@JCsantos like, super talo? Ang requirement lang kase sakin nung financer is at least market value for the whole term, eh syempre tagtipid muna kaya dun ako sa lower premium. Touch wood na sana di ko kailanganin. Kung sakali ata pwede ko namang ba…

Okay, sagutin ko yung sarili kong tanong hehe. If your house/unit is NBN-ready, i.e. may NBN equipment na kayo sa loob, mabilis lang sila magkabit. I went with TPG - applied online Sunday, Wednesday nasa akin na ang router at naikabit ko nang sobra…

I got a certified used car from the Citroën dealer mismo which is just 1km from my place. I actually met the owner of the dealership; it's a family-run business at puro Citroën lang sila since day one. Initially I was eyeing a 2007 C3 na automatic,…

Not really needed. Most employers aren't even aware that we actually undergo a skills assessment. They didn't even know I took the IELTS, they were like, "what's that?" Hehe

Matagal bago sya nag-sink in sa akin kase nga namasyal pa kami nun sa River Safari. It slowly dawned on me na sobrang bilis pala ng mga pangyayari.

in That Visa Grant Moment! - Ano Ba Yung Feeling? Comment by cholle November 2014
@wizardofOz it's near my current place of work (10 minute drive or 30 minute commute) and it's really close to the train station, 30 minutes to Central. I used to live in Blacktown and my commute to work was 1.5 hours (bus-train-bus).

@vhoythoy exactly! Yan ang isa sa mga una kong nakita nung ni-research ko yung area na to. Hehe. Medyo scary nga. Pero so far okay naman, tahimik sa amin, at safe yung building namin kase bago at medyo parang sg-style na condo na tipong may access c…

@wizardofOz yun lang, I doubt I could take my dog out for walks here. Lots of muslim Lebanese, baka tignan ako nang masama. I'll just have to drive her out to the park. I can take her for a walk sa may garden lang ng apartments siguro. Malaki ang ba…

So far, my area has been quiet at night. I also noticed the gentrification of the area, mostly due to the fact that the Chinese and Koreans have bought properties in and around Punchbowl. Pero medyo may stigma pa rin yung area sa mga puting locals n…

@kremitz I got a brand new 2BR 2 + bath (1 with tub) + assigned secure carpark for $450pw. Mainit-init pa ang susi, kahapon lang ang handover ng developer sa may-ari, nasa akin na ngayon hehe

@toploader I had a similar question in the NSW thread about certain suburbs being called unsafe by locals. Depende sa quality of crimes - are they crimes to property? To persons? Are they hate crimes? Sino usually ang victim/perpetrator? Sino yung n…

I think hindi na kelangan? They don't even need to know where we live eh (sa mga 189). But you won't lose anything naman by informing the CO.

I reckon you should contact the university themselves, since they each have their own criteria for admission anyway.

@duffygurl Yup, it takes lots of practice. AND reading. You need to read a lot because that's how you can expand your vocabulary and learn about different writing styles. I'd suggest reading Op-Ed articles in major broadsheets just to give you an …

@snider 1. Yup, skills assessment ang unang step. Kung IT profession most likely ACS ang assessing body but just double check. 2. May mga posts dito na same case mo. Usually mag-e-execute ka or yung ex-superior or colleague mo ng affidavit, pero k…

Sooo after all the talk of certain places being unsafe, I eventually ended up renting in the ghetto - at Punchbowl! Going to try the place for 6 months - balitaan ko kayo kung buhay pa ako after nun! Hehe

@mhej merong 60per month na unlimited, yun yung mas mababang speed 12/1. Eh walang sense yun haha kaya nga nbn para mabilis eh. @kremitz I ended up taking a brand new unit at Punchbowl, aka the ghetto! Mag-post ako sa kabilang thread later

in ISP and Telephone providers, Electricity and water, etc. Comment by cholle November 2014
@mhej yeah, that's what I thought. My new unit is definitely NBN-ready as I've confirmed on the nbn co website and I saw the box inside the unit as well. Sige, will shop around. Parang sulit yung 89.99 Unlimited 100/40 ng TPG hehe

^You mean waiting period (not cooling off). Anyone here on HCF? I know Medibank is pretty popular so I was considering them too but HCF have pretty okay plans rin pala, just want to know what their customer service is like.
