I have a 3yr-old and boy is she good in 'walawe' and 'aiyooo' hahahaha! hinahayaan na lang namin siya tutal paalis na rin lang kami.
Same scenario na nag-apply kami for PR a few years ago but got rejected. And that rejection ultimately led us to the best path we will ever take - Australia!
God is indeed the best planner!
Some more (singlish hehe) the policies for foreigners here will leave us nowhere but under the seats of our local colleagues.
Unhealthy, really.
