ipalamon sa mga puti baon ng anak mo

kahit saan meron, pero pwedeng iwasan. subukan kaya nating ipasok ang isang pinoy sa morialta at yung isang pinoy naman sa salisbury east. baka sa sobrang pango ng anak eh, guro pa mismo titira dyan hehehe...

@siri

Hi there you are welcome to meet us. Ideally sunday after the 11am church at St Francis Xavier (Wakefield at CBD) nagkikita ang group.

Everyone is welcome to come just let me know.

emjdee · August 2013

@doubleduzi - ah yeah totoo nga pwede iwasan

ikaw ba mismo ang naka-experience nyan? i dont think its THAT bad kc nagkalat ang mga asian sa northern suburbs. mga kakilala ko rin na pinoy.. wala rin naman namemention na ganyan ang trend sa northern based schools. dito ko lang nga iyan narinig. may mga kakilala ako na nagcocomplain about "bullying" pero hindi sila taga-north. wala naman ako inisip abt it because i think kahit san naman dito sa SA meron nun

Malungkot ba sa Adelaide? Sobrang aga daw mag sara ng mga shops compared to Melb and Sydney. Galing kami Melbourne, but I have a job prospect sa Lonsdale. I have been to Adelaide but only for the final interview and didn't get to see much.

emjdee · August 2013

@lctan1 - ang alam ko po, same lang business hours ng shops/malls across australia (hindi lang sa ADL). generally, maaga talaga mag-close dito 7PM pag weekdays (except Thursday na until 9pm). pag weekend naman, hanggang 5PM lang. yung mga pubs and restos hindi covered nito.

minsan may mga groceries sa suburbs na open til 9pm pag Friday - katulad sa amin.

hope this helps! goodluck sa interview! wow lonsdale, never been there.. pero i think malayo sha? regional area na?

doubleDuzi · August 2013

may anak ka na ba pre? halatang wala eh, hehe...

ikaw ba mismo ang naka-experience nyan?

sabihin na lng natin ako nga mismo naka experience nian pero di na ko mag eelaborate pa sau.

i dont think its THAT bad; dito ko lang nga iyan narinig.

hindi sila taga-north.

...malay, baka taga torrensville?

wala naman ako inisip abt it because i think kahit san naman dito sa SA meron nun

oo, nung lunes nga maaga pa may patayan na sa central market di ba?

trigger happy sa pooraka, wala lang...

sa mga wala pa dito at gustong manirahan sa adelaide; steer clear sa northern suburbs. di porket walang (pang) nangyayari sa mga yan eh ok na. taka nga ako bat sobrang mura ng bahay dyan eh, hmmm... bat kaya? pero syempre pag ikinumpara natin sa quiapo yan, mukhang disneyland na ang elizabeth.

emjdee · September 2013

@doubleduzi i never said anything abt having kids, ang sabi ko marami akong kakilalang asian/pinoy na based sa north at sila ang meron anak.

i guess what i'm trying to say is.. to avoid generalizing. i'm aware na may mga areas sa north na may "reputation" and oo as per ur post above - yan ang mga suburbs na popular sa news... however just to clarify especially for those who havent arrived yet here in adelaide din na malaki ang northern area and the suburbs that @doubleduzi mentioned (e.g. pooraka, elizabeth) ay located far north. if im not mistaken, elizabeth is considered regional north na. yun lang naman po, peace!

Going back to @Santi's question - usually naman sa suburbs eh meron na groceries, schools, etc.. if ang concern mo tlg eh ung sa school ng anak mo.. what would probably help u is to check un atar ranking ng school. usually meron sila nipupublish na top schools.. may category jan na public/private/catholic. andun na rin un area/suburb kung san located school. u can research more about the suburb by asking here or pwede rin check mo if nababalita un sa news. i hope this helps u!

Hi! We lodged our visa last Thursday. Glad na naka habol before another increase for visa cost will take effect. God willing if our visa will be granted, we plan to go to Adelaide. Love the place by merely reading about it via Internet. But my concern is the employment. My husband is an Industrial engineer and I finished psychology but been working in a telco retail shop. Since we plan to go there without any employer yet, how long is the average waiting time to get a job? Others said that most jobs available for migrants are technical jobs and after gaining enough experiece you are able to work based on your profession. How true is this?

kenjeex · September 2013

Hi po, I'm looking for a short term lease mga 3 months room or bedspace lang po habang nasa probationary period pa. I need to report sa job on Sept. 16. Ung place of work ko po somewhere sa Thebarton area. Wala po akong car so hopefully accessible ung public transpo. Sana ung mga 30 mins lang ang layo sa place of work ko. I'd appreciate any help or referrals finding a place to stay temporarily. Thank you po and God Bless.

kenjeex · September 2013

@melly ano exact address mo? meron ako job offer somewhere sa Thebarton, wondering kung feasible ung place mo sa place of work ko. Need to report on Sept. 16. Thanks a lot.

maldita · September 2013

Hello everyone! newbie here

Meron po kming pending Visa application (waiting for SG PCC results next week!) and if all goes well sa Adelaide ang tungo nmen. My husband is the main applicant and we will be bringing our 1yo son along.

Meron bang waiting time before ma-accomodate ung son nmen sa Childcare sa Adelaide? Kng meron nman, how long ung waiting time? And how much ung usual fee? Wla kse kmeng relatives sa Adelaide and we are figuring out kng pano ung magiging arrangement para sa little one.

May sure job na ako pgdating ko sa AU (pumayag ung boss ko na mgpalipat ako sa Adelaide office:)), si husband n lng ang mghahanap ng work. So in case he needs to go for an interview, we need someone to look after the little one.

Thank you!

lctan1 · September 2013

@emjdee mga 30 min south of airport lang yung lonsdale. San ba mga suburbs ng Asians sa Adelaide?

sk8rpot · September 2013

@Ren

Hello, sent you a message. Sa St. Francis din ako nagsisimba, san banda kayo nagstay? Would like to meet you all. Been here in Adelaide for 2 mos. Sama naman sa kitaan nyo!

epiboy99 · September 2013

sama din ako sa meet up. 1 week pa lang ako sa Adelaide.

emjdee · September 2013

@lctan1 hello! mas maganda siguro if doon ka na malapit sa lonsdale kumuha ng bahay para hindi ka na mahirapan pagpunta ng work. to answer your question - kalat kalat ang mga asians, pero ang napapansin ko marami po nakatira sa northern suburbs/CBD area. i won't recommend getting a house in the northern/CBD area though dhil out of the way yan sa work mo

thanks!

raiden14 · September 2013

ok ba sa Adelaide? im yearning towards applying a state sponsorship here. Parang mas gugustihn ko sya kesa the busy NSW. Anyway, we are family or 3. Di ba problema dito ang school for kids? My baby will be 2 yrs old come January.

Ren · September 2013

@raiden14
Hi there! Yup okay here in adelaide if you prefer quiet life. And also you can aim for PR State sponsored mas better, especially with a baby, so you can take advantage of the "no wait" centrelink benefits for the children. Good luck!

dakz · September 2013

hello..ano po ba ung recommended apps sa smartphone to know the bus and train timing around adelaide? dito kasi sa sg mai mga free apps for buses to know arrival time, finding nearest bus stop, routes, etc.

qgnd · September 2013

@dakz wala pong sbs o smrt grade na apps dito.

dakz · September 2013

@qgnd ano po gamit nyo? google maps lang?

qgnd · September 2013

@dakz hindi po comparable ang efficiency at convenience ng public transporation infrastructure ng adelaide sa singapore.

google maps lng po gamit ko at tingin dun sa timetables: http://www.adelaidemetro.com.au/timetables/all

pag nandito npo kayo, nanaisin nu rin bumili ng sariling sasakyan.

Ren · September 2013

@dakz
I use google maps on iphone and Adelaide Metro apps.

Depending on your situation (for example with kids or working on after office hours) then car is a must. But if your work is in the city or within the metropolitan area, then you will be fine.
