Share ko lang tomorrow's destination, on site work at Pt. Augusta & Pt. Pirie. I've seen a lot of places here in SA though parang wala akong makitang may wow factor unlike when I was in Sydney. I still have 18 mos bond left, enjoy SA muna.

Excited at may halong kaba na kami ni misis...we will be flying this coming october and hopefully makakita kaagad ng work. My spouse is the principal, under 475 visa. QA naman ang background nya. Ako naman business admin. Meron akong 2nd course- BS Nursing kaso nga lang di ko pa na practice ang nursing ko dito sa pinas so i have to take further studies there. I am just wondering lang rin kung anong school sa Adelaide na pwedeng mag accept ng bridging program na wala pang nursing job experience. Baka lang po meron kayong alam. (pinoy au peeps).
We are in manila, right now. Stressful lalo na ang traffic situation dito...Im sure makarelax relax ng kaunti pag nandyan na kami...hehehhe!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the moderators and contributors of this site. Malaking tulong po kayo sa amin!
Hopefully, magkita- kita tayo mga taga pinoy au sa Adelaide!

yup that's Westfield Marion. Isang beses pa lang ako nakapunta dun and I was shocked with the car park para akong nasa greenhills pahirapan makahanap ng parking slot. Westfield is parang SM satin sa pinas pero mas prefer ko Westfield Westlakes since malapit lang samin and less crowded.
Based sa nakilala ko nurse dito you can only do bridging course if you have nursing experience. If not, you can check nursing graduate course at Flinders University which is a 2 years course though under 475 visa like me it is quite expensive. Balak dapat dati ng wife ko yan.
Sa ngayon looking forward ako mag december. Drive from Adelaide to Sydney then fly to Singapore then to Manila. 1 month vacation Yahoo!
May bagong airline which is called scoot airlines ang mura ng airfare, sister company ng sg airlines.

As of this writing, its been 10 straight days Manila and near by provinces and some parts of Luzon are experiencing heavy rains...flood is everywhere. Let us pray for the safety of our kababayans.

@bambina SA state has strict guidelines in water conservation or even victoria. Dont know with other states. Pati mag car wash at your own backyard minsan bawal. Whats good about SA is that they have a desalination plant which means they have other source of water supply aside from getting it from murray river.

Here's the link: http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/38760.htm&pc=001/002/001/008/002&mnu=1106&mfp=001/002&st=&cy=1
Di ko lang sure how long it will take but in case you haven't received it in 28 days, you can ring them to check. Once it's done, they'll mail it to the postal address na binigay mo during the application.
I'm still waiting for mine to be posted, probably not too soon.
