    Ang safe amount po ay 20k AUD. Ang minimum ay 10k AUD. Kung di talaga kaya ng 10k AUD dapat may kamag-anak o kaibigan kayo na magpapatira sa inyo ng libre.

    Lesson learned the hard and expensive way.

    We live in an old building. It was night time, I was cooking something in the oven and on the stove. And we were using lights, the hot water, too. Suddenly, the lights went off. Unit lang namin ang walang electricity. Husband checked the circuit breaker and tried to reset it pero walang nangyari. Had to call for an on call electrician, only for him to spend less than 15 minutes to reset the main circuit breaker of the building. Costed us $110. Ouch.

    Sabi naka limit daw ang usage per unit kasi lumang building so naka set lang to a certain amount lang per household. Ngayon, ayoko nang gumamit ng appliances ng sabay-sabay!

    Ako naman hindi maganda pagka DIY ng pagpalit ng gripo so tumawag na lang ng plumber over the weekend. Gumastos ako ng $300 rounded up.
