    @rukiasan - dapat pala rukiasan ang husband hehehe... sowee..

    railway engineering - perfect field for Oz! parang walang kahiraphirap itong maghanap ng trabahao kahit saan man sa Oz. Kung makakapili, palagay ko MEL pinakamaganda.. fix na kayo for MEL para start nyo ng mapagaralan ang lugar.. kung gusto nyo naman samahan kami ni @islaman, ADL na! MEL at ADL palagay ko pinaka panalong lugar. SYD lang dahil andun yung maraming trabaho pero palagay ko di nyo naman concern yun.

    kitakits rukiasan and team! official photographer ka sa upcoming meet-up natin. c

    Merry Xmas and Happy new year sa Augustinians \:D/ Kakabalik ko lang galing vacation kaya di ako nakakasagot dito. hehe.

    @rukiasan congrats. nakakatuwa nung nakita kong green na tayong lahat. its definitely a good year for all of us and i'm hoping na it will all be good again for our big move this coming year.

    nakapag PDOS na pala ako and maraming salamat sa pag share ni @mistakenidentity, really helpful yung shinare mo from timeline pati pagdala ng jacket. malamig nga, yun nga lang si wife lang ang nakapagdala ng jacket yung akin nakalimutan ko. haha.

    share ko lang pala yung nangyari sa akin nitong huling uwi ko. kumuha kasi ako ng multiple OEC dati and naiwan ko sa malaysia yung last - ulyanin na hehe. di pala magiissue ulit yung POEA ng OEC kaya gumawa pa ako ng letter sa atty para mabigyan ako ng exit clearance. Nung nasa immigration na ako, nakita ng immigration officer na meron na ako CFO sticker, tapos tinanong subclass ko tapos sabi sa akin di ko na daw kailangan ng OEC kasi immigrant na ako kasi sure naman daw babalik ako sa pinas, pero papunta ako malaysia nito. di ko nagets ibig sabihin niya, di ko na inusisa basta pinalampas niya ako ok na. hehe.

    @orangesoda hi po, wala na po syang appointment.. just go straight to the CFO office and be there an hour earlier para may ample time ka makapag register. Back read mo lng dito ang post tungkol sa CFO visit ko to give you a heads up!

    Dont be stressed out on finding a nursing job.. parang teachers lng din ang demand nyan.. meron ako kakilala na teacher and it only took her 3 days to get a teaching job upon arrival in MEL!

    Goodluck and all the best! :)

    wow.. busing-busy ang thread na 'to.. more grants for us this coming week.
    share ko lng experience ko sa CFO yesterday:
    -arrived there at around 12:30pm
    -sa information counter hiningan kami ng grant letter at yung passports namen.
    -chineck ni officer at nagpaiwan ng valid ID (SSS ID ni misis ang binigay namen)
    -binigyan kami ng grey colored ID na may malaking letter 'A' na nakaprint
    -binigyan kami ng queue number
    -nagfill up kami nung information sheet ng CFO (advisable if you download and complete this before going to CFO to save time) while waiting for our number to be flashed on the lcd screen in front of the counters
    -15-20mins later, our number was called and proceeded to window2 to have our docs checked (completed CFO info sheet, passport size photo, passport, photocopy of passport and grant letter.. if you have kids included in the application also provide an extra passport photocopy of either mom or dad to each kid's docs as a requirement)
    -after checking all required docs we proceeded to the cashier for payment (P400 per emigrant -bata man o matanda, may ngipin o wala)
    note: your passports will not be returned to you at this point. it will only be returned right after the seminar.
    -we proceeded to the 2nd floor - Canada room after hearing the announcement that this will be the room where all AU and NZ emigrants will have their PDOS.
    -the seminar was from 2-4pm and consisted of videos and oral discussion from a very competent lecturer
    -at exactly 4pm, the seminar ended and our passports already stamped with the golden cfo sticker were distributed
    note: double check the spelling of your names and make sure the cfo sticker with the emigrant's name corresponds to the passport holder
    -proceeded to robinsons malate and ate like a viking hahaha

    @orangesoda hi po, wala na po syang appointment.. just go straight to the CFO office and be there an hour earlier para may ample time ka makapag register. Back read mo lng dito ang post tungkol sa CFO visit ko to give you a heads up!

    Dont be stressed out on finding a nursing job.. parang teachers lng din ang demand nyan.. meron ako kakilala na teacher and it only took her 3 days to get a teaching job upon arrival in MEL!

    Goodluck and all the best! :)

    wow.. busing-busy ang thread na 'to.. more grants for us this coming week.
    share ko lng experience ko sa CFO yesterday:
    -arrived there at around 12:30pm
    -sa information counter hiningan kami ng grant letter at yung passports namen.
    -chineck ni officer at nagpaiwan ng valid ID (SSS ID ni misis ang binigay namen)
    -binigyan kami ng grey colored ID na may malaking letter 'A' na nakaprint
    -binigyan kami ng queue number
    -nagfill up kami nung information sheet ng CFO (advisable if you download and complete this before going to CFO to save time) while waiting for our number to be flashed on the lcd screen in front of the counters
    -15-20mins later, our number was called and proceeded to window2 to have our docs checked (completed CFO info sheet, passport size photo, passport, photocopy of passport and grant letter.. if you have kids included in the application also provide an extra passport photocopy of either mom or dad to each kid's docs as a requirement)
    -after checking all required docs we proceeded to the cashier for payment (P400 per emigrant -bata man o matanda, may ngipin o wala)
    note: your passports will not be returned to you at this point. it will only be returned right after the seminar.
    -we proceeded to the 2nd floor - Canada room after hearing the announcement that this will be the room where all AU and NZ emigrants will have their PDOS.
    -the seminar was from 2-4pm and consisted of videos and oral discussion from a very competent lecturer
    -at exactly 4pm, the seminar ended and our passports already stamped with the golden cfo sticker were distributed
    note: double check the spelling of your names and make sure the cfo sticker with the emigrant's name corresponds to the passport holder
    -proceeded to robinsons malate and ate like a viking hahaha

    share ko lang yung mga nabasa ko regarding sa pag register sa medicare safety net:

    http://www.mbsonline.gov.au/internet/mbsonline/publishing.nsf/Content/Factsheet-NewMedicareSafetyNet

    http://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/forms/sn1

    hindi siya automatic so it is preferable na magregister after kumuha ng medicare. pashare nalang po ng experience nila after magregister, malamang mauuna kayo sa akin :)

    - wala pang plane tickets, wala pang matirhan; March ko na siguro isipin hehe...

    @magoo_z lapit na a! parang ilang tulog nalang. hehe.

    share ko lang yung naresearch ko for telegraphic transfer from pinas to au, although puro kayo taga SG. hehe.

    BDO
    - $10 fixed charge + 1.5% swab fee
    - preferrable na USD ang pera kasi pag Peso madami daw requirements and approval.

    BPI
    - PHP600 fixed charge + documentary stamp of 30 cents per 200 pesos

    Westpac
    - $12 per transaction ang receiving charges nila.

    @magoo_z - for sure di bata mahihirapan kasi hindi mga lamigin yang mga yan... mga matatanda ang mabilis lamigin based on experience... :)

    halos sabay lang din tayo, winter din. pero yung initial entry nyo ng March mukhang autumn pa yan... maganda daw sa MEL at ADL pag autumn , sana maenjoy nyo.

    @RED pre kelan naman kayo? di ba parang June or July din kayo? Andun na yung muse natin nauna na @islaman. Gaganda ng mga pics sa FB, nangiinggit LOL!!!
