one thing we’ve learned esp. if you’ve got kids, train them to be an independent kids as early as possible.simple things like how to tidy up their room, eat by themselves, etc. things that we thought small stuff lng pro means a lot to parents na hindi na natin gagawin..
1.5 years na kmi d2, and so far ok nman na, sanayan lang yan sbi nga nila..sa una lang may struggle kc you’re not used to it..hay buhay oz!..but we're happy of how things are goin, each day you'll learn to appreciate the value of a family and you'll be matured enough to handle circumstances..
and good thing, currently my parents are here for a year to help us out..saka ko na lng iisipin ulit kung pano na naman childcare nmin pag umuwi na cla..so for the meantime relaks-relaks muna pag may time..

100gb/100gb itong plan namin at $90/month; mahal comparatively sa binabayaran ko before sa Singapore but pwede na rin... Think this allocation should be enough tp download movies once in a while.

Documents submitted by Julie Ignacia:
REFERENCE #: ___________________
1. Visitor Visa Application (Form 48R) with passport photo
2. Manager’s cheque of Phpx,xxx for the scheduled fee made payable to Australian
Embassy
3. Passport – Julie Ignancia
4. One (1) passport sized photograph – Julie Ignacia
5. Statutory Declaration – Juan Tamad and Juana Tamad
6. Copy of Marriage Certificate - Juan Tamad and Juana Ignancia
7. Copy of Juana Ignacia – Certificate of Live Birth
8. Copy of Passport details – Juan and Juana Tamad
9. Copy of Tenancy Agreement of 11/55 Kerk St, Watsy Bay, NSW 2500
10. Copy of Juana Tamad - Payslips for the pay period 10-Nov-11 to 01-Feb-2012
11. Copy of Juana Tamad - Income Tax Notice of Assessment for the year ending 30-Jun-11
12. Copy of Juan Tamad – Income Tax Notice of Assessment for the year ending 30-Jun-11
13. Copy of Juan & Juana Tamad National Australia Bank (NAB) Statement for the period 5 June 2011 – 6 December 2012.
And other documents which you think might be of help. Walang show money mama ko dahil sinabi namin sa stat dec na we will provide return airfare, accom, shopping money, medical expenses and other incidentals.
The reason I include a marriage certificate is to show my maiden name (changed my surname when I got married and the live birth certificate will show proof of your relationship with your mother/parents. Only the marriage certificate, live birth certificate, passport details and tenancy agreement or copy of property valuation (if you own the place) are to be "certified true copy" by the Justice of Peace. The rest photocopy lang.

She probably thinks I'm this new doctor na hindi puti, na hindi alam ang ginagawa. I mean, if I were wrong, kaya ko naman tanggapin. Pero, wala ako nakitang mali kasi talaga sa ginawa ko. The thing is, there is a protocol and sinusunod ko lang naman.. I told her, it's protocol and there's nothing to know or argue about! So, ni-report ko siya. She backed off. Her nurse manager apologized. She kept her distance, parang ayaw niya na ako makabangga, hehe.
Pansin ko dito, pag palaban ka, they will back off. Also, the other Pinoy nurses told me din na ganun daw talaga ibang mga puting nurses. Pati nga sila na 5-10 years na dito, naka-experience din from colleagues.

Sa mga may kids in primary level pano po setup nyo if both parents are working fulltime? Whole day ba usually sa school? Or sa mga schools ba sa Oz may facility (like childcare) na after school dun muna magstay yung bata until sunduin ng parent?
Sending them back to Philippines is not an option for me. I badly need your inputs guys, any advice please.

Just a watch out, day care / child care centres here have usually a wait list. There are some nannys but they charge around 20-25AUD an hour. For primary level kids, yes they do have long day care din. Anong age ng kids nyo?

Ako nag-move galing SG, ang pinaka-malaking challenge is day care, bali sa inyo yung after school care siguro. Get familiar na sa work area nyo and plan kung saan kayo titira. Mdyo may kabagalan dito sa pag-kuha ng bahay, furniture, at kung ano-ano pa. You'll probably need relatives to help you, or negotiate mo yung start date mo 1 month after mag-start ang partner mo sa work. Karamihan dito sarado na by 6 pm plus bibihira ang property dito na furnished. I was able to negotiate my start date so dumating ako dito 2 weeks prior to my start date so I had enough time to buy car at mga essentials. Karamihan ng day care dito will charge you extra kung late mo ma-pick-up anak mo.
Masyado mahaba pag-sinulat ko lahat ng learning ko dito, anyhow, kung may tanong ka pa, wag ka mag-hesitate and I'd be more than happy to help.
