Salamat isyisy og daghan. Usa ka hirit pa. Asa ka ning CIIP og PDOS? Naa ba na sa Cebu? God Bless.

isyisy said:
CIIP = very educational and free food, so I suggest attend ka ani.

PDOS = is a must. di ka ka larga without this. Like I suggest, sila siguro best maka answer sa imong OFW questions.

COA = im not sure.
duna pa jud to seminar sa IOM makati, but Im sure that's not important.

when we had our CIIP seminar, gi schedule to sya for 2 days, but ting and ryan cut it down to 1 day, so since ga file naman mi ug absense so the following day ning adto dayon mi sa PDOS, super dali and no need to schedule kay gamay ra ug taw. daghan gani mi classmate sa CIIP ning adto pud sa PDOS the following day.

aspire:

for CIIP: akong gi PM sa imo ilang contact e-mail addresses. you can email them directly, just introduce yourself a bit and tell them asa naka sa imong visa processing and unsa imong profession. then ask them ila next schedule sa Cebu (if you wanna take it sa Cebu), otherwise sa Manila. What I know is that sa Manila is almost in a weekly basis sila, while sa Cebu every month? or every other month? then sila ra mu hatag sa venue (usually hotel conference rooms) kay wala man sila office sa Cebu.

sa PDOS:
just give Cebu office a call a few days before ka mu adto and then follow the stuff nga naa sa ilang website.

isysy,

hello....pwede mamalihug? paki check ani nga place if u hav time...Tiffany apartments 10721-117 Street, NW.. duol ra ni sa imo place? ako glantaw sa google map ug i found it nice...but gusto nko ma sure kung ok ang building and neighborhood, basin not good for kids... naay g recommend ako fren pero ganahan ko na makakuha ug additional idea ani nga apartment coz mas cheaper man gud ni accdg to the ad nga ako nakita...please?

thanks a lot...
nope. the place is super not nice. its creepy kay its facing the cemetery. even the next block daghan mga vacant na condos and apartments probably because of that. sa-una when we were apartment hunting, i'd jokingly asked my wife if mu puyo ba sya diha miski tag 100 pa ang rent, dili sya mu puyo miski bayran pa sya. although the cemetery is clean, but the aura is not so good. duna sya daghan dead trees and crows.

apart from that reason, that's a really good place to be in.

its still relatively close to downtown. mga 5 minutes bus ride and walking distance ra sa Oliver square (duna groceries, drug stores, school supplies store and banks)

for those of you nga gusto mag virtual "laag laag" in Canada, here's a good trip!

WARNING: this may be addicting, anyways hapit naman bakasyon diha sa pinas, so kalingawi lang ni.

1. go to maps.google.ca
2. in the search box, input the complete address including city and province. The best way is to put in the postal code. As an example of an address, try to input "Edmonton City Hall"
3. then you will be presented with at least one ballon. ballon nga duna letter "A"
4. there's this yellow man (taw-taw nga naa sa taas sa "+" ug "-" sign that is use to zoom in or zoom out)
5. drag the yellow man near ballon A. You can place the yellow man sa streets ra, so just drag it as near as possible, duna pud na green nga arrow kung asa mag face ang taw-taw.
6. kung hinay ang internet connection, you have to wait for a few seconds. ayaw lihoka ang computer para dili ma hang hang.

then bam! you should have a pretty good view of the street :D

then sulayi ug drag drag ang image so you can look around, plus, you also can click on the street (basta duna nay gray nga oblong nga naka butang sa street) then click once para mu forward. Then forward pa jud.

Believe it or not, this is what i use to look for apartments and jobs, para before going to the actual place at least familiar nako ang lugar. para dili masaag. you can even see the facade sa apartment gani, if it is along the road ;D

- if inig drag ninyo sa yellow nga taw-taw unya walay ka butangan, meaning walay picture ang google ana. I'd say the area may be remote nga wala suroya ni google.
- images maybe more than 5 years old. so sometimes wala diha imong gi pangita especially kung bag-o pa ang place. but 99% of the time, apartments and buildings are more than 5 years older naman pud.
- you can see bus stops as well and it will give you a good idea sa bus number nga mu agi diha. if you're looking for an apartment nga duol ra sa bus stop, then try to look around and mas maayo kung at least duna tulo ka bus routes nga naka butang sa bus stop sign.

to maharlika: give it a try sa imong address nga gi hatag and turn around, you can see tombstones.

yep, what I know is that mga tag 600+ kay at least one hour from the downtown core, but around 750 ang kasagaran nga duol-duol (like 15 minutes bus ride). that should either be a large basement apartment or small one bedroom highrise apartment. I think 800 is a good budget.
