Filipinos in Adelaide - pasok

sohc · July 2012

@emjdee
Vodafone $59 iPhone plan gamit ko then may load na $500 + 1GB.
$0.53/minute calls to Philippines.

Most people that I know used Vodafone that's why I've chosen it.

@JanChloe & donking
Welcome to Adelaide. It's hard to find a job offshore, mostly they will entertain when your here but there's no harm on trying since others can even get employer sponsorship visa.

18 months to go for my two years bond in SA.

hi

kaka join ko lan po sa forum. adelaide bound din po ako with my family towards the end of next month. 475 visa ko po.

ICT professinal po ako more on systems analyst for banking. tanong ko lang kun ano po ba maganda strategy in getting started in looking for a job? should i start ending some cvs na ba kahit la pa ako diyan ? or pano po ba diskarte kun sakali mag send na ko resumes kasi baka di rin pansinin eh.

baka may idea lang kayo lalo na sa ICT din or actually kahit ano It related jobs or any jobs para maka start lang

Reply to @tigermj: Nagtry pala ako mgsend ng resume kahapon... Hehe not expecting anything.. Try mo lang

malay mo naman may makapansin. Pero according to friends, mas ok talaga if andun ka na.. Tapos AU address/contact number ang ilagay mo. Ung mga nakuha ko kahapon, mga auto-response emails ang nakuha ko

emjdee · July 2012

donking · July 2012

hi tiger and emjdee: Next year pa lipad namin to SA, nagsasara pa ng mga accounts and bonds. Kita kits na lang dun kasi solid naman yata ang Fil community.

@SOHC: Hi sir thanks po sa welcome. Kumusta naman po ba ngayon in Adelaide? Bitter cold na ba?

emjdee · July 2012

Hello ulit! Sorry kung parang makulit na po ako ... I just have a question regarding TFN application? Paano po ung process? Pwede po ba mag-apply in person? If yes, pwede po pashare nung process? Thanks in advance

bambina · July 2012

which part in adelaide is a great place to settle for a young family?i'd love to hear feedback from anyone about the suburb u have lived or currently residing..have heard of stories online na there are few places not really nice (?) ie elizabeth (?),some parts of salisbury (?) ,etc...

sohc · July 2012

@bambina those place are quite far from Adelaide. Actually the CBD is what they call Adelaide.
You can easily identify if the place is far by just looking at the postcode. Basically, postcode with numbers 5100 up are far places. Public transport is not that good it will take you more than an hour to go in Adelaide CBD.

I've attached Google maps. The highlighted red square is the CBD area.

sohc · July 2012

@donking
I've met some Filipino communities here and some are religious groups which I find very common in any state in Oz.

As of now winter kaya malamig nag drop one time to 1 degree but usually 6-10 degree every morning.

sohc · July 2012

to others here in Adelaide looking for cheap cinemas check out Windsor theatres. Ticket is only $8 anytime, anyday. Time to see Batman tomorrow

tigermj · July 2012

Reply to @emjdee: actually yun din isa sa mga una namin aasikasuhin ang maghanap ng accomodation kasi temp lan yun matutuluyan namin kaibigan lang ng close relative namin so kapalmuks lang muna

will give you some inputs regarding accomodation pag nakarating na kami AU hopefully maganda timing natin sa paghanap and siyempre sa paghanap work din

emjdee · July 2012

Reply to @tigermj: Sige po, salamat

hopefully nga po.. Makahanap po tau agad para mas mabilis ang pag settledown. Kitakits po

bambina · July 2012

Reply to @sohc: thank you..but just wondering if the rentals in CBD are affordable...

kit1017 · July 2012

sohc · July 2012

@kit I met someone here na nagbridging course for three months then after 2 months nagwowork na as a nurse in a hospital here in Adelaide. Very in demand ang nurse sa phone line ng Royal Adelaide Hospital lagi naka advertise ang need for nurse.

Bicolana · July 2012

Hello po musta sa lahat? I'm so glad to find this website. Ngayon lang po ako nagjoin sa forum. matagal na po akong naghahanap ng Filipino community dito sa Adelaide. My brother and his wife and daughter will be joining me here in Adelaide in September so I am very excited for them. Would be really nice to meet many Pinoys here in Adelaide. I just want to share to everyone that the Cathedral Community of St Francis Xavier Cathedral in the city will be holding a special luncheon on September 23 at 12:30pm. It would be a BYO shared lunch. I've just learned this when I attended holy mass there. Everyone is encouraged to bring a dish from their own cultural background. I am planning to attend and bring my family there and hopefully maraming Pinoy na umattend at makilala. Sana magkaroon din ng gathering ang mga Pinoys dito sa Adelaide. I hope that this luncheon gathering would be a good start. Attend po tayo para naman di lang dito sa forum tayo nag uusap usap kundi para magkitakita na din at magkakilakilala sa personal.

chesian · July 2012

Hi kabayans,
we are planning to apply for state sponsored visa in SA. Tatanong lang sana ako kung kumusta ang demand for software engineers dyan?, C#, PHP, Perl, Python ang skillset ko po.
Salamat.

rbolante · July 2012

Reply to @Bicolana: Hi and welcome dito sa forum. Where in bicol are you from? I'm a bicolano as well and i'm from Naga. I'll be moving to Adelaide with my family in January. I'm happy to know that the Filipino community in Adelaide is very much active in coming up with such events. I'd be glad to join when we get there. See you soon.

rbolante · July 2012

Reply to @chesian: hello. you can try looking at job openings in www.seek.com.au. The last time I checked meron naman demand sa skill set mo. I'm in IT as well - UNIX C/C++, shell scripting and system administration and skills ko.

emjdee · July 2012

Reply to @rbolante: Hello rbolante and bicolana! My fiance is from Bicol too. Sa Naga

hope to meet all of u when we're there already

arpiquiray · July 2012

@ Bicolana, Dyan din kami sa Cathedral sumisimba 11am mass...

Bicolana · July 2012

Reply to @arpiquiray:

Weekday ako nagsisimba sa Cathedral kasi malapit lang sa office namin. Nakita ko yung pamphlet about the gathering on Sept 23. Aattend kami and hopefully makameet ng maraming Pinoy lalo na bagong dating lang din yung brother ko and his family. Sa Sept pa dating nila. Sana magkitakita tayo....
