• @emily_strange For Q1: naalala ko parang wala ngang way to upload additional documents. You have no choice i think but to wait for a CO who will then ask you to email the additional documents

• Ang tingin ko kasi sa Parramatta parang Jurong East hehe. Don't want to live there but yeah it's convenient.

• @vhoythoy I'm currently staying in Blacktown. Nah I don't like it here so much. Masyadong malayo na for me. @wizardofOz medyo okay lang siguro Parramatta Pero ang preference ko talaga is Inner West, East, or Lower North Shore. Ideally near parks …

• @multitasking @mhej Thanks for the tips! Initially planned to get Medibank pero nabasa ko somewhere na mas maganda raw hospital cover ng HCF. Sa extras sige sulitin ko yan, punta na ako agad ng dentista as soon as covered na at wala nang waiting per…

• Take note though that visiting a place does not give you the whole picture (iba ang pananaw ng turista sa residente) but it will give you at best an idea of the area's geography, public transport, and maybe food and transport costs. Yung weather and…

• Looking into taking private health cover fairly soon. Was just wondering what your experiences are with HCF / Medibank / Bupa. I'd like to hear from people who have actually made claims for various medical treatments or check-ups or basically anyth…

• @kremitz Totoo nga -- kung laking Maynila ka alam mong meron talagang mga delikadong lugar. Pero ang safety net kasi natin kahit papano lokal tayo eh, we know the language, alam natin kung saan tatakbo for help, etc. Dito kasi medyo iba. May mga sub…

  in NAATI Exam Comment by cholle November 2014
• From another forum: NAATI test - What to expect It seems like a tall order and too much effort to put in for such a small reward, unless this is going to be your livelihood as well (not even sure if it's in the SOL/CSOL). Might be easier to just …

• STUFF Stuff used as a noun (referring to things) is already plural. No need to add -s, i.e. mali po ang 'stuffs'. E.g. I have so much stuff in my room. The only time you can add -s to stuff is if it is used as a verb (as in stuffing things into a …

• @sonsi_03 @acrossborder As long as valid naman yung reason for not working (e.g. child care, nag-alaga ng may sakit, nag-aral, sabbatical, etc.), I suppose they'll understand it if they feel that you are highly qualified for the job.

  in I'm having difficulty finding a job. Comment by cholle November 2014
• Was considering this too. Sayang din kasi, pwedeng raket ang pagiging NAATI-accredited translator. Siguro pag nagkaroon na ako ng maraming oras uli, subukan ko rin

  in NAATI Exam Comment by cholle November 2014
• @acrossborder I don't think it's an issue. Syempre mas gusto ng gobyerno na bumalik sa workforce ang mga matagal nang natengga. As long as your skill set / qualifications match *almost exactly* what they need, employers will be interested. Otherwise…

• @merc2013 just to better understand.. Why did you move to Au? Yup, I don't get this either - why are there a lot of POM's moving to Oz if the systems are better there? Is it just the weather? Or no choice because work sent them down under?

  in Bakit Australia? Comment by cholle October 2014
• @wizardofOz Same boat - both fiance and I lived in several places, worked in different countries abroad before moving to Au, flied a lot. It wasn't a problem for us really. I mean, malapit na sa finish line, tiyagain niyo na lang. It's not that hard…

  in Share your Airline/Ticket Fee/Departure Date/Destination Comment by cholle October 2014
• I think the question has been pretty much answered - just make sure you've uploaded (frontloaded) all the required docs, and you'll get a direct grant. Again, there really is no secret! And that's what I like about the Australian immigration process…
