@Bryann full license ba balak mo kunin?

hotshot

Just took the RTA Knowledge test kanina, thank God passed naman. Isa lang mistake. Hehe. Next, driving test naman.

If bagsak ka driving test, bibigyan ka L licence. Which lets you drive, as long as meron companion with full licence. Pwede ka retake after a week ata, kapag naipasa mo na.. you get a full licence. Yun explanation sakin nun lady kanina sa RTA.

AUD 40 knowledge test
AUD 50 yun driving test
Hindi ko pa alam yun other fees, malalaman ko na lang kapag andun na ko sa stage na picture picture at kunin ang actual licence.

pa-share naman po ng reviewer nyong ginamit (kung meron).

watching the wandering wildlife with david ireland, i have learned that in the beaches there are sharks in the water or snakes on land:( the scenes were filmed near brisbane (queensland area) . there were beach houses along the beach then there was a diamond python on the grass... a really big one at that:(

then road trip along ACT to NT, snakes on the trees:( poisonous lizards along the road..

there are ravens that can peck your eyes out... o,0 they get shot by farmers cause they peck the eyes of the lambs in farmlands.

if out camping (anywhere in australia), hang your shoes/ or check before wearing them.. 2000 people all over the world die every year from scorpion bites sleeping in footwear

stay away from ants found in nature cause australia has meat eating ants...X,x


it's so different from nz.. in nz , it's snake free/ scorpion free/ pest free.. wala nga rats in nz until european settlers came.

but in oz.. lahat ng poisonous snakes/ lizard and scorpions plus scorpion fish that have neurotoxins from their spines meron..sting ray (that killed steve irwin), electric eels, sea urchins... enjoy the nature tripping guys:D

Pinas ba yan? Ang pila sa atin kasi imbis na humahaba, kumakapal sa harap haha...hay kelan kaya tayo didisiplina

@li_i_ren yan din sabi ng aussie boss namin...yung mga gagamba, pating natin dito walang binatbat sa mga nasa Australia. Parang lahat na lang ng hayop at insekto diyan nakakamatay hehe

li_i_ren

@LokiJr kaya pa la commercial sa t.v. daming insecticide commercials.. yung spray mu sa whole house then it's good for 3 months. my other friend always freaks out kasi naman yung spiders in her place.. she lives in a house with a garden.. are as huge as her hand! hahahha! i don't know if they are poisonous pero ang hirap naman it's not like we know which was is and which one isn't..hehehe!

icebreaker1928

uber exag naman yan li_i_ren...
kagagaling ko lang sa isang campsite last week... as in gubat din at wala na signal ang phone.
nagkalat ang kangaroo pag gabi... pero ni isang ahas at gagamba wala akong nakita nung nagbush walk kami...

li_i_ren

@icebreaker1928 takot sa iyo ice!!!:D hahahaha! just saw on t.v. eh.. pero in fairness..hinanap talaga nila for t.v. and they knew where to look.. they were under rocks and in trees:P

http://www.davidireland.com/ ...this is what i was watching, it's not your average camping:)


pero yung friend ko has a good collection of spiders/walking sticks photos on fb na..hehehe..every time she finds one in her doorstep/house..takes a photo/post on fb then ask if poisonous or not:D

hey whereabouts in oz can you go sand surfing? ...we've done it before in cape reinga in new zealand..im sure there was one in ozzie im not sure where... anyone?:D

Bryann

Sorry guys ngayon lang ulit nakapag-online medyo busy eh.

@arch_jeffmatt
Madali lang po, kapag nagd-drive ka na sa Pinas, for sure masasagutan mo ng tama yun mga tanong. Yun mga tanong po is yun mga nasa reviewer din. Try niyo yun online reviewer few times, ako 2 days lang nag-review. Hehe.

@icebreaker1928
Yup full licence, hindi na tayo dadaan ng P licence. Kapag bumagsak ka, bibigyan ka L licence. Tapos pwede ka ulit re-take after few weeks. Kapag nakapasa ka driving test --> full licence agad.

@hotshot
Ito nga pala ginamit ko reviewer.

icebreaker1928

@Bryann pano yung actual? Tingin mo kelangan magdrive muna ng kotse para praktis o kht nde na? Wala kc ako oto peram muna haha...

LokiJr

@li_i_ren and there goes my dreams of lying on the grassfields of Australia...hehe kakatakot@

li_i_ren

@LokiJr maling country ka ata loki.. yung grass sa australia is very rough and dry. hahahah! kasi ma init dito... yung sa cricket field or rubgy field and well maintained parks (hindi pa lahat may areas lang) maganda ang grass.. pero generally rough yung grass dito. trust me i know kasi sa nz... the grass is super green and soft:D h ahahaha!

LokiJr

@li_i_ren hehe oo nga e...gusto ko lang iliteral yung kasabihang 'moving to greener pastures' e kung puros nakakamatay na alakdan at gagamba lang pala dadatnan ko sige, sa bahay na lang ako magkukulong haha

Bryann

@icebreaker1928
Ah maganda practice ka muna, hehe. Practice lang okay na. Unlearn mo lang yun mga bad habits.

Okay naman yun iba na grass dito. Two weeks ago nga pala naglaro kami ng Lawn Bowls. Haha. Enjoyable din naman siya, kakatuwa. Nakayapak lang kami lahat, sarap pala naka-paa lalo na mainit yun semento.

@Bryann nakakailan drive na din ako dito sa melbourbe using my phil lic pero parang kulang pa din ako ng confidence pagdating ng actual driving. Naduduwag ako kasi syempre hindi acceptable yung most of our ways sa pagdrive sa pinas. Sana maksipon ako ng lakas ng loob to overcome my fear of flanking the actual test. Kasi nakatanim na sa utak ko na madami daw nahirapan kumuha ng lic na galing pinas dahil sa nakasanayan dun.

LokiJr

mahirap ba driving exam diyan? hehe

hindi lang sa pinas. kahit yung mga officemate ko dito na chinese pati russian mga after 2 actual driving test pa bago nakapasa. hehehe. advice sakin nila pili daw ko yung madaling drive road test.. sa frankston daw kasi malawak at halos deretso lang yung kalsada. hehehe. at kunti lang mga sasakyan.

Hello po! after one month, may work na po ako! eto po ang tips ko based on experience! pero to each, his own!
(1) kung naghahanap k p lng work, ke may pera ka or wala (own opinion), at malakas k p naman, magpart time k ng weekend. parang langgam lang. ipon ipon for the rainy day (naglilinis po ako ng house every saturday and tuloy tuloy pa rin kahit na may work na ko hanggat wala pa dito si hubby and ang doggie ko)
(2) gandahan mo ang cv to the nth power. hindi lang job description. ung kakaiba ba. more on achievements. kunyari, ap accountant ka, wag mo lagay na nagproprocess k cherva. lagay mo ninegotiate mo ang payment terms para maimprove ang cash conversion cycle.
(3) iguage mo kng kaya mong magsettle sa trabahong inooffer sayo pero ang mga pinoy, competitive yan, smart and hardworking, nose bleed lang talaga problema ko
(4) practice lang ng practice mag english. friendly naman mga tao dito. ung mga nakikita mo sa daan n nagaadvertise, kausapin mo sila, tapos imemorize mga zingers nila. mag memorize ng phrases or sentences para mukhang totoo
(5) pinakaimportante sa lahat! kung nalulungkot ka, magpray k lang. kung down n down k, sabihin mo praise be to God! Glory to your name! Praise you! Tapos magbasa ka ng bible. maaaliw ka na, marerenew k p!
True to life lang po
