Admin

Para sa mga nasa OZ na old and New, Anu sa tingin nyo pwede natin implement na application or section sa PinoyAU.info para maging useful sa daily activity nyo dyan? News Section? Blog feature? Buy and Sell application for pinoys sa OZ?

Nice thread for further enhancements of this site. Wala pa ako sa OZ pero share ko lang. I'm also member of other pinoy migration forums particularly lbautista.proboards (canada), pinoysg (singapore), pinoykiwi (nz), this forum (australia) and sometimes sa pex.

Mga favorite kong sections are:

Sa Lbautista forum

"Taste of canada" mga photos sa Canada/ beautiful scenaries segregated in to different states (bc, alberta, etc). Gusto ko tong section na to kasi makikita mo talaga ung magagandang lugar sa bansa/ states na un. Nakaka-engganyo and iba kasi yung galing sa members na kilala mo compared sa nsa youtube lang or google image.

"EB's and Get Together" organised per year. includes pictures din ng attendees and activities.

"Other side of the Coin". Nandito ung bad sides ng bansa or ano ba dapat i-expect (i.e. racism, hardships in work/ money/ etc, crimes, culture differences, bullying, panget na ugali na nakukuha ng anak sa kultura ng bansa, problema sa tsismosang kapitbahay, etc). Syempre no country is perfect so nandito ung balancing side para sa mga nagbabalak palang magmigrate. Malaking bagay ung personal experiences ng mga datihan na.

"Landed successfully: mission accomplished" section for success stories ng mga bago at datihan nang migrants. including hardships and perserverance. Pansin ko lang kasi sa Canada thread sandamakmak ang hardships ng mga bago plang, then mostly dumadaan sa depressions/ confusions sa decisions nila, then eventually acceptance then happiness. Mga ganun klasi ng stories, dito sa forum meron man pero bihira or baka ganun talaga kahirap dun. Kakatuwa magbasa, kasi pati ultimo songs na napapakinggan nila (i.e. the journey ni lea salonga) nairerelate nila sa pinagdadaan nila, iniwang magandang buhay/ trabaho sa pinas or something. Siguro pwede din dito mga blogs section.

"buy and sell" section, lalo na sa mga bagong dating. mga furnitures, gadgets, etc.

Sa Pinoy SG

"Kwentong Atin" - Anything goes. Kahit anong kwento, kulitan, moving to another countries, opinions, etc.

"Legal Information" - di ko naman to favorite pero meron section sa mga gusto humingi ng advise sa scammers, attys, etc. i dunno if useful.

"Investments" - section na dedicated talaga sa mga mahilig sa investments (properties in oz, ph or other places, stocks, etc)

"Loose talk, chat and off-topic" - blockbuster thread sa pinoysg. madalas ng mga luma or datihan na tambay dito pati bago. Kahit anong kalokohan or maisip nilalagay dito.

"Filipino Group/ Communities" - dedicated section/ tambayan sa mga various groups. maybe ung mga pinoy sydnysiders, melbournians, basketball club, accountants, engineers, it pips, etc. pwede dito. Yung iba gusto nila may sarili silang tambayan. lalo na pag marami na forumers ang pinoyau. Sa pinoysg meron kaming dedicated dati na section yung PinoyDotaSg.

"Other Hobbies and Interest" - cooking section, travel adventure (including temp visa application sa ibang bansa), health and fitness, music instruments, painting, camera club, etc

"Affairs of the Hearth" - para sa mga may tanong sa usaping pagibig at puso hehehe

Ano pa ba, yan lang muna. hehe

Nice idea @admin...

Pansin ko lang kasi konti lang ang mga tao who stay in the forum after getting their visa; hopefully putting up these will make the forum more active even after they have landed here in Oz.

Pwede bang location map ng mga member ng forum.. this will be helpful to identify kung sinong tiga rito na parehong location or suburb...ex. Map ng NSW.. then may pin yung location mga member.. 😃

mahirap ata ito... this is private information you are talking about.

i'm thinking kahit na di exact location.. kahit na suburb lang..

pero if you guys think na it will create an issue.... forget my suggestion na lang.. 😃

@TasBurrfoot Yeah napansin ko rin d na bumabalik pag nasa OZ na. iilan lang ang matyaga bamabalik para sumilip ng site like kayo ni la boss JC at KST. Maybe because most topic is related to migration? will try to add more fun stuffs for the OZ residents

@vhoythoy nice ideas! will see how to implement those. ung mga mabibilis implement natin asap. Thanks for the suggestions.

@multitasking naisip ko rin yan before, but like TasBurrfoot, baka mag karon ng privacy issue. but good idea, thanks sa suggestion i appreciate the effort.

Yep most likely. Kasi ako kahit wala na sa isip ko talaga masyado singapore, canada or new zealand nalilibang parin ako magbrowse sa mga ibang forums na yan pero ang sections na binabasa ko is hindi na about migration processing kundi yung mga nabanggit ko sa taas. Yung iba cguro after makatapos kadalasan nagiging busy na sa work/ life and tinatamad na din sumagot sa mga tanong ng newbies. Kaya maganda may mga sections na kakaiba. We can try similar sections as above then maybe add something unique in the future. Sabi nga ng boss ko, dont reinvent the wheel. We can learn from those existing successful forums.

hello @Admin

for me, the next information i needed after visa grant are accommodation and job opportunities. if meron cguro way na ma-streamline naten yung needs ng mga members, i think they would be more active... like for me, i visit less than before kac wala naman ako mahanap na mga members maxado na same field ko who can help me network and gain possible job opportunities...

for those who are already in OZ naman, cguro magiging active cla if meron na groups for certain activities na pinagkakabalahan nla..

pag visit kac ng site, puro discussions agad... tapos yung mga discussions sana na makakarelate ako wala xa at first glance.. natatabunan ng pinaka-recent or most active discussion.. so search pa ako to find if there are such discussions... mas maganda cguro na yung parang bulletin is for announcements and all para d xa natatabunan.. then sa sides yung streamline of needs na.. like starting with the application, job opportunities, activities, etc.
