Ako po, single, flying to Oz early next year...
As regards your question if I am READY to leave my current life and take the risk down under...to be honest with you, I am not THAT ready yet since there are a lot of preps. to be done but I have at least 6 months to prepare myself: emotionally, financially, psychologically, and as some put it, ABNORMALLY too...hehe
I believe that all this effort will be worth it..it MUST be...no room for negativity here...In the first place, ginusto ko to kaya ko nga pinlano. I am ready to take that leap of faith for a chance for a better and brighter future. I am ambitous and I want the best for myself, and for my future family. I don't want to look back in my life and realize mga "what ifs"... GOD has granted me this VISA and I believe HE has a better plan for me. HE directed my life to this and I have faith that all hardships will have an end...
Sa trabaho naman, kahit naman sino naghihirap maghanap sa umpisa, almost losing hope kung walang makita... kaya nga we need to prepare ourselves for all these...expect it coming. There will be friends along the way who can help us get through this. Dito sa pinoyau nagkaroon na din ako ng mga kaibigan kahit hindi ko pa nakikita. They give me hope and encourage me. That is enough for me to know na I am not alone in my journey.
I hope kahit papaano I have answered your question... don't worry, hindi ka nag-iisa...hehe >:D<

Tuh-muh, di nag-iisa! Wag ka mag worry much about making friends, madami naman ikaw makikilala pinoys along the way. Go lang ng go (kahit daunting minsan, sa totoo lang).
Ok nga yung sa inyo, PR na agad. Ako, I'm still working on it. Pero ika nga, iba-iba naman tayo challenges. So... sulong mga kapatid

Saka na lang isipin kung may visa na. At malamang by then, masasayangan ka na din sa visa.
In short, this is as good time as any to come. In a few years, baka di na ganito ang magiging opportunity natin. As it is, mga Briton, Canadian, nagsisidatingan na. Competition na din yan sila.
P.S. Akala ko to si Napoles, madami pera. I guess hindi nabibili ng pera ang delikadesa and sentido common.

add ko lang po ulit para sa mga aspirants...sometimes, we just have to have faith sa selves natin...sarili lang naman natin ang makakatulong sa sarili natin eh...tayo lang din po ang makakapag-angat sa sarili natin...and faith kay LORD most of all!
isa pa, nakaabot po tayo sa "ganitong graduate tayo ng magandang career", and yung iba nga nakayanan nilang makakuha ng visa at magkaroon ng magandang buhay sa ibang bansa...why can't we? di ba? if not NOW, then WHEN?..If not US, then WHO?...hehe...mga ganung bagay lang...
honestly, tao lang po ako, at nakakaramdam ng sobra sobrang takot sa gagawin ko...nagkakaroon ng mga doubts sa sarili ko...na baka wala akong trabahong makuha, wala akong magandang kinabukasan dun...there are "specific others" who are trying to discourage me na kesyo bakit magpapaalipin sa mga dayuhan, and na ang pag-iibang bansa ay hindi para sa lahat...mga workds of DISCOURAGEMENTS kumbaga...hay, ang ginagawa ko sa mga ganyan, dinedelete ko, tanggalin mga taong ganyan sa buhay mo...haha!!...dapat mapaligiran tayo ng positive people...people who are willing to help and support us sa PAG-ANGAT at hindi sa PAGLUBOG natin...ayt??

isipin nio 20s pa lang kayu pinalad kayu at andito na kayu. yung iba 40+ pa bago naisipang mag oz. maghanda lang kayo ng dalawang items: financial at mental hehe. FINANCIAL kasi mahal dito. lahat mahal sa oz, kahit band aid mahal! MENTAL naman kasi malaki ang oz at kunti pinoy dito. minsan sa isang buwan, 1-3 pinoy lang makikita mo hehe! sa adelaide yan, di ko alam sa ibang state. sa una ok pero pag natagalan ka dito at walang steady na trabaho, walang kakilala, etc baka mabaliw ka. kung single ka sa nsw, qnsland, o victoria ka bagay. wag adelaide baka masira-an ka ng bait dito.
CONGRATS AT GOODLUCK SA INYO!
