  Sino ba mga melbournians dito? Lol
  BM namin on March 11, sa craigieburn kami.
  
  Next step is job hunting naman.. Dapat magawi ang hanggang leeg na gastos. kami ng wife ko iniisip na lang namin na this is a long term investment. Pag inisip mo kasi yung gastos at mga payables mawawala ka sa focus.
