Migrants Life in Oz after 2 or more years :-)

johnvangiejohnvangie MelbournePosts: 686Member
Hello po.
Sana po may mag-share...
Since October 2013 kasi nagbabasa na ako dto sa forum. Halos lahat ng thread nabasa ko na. Super like ko ang mga thread na Bakit Australia? SG, Canada, Pinas and Oz comparison, Single Migrants at madami pa. Nakaka inspire talaga... Though may mga thread din na parang sobrang kelangan ng lakas ng loob para sa new life dyan sa Oz. Minsan nga pinagpapawisan ako ng malamig pag may topic na nakakapanghina ng loob.
Ang dami kong ini-idolo dto sa forum, maraming salamat sa walang sawang pag share nyo ng tulong at experience nyo!
Kumusta po ang buhay nyo lalo na pag nalagpasan na yun pinaka challenging na finding a job.
Is it really worth po ba? Pangarap po kasi namin mag-asawa na makatulong kahit sa maliit na paraan sa aming pamilya, kaibigan, church kaya po nag decide kaming mag apply sa Australia.

Sana po may mag share ng buhay dyan after 2 or more years :-)

GOD BLESS po sa ating lahat.

    Hello,

    1 yr pa lang kami sa Australia last week but we have been living out of the country for more than 5 years ni misis...

    Are we happy? Very much... Our lives is less stressful and better quality-wise than we were still living in Manila. In Manila, it was like you can barely save plus the expenditure there is very expensive compared to what you are earning. Dito, it is expensive but you somehow survive kasi mataas naman ang salary compared to what you earned in the Philippines.

    Homesickness? Not really... Me and my wife thrive on living independently; plus tawag every week, watsapp, etc... Thing is, with technology you can be able to keep in touch more efficiently now than when we left 5 yrs back.

    We go home every once in a while to visit family (though di pa kami naka-uwi since landing last yr here in Melbourne). Currently, my mom and 3 siblings are here for a few weeks so ayun bonding.

    Would I look back and go back to the Philippines? No... Harsh as it may sound, I don't think the Philippines does not have a bright future for myself and my future family. Simply put, we are now in a better place and we will do our very best to remain here for good.

    Hope this helps!

    I've been living here in Au 3 yrs na, and I would say its really been a very good, and fulfilling journey. I love my life here as compared sa SG and Phils. Sa SG non, nako feeling ko napaka boring at parang nakakakulong sa 4 na sulok. I was fortunate also na dto ko nakuha ung job na I always dreamed, npakabait na boss (before she would go home tatanungin nya kami if we have "rubbish" na itatapon para sya na magtatapon since nauuna sya umuwi kaysa amin), never ginawa to ng mga naging boss ko in Pinas or in SG, pag namunga ung lemon tree nya she would bring a lot to the office to share, every Christmas she would give every one of us a gift. Ung mga Aussies na officemates ko mahilig clang magdala ng cakes, donuts at lollies kahit walang occasion trip lang nila :) . Our Ops manager since na meet nya ung mom ko at ung brother ko nung nag business trip sya sa branch office sa Phils, kc nagpadala ko sa kanya ng konti for them, sabi ng nanay ko nilibre p nga daw cla ng dinner, he would always ask me how they are doing. In general, I found the Aussies as thoughtful, considerate and very friendly people.

    Ayaw ko lang dto sa Melbourne, pa winter na ulit kaya malamig na...thinking of moving to Queensland only thing that is holding me back is ung job ko dto kc its really a very good company, galante sa pagbgay ng annual increase, trainings/courses (they're paying my certification course which is more or less ~10KAUD kung ako ang magbabayad) my profit sharing din though not as big as compared nung binibigay nung employer ko nun sa SG pero at least meron kahit papano which is sabi nila bihira daw dto sa Aus ang mga companies n nagbbgay ng profit sharing. :)

    @TasBurrfoot Hello po. Maraming Salamat talaga sa pag share. Actually, super IDOL ko kayo dito sa forum. Gustong gusto ko kasi un mga topic na nasimulan nyo. Yung SG based dropped here, Tipid Tips sa Australia, Weekly Budget, Australian Bank, Electricity, Water Budget, marami pa... Kasi kagaya nyo, pina-practice namin ni hubby ang frugal and simple living :-) And I'm proud to say na naituturo na namin ni hubby sa 6yr old son namin ang pag-apply ng simple at tamang pagtitipid na di naman na co-compromise ang happy family life, un occasionally is may luho din kami like SG family vacation last June :-)
    Nasa 2yrs pa lang namin na totally practice ang conscious spending na dapat NEED lang at di WANTS :-) Kaya nga thankful ako kay LORD na He gives me the right timing and wisdom sa pag guide sa family life namin. Kasi I'm very hopeful na ma-a-achieve namin dyan sa Australia ang aming highest potential :-) Sa kahit simpleng paraan kasi, pangarap kong makatulong sa parents namin, sa family and friends na hindi naman ganun nagagawa dito sa Pinas sa average sweldo namin.
    Alam po naman namin ni hubby na hindi dapat mag expect ng ganun kataas dyan sa maging output ng aming career at family life pero through GOD's guidance and blessings, very hopeful and positive kami na kaya namin maka-ipon dyan, makapag-invest at makapag share.
    Maraming salamat po talaga sa pag-share and sana po mas marami pa ang makapag-share.
    GOD Bless po!

    Been here for 7 years now and all I can say is its DEFINITELY worth it to stay here

    Let me tell you the following that make it worthwhile living in Australia

    No big deal sa work kung ma late ka, mag work from , mag leave ng isang buwan or mag sick leave dahil inuubo

    You get to spend more time in family, ngayon ko nga lang naranasan maka uwi ng may araw pa

    Travel time from work is just a maximum of 1 hour

    Benefits , Free Medical Check-up

    Loan sa bangko is a breeze

    You get to learn a lot of DIY things

    Systematic ang proseso, you learn how to que

    I've been here 1 year, madali ba buhay? nope, mas maganda ba quality of life compared to PH or SG? YES!

    Pag nag-trabaho ka dito, more or less comfortable ang buhay mo, pero don't ever think na basta pumunta ka ng Australia madali na. May mga crimes din, may mga magugulong lugar, may nag-nanakaw, things na na-experience mo sa kahit saan namang bansa. Yung benefits and lifestyle ang pinunta namin dito, so far worth it!

    Just look at the news yesterday ( 16/04/2014 )

    Our Premier resigned for just a simple 3000$ ( approximately 120,000 pesos ) of undeclared gift that the anti-corruption committee has found out

    Sa atinang mga politiko kahit milyon milyon na ang nanankaw at nahuli na sobrang kakapalan ng mukha at sinasabi na wala silang alam ... dito meron silang delicadeza sobrang high ang standard ng mga politiko

    @JCsantos Yes, sad but true, nakakalungkot at nakaka disappoint ang corruption dito sa Pinas. Yun BIR nga, mas matindi na ang rule sa pag singil ng residence certificate or cedula. Pagka release ng ITR sa office, i-mo-monitor talaga kun nabayaran ng tama ang cedula. Ok lang naman sana, kaso nga walang balik ang gobyerno sa binabayad na tax... Kahit ilang buwan na nasa news ang mga nangurakot wala lang... balik normal citizen lang ang buhay nila, un iba nga nananalo pa ulit sa election. :-(

    Kami ng pamilya ko ay magsisimula pa lang ng buhay dito sa Australia. Mapalad ako at nabigyan ng chance na maranasan ang buhay dito na wala kaming pinoproblema sa gastos sa bahay at ibang mga expenses. Hiniram ako ng Perth office namin for a short term assignment at lahat sagot nila pati accommodation and allowances. Wala pa akong masyadong maisshare sa buhay dito sa Australia, though isang medyo di ok ay ang sobrang napakamahal na pamumuhay dito. Kaya isang maipapayo ko sa mga papunta pa lang ay siguraduhing may enough baon talaga dahil napakahirap kung mapapasubo kayo dito. Wag na wag ninyo mamaliitin yung mga sinasabing kelangan meron kayong enough resources that will support your stay for up to 3-6months dahil totoo po iyon lalo na kung wala kayong kaibigan o kamag-anak na malalapitan dito. Ang pamasahe ay sobrang napakamahal. Ang $10sgd ko ay ilang byahe na sa Singapore, pero ang $10aud dito ay isang balikan lang halos. Good thing is, me and my family are staying in an apartment inside Perth CBD, at libre lahat ng pamasahe dito basta within Free Transit Zone (FTA).

    Di maganda ang takbo ng economy ng Australia ngayon kaya madaming mga jobless. Madaming Filipinos din ang napipilitang umuwi (esp 457 visa holders) dahil nahihirapang makahanap ng trabaho. Kahit yung boss ko dito naikwento sakin na parang may order ata ang government sa mga employers na unahin muna i-hire ang mga locals na walang trabaho bago maghire ng foreigners. Katulad lang din ng nangyayari ngayon sa Singapore. Medyo scary yun dahil kapag di magiimprove ang economy ng AU, baka mahirapan na rin kami maghanap ng trabaho kapag magdecide na kami ng final move dito.

    Bago pa lang kami dito kaya parang ramdam ko pa ang lungkot. Dito ko narealized ang importance of having your own vehicle dahil limited lang din ang mapupuntahan mo kung magcommute. Kapag weekend, wala halos tao sa CBD area, andun sila lahat nag out-of-town. Hahaha… Maayos na rin naman ang mode of transportation dito sa city area, pero kapag nasa suburb na, medyo mahirap na ang magcommute. Hindi katulad sa SG na kahit sa kasuluk-sulukan ay di ka mahihirapan sa pagsakay2.

    Ang isang nakakatuwa dito ay mababait ang mga locals. Sa office namin, matutuyo ang laway mo dahil bawat makasalubong ay makikipagkwentuhan. Maghanda ka na ng kwento mo every Monday dahil siguradong tatanungin ka kung ano ginawa mo ng weekend. Isa sa mga inaalala ko noon ay mataas daw ang rate ng discrimination dito. Pero mukhang hindi ata totoo yun dahil sila ang mga taong nakita kong pinakamababait sa tanang buhay ko. Well.. nasasabi ko ito dahil dko pa naeexperience ang mabully ng local. Sa Singapore, walang pansinan ang mga tao dun kahit nagbabanggaan na kayo. Kapag may makasalubong ka sa opisina, yuyuko na lang para di kayo magkausap. Dito sa AU, ibang iba ang culture nila. Dito, pagsasakay ka ng bus, babatiin ka kaagad ng driver, pagbaba naman magtthank you ka at sasagot sila ng “No worries, good day, or good night.” Nakakatuwa lang talaga..

    @clickbuddy2009 Thanks very much po sa pag-share. Nakakagaan ng loob ang friendly attitude ng Aussies. Isa nga sa main concern namin ni hubby is ang funds na need namin madala dyan kahit matagal tagal pa ang journey ng application namin. Halos lahat na ng thread dito ay nabasa ko na. Scary at need talaga ng lakas ng loob ang pagsisimula ng buhay bilang migrant, specifically ang timeframe kun kelan magka work. Sana po lahat ng new migrants kabayan natin dyan ay magkaron na ng work kahit na hindi ganun kaganda ang economy ng Oz ngaun. Kelan po kayo dumating dyan? God bless you and your family.
