    it won't kasi business din itong sistema na ito...sana nga hinde e...not being too selfish sorry sa OT...pero eto ang naging dilemma sa SG...dumami masyado yung nakakapasok kasi open masyado...napasukan sila nang rotten tomatoes saten...hindi makapagadjust, integrate at maka sunod sa rules and regulations sa country na ito...w/c in fact happening kahit hanggang ngayon...at dumadami yung walang respeto sa kapwa...na normal practice sa PINAS, ultimately eto din yung reason bakit tayo umaalis sa PINAS, due to some norms na hindi natin gusto...i pray hindi mangyari to sa AUS although hindi to papabor mostly for some professionals na qualified...still, inexpress ko lang yung point ko...hehe..peace

    which in fact not good for us being Filipinos in general both in image at local perception...imagine hindi na for the privileged ang country na ito...kapag nangyari yun...dadami mayayabang nanaman at mga salary braggart...T_T

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...

    Please don't forget to post your results ha! Good luck! I know the feeling! Hehe..

    OTT again: Well, I'm sure this option will also make the competition tighter in Oz. I'm just hoping to have this approved as it will be easier for me to go there. Haha Although I doubt because Australia already have plenty of immigrants coming over. Anyway, in case I won't get all band 8 or 7 this time in IELTS, I might try this WH in NZ. Lol

    sure...haha..hmm tip ko sayo ate...CAMBRIDGE 1-9 lang...shoot na sa balde yan madam...

    dito lang may 40 points kana under listening...at reading, writing is innate so either matyaga ka magpush further through sa included PDF for madam imeetlr

    things should be easier from here on...trust me...cambridge 1-5 lang ako then naglalaro ako dota...d naman sa pagmamayabang pero based on experience yung listening part almost the same...akala ko pa nga similar siya sa one of those cambridges recording though hindi ko marecall alin dun pero sobrang parehas ultimo flow...

    yung nasa likod ko childcare teacher laglag daw siya sa listening kasi hindi siya naghanda...masyado raw thick yung accent...not the case for me...kasi i got a week to prepare and come fight night...readyng ready ako yun lang may doubts kasi yung writing at speaking

    di ko pa din masabi hopefully makapasa pero everything is based on experience...: )

    yun malinbre part ang matindi dun...HAHA, sige sir basta ba ikaw pakners in crime ko pagdating dun mangspot nang mainit at matitindi...wala publema HAHA

    hmm, vetassess ko kakaacknowledge lang nang docs, so ielts lang talaga halos sabay sabay na nga...medyo kabado lang kasi, siyempre after nang exam normal lang siguro naiisip mo talaga lagi...

    tiwala lang ako sa sarili ko na nagawa ko maayos, pero publema sana may puso magcheck nang exam ko...at yung british na naginterview saken, though nakakadistract sya bukod sa babae siya, matangkad pa saken...btw papaano ba nila ginagauge yung speaking exam?

    paano kung at conversationalist ka pero may punto talaga sa question hindi mo masagot na tipong nagfifillers kasi technical yung tanong singit singit pero walang AH UM HM shoot kaya to?...salamat sa makakaenlighten..

    GT lang dapat ako pero academic na take ko. Mas mahirap reading yata ng academic. I think sufficient na yung samples sa cambridge. Gamit ka lang mga 2-3 volumes cguro

    Ang main purpose tlaga is holiday. Usually mga caucasians napapansin ko gumagawa nyan mahilig kasi sila mag bacpackers and they actually took long time off sa work coz they can afford to do it. Then ung work sideline nila for new adventures na din and ofcourse pambawas sa gastusin din nila. Mostly alam ko work nila is odd jobs like fruit picking, cleaners, etc. Not sure kung pwede ka magwork dito sa profession mo or office based under this scheme like those with usual work permit visa. Interesting how Filipinos will maximise this opportunity.

    Yes most of the Caucasians really love to travel they invest huge amount of money on their holidays, yung 3 kong Aunts puro Caucasians ang kabiyak and travelling is important part of their lives. Ngayon din dito sa atin dumadami na sila di lang Caucasians marami pang ibang lahi, kaya nagkaron ang Eat Bulaga ng ForeigNoy na contest. :P Nakakatuwa din sila gustong gusto nila ang Pinas. Naku off topic na ito.

    Yes sis I know about Australia's working holiday visa. What I meant to say was hopefully they'll open this to Filipinos too!! Lol I think this is the easier and better option than applying for a tourist visa. :) Under tourist, you aren't allowed to work right. Well, off topic again sorry!! :)
