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..

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..

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
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

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!

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.

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..

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

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.

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.
