Helo po. Sa mga nasa AU na, ano po yung mga activities nyo after work?
Maaga po ang time mag-out sa office, ano po usual na ginagawa nyo bago mag dinner?
What time usually natutulog ang mga tao hehe..
Saka during weekends din po ano po mga past time nyo? Like movies, sports, picnics etc..
Pa share naman para ma picture out namin ano ang lifestyle nyo jan :) kasi yun po one of the reasons ng migrants.
Sobrang bored na po kasi talaga kami sa SG at nakaka excite isipin ang mga things to do pagdating ng panahon :)
Salamat! :D

    am looking forward to the following:

    (1) weekend drive - something i was deprived off when i was working in singapore...
    (2) cooking/baking - fresh amd good ingredients in australia, all you need is practice and patience. plus it will ease budget of eating take aways plus pwede rin ito maging kumikitang kabuhayan if we are really very good at it.
    (3) walking around the city (melbourne) - wifey and i are huge fans of walking; with melbourne being a very dynamic and multi-cultural city, am sure the side streets of the city will be interesting for the next few yrs.

    hmmm, what else? let me thing pa... ehehehhe!!

    Meron din free walking tour sa Sydney. Check http://www.imfree.com.au/.

    Para sa akin, life in Australia is a lot simplier compared to what I have been used to in the Philippines. Nature tripping kasi malimit na ginagawa ng mga tao. Maramin malalaking parks unlike sa atin na ang Malls ang ginagawa nating parks.

    Maaga nag sasara ang mga malls and shops dito, except on Thursdays. Generally, malls and shops close at 5:00 pm. However, meron din mga resto and bars sa CBD na open hanggang hating gabi if that is what you like.

    During weekdays, people are usually in a hurry to go home after work either to pick up their kids from the Child Care Center or dahil walang nag luluto para sa kanila lalo na for those with kids, unlike sa atin na may mga nag luluto for us (which is what I miss in the Philippines)

    People always look forward to weekends as they have a lot of places to explore. For a start, you can try checking the following sites:

    http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attractions-g255060-Activities-Sydney_New_South_Wales.html

    250 Attractions
    204 Activities
    42 Night Life

    If you are single and outgoing, you can join volunteer groups. Last time I joined conservation volunteer in Perth, you're not only helping in preserving mother earth but you get to meet a lot of people from different countries din who are there for that purpose. Some are locals and on work holiday visa as well.

    pwede naman... pero pag torrent malaki ang probability na mapadalhan ka ng love letter ng isp mo... 3 warnings and you're out...

    tip: magdl ng movies pero wag sa torrent...

    Careful lang sa illegal downloading. Internet providers send warnings or notices if you download copyright materials like music and movies from torrent sites. You will be penalized if you keep on downloading inspite of the warning.

    Also, do not bring in pirated cds/dvds. A friend had an officemate who brought pirated dvds from overseas. Pinalampas sa airport but after a few days pinuntahan sa bahay ng anti piracy agents at binilang lahat ng pirated cds and dvds and then got fined for a hefty $20k. Hangang ngayon nag babayad pa rin.

    tanong mga pips - pwede ba mag download ng movies sa australia?

    once in a while gusto ko maging couchpotato din... :)
    Yes sir. Depende kasi yan sa mga ISP:
    Telstra - d/l as much as you can in any way (http, tor, etc). no letters. but i heard na mag-iimplement sila ng 'deep-packet' inspection sa Melbourne area as a trial.
    TPG - be careful with certain tor as you'll definitely get a letter of warning and configure it to go straight to your spam folder. i haven't heard of 3 strikes rule sa aus, sa US ata lang yun.
    iinet - nasa news ito na they will not disclose customer user information sa mga movie companies and they won the lawsuit.
    Also, do not bring in pirated cds/dvds. A friend had an officemate who brought pirated dvds from overseas. Pinalampas sa airport but after a few days pinuntahan sa bahay ng anti piracy agents at binilang lahat ng pirated cds and dvds and then got fined for a hefty $20k. Hangang ngayon nag babayad pa rin.
    -> Hard disk plus encryption ;) Pag tinanong bakit naka encrypt sabihin mu work/project related and sensitive data.

    Helo po. Sa mga nasa AU na, ano po yung mga activities nyo after work?
    Maaga po ang time mag-out sa office, ano po usual na ginagawa nyo bago mag dinner?
    What time usually natutulog ang mga tao hehe..
    Saka during weekends din po ano po mga past time nyo? Like movies, sports, picnics etc..
    Pa share naman para ma picture out namin ano ang lifestyle nyo jan :) kasi yun po one of the reasons ng migrants.
    Sobrang bored na po kasi talaga kami sa SG at nakaka excite isipin ang mga things to do pagdating ng panahon :)
    Salamat! :D
    Hello dyan!

    If you're a shopper like me, yung Surfer's Paradise, tawag ko dun Shopper's Paradise hehe! May recent addiction ako, Harbour town in Gold Coast. :D

    But if you're not naman... naku, sobrang daming pwedeng gawin. Nature Parks are free, beaches abound. May theater plays, movie marathon, eating out. And of course syempre, Pinoy ba naman mauubusan ng get-together? Kung talagang naubos mo na everything you could possibly do in your state, ibang state naman! But I doubt mauubos talaga eh. Sobrang daming places to see. Tapos, may NZ pa na isang tawid lang! :D.

    I know what you mean though.. maiikot ang buong Sg in 3 days tops.

    Ahahahaha!! :) 3 days exactly... More if you want to do food tourism but then again, SG is mainly Universal Studio/Sentosa, Marina Bay Sands, Orchard Road, Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India to most tourist...
