    ...nagustuhan ko yung sports minded na environment,
    This is exactly what I'm worried about. I have no interest in sports (people grunting and running and throwing balls have zero effect to my attention span). What if one morning I come in to work and my officemates keep blabbering about last night's kick-ball game?

    napagusapan din namin ni hubby kahapon lang. sabi ko pede naman kami kumita s pilipinas or kahit yumaman (siguro). pero ang ayaw ko s pinas e yung systema ng gobyerno at pulitika, security and safety to live at yung traffic!!!

    naranasan ko ng tumira s first world kaya parang ang hirap na babalik ng pinas for good. s oz n lang kami kasi kahit malaki un tax n babayaran, ramdam ko naman yung tax ko. makakapamuhay p ko ng gusto ko, safe kami ng pamilya ko at higit s lahat mas maganda future ng magiging mga anak ko.

    Ako magcomment ako sa topic (para hindi muna tayo malingat sa paksa)...Why Australia...because gone are the days when America is the ideal nation of the world. Pag hindi maayos ni Obama yung fiscal cliff bago magtapos ang taon na to, katakot takot na utang at recession ang raranasan ng U.S.

    That's something the Australian government has done a good job...Kontrolado ang government spending, debt to GDP, unemployment rate at inflation. So maganda ang long term prospects ng bansa..meaning kung balak niyo magmigrate, sa Australia na :)

    Why Australia? I've 'heard' na libre ang medication. Nung nanood ako ng MMK which the story was set in OZ, hindi nahirapan ung pamilya for the medical expenses for the cancer treatments o baka hindi nga lng inimphasize ang kanila financial struggles. This is one good advantage.
    In the end, sumakit puso ko. Helpless talaga tau pag cancer na or HIV kalaban natin. Sana hindi nlng lumitaw ung mga ganung illness!

    Sana mabigyan ng pagkakataon na manirahan sa Australia at magstart ng family.

    Gusto ko sa australia kasi laid back daw ang lifestyle.
    Murag magka kotse at pwede bumili ng landed na bahay.
    Gusto ko pumunta sa beach or mag bbq sa labas kung na bobored na ako sa bahay.
    Gusto ko ng normal na buhay na d lagi naka kulong sa kwarto or naghahawak ng mga gadgets hehe..
    Feel ko magagawa ko itong mga gusto ko na di na compromise ang sweldo hehe.
    Kasi pwede ko naman to gawin sa pinas yun nga lang ang liit ng sweldo.

    Primary reason ko dati is para madala ko ang parents at mga kapatid ko, pero d pala ganun ka dali. Mahirap pala sila e-sponsor. Pero wag muna problemahin yan, pag andun na saka na hehehe

    Dahil lahat ng mga inibig ko at pinag-alayan ng unrequited love ay nag migrate na rin sa OZ (choz!)





    Angkan kami ng OFW, mga magulang ko at kapatid wala rin sa Pinas. I have one sibling left sa Manila and eventually mag-aasawa din yun and maiiwan akong nag-iisa at nagdarahop (tagay!)

    Then I moved to SG years ago pero wala naman chance maging PR na and every year (or 2 years) kabado ka pa kung ma renew yung work visa mo (the govt decides if you can stay, not your employer). I love SG but I need to think long term.

    I'd dreamed of emigrating to Canada pero sarado na sila for IT.

    So dahil sa pag-ibig (na naman!) sinubukan ko ang OZ. Hope it works out when I finally move.
