But yeah, para sa mga may agam agam regarding sa gastos... isipin nyo na lang 10 years from now, you're gonna look back to this day pag nasa AU na kayo and maiisip nyo na you guys are so glad gumastos kayo ng extra for whatever para lang makapunta sa AU
Freedom and goodlife aint cheap, some pay blood, sweat and tears para lang makuha yun, good thing for us, may opportunity and option na bayaran ng pera hahahah! But then again, we have to be sure na we are ready para sa mga bagay na kelangan ng effort (like IELTS and all)... This is immigration application thingy is a very dragging process, but I'm very very sure, it's gonna be worth it

Tingin ko okay naman sa BC, saka mas mura remarking sa kanila. IDP hassle kasi sakin mas malayo yun office and venue. Meron lang siguro ako kakulangan sa writing exam ko kaya kinulang din sa points na 0.5. But this time, dagdagan ko pa effort. Konti lang din kasi review ko dun.

Regarding your Teacher Skills, Im not well educated with that. I think you can still make it if you hire an agent. Wala bang agent sa place mo ngyon?
Also, I think they dont require a show money if you're applying for a visa.

Haha. Baka magkakilala. Hehe. By pair lang kasi sa table, hehe. Ewan ko nga eh, hindi siya mapakali talaga. Super likot. Tapos pag magbura anlakas talaga, Hahaha. During listening nainis talaga ako and nadistract. Pero later during the test, natatawa na lang ako sa sarili ko. Haha. Sana lang huwag ako bumaba sa 7 na score sa Listening. Anyway 30/40 = 7 pa based sa website ng BC. 29/40 ang 6.5. Good luck samin ni hubby mo, sana pareho kaming masaya sa grade namin come March 2.
Sigurado alam din ng husband mo, ang hirap ng Listening kahapon. Pero yun reading and writing, madali lang yun topics. Pati yun sa reading, interesting yun mga binabasa. Haha. Tapos writing is a very familiar topic para sa lahat. And then sa speaking, madali din. I hope last take ko na ito and makapag-move on na sa next step ng application.
