Gym membership pag mga international gaya ng fitness 1st or goodlife around 30-40per fortnight +5 or 10 dollars pag platinum level excluding rate ng trainor. Pag mga 24x7 fitness nasa 20-30 ata per fortnight. Meron ding spa centres na may gym memberships with pool, discounts sa massage, face lift, lipo, etc - nasa 600-800 per annum ata yung membership rate nila.

GAME OF THRONES MENU FOR AUSSIE DVD LAUNCH
You don’t see this every day…
Apparently HBO will be promoting the launch of Game of Thrones season 1 in Australia through a unique menu of food at Sydney’s Gastro Park restaurant. Sci Fi Australia has been sharing photos of the food being presented at an early taste for the media, and… well, “unique” doesn’t get the half of it. “Eyeballs” and rare meat skewered on arrows, anyone? How about ravens claw broth or dragon eggs?
----
Pero mabalik lang sa topic ng thread...totoo po bang 7pm po sarado na ang malls at establishments kahit sa mga cities?

sapat na po ba ang around 1400 AUD na monthly income para mabuhay dyan sa aussie? yung kahit makapagpadala ka pa ng pera sa pinas ay may maiipon ka pa. baka lang po ipo provide ng employer ang accomodation.
for a single person lang po.
thanks po sa mga sasagot..

Narinig nyo na rin po yung IVC o Immigrant Visa Center sa Ortigas? Sila kasi nag advertise nito, for Agriculturists/Foresters. Reliable po ba sila? Though hindi sila ang agency/employer, sa kanila lang iha-house ang safety seminar na hatid naman ng ka tie=up nilang training agency dun sa Australia (YourCareer Pte Ltd). At may babayaran na 300USD na fee para sa 1 day training at certificate issuance. Wala pa naman daw pong job order pero as soon na ma approve daw, naka line up na po kami. Pero depende pa rin daw kung ma meet namin requirements.
Sa tingin niyo po, okay ito? Ganito po ba ang SOP ng Aussie employers? Malaking halaga din po ang 300 USD eh wala pa namang mga job orders na nilalabas. May local agency daw dito sa pinas ang hahawak nun.
Pasensya na po kung napahaba ang post ko. First time ko po kasi mag apply. gusto ko lang po kasi manigurado..Salamat po ulit sa magrereply.

And then you have to ask what kind of certificate po yung ibibigay nila.....may iba't ibang levels mga yan kasi baka naman yung ibibigay sa inyo yung tipong level 1 at hindi magamit sa ibang trabaho.
Tapos saang state po ba? Kung Sydney or Melbourne baka puwede ko pa tiisin hehe pero baka kasi Darwin or parang isolated area ng Perth yan hehe

Wala pa pong details na binibigay, kasi limited lang ang info na nasa IVC.
Babalik na lang ako dito as soon magreply sila.
Ang training daw po ay magco cover ng OHS according to BSB30707 cert III level.
Meron din pong seminar on 'Understanding OHS Practices in the Australian Agricultural Workplace'. Hindi naka indicate anong level or baka same lang.
Wala pa ring nabanggit kung saang state, since wala pa sila updates sa mga job orders.
Pwede po pa advice kung saang mga lugar ang mga isolated/liblib. Di ko pa masyado na search ang mga magandang agricultural areas sa australia.
TIA!

Certificate 3 is not so bad...two levels below Bachelor's Degree hehe
Yung OHS standard siyang binibigay sa kahit anong trabaho diyan so normal lang kayo bigyan ng seminar tungkol doon.
Dun sa suweldo, kung kaya po niyo ihaggle na at least minimum wage naman i-offer sa inyo..Tapos dapat may superannuation din (+9% annual gross salary) na ibibigay sa inyo.
Dun sa liblib...basta may parts ng Perth na hindi matao...tapos Darwin, mainit dun hehehe
