodora, menulog.

    @Bongangela1985 oo sis.. 1 week after namin makuha yung visa ngpasa na ko ng resume online nung nsa Thailand pa ako.. nakakuha naman ako ng interview after 1 week ng pag-aapply.. pinapunta agad ako sa Brisbane. Tapos after another 1 week nakakuha naman ako ng interview sa Melbourne. So from Brisbane ngfly ako to Melbourne for the interview. Pero ung sa Brisbane yung napasa ko. So I worked sa Brisbane for 2 months as Casual Full-time, then nakakuha ulit ako ng bagong interview at job offer as Permanent Full-time sa Melbourne, so ngaun nasa Melbourne na ako.

    Possible naman makakuha ng job offshore, basta matyaga ka lang magrevise ng cover letter para mapansin yung application mo. Yung cover letter ko paiba iba depende sa job opening na inaapplyan. Kelangan i-highlight mo ung experience mo na tugma dun sa job description at selection criteria.

    Tsaka ilagay mo lang sa cover letter mo na papunta ka na sa Aus next month or you can fly anytime for interview..

    Okay naman sa Brisbane.. mainit na nung umalis ako.. hindi na mala-Tagaytay.. pero hindi ako masyadong ng-adjust sa weather..

    Dito nmn sa Melbourne malamig pa din e..

    Magkaiba yung feel ng Brissy sa Melby.. kung countryside lifestyle ung hanap mo.. relaxed at slow paced.. okay sa Brissy.. pati mga locals relaxed sa work kahit toxic na.. mabagal pa din mgwork.. haha! At pag sinabi ng ka-meeting mo na 9am.. 10am or 11am na sila darating.. ganon sa Brissy.. haha! Mas madami din mga puti sa Brissy compared sa ibang lahi..

    Dito sa Melby parang Europe kse yung mga buildings at yung weather.. bigger city din dito at halo halo yung mga tao.. madaming Asians at madaming students kse madaming magandang Universities dito.. pero nakakalungkot ung weather nila.. malamig, cloudy, windy tapos madalas umulan.. may areas din na magulo kse madaming itim.. :S

    Hi @cheskaa

    Nasa Thailand ako nung ngprocess ng assessment for AIMS at ng-apply ng exam for Med Lab Scientist.

    Pero umuwi ako sa Pinas to take the exam kse walang MLS exam ang AIMS sa Thailand. Sa Pinas na din ako nglodge ng visa. Pero online lang nmn paglodge ng visa. Then bumalik ako sa Thailand at dun na nghintay ng result.

    15 months bago kami na-grant ng visa. Namuti na mata namin kakahintay. Haha! Dumaan pa kse sa security check yung hubby ko.. from Middle East kse cia.

    Salamat @raspberry0707 ! Kinakabahan ako kung pano uumpisahan ang pagapply namin magasawa. Iniisip ko kasi if dito kami sa Thailand magapply or umuwi nalang muna kami. Student Visa naman ang pagaaplyan ko. Naghahanap ako ng mga dito naglodge kung may nakatulong ba sakanila or nagapply sila by themselves.

    Hi guys. Nakapaglodge na po kami last 24 dec 16 and now waiting for visa grant. QA/QC Engineer po ako and my wife is a Quantity Surveyor. Our 2 kids were also included sa visa application.

    We are planning to migrate to QLD once at least isa samin ni mrs eh makakuha ng work offshore( currently we are in Singapore)

    Worst come 2 worst eh we will migrate in mid of this year then makikipagsapalaran jan.

    Any suggestions po kung saan sa QLD ok magstay? Preferably ung may filipino community kase wala po kami tlga kakilala sa QLD. thanks!

    @jenipet20, @richiedpogi, @Anino78

    all suburbs in QLD meron Pinoy for sure, from the farthest region to the lowest part of QLD meron. All places in QLD is ok na tirhan, dependent yan sa inyo kung ano ang hanap, if you are into party, gimmick or the likes, city living (brisbane, gold coast, sunshine coast) or if you want a peaceful, quiet place, you go to regions. The best region after Brisbane is Toowoomba, you can google the place. Affordable houses and living conditions, weather is nice (not this time - summer). Definitely so many Pinoys, Toowoomba have i think 2 or 3 Pinoy priest.

    You don't need to have kakilala in a place to begin your life, all you need is the strong will to survive and face the world, you'll meet Pinoys for sure, a simple pagbati and Kumusta will be the beginning of things.
