[tennisgirl]

Hi! I'm currently in Melbourne. Malapit na ang spring pero ang lamig pa rin. Sabi ng aunte ko maiksi dw ang winter ngayon. Nakakaloka ang weather. Sa isang araw, umaaraw then maya-maya umuulan.

Regarding the Australian Visa in Bond Paper, I asked that to the immigration guy upon entering.  I told him the bond paper with my visa is stapled on the back of my passport...he said, "Oh, I don't need that, we are all electronic." He swiped my passport in some machine and there was no problem.
Problem lang with my Visa, they Embassy released it  more then 1 week after the actual release date on the Visa.  So apply early...I had to move my trip Kasi 1 week to go for the trip and still no Visa out.

^Oh thanks for that info! I was wondering about the Visa in bond paper. I knew there's gotta be a more permanent record somewhere, haha. Pero just the same, I scanned it and printed several copies! I'm going to Mel and Syd in 2 weeks. This is my second time after a decade! So spring na nga ba talaga?  I'm monitoring the temp regularly kasi sayang naman sa luggage space if I bring thick clothes or sobrang pang layer!

so excited for my Sydney trip next month, nasa bond paper nga ang Visa

I'm in Melbourne now! Cooooold!

Hi there, i've been to Australia ; in Cairns, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The weather is warm, everything is expensive from gadgets to clothes and toiletries. I think Cotton On lang mura dun haha! But if you're looking for nightlife, go to Cairns, there's a club there named Giligans very nice but as i said earlier everything's expensive. Sydney is a shopping capital, lots of signatured items.

mga sis, just got a message from Air21 today that I have a shipment scheduled to be delivered today. So i'm expecting passport ko yun. However, i did not get any email from them about my application status. Does this mean denied yung application ko?

[aprilcruise]

mga sis ask ko lang kung san nagpapa certified true copy ng passport, transcript of records, CoE and iba pang papers needed for assessment ng skills for australia?

[bratinella08]

@ pauweebabe: yah, everything is expensive nga daw in Aussie, sana may sale sa Cotton On pagpunta ko. Will be going to Sydney & Brisbane 

[snow25]

^sis bratinella08, marami naman cotton on outlet here in Australia.  Definitely there's one in DFO Homebush (NSW) and Brisbane DFO.    Palagi naman may sale ang cotton on kahit sa regular stores. 

[pauweebabe]

bratinella08, Actually sis, no need to wait for sale coz talagang mura sya, pero infairness magaganda mga binebenta nila Goodluck to your Aussie adventure

[rocky]

^nasa magkano yong short sis? kasi sa SG nakabili ako ng woth 300+ pesos na shorts during GSS. sakaling mura papabili na lang ako kay bf jan

[dr.smile]

totally agree.. super mura ng cotton on sa aus.. you can buy tops for 3-5$.
my bro got his pants for 5$, the only prob is walang button, we checked the price here, retail at 1999 pesos..

[papemelroti]
