    @ChefMa My semester load is pretty heavy so I opted not to work at the moment. Marami kasing assignments due on the same week so crunch time talaga; no time and energy to think of working. Hopefully pag mas nakaluwag na ng konti sa study load ay makapagsimula na ko maghanap ng work.

    As for daily/weekly expenses, they vary a lot because I've been eating out/takeaway lately due to my busy sched (no time to cook). I'd say the average cost of my expenses so far (excluding school stuff like books/stationery) falls in the range of 350-370 per week (rent+food+transpo+mobile plan).

    May question po ako, sana may makatulon sakin :)

    Nagtry po ako mag gawa ng myhealth declaration. Kaso nagkamali po ako. Parehong yes ang sinagot ko dito sa question na to.


    Does the applicant intend to apply for a permanent stay in Australia within the next 6-12 months?




    Does the applicant wish to have their health assessed for a permanent stay in Australia?



    Pero di ko na po dineclare yung hap id nung naglodge ng SV kasi akala ko mag gegenerate ng panibagong hap id pag naglodge ng SV kaso ung sa referral letter ngayon nakabase po dun sa ginawa kong my health declaration kaya ang required test po sakin ngayon yung medical exam, chest xray and hiv test. :( Akala ko kasi pag di ko na pinansin ung my health declaration na ginawa ko wala naman epekto. magkakaproblema po kaya ako sa application?

    Good afternnon, need your opinion mga sir.mam
    Nag pa assess ako sa ACS and only got AQF Associate Degree major in ICT for my course BSIT in LPU Laguna/ I have 7 yrs of work experience as a network engineer.

    Now since fail yun studies ko sa assessment, im planning to study in Australia sana.

    Pwede ba ako mag take ng Masters in IT there? Study and part time work sana gagawin ko. If ever makapag kita ako ng part time, kayanin kaya yun cost of living and tuition fees ko?

    Please help me kung ano po option ko since wala ako points makukuha as Associate lang degree ko if mag apply ako sa skilled visa.

    Mag student nalang muna ako sa regional area for 2 yrs i guess for masters
