@thegreatiam15 tama si @tasburrfoot - they don't care, it doesn't mean as much to them that we're Pinoy because there are so many other races here, tsaka tingin ko mas may reputation yung iba kesa sa atin

$90 per month ako ngayon, NBN 100/40 mbps na unlimited sa TPG, mukhang good value na sya! Bak Kut Teh sa Balestier Road ang namimiss ko! Meron kayang bak kut teh rito? Mahanap nga... At dahil tumira ako noon sa tabi ng Mustafa, namimiss ko rin ang…

@thegreatiam15 mas mabilis yung internet ko rito kesa sa sg, nasa NBN kasi ako rito, sa Sg di kami nagpa-NBN sa unit. Pero in general sabihin marami pang naka-adsl at minsan mabagal sya depende sa ISP, location, busy servers, etc

@thegreatiam15 Tuwing nagcocommute ako rito, namimiss ko yung frequency of buses and trains diyan, tsaka mura at generally safe na mga taxi! I also sometimes miss cheap meals outside and some stores / brands (would you believe ngayon pa lang sila ma…

Question nga pala, meron na bang nakapag-try mag-ship ng stuff to Australia na wala pang nakukuhang tirahan don? If yes, san nyo pinadala? Same question... Saan niyo po pinadala? Hihingan kayo ng destination address sa mga forms, hindi ata pwe…

My theory is that it's hard to market because it's too diverse. When you take a foreigner to a Filipino restaurant, what dish would you make him try for him to remember distinctly what Filipino flavor is? Sa dami ng putahe natin, you need somethin…

@Andoy31 I didn't but that's not a bad idea!

@vhoythoy co-comment sana ako sa post mo na maraming choices ng food sa Sg - yup pmaraming pero actually mas maraming choices rito sa Australia. Fresh produce pa, unlike Singapore where everything is imported kaya pilit sa hinog usually ang fruits. …

Sobrang malas mo nalang tlaga kapag ikaw pa na random check. Having said this, I ask you... Do you really think it is worth risking your visa? For me, it is not. Exactly. And someone posted on another thread that a colleague had his visa cance…

@wizardofOz My partner lived in the UK and in the US (Arizona) and sabi niya sa akin he was expecting Oz to have a similar vibe to the UK pero actually mas parang Arizona raw sya. Or at least yung area namin.

@wizardofOz I stayed with my cousin's family on my first month. Sinwerte ako sa rental unit ko - sa realestate kasi ako nagtitingin madalas noon, may tinignan akong isang unit through an agent. Sabi ko sa agent i-check nya muna sa owner kung payag s…

in Looking for a Studio/1BR/Granny Flat in Sydney Comment by cholle January 2015
Search on domain or realestate.com.au - malaking area yang 30 minutes by train to city. I suggest narrowing it down to specific suburbs then proceed with your search from there.

@retake Uy oo nga, same first day! At halos pareho tayo na umuwi rin muna ng Pinas, pero bumalik ako saglit sa Singapore bago nag-big move. Mga half an hour away ka lang sa amin, nasa Punchbowl ako tingin ko may mga Pinoy rin diyan sa southwest, pe…

Just a quick update: di ako nahirapan masyado maghanap ng dog-friendly place. Medyo sinwerte lang. My dog is in quarantine right now and by this time next week kasama na namin siya rito sa apartment. I can't wait!

@tuchul Ah, I get it. Although I think what I'm trying to say is, if I got to keep mine, then I don't see why you shouldn't btw I used the Sg licence to get myself a full licence upon moving out here so I think you shouldn't surrender it anyway, it…

I wasn't even an Sg PR but I still have my Sg licence with me; they didn't ask me to surrender it. No one will. My DL is still supposed to be valid until 2019 anyway. I mean, do we surrender our Ph DL's when we leave as well?
