    hope to see you next year sa darwin.

    currently nasa cairns kami ng asawa ko. Nacontact nya yung auntie nya dito and she told us to visit her before kami punta ng darwin.

    :D

    so dito na kami until feb (so naghahanap na lang nga mga trabaho para pang 1month accomodations and plane fare to darwin) hirap few weeks na kami wala pa rin mga raket. But good thing lang na is marami kilala si auntie kaya connect2x sa mga pinoy dito. So hopefully after dec meron na mga raket na makuha namin.

Currently im in Singapore with my family. Bale 312111 (archi draftsperson) code ko. Me mga few inquiries lang po ako and hopefully I can get some advise from you guys especially sa mga kakarating lang at andun na s NT.
    1. Health insurance for me, wife and 3 year old daughter - 489 kasi wala pa medicare. Any sugggestions po kung anu best insurance and policies.
    2. price range of accomodation and best location for accomodations in Darwin.
    3. Job opportunities - napansin ko po sa mga job links e mejo konti sa occupation ko. I would like to ask you guys with the same occupation kung anu status ng hiring jan sa NT.

    Hope to meet you all in NT. Good luck to all of us and God bless!

    1.) using allianz kasi kasali sa student visa namin (not sure if with CDU) basta yung ang kasama.

    try this one

    http://ovhcallianzassistance.com.au/

    2.) sa accomodations, near city CBD mahal, kung sa inyo 2bedroom house around 400-600 per week.

    currently living near the city 250 (couple) per week kami. Hanap pa ako na malilipatan near school para wala problema si wiffey.

    3.) palakasan din dito, specially kung di pwede full time like us. Pero kung ikaw pwede mag fulltime just submit any work.

    coles, woolies, maccas (macdo),
    Top End Consulting, Chandler Macleod (agencies)

    GL!

    check out mo yung website ng coles at woolies

    http://www.woolworths.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/webSite/Woolworths/

    http://www.coles.com.au/

    meron din sila app on google play and itunes app store.

    okay lang naman pag special para makamura.

    sa bus fare 3$ for 3hrs (pero kagaya natin student 7$ 1week na card) so pagdating nyo punta agad school and get the school id.

    for clothes http://www.bigw.com.au/

    meron din pinoy market dito sa rapid creek so pag ma miss ang pinoy de lata duoon pero syempre mahal.

    miss ko na ang tender juicy hotdog natin.

    sa 1st sem wala naman silang uniform.

    then yung cp nyo pala dapat openline.

    what we did after nakahanap ako ng work, was get a post paid line (kasi 30$ kung prepaid monthly) then getting a s4 for 35$ monthly (so parang 5$ lang ang phone mo)

    @markjohn mahihirapan nga nga magqualify ng bridging course usually kasi hahanapan ka ng experience as RN. Magenrol ka na nga lang ng bachelor.
