    Hi mga solo flighters,

    Advise ko huwag kayo mag rent ng studio type or mag-rent ng one or two bedroom house na kayo lang ang nandun. Maganda mag shared house kayo at least may kasama kayo sa bahay. Makaka tipid na kayo mai-improve pa english ninyo at hindi pa kayo malulungkot kasi may kausap kayo pag uwi. Most Studio type or house for rent eh unfurnished means you need to buy or bring your own furniture at appliances. Ang mahal ng rent then bibili pa kayo ng gamit ang mahal di ba at hindi practical? Mag babayad ka pa ng kuryente at telepono for internet connection. Base sa experience ko eh nagkamali ako. Nag rent ako ng studio type unfurnished kaya bumili ako ng gamit. After two years plano ko lumipat ng work at state eh di ko naman madadala lahat nagastusan lang ako ng husto na realise ko dapat pala pinangbili ko ng bagong car madali ko pa ma-intransfer kahit malayong state. Staka na lang kayo mag rent ng sarili nyo kapag kasama nyo na ang partner ninyo at sobra na ang sahod ninyo.

    ito ang mga payo mula sa inyong kuya cris :D Good luck Cheers

    Kung pwede nga lang po ipunin lahat ng mga nag-solo flight, para hindi na solo, hehe!

    Solo flight din po ako nung dumating. Parang kelan lang, mag 6 months nako! It is daunting talaga, at madami challenges. But slowly, nagkakaroon na rin ng network of friends.

    @itsssmeeecheng, I wish I could give a bit more advice re:finding work. Ang alam ko lang, kahit natatagalan, eventually nakakahanap naman po ng work.

    Go lang ng go tayo. Mabuhay po sa lahat ng solo-flight! :D

    @itsssmeeecheng: Hi! Nope, working visa talaga ako. But I do have a few friends who are here in Brisbane on a student visa. Lahat naman sila, nakahanap ng work on a part-time basis.

    I guess, tiyaga lang din talaga. Dalawa sa friends ko are a couple on student visas and they have one child in school. Ok naman. :)

    Hahaha, nang-aasar si sir @lock_code2004! :D. @itsssmeeecheng, yup student visa po sila. Pero yung isa is working out to get sponsorship na for PR. Sa pagkakaintindi ko, mas ok kung nasa SOL ang course mo. Pero bigyan ka naman 4 years to work it out eh.

    Yakapsule? Joke lang po. :D. Malamang viral lang po yan. Malamig kasi talaga at hindi tayo sanay. Ako din ganyan. May mga cold syrup na OTC sa chemist warehouse or terry white. Pero di talaga kailangan. Rest, keep warm and lots of fluids. :)

    @itsssmeeecheng, yung isa mechanical eh. Yung wielder or something related. Tapos yung isa, lab scientist, parang ganun. Hehe, di ko masyado alam. Pero nasa SOL sila. Ako din, not familiar with applying for PR. Ang alam ko lang yung profession dapat nasa SOL. So, pwede mag apply as skilled migrant or regional-sponsored PR.

    @staycool wala pa nga eh. Mag-2 wks na akong nag-aabang. Bantay sarado email ko. Hahaha.
    Di ko pa ma-finalize plans hangga't walang grant. Pero iniisip ko kung ma-grant ako ng around Sept or Oct, ipagpapa-next year ko na lipad. Kasi mahirap ata maghanap ng work around end of the year.

    About sa lugar kung san mismo, sa Melbourne ang gusto ko. Pero kung papalarin ako makahanap ng work sa ibang part habang nandito pa ako sa singapore, go rin lang ako. =)
    Kapag ba SS talagang kelangan dun ka mag-work?
