    Hello everyone, how did you decide which state to settle in Australia for those who made a BM without a job offer yet? We are eyeing Melbourne, Victoria since we saw a lot of IT (SAP) opportunities there but just wanted to know your thoughts too. :)

    yes, first thing that caught our attention is melbourne being most livable city for a number of years, then yung job market, madami nmn job opportunities. then coming from sg, gsto nmin ng calmer lifestyle for work and life. some friends say na melbourne is not as 'workaholic' culture compared to other cities pero hndi din nmn super laid back. and the climate, something new for us and were excited to experience it then now were OK with it.

    @jazmyne18 parang hindi kasi masyado uso ang pangbuntis dito lalo sa mga puti kasi, kung ano iyong normal clothes nila nung hindi sila buntis iyon din sinusuot nila. hehe. pero kung hindi din naman brand conscious meron din mura mabibili sa kmart, target or bigw.

    Guys off topic you can claim your PAG-IBIG provident funds if you want . We tried it and it is applicable for those permanently leaving Phils. Will take about 2 months to process but at least you can use mga contributions nyo when you work sa pinas. Extra cash din sya pag move sa AU. Or at least pangbili ng stuff you need to buy for the move.

    You just need to fill this form and submit at PAG-IBIG office.

    @mrsAinKL , we claimed our pag-ibig, Provident claims. Ang sabi ay 3 months processing daw, kahit nasa website ng PagIbig ay 8-20 days lang. Tumawag kami on the 20th day, may cheque na. 14 days lang actually meron na, pero di sila nag iinform.

    Hi! Finally, planning for BM na! :)
    Sa mga nagconsider mag-frent ng room muna through airbnb or sa iba pang flatshare apps (like roomster etc) sa first few weeks nyo—ano sa dalawa ang mas okay? Tsaka naghanap ba kayo ng pinoy din na kashare or open kayo kahit ibang nationalities? Ayaw kasi namin makitira sa friends syempre, ayaw naman din namin ng sariling place like studio kasi gusto sana namin may kasama kami kahit pano na mapapagtanungan anytime kasi syempre mangangapa pa lang kami.. di rin kami sanay na may ibang lahing kasama, but kung okay naman sila dyan, open naman din kaming itry. Halp! Hirap maghanap e

    @SGtoAU sa Oct pa naman po hehe. Pero naghahanap na as early as now para may idea din at maraming options. plano kasi namin sa Sydney city muna habang nagaadjust. medyo sanay kasi kami sa matataong lugar, baka mahomesick kami pag nag-suburbs kami agad dyan. okay naman po ba kahit kayo lang sa place na narent nyo? kanino kayo nagtatanong like halimbawa pano pumunta sa ganto-ganyan, or san makakabili ng kung anik-anik..
