Pero meron akong kakilala n nakatira sa south melbourne, hind cya RN at ng aral lng cya ng aged care cert 3 for 1month. Pgktpos n pgktpos nya ng aged care cert 3 ay tanggap cya agad s isang homes s north melbourne. Isipin nyo kung gano kalayo ang south melbourne s north melbourne, bkit don cya s north napasok at hndi s south..Kasi ay meron ngpasok s knya n nurse don s homes s north melbourne. Yan po ang tinatawag na suwerte, ung may taga loob na magpapasok sayo.
Gaya po ng sabi ko, base lang po sa karanasan ang payo ko sa una kong post. At ito po ay ibinabahagi ko bilang malasakit sa mga kababayan natin na ngbabalak pumunta d2 s melbourne s pamamagitan ng student visa. Ganyan po ang labanan dito, hindi ko po kyo dini-discourage nagmamalasakit lang po.

Sana tayo na mga Pinoy dito mn sa Melbourne magtulungan tayo. Hindi nmn 24/7 atin lng ang shift sa trabaho. Share sana natin sa iba na nangangailangan din.
By the way, to those who are in Melbourne at naghahanap pa rin ng trabaho meron po akong alam na trabaho preferably male on a dependent student visa. konti nga lng ang rate pero kahit papano makakatulong na rin sa expenses. PM me kung sino ang interested.

Anyway, personal issues nyo yan ng kamag anak mo, and I feel sad for your circumstance......but I feel that hindi naman obligado ang kamag anak na tumulong because they have their own problems (that's one good thing I learned when I left Phil)....and let us remind ourselves that they can only recommend pag may opening.... and lahat naman (or 90% siguro) ng bagong dating dito dumadaan sa mga challenges na pinag dadaanan nyo. But eventually, malalagpasan nyo rin yan if you persist. After few years, you could look back and say it's all worth it. All the best.

On one hand realidad yun based on his own experience... on the other hand, it should not discourage us, whether SV or PR, na magpursigi.
Regarding naman sa sinabi @strawberry, I agree also na kung merong pwedeng tumulong bakit hindi, right? Lapitan natin kung sino pwedeng malapitan, kamag-anak, kaibigan, kakilala.. magbaka-sakali ika nga, alam naman siguro nung mga nauna sa atin kung ano ang pinag-daraanan natin, so let's just be positive na magbibigay sila ng daan... Alam na naman natin yan, wala munang pride pride, kung may pride man, lunukin na dahil nauubos ang baon natin.
On the other hand uli, huwag din naman tayo umasa, at lalong huwag sumama ang loob. Una, unless they've pledged support from the very beginning, hindi naman nila tayo kinumbida na mag-migrate sa Oz. Pangalawa, sarili nating sikap ito, at sarili din natin yung success later on... Kaya buntot natin, Hila natin.
Kung may tutulong, salamat na marami, kung wala, patunayan na lang natin na kaya natin

pati nga sa mga hindi naman mga visa holders/citizens, nagbibigay ng komento, hindi mo tuloy alam kung concerned lang or gusto lang talagang sirain yung loob mo.
madaming reasons to get discourage, kaya kung may opportunity tayong maging positibo, doon na lang natin ibaling yung energy natin.

Lahat naman ng pagsimula, ng bago, mahirap eh.
Basta never give up lang, in the end, tayo pa din ang winner :-)
4months pa lang kami dito pero its all worth talaga.
Though di ganun ka OK na aalis ka pa ng sarili mong bansa para sa better opportunity, no choice eh...
Basta never give up, sipag, tyaga, patience, PRAYERS,
after few months, part na lang ng experience natin ang start up life natin dito na kinatatakutan nating new migrants.
God Bless

already in the process of my SV to oz.
iba iba ang palad ng mga tao so iba2 din ang kapalaran natin. may mga swerte at may pinagpala.
kahit naman saan tayo pupunta, mahirap talaga ang "umpisa". been working here in UAE for more than 5yrs at indi madali ang panimula ko dito. to the extent na negative ang sweldo ko vs. expenses, to the extend na ang kinakain ko ay nga tinapay na issue ng company. but its all worth it. tiyaga, pasensya, diskarte at PANALANGIN. lahat naman possible. and now, we have are our own flat, car, and was able to bring our kids here. indi ko masasabi na luxury ang pamumuhay namin dito pero ensakto lang para makaraos sa pang araw2 naming buhay.
marami akong narinig/nabasa mga negative thing about oz, but our life here in UAE ay basehan at challenge para sa aming mag asawa to push through our OZ dream.
sabi nga "pag may tiyaga, may nilaga".
i will follow this thread. thanks to TS @disyerto_31
