    @elleb1 arrived na at Perth my final flight for the same day after Sydney. I am staying with my HS classmate here and agreed to pay her on a weekly basis around 140 pw (including meals, ayos na di ba?)

    So far, I noticed mas malamig pa dito sa Perth now kesa sa Sydney. Estimate ko nasa 18 deg C ito lamig sa labas thinking na summer season start na pero still cold outside. Share ko na lang experience ko na sumakay ako sa taxi from Perth airport. Yun driver pa nag assist magbuhat ng luggages ko at the back and I tested if trustworthy sya. I told him the address and hinanap nya sa google then we proceed. Kita sa meter nya how much na transparently. In fact, IN na rin dito UBER na ka-kompetensya nila but comes out na mas mahal sila maningil unlike taxis. When I saw my classmate from home, I felt relieved and immediately pay the taxi driver at 38 AUD. By the way, he is an australian citizen for more than 10 years and an Indian descent. He even motivated me to secure a job when I mentioned to him that I'm a PR Visa holder.

    One thing I noticed also, 'di vain manamit ang australians. They wanted to appear what they wanted to. Nakakaaliw makinig ng accent ng mga chief stewardees on plane, lakas maka-aussie slang...parang PTE/IELTS review lang. Ang bait din nila kasi 'di ako pinabayad nung lady stewardees ng chicken noodles na inorder ko on board kasi exclusive sa binayaran ko na flight ticket, but still, she even mentuoned my name on the aisle and told me to keep my 5 AUD bill instead kasi free na daw. Imagine that?

    More stories to come!

    @Captain_A mejo malayo sa station kung lalakarin hehe. So far ok naman ang prices sa grocery may mga offers always like yesterday nasa Coles kame and may promo si timtams 2 for $4 haha. Malapit kasi kame sa Craigieburn Central shopping centre sya kaya pag bored punta lang kame gala gala haha. I also registered sa flybuys to earn points and rewards. Meron din discount sa petrol sabi ni hubby I forgot lang how much dapat yung amount ng groceries mo sa Coles. Meron kame nabibili na white bread for only 85cents :)

    I've noticed mababait mostly ang mga Aussie. Dun sa mga naencounter ko na like yung sa Medicare and Centrelink and also sa school where I enrolled my kids. Meron church dito malapit and when we attend mass before the mass starts you have to say hello to the people around you sa church. Haha mejo mababaw pero we don't do that sa Pinas di ba. And when you say peace be with you, you have to shake their hands also. Nice di ba? :D

    @Cassey hi, ftb can be claim ng fortnight or lumpsum, u can file it kahit wala both work, pero dapat yung anak nyo ksama nyo na. If ur renting a house ipapasa mo dn sknla ung tenancy agreement pra maassess nila for rent allowance. Yung smen na claim is lump sum, annual claim namin pra maipon pangdagdag down ng sriling bahay. If lump sum kelangan mafile siya before June 30. And un immunisation, dpat naregister mo na dn pala yung anak mo and up to date pra sa ftb, nga pala, if wala work both, kelangan mo iestimate yung annual income kahit isa lng dun kse sila mag-base ng payment sayo, if mataas ideclare mo mas maliit ang makukuha, if maliit namn mataas nga mkukuha mo yun nga lng pag ngkawork kna tlga at un dineclare mo ay malayo sa inestimate mo magkakautang kapa sa centrelink, kaya careful dpt sa part nato. Hope this helps

    @cassey meron pa din makukuha, if ang annual income combined is 100k/year, if mas mataas pa jan wala na. About sa immunisation, tatawag ka sa local council nyo, sila mgsbi sayo kng saan mo siya dadalhin para maassess un immunisation records nya, most likely clinic yun. Then un staff sa clinic sila mgssbi kng my kulang pa na vaccine ggwin nila un same day or mgssched sila kung kelan dapat ibigay un vaccine, sila na dn mgfforward sa medicare nun. Check mo nlng sa medicare online kung up to date na. Pg pnta mo clinic dalhin mo baby book and medicare na nakalagay na dpt name nya dun sa medicare para libre lang if in case my vaccine na ggwin sa knya.

    @elleb1 yes very happy ako sa first landing ko on both two states sa NSW and my home Perth state. Today I accomplished getting my ANZ ATM card and account opening, another milestone again. Bukas asikasuhin ko naman Tax File Number application.

    Another thing, our house rental application was accepted this morning at COMO area. So, I am just waiting for the lease agreement form to be signed na lang then we will move on the agreed date weeks before my whole family comes for their IED at Perth after paying the advance bond. GOD is really good! HE arranges everything for us.. :-*

    And of course, you shall get used to the aussie slang. I always remembered Hugh Jackman's interview with Bogart. I am loving it so much in here MATE!!
