ako hinde exciting kaya isipin mo nalang magtotour ka lang ice hehe. Bka kaya ganyan nafefeel mo iniisip mo ung family mo sa pinas na iiwan mo. Ako since single pako ok lang saken ket san mapapadpad. Especially if you dont like where you are right now which is like my case, ive been living in Singapore for 4 years super sawa nako dito. The place is small no place to go, the food sucks, salary is low. So im looking forward to arrive at the better place I hope so. Best wishes to everyone whos heading to Au.

Bago ako lumipad papuntang disyerto noong 2007, inisip ko na kaagad yung pagbalik. Sabi ko sa sarili ko - maximum two years lang ako sa Dubai then uuwi na ako kapag nakaipon na.

Five years later, hindi ko na makita ang sarili ko na titira ulit sa Manila (no offense sa Manilenyos).

More than the uncertainty sa bago mong lilipatan, mas natatakot kang iwanan yung lugar na nakasanayan mo. In my case - homesickness, absence of rain, Jollibee withdrawal (LOL). We will adapt eventually.

@Metaform what you said is true. Ive been here in sg for 4 years, and whenever I go back to Manila for vacation, I find myself dissapointed. The same place i left still looks the same, no improvement, prices of commodities is almsot the same like here in sg but yer salary is like 3x bigger in sg. Even gas prices is the same here in Sg. Being a small country Singapore is quite asy to manage. But the reason why they are progressive is that government here is not corrupt, the prime minister's salary is like a million dollars a year or maybe a month not sure, govt officials are all overpayed, thats the reason why there would be no need for corruption anymore. Environment here is also safe, you can walk around anywhere at 1 am using yer iphone and have no fears of getting holdapped. Even if you board the bus with yer bag wide open nobody would try to steal anything from it. So comparing it to Pinas, with all the crimes going on, being all the time on guard wherever you are, low salary, it makes you not to want to go back in Pinas once you have experienced working overseas.

So for me, I just see pinas as a vacation spot nalang, to visit my family and friends there once in awhile. I cant see myself also working there with a low salary nakakapanibago un for sure. Maybe ill go back there to retire when im 60. Another dissapointing thing also is that if your a frequent traveler, you can compare Pinas to other countries. For instance, I went to Bangkok and you can see theres a lot of white tourists everywhere, bcuz their country is safe, nobody robs them. Unlike in pinas when they see white tourists first thing they think is they got money or kidnap them. Thats the reason why theres just a few white people touring pinas bcuz of safety reasons.

icebreaker1928

@stolich18 yup may work na pero mababa lang... hindi kaya bumuhay ng 2 pamilya...
pano na yung mga maiiwan ko hahahhaa...

oh well.. buti na yun kesa sa wala

aldousnow

isa pang obvious sa australian accent is wala silang "R" halimbawa, Lester ang name.. ang tawag nila dun.. "Hey Lestah!". Ang name naman na Mark.. "Hey Mahhk!" hehehe. tapos lahat ng nag eend sa "Z" nilalagyan nila ng "ed" sa huli. like yung "ANZ", tawag nila "Ey-En-Zed"

paris_hipon

@psychoboy sorry naman e ganyan xe ung accent ng bisaya ung napapanod sa tv kaya nasabe ko yan hehe

@sheep ah so same den pla ng nz accent, sa sydney ako. im half girl half boy nyahahha joke gerlalush po. my friend would be accoumpanying me for 1 week in sydney vacation lang sha then after im on my own.
