Thats me yup Sorry to ask, Corleone. If I remember it right, mga 2008~2009 ko pa nakikita yung mga posts mo dun sa kabilang website. Nagka problema ka ba sa visa application mo at ngayon lang kayo nag Initial Entry? or di ka pa nag apply nung ti…

Very interesting, @TotoyOZresident! have you tried this before? Can you share your experience?

in Interested in "FREE EDUCATION" Online? Comment by johnandjosh August 2013
What I would suggest sa mga kbabayan natin about to migrate in Au e, paunahin muna yung main applicant kung wala pa siguradong work. Pasunurin na lang ang family once naka settle na. Hindi kasi biro ang mag-umpisa lalo na wala kayong relatives dit…

Sa tingin ko madali magkatrabaho dito sa Australia if you are not choosy. Pero kung gusto mo talaga yung sa linya mo, it will take time. Samahan nyo lang ng prayers.

Yung $400K na bahay, 3 bedroom, 2 bath at double garage na yun dito sa Qld. Maganda na rain ito at kumpleto na. Yung S600K, siguro 2 storey house na ito. I am not sure about the costs in Sydney and Melbourne. It's true na the closer to the CBD th…

Makasabat nga...Me and my wife are now building our home here in NW Qld. We are first time home owner kaya na avail namin yung FHOG na $15K. Our deposit was only 5% at tama kayo, we need to pay LMI na di naman ganun kataasan. We've been here in A…

For me, after na matalo sya ni Bradley dapat nag-retire na sya. Ayan ngayon, pumanget pa ang record nya. Tsk tsk. Nagiging gahaman na sya.

@Aiwink Walang fees incurred dun sa food handling course. It is an online course that will take about 2 hours to complete, then you can print your certificate. Ito yung isa-submit mo sa Family Day Care to prove na natapos mo yung online training. …

@PogingNoypi, dumating kami dito ng walang kakilala kahit sino. The only difference e may naghihintay sa aking trabaho at bahay for my family kaya siguro hindi takot kundi excitement ang naramdaman ng family ko nun. Ngayon ok na ok na kami pati mg…

in Sino po yung walang kakilala sa Aus? Comment by johnandjosh December 2012
Natawa naman ako sa response mo @li_i_ren. Actually gusto ko sana sagutin ito kaya lang baka ma-offend ko si @Aiwink. But with your response, baka na-offend na nga si @Aiwink at sana wag naman. In fairness sa response mo @li_i_ren, it was very …

@icebreaker1928, 4 kids ang maximum per carer. Since meron kaming 4 year old son, 3 lang ang pwede sa kanya, but she can still accept after school age, 4 din ang maximum. Pero ayaw na nya ng mga after school age dahil matitigas na ang mga ulo ng mg…

@sydneyblued, si misis lang ang tumitingin. Pero I have a blue card at kumpleto rin ako sa mga first aid training at kung anu-ano pa related training na kailangan nya. Pwedeng ako ang maiwan sa mga bata kung kailangan nyang umalis saglit. @lock, …

in Family with toddler, how did you manage? Comment by johnandjosh November 2012
That's true @li_i_ren do not expect na yung carer will do everything to your child. Yung ibang aussie dito sa area namin, they prefer Filipino carer for their children dahil nakikita nila talaga kung paano mag-alaga ang mga pinay. Yung mga bags ng…

@glaiza1210, as far as I can remember, yung sa Coles CC, my wife applied online, then same day tinawagan sya just to confirm her address. Tapos yun lang, after a week yata na-receive na nya yung CC. In my case naman sa Woolies CC, I also applied o…

in Credit Cards in Australia Comment by johnandjosh November 2012
Ok, the first thing we did was we went to the Family Day Care office and inquired kung anu-ano mga requirements to become a registered carer: 1. Apply for a blue card (both the carer and her spouse - as a support carer). Medyo matagal ito. It to…

Ha ha ha, ang dami nga mga pinoy dito gusto na sa wife ko magpa-carer. Kasi very considerate naman kami. Kung gusto nung bata na kumain nung mga food na kinakain namin binibigyan namin sya without charging his/her parents. Kasi may rules din sa F…

It seems mahirap maghanap ng child care anywhere in Aus. Here in Qld, we were also looking for a child care for our 4 year old son, we were on the waiting list and one child care centre called us after more than 1 year at tinatanong kami kung inter…

@jaero Salamat. Btw, at para na rin sa lahat ang tanong na ito, meron kayang employer na nagpapakuha ng exam? i have the same question in mind. sana may makasagot nito? in addition, dun sa interview - gaano katechnical ung mga tanong nila? than…

@LokiJr , at some point i would agree about the long term. Ang hindi ko gusto ay yung option to continue it, kelangan pang magpamember ulit thru Pag-IBIG International Operation Group tapos inactive yung isa. Di naman pwede ata na i convert na lang…
