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!
