@jkk32w mate salamat. You are also a blessing on this forum as ikaw din ang madalas ko napagtanungan when I am starting this AU journey. You actually boosted my morale big time. Share your journey too pag landing mo doon ha.

Sure, will help and pay forward to those others starting their family life down under. God bless and hope our paths cross someday. Flight ko na sa Sydney on 26th Oct. Then head to Perth after a few days. :-h

Congrats @jedh_g godbless you more!

jedh_g · August 2016

@jkk32w sayang pala...magkikita lang kami from airport ng former classmate ko from gradeschool and he is from Blacktown. Then from there baka mag ayos na ko ng application like medicare. Short gala lang siguro then nag offer din ang agent namin to rent for a few days accomodation. Bahala na, bagong salta lang ng australia. Isip ko talaga maka settle na para hindi stressed pag sunod nina misis at kids.

jkk32w · August 2016

@jedh_g yes mas mabuti tlaga sunod nlang sila thats what we did. mabilis lng nmn panahon. and may social media nman. kayang kaya tiisin for few months lang

para sa kanila din nmn yan. Goodluck!

jedh_g · August 2016

admt2016 · August 2016

You have a beautiful family! @jedh_g Hope to meet you all in person soon. God bless

jedh_g · August 2016

@admt2016 wow ang galing nyo naman. Send ka na lang ng pics to share dyan. See you soon mate and keep in touch! =D>

jedh_g · August 2016

@iam_juju likewise. I am sure you have a beautiful family too. Nakakaiyak pala bago mag big move...di na ko makatulog ng maaga, umaga na ko nakakahiga sa bed. [-O<

elleb1 · August 2016

@jedh_g ang bilis ng panahon, one month ka nlang pala sa work, parang kelan lng e pinapanood lng natin si Bogart sa youtube. God bless on your journey, hope someday will meet in Aus. I will wait nlang sa sharing mo dito lalo na sa trip mo sa Sydney because we plan to have our initial entry there on March 2017.

elleb1 · August 2016

@jkk32w thanks for sharing your experiences!

jedh_g · August 2016

@elleb1 I agree kahit ako na amaze sa bilis. I'm enjoying my last weeks at work kahit guilty na ko sobra as my Boss is the only person who did not know yet. Sayang din ang performance bonus kaya I shall be finishing lang end of the quarter. Ano kaya scenario ko habang nag aabot ng employee quarter performance evaluation focal increase, sabay aabutan ko si Boss ng resignation letter...whew - Help me GOD :-?

elleb1 · August 2016

@iam_juju from Davao ka pala, Davao na rin kami nag settle ng family ko kc dun kami nkahanap ng work before. God bless sa application, lapit na rin grant mo!

elleb1 · August 2016

@jedh_g pareho tayo hindi pa alam ng bossing namin na me grant na kami though matagal pa nman kami mag resign. I know your Boss will understand, lalo na for the future of your family naman yung move na gagawin mo:) Hehehe mejo awkward lng cguro.

jedh_g · August 2016

@elleb1 yeah my Boss will as our company naman is very transparent to their employees kasi american open door policy naman dito. Yun lang, ang dami binigay na deliverables during our one on one meeting yesterday. Sa isip ko, cge boss "let's get it on" sagarin mo na pwede ko gawin hahaha. Para graceful exit din di ba? Challenge accepted. Maganda mag reresign pero ok pa din ang last performance and you don't burn bridges pa rin. Kasi remember, your boss shall be the first reference of your next potential employer...

elleb1 · August 2016

@jedh_g agree ako jan sa graceful exit. Kaya kami hindi nahirapan humingi ng COE sa previous employer namin

yung agent nyo pala na me accommodation to rent in Sydney yun or Perth? for clients lng ba nila yun offered?

jedh_g · August 2016

@elleb1 yeah our agent offered to have our Australian owner's house which is sa mother nya sa Blacktown. Paglabas ng flight details ko sa cebupac, inform ko sila para sa quote ng house rent at address na rin. Yeah, exclusive for clients lang ito. Interim lang para di ka matulog mag isa sa Sydney airport pag landing hehehe...

Sa Perth, may tutuluyan ako highschool classmate ko. Room accomodation lang kaya budget as in. Buti Chef ang mister nya kaya pwede ko na rin consider ang meals ko sa bahay nila.

elleb1 · August 2016

@jedh_g Thanks sa info! naghahanap kc ko ng accommodation sa Sydney, check ko rin cguro sa agent namin. God bless:)

Nat · August 2016

@jedh_g saan kayo sa Perth...Good luck sa travel niyo...baka magkita kita din tayo dyan..prolly sa west perth kami..dun kase office ng hubby...

AspireAU21 · August 2016

Hi guys, opened my online account sa NAB. Nagtanong ako sa bpi ng wire transfer to AU. Ang dami pala charges and may loss pa sa conversion. Mas ok ba na itransfer ang funds or dalin na lang ang cash sa AU? Thanks

jedh_g · August 2016

@Nat Brabham ako sa Calverley road. Suburb area

admt2016 · August 2016

Withdraw mo nlng dito using ur pinas atm. Gnon kse gawa namin. So far ok nmn un nga lng laging 550 max na pede iwithdraw kse un bdo and bpi jan gang 20k php lng limit @AspireAU21

jedh_g · August 2016

@admt2016 mate balitaan mo nga ako sa drivers license na acceptable dyan sa AU. Kasi pa expire na yung sa akin on my birthday next week ang problema, hindi pa nag iissue ng ID card ang LTO dito sa pinas. Sayang naman if hindi i-honor ng driving authorities ang provisional renewed license na papel lang. Thanks in advance.

admt2016 · August 2016

Ay hindi ko alam sa DL. Wala pa. bka nxt month pa cgro wala pa dn kmi plan kuha kotse ksi d pa nmin need. Kasi ang school ng anak ko one house away lng smen, un work ni hubby sumasabay sya sa kotse ng hipag ko so mas mtipid pa na wala kmi kotse. :)Bka nxt yr pa un kotse though wala nmn downpayment ang pgkuha un nga lng medyo taas monthly, kaya plan namin ni hubby saka na kukuha pag meron ng pangmalaking down pra maliit monthly, ok nmn ang commute nila dito unlike pinas.

Unahin muna un enrolment ng baby namin. Pero prepare ka 500aud daw sbi ng sister in law ko pra sa exam etc.

@jedh_g

AspireAU21 · August 2016

@admt2016 pero hindi ba lugi sa charge at conversion? mejo malaki kas ang balak ko dalin eh makakarami withdraw ako haha

admt2016 · August 2016

Medyo malaki conversion. Un withdrawal fee is 3aud. Your choice kng gsto mo dalhin onhand yan. Kse ipapalit mo rin nmn pgdtng dto. @AspireAU21

engineer20 · August 2016

@AspireAU21 kung may kakilala kang nasa AU na nagreremit sa pinas palitan mo na lang yung AUD nya. tapos kung may AU bank account ka na padeposit mo na lang dun.
