@jaz007_EngTech okay lang yan atleast you are made aware na they are looking into your docs na ulit. Email them na lang siguro na your have already submitted your PCC.

Oo nga, malapit na ang LFT ko, as of Jan 25 normal naman na lahat. Daan ulit ako ng Medex before the actual lab test sa Nationwide para sure lang. Yung HBV DNA test na nga lang ang medyo matagal makuha ang result mga 3 days pa tamang first week march ko na sya maibibigay, also kailangan kong dumaan sa doctor ko para humingi ng medical clearance/certificate re my fatty liver Magpapa ultrasound na rin ako ng liver para to give them reassurance na I am healthy.

Hello sis...my Diffuse fatty liver din ako but noong nagpa medical ako before hindi ko declare yan. Salamat naman at naging okey naman results.Hindi ako sumabit at na Grant naman Visa ko....

kittykitkat18 · February 2016

@sweetheart congrats sis!

mariem · February 2016

@chu_se Naku I was actually thinking not to declare it sana kaso I am afraid na magkaroon ng issue re fraud. Anyways, the Lord will make it possible, may mga kilala na rin ako who also got a grant even after they have declared it =D

sweetheart · February 2016

@mariem dumating din ang lab test mo sis! prang kelan lng ang 3months waiting. sana may november batch this week. Godbless us all!

mariem · February 2016

@jkk32w oo nga, I pray talaga na may ma grant na ulit next week kasi kami na ang kasunod after hehehe...

I went very early sa Medex Laboratory kanina, okay na yung result kaya dumiretso na ako ng Nationwide for official lab test. Then yung ibang test next week pa magiging available, for email na lang yon once lumabas.

hopeful_mea · February 2016

@mariem hi mam! Ayan na mlapit na yan. Magiging na din ang results sa test nyo

OZwaldCobblepot · February 2016

@mariem woooh! Lapit na yan! baka after a week or two, pwede na ifollow up sa CO? hehe

mariem · February 2016

@OZwaldCobblepot ang plan namin once submitted na ng Nationwide ang result, we will click the information provided then we will email the CO. Okay lang kaya na magsubmit na rin ako kaagad ng form 815 or parang pinangungunahan ko naman si CO. Yung 2 sons ko kasi positive sa PPD pero negative sa XRay baka kailangan din nila ng form 815.

@mariem hi mam! Ayan na mlapit na yan. Magiging na din ang results sa test nyo

Oo sure ako na okay ang result

nagpatest muna ako early morning sa medex and waited for the result, nung okay na tumakbo na ako papuntang Nationwide.

OZwaldCobblepot · February 2016

@mariem wait mo si CO magrequest ng form 815. There's a chance kasi na hindi ka naman i-require since non-TB related naman ung medical issue mo.

though may possibility pa din na irequest sya sayo. so wait mo na lang. For sure, priority na ung application nyo once macomplete dahil 3months ka na diba? Malay mo, grant na agad ung next email sayo sis.

mariem · February 2016

@OZwaldCobblepot sige ganun na nga lang gagawin namin

thanks! Excited na yung kids, they are also monitoring my health hehehehe... kayo konti na lang rin malapit na ang July, for now may chance pa na makapag ipon while waiting.

OZwaldCobblepot · February 2016

@mariem yep. kakatapos lang ng pulmo evaluation ni misis nung Friday. So far, ok naman. 2nd and last Pulmo Eval is scheduled March 28 (bday ko) so sana bday gift na sa kin ung negative results nya. Para waiting for July na lang kami. hehe.

wow sis, kumusta ang Oz experience?

mariem · March 2016

@jkk32w share your story sis ng inyong pag land jan.. hehe.. good luck!

Oo nga, kasi we are also considering Melbourne, mas less expensive daw ang lifestyle there compared sa Sydney.

jkk32w · March 2016

@ram071312 @mariem @OZwaldCobblepot @filipinacpa thank God for the safe flight akala ko world tour ang tagal ng flight indi pa natulog c baby gusto maglibot sa plane waaaah.

ok nmn first day namin.. ung frend ko where well stay nasa work pa so we book a hotel muna for today pra mkapag pahinga kami muna after the 14hrs flight. the city is laid back and a mix of historic/modern infrastractures hehe. since we use to travel before ma co compare cguro namin sia sa Dublin Ireland. very relax lang mga tao..hindi nagmamadali going to and from work

nasanai din kc kami sa dubai na busy city..ang daming kotse at mabilis lahat magpatakbo..dito easy ka lang haha..80 sa highway and 60 sa cbd ang speed. ung first feeling namin pagdating - eto ung katas ng application ko for visa 189..hurray!

nice ang weather today and everyone has been so polite and helpful..from immigration, customs and taxi

dami kc naming dala and may bata pa. i notice most people here are soft spoken..mejo agressive kc mga tao sa dubai haha (sympre compare). and secondly on our first day high na feel namin na hahaba buhay namin dito lol

we encouraged ourselves to walk sa city kahit may free tram around. na observe namin na people here likes to destress after work. ung tambay lng by the river or street cafes nag k kwentuhan (inom ng beer or kain ng ice cream). at there a lot of pubs around na nka shorts lng nag s serve haha astig at nka sleepers lng.

Madali lng din tandaan ang streets nka blocks lang eh feeling ko ma memrize ko cia n 2days haha. walang malalaking mall! (which is nice)

there are a lot of benches along sa side street under green tall trees

since we lived n uae for quite long nasanai kami na hindi pde mag Public Display of Affection. kahit mag asawa indi pde..so here you can enjoy a walk n d park na sweeter this time haha. hindi nman PDA din pro ung wlang paki mga tao tlaga. while mag c cross sa street may nakita kami kanina prang long lost frends sila halaa nag kiss muna ng matagal sa gitna ng daan lol (Otwol mode)

anyhow back to mature stories..hehe...its expensive here!!! waaaahh.. dito mo ma feel na kelangan careful ka tlaga sa every bit of expenses mo. kahit ung sukli na cents tago mo tlaga kc kelangan mo yan sa convenience store haha.

-7 eleven 1.5water was 5au, 2nd bottle 2au. so prang 2 for 3.5 au waaaah. tho may groceries na nagbbenta nmn ng 70/90 cents. so no to 7 eleven. akala namin hindi ganun ka overpriced.
-food sa mga restau (asian) ranges from 10-20 a meal.
-icedtea, softdrinks is 4au!(sa street restau) hahaha.
-fastfood nakta ko sa kfc 10pcs 9.99au not bad for a family haha.
-burgers/fries/snacks/sandwiches sa city is around 5-15 au.
-water sa vending machine 2.99au na 500 ml so maghanap ka ng wollies or coles pra makatipid lol
-6pcs small croisant 4au
-5pcs of sliced banana bread is 6au
-deodorant 4au

sympre if bulk buying pde naman mag aldi. pro ung pa isa isang bili mahal tlaga. so f gagala magbaon ng tubig..iwasan ang softdrinks..wag muna mag beer/yosi f wlapng work lol bukas punta kami sa bank where we opened an account online and bili ng sim and punta ng aldi pra mkabili ng diapers

so far sa first day high namin ok nman. hindi ganun kalaki cguro compared sa syd ang mel pro i feel ung competition here sa applicants s lesser din cmpared sa sydney. so unahan nalng and may d most talented win a post

sunset for now was around 8pm. closed na most stores by 5 and 6pm. its a relaxed city even nung mga 5pm paglabas galing office. may nag b bike habang nka suit astig! most people here commute and its fun seeing hindi-stressed face around

o cia bukas ibang kwento nman lol

hope kita kita tau soon!

jaz007_EngTech · March 2016

@jkk32w wow ma excite nmn kmi lalo s kwento mo.. lalo yata nainip s grant nmin hehe.. pero were happy for you.. tumtagos hangang dto ung ksayahan mo hehe...
