The company who employed me found me on LinkedIn. As in direct employer na siya, no recruiters or middlemen. He viewed me on LinkedIn, I added him, tapos nagmessage na siya about a job opportunity.
So I guess depende sa industry, it pays to keep it…
@loudandclear same tayo august din alis namin tapos PAL Mga ganyan din bili namin sa ticket.
@johnvangie I believe nasa 23Kilos per person ang baggage niyan. Though based lang naman yun sa nakuha din naming flight.
I think ang ibig sabihin nyan is, basta meron kang straight na 1year na nde lumabas ng AU in your entire 4 yrs dun, not necessarily na 4yrs dun na walang alisan.
e.g. 2yrs ka naka-457 visa, then you became PR either 189/190, then you have to wait …
@manofsteel hehe paranoid din lang ako sir. I don't want to risk anything or jeopardize yung chances. I guess I interpreted it in such a way na whatever decision I make, dapat pasok ako sa requirements.
@czha yup, eto naging main consideration namin why we decided to move earlier than planned. if sagarin namin yun one full year, baka hindi na kami makapag-vacation sa Manila in 4 yrs straight!
^guys basta wag niyo sagarin yung IED ha. consider niyo din, 5 years lang yang PR, then either apply for citizenship or PR renewal. Ngayon kung mag enter kayo na less than 4 years na lang natitira sa PR niyo...hindi na option mag apply for citizensh…
@IslanderndCity From SG, uwi muna kami Manila saglit to see our families lang muna kasi matagal tagal bago namin ulit sila makita eh. Big move is mid-August medyo nakaka-excite nga yung paghihintay dyan sa CO and finally sa grant! Frontloaded every…
@rooroo, kumusta ang move? Dumating na din mga gamit ninyo?
actually, kami rin, we have good jobs here in SG. may counter offer pa nga si hubby nung nag resign siya...but we're risking it for a better quality of life. We are praying it works out we…
@tartakobsky salamat! napa-pick up na yung mga gamit namin nung sabado btw, nakita ko nag ielts ka July 27, sa IDP ka ba? If oo, magkasabay pa pala tayo!
@tartakobsky, nga pala, pano mo pala nilagay yung label / barcode? Kasi na-print ko na. naka see through tape lang gamit mo? kahit san ba pwede ilagay? Hehe sorry dami tanong
@tartakobsky ah...naku. yun lang naman? wala naman kami mga babasagin na items. ang worry ko lang baka mamaya basa mga damit namin pagdating. or yung mga sapatos basa. and may bags kasi na laman din. pero I think maayos naman namin pinack. wala nama…
@tartakobsky thanks sa info! nagpa-schedule na kasi kami ng pickup bukas. Pero ang dating namin sa AU ay second week August pa. Hopefully pagdating namin sa tutuluyan namin eh, andun na din ang boxes Thanks.
@quackquack nakabili kami sa singpost mismo. medyo mahal lang, 8sgd per box (5sgd lang kasi expectation namin). Ewan ko kung may ibang alternative. Anyway, okay na rin para matapos na!
@tartakobsy thanks sa suggestion. would you know how much charges? isa pa namin naiisip is to buy AUD from pinoys in AU na din...tipong magdeposito na lang kami ng peso sa mga kapamilya nila sa sa Manila tapos magdeposit na lang sila AUD nila sa acc…

@rooroo @tasburrfoot question naman. yung pinadala niyo bang money sa AU, galing SGD? pano kung peso yung savings na balak ko ilagay sa NAB account ko..? Pano kaya pinaka sulit?
