See You Later Australia- Hello Philippines

I will be coming home for my wedding. I am excited at the same time scared of this new stage in my life. I have thought of this since I was young and now its definitely coming into life. I will lose my bachelor's life and I am excited about this new life call Marriage.

I dread every minute without her. I long for her like a child to her mother. I need her warmth and encouragement. I miss being with her while I am away working here in Australia.

All my life, I never loved anyone more than my fiancee. She is my beacon of hope. Without her, I have no strength. She has become my foundation, holding my wits together so I could keep myself in one piece. She protects me from anything that may harm me or our relationship. I knew, from the first time I saw her, in her eyes, I could see my unborn children. I really hope it turns a lot like their mother.

I always loved her. She may be like most girls, pretty, charming and nice. But, the best thing I like about her was she was determined, never gives up, strong willed, and smart. She belongs to me and she will become the pillar of my future empire. She will run along side me planning and building. She will soon be the most powerful girl, I could always tell it was inside her.

There will always be someone for everyone. I found my someone 7 years ago. I had doubts that we may never last but all that is now past. I look forward now for my future with her. I am really excited to live life along side her.

My Little Laid Back Aussie Life

Its been over 2 months now since I arrive here in Australia. I love living and working here. Everything is great as of now. And I hope things will get better and better as I explore this new world called O.Z.

I celebrated my birthday here. It was nice because my fellow mates in my office bought me a cake and we had a little chit chat during the afternoon break. It was definitely different here because where I came from its usually the birthday boy who treats everybody in the office. I never lost that tradition, I treated my relatives to dinner that night.


I love fishing. Its really fun! My niece took me fishing at Barwon Heads and it was nice. I love the serenity of the bay while the fishes nibble on my bait. I caught a Ling fish and it was a great sight. My mates were also happy for my first fish. It was really beginners luck. The most thing I love about fishing was the beer inside the cooler. It was so manly and refreshing. I would do it again and again. I think I found my calling.


I will be back to the Philippines for my wedding. I am really excited for my wedding. I will take my wife in Australia and live happily here and also my kids to be. I am really excited about my future here. I wish all my friends and family could experience this. I am having the best times of my life.

Wedding of The Year

I am definitely getting married this December 13, 2008. I've been waiting for this to come and of course have my own family to take care. It was more than a year since I proposed to her and it will now take action after careful planning.

I really am happy to do this. I prepared for this for so long and now that I have saved for the wedding, everything is good to go.

Morning is doing all the preparations and I am supporting her while she's doing all the planning. The people around us will be happy for this event. It has been 7 years of strong relationship that led us to go to the next level.

I will raise my new family here in Australia. I am confident that my family will grow up nicely and comfortably. I thank thee Australia for making dreams come true.

Working Man in Australia

That is right, I am now working in Australia. I did not imagine doing this when I graduated. I really cannot believe that I am now living my dreams. I am happy in my work place and people here are so friendly. I do miss the Philippine style of working - underpaid and overworked. In here it is the opposite.

I really like to help some of my peeps in our country. I want to help in my own way. I will start of course with my loved ones then when I have no one to help, nah!! There will always be someone looking for help.

I guess dreams do come true if you work for it. May Luck be with you!!!!

Australian-Filipino Life

I will start work on Monday!

After three weeks of hanging around and touring Victoria, Australia, I will have the chance to work as an Australian. It took quite a while but the wait is worth it. The pay is good and I already things in mind to buy on my salary.

Filipinos here are so friendly. Hospitality has always been in their blood. I have been in many Filipino houses and everything is pinoy like TFC. Filipinos love for basketball is also present in Australia. Filipino players here are great.

I got my Learner License and my Tax File number and my Medicare. I am living like an Australian now.

Dreams do get real here in Australia. I love it here and if I could help Filipinos to come here and live their dreams I would always recommend Australia. Things in Australia are so efficient, fair and very strict. I wish Philippines will be as livable as Melbourne but then again I think there is a balance in this world.

Welcome to Australia

I arrived in Australia not knowing what is in store for me. I researched the kind of lifestyle of the Aussies but I think experience is still the best teacher. My goal is to be rich and provide for my future family.

I was not lonely in Australia because my cousins were here to take care of me. I was fortunate to have them and I also gained friends instantly.

I was in love with Australia ever since. We had an instant connection the moment we met for the first time. We never had dull moments and we always have something to do. Boredom was not an issue with us and being laid back is a passion. Australia has been nice to me and I promise to take care of the trust it gave me for the rest of my life.

I can't wait to petition my fiancee back in the Philippines. I miss her so much but sacrifices has to be made in order for goals to be met. I am strong and I know we will see be forever again very soon.

I love you Australia, thank you for the hospitality!

Goodbye DLS Philippines

Today was my clearance day for Davis Langdon and Seah Philippines Inc (DLSPI). The last day in my office was quite sad. I will truly miss all the people who have helped me grow to be a good quantity surveyor. I found a family here in my work place, they have been my support during my stint here in DLSPI.

I already said goodbyes to my friends and colleagues. I am happy to hear that they will also miss me but I will miss them more. I will be leaving them today but their memories will stay with me forever.

Another Milestone in my life has just ended. I look forward to the new challenges Australia has to offer. I am always GAME to face life's trials and PUMPED up to face challenges. I am ready to stand up in every FAILURE and be the MAN that this world requires. I can never ACCCEPT failure because I am AFRAID to lose. AUSTRALIA get ready for me, I am coming to conquer my dreams.

Australian VISA: Granted

There was utter silence when the news arrived last Thursday. Ellen Pantaleon has called me to tell me the news that my Class BN Subclass 136 Skilled Independent Visa has been approved. I was so happy to hear it. I was speechless at first and it was a great moment. Another successful milestone in my journey called life.

The next day I gave a letter of resignation to my boss. He was shocked of course, but he wanted me to be in Davis Langdon Australia. He was a great boss and I am sure I will miss him. He was so professional and cool when problems arise. He laughs at problems and during meetings everyone listens to his advise.

I went to Church with Morning yesterday and the Homily really suits what I feel. I got what I prayed for but of course it is only the start of a new life in Australia. It will be an endless cycle of wanting to have more and being burdened with all the struggles in life. I know God will only be the one who will give me rest. I hope my life and my journey will be a fruitful one.

Aussie's Here I come

I can already feel the Australian Air. MMMM!!!!

I went to Respall today to submit my birth certificate. It is the only lacking document I need. I would like to thank Marifel of NSO's director's office for her assistance. Dreams are beginning to be real now.

I would like to share this to anyone. If you have a dream, don't waste your time Sleeping. Wake up and work your Ass for it. Failure may come but consider it as part of the challenge. We all know that the World likes winners but the losers that did not gave up are the greatest winners of all time.

Countdown to Migration

Two months from now I may not be around the Philippines. I am in the process of securing my visa to go to Australia. Thanks to my migration agent Mr. Respall.

I will be going to venture to a new world. A world where I will be the new guy. I need to fit in to a society which is very different in terms of race and culture. I have fear of not belonging but I know I won't be left out.

I will live with my cousins in West Victoria. They already have three rooms available for me. The rooms belonged to my second cousins who have grown up.

I am so excited on my migration because I have prepared for it two years now. I spent a lot to be there and waited so many months. My fiancee also is excited about going there. We will live a new life there and will try to make our new world almost perfect.

I have so many plans and so many goals when I go there.

1. Save for our nice wedding
2. Save for our new family business
3. Be financially free.
4. Take care of our obligations in the Philippines.

This plans will have a deadline of 5 years from the time I land in Aussie soil.
