@lola: natural ra jud nang ma kuyawan nga murag kasuka-on hehehe... its a life changing event baya. but once you've passed the customs, then go to your corner and celebrate with your family. its one of the nicest feeling. kami... ning gawas jud mi sa airport kadiyot to smell the breeze of Canadian air, of course bugnaw sya.

and after that, think of it as starting all over again, more like ning balhin ka ug puy-anan...

kung un easy ka, then mag mata ra ka sa flight :eek: but it has an advantage kay dili kaayo ka mag jet lag.. in 2 days, recover naka. my wife took 1 week.

Anyways. enjoy your landing, and don't please share it to us. :)

by the way, kung maka abot pa ka sa Unionbank EON, ang PIN nga pili-on nimo kay kanang dili secret PIN nimo... kay imo manang ibilin sa imong mama, mas maayo nang shared nga PIN ninyong duha..

2. pag pa hair cut daan. its $20 nga dinali-an nga tupi, plus you have to tip pa... sa mga babae of course, don't forget to cut it to your hearts desire, then rebond kung kailangan. take note, you'll be fronting interviews...

duna man pud nah "relax" diba? mahal man gud na diri... and besides, barato mana diha, daghan man mga koreano nga hair stylist...

the air here is dry... better tell your hair stylist nga mu ari kag Canada. mga koreano sa Park Mall and sa Fuente pud kay maay'ng laki kaayo.

ako nag pa tupi and nag pa cleaning ug kuko sa parlor, nag pa SPA... then nag pa cleaning ug ngipon sa dentist


take note ang HEALTH CARD diri sa Canada kay free admittance sa emergency room, free ward room, free doctor and free medicine while naa sulod sa hospital. There is no dental coverage, mao nang kailangan pud nah sa employers benefit para maapil ang outside meds, dentist, dental surgery, nursing care, etc... some are at least 80% covered.

lola,

hehehehe...excited ko apil nimo oi! kanang goods to follow list, mao na cya ang listahan sa imo goods nga ipaapas nimo dha sa canada, gtuyo man gud na aron any goods nga nabilin pa sa pinas nga imo ipaapas dha sa canada wala na tax..

kung wala na, ayaw na paghimo ana...which is better aron dili na kuti sa immig officer.

re: ur funds, ok na kaau oi..pero try to check daw balik cic sa range sa show money ky nag increase kuno, wala pa noon ko naka check..

hello mga bisdak!

PIT SENYOR! VIVA STO. NINYO!!! (di man mudawat ug alt 165 akua laptop oy, ambotug ngano)

musta na ang payag? dugay ko wla ka bisita kay hastang kabisi himu ug year end reports! ginatapos nako ang tanan year-end reps kay kaulaw ug mu resign ko puhon nga naay backlog ;D ;D ;D

ngutana unta ko ninyo bahin anang GOODS TO FOLLOW. praktikal ba na sya? dili kaha mas mahal pa ang bayad sa shipping ana kaysa iyang actual cost? :-[ kay mangukay unta ko ug daghan diri (bedsheet, comforter, kurtina, etc) ug ipa GTF na lng ;D ;D ;D kung sabagay, ug mas mahal man shipping cost pero mas mahal pa gyud diha sa canada ug diha paliton, murag payts na lng cguro nga ipa ship no ??? ??? ???

sa man inyo ikasugyot ani?????

Duna ko nahibaw-an (but untested) nga shipping tag 2,000 plus (for 2.5 kilos) daw diha sa cebu nga mu take ug 1 week to come here, duna pud barko nga shipping mu gasto ug around 30,000 but maka sulod ug 16 kabook balikbayan boxes, no weight limit... But agen as I've said, ako duna ko goods to follow nga gi andam pag lupad namo kay duna pa mi butang nga nabilin (naa sa akong mama) but because ning sutoy mi sa customs after the visa officer mao nga wala nako nahatag ang list. Anyways we are planning to go for vacation nig next year sinulog kay mu apil mi sa akong misses ug dagan sa cebu city marathon. :) inig bakasyon namo, plano namo is just to bring necessities (no clothes) and to buy stuff sa pinas and bring the things nga nabilin.

For those nga nag duha duha kung mangukay diha, I suggest ayaw nalang kay mas lig-on and mas maayo ang mga goods diri sa canada. Mas barato pa jud, kung second hand jud gani inyo pangita duna pud diri second hand stores - like Goodwill -

My suggestion is this: pag fill-up nalang sa GOODS TO FOLLOW - its a list nga na ninyo karon nga duha-duha pa mo kung dal-on AND you can even make it as your wishlist! (miski dili pa ninyo paliton karon!), then once mu land mu, then ipatatak ra... I think you'll be given a year to ship it here, then by the time nga duna na sweldo sweldo then ask your mga higala sa pinas to buy the stuff and ship it (just make sure to remove the packing and the tags sa new stuff). Kung di ninyo ma pa ship, oks ra man siguro, kung dili ma ship ang ubang items nga naa sa list, then oks ra man siguro. Basically its a list nga maka tax-free.

Goodwill - (google it) is a store nga second hand nga donation centre. Basically if Canadians throw their used stuff (like TV, furnitures, large stuff), they usually pay for the city to pick it up to dispose it for them, but most rich canadians kay mu donate sa Goodwill, which sells the stuff really cheap and the proceeds go to the foundation and the needy.

Example are clothes, winter clothes!, house furnishings like lamps, table, sheets, comforters. Others like toys, books, plates, paintings and many other stuff. I've been there several times and bought books. Duna pud mga clothes nga branded nga bag-o pa (murag one time used ra) and winter stuff nga proven effective jud.

But most of the second hand comes from new friends, my officemates offered me their dining table and other stuff. Mga pinoy pud diri kay mang hatag pud. Like if they want to buy a new TV, they ask other pinoys to pick it up their old one.

So guys, don't worry about ukay-ukay, I really think its not worth-it to bring. Goodwill is even cheaper and there are a lot of pinoys working there. so check their website and see if your're going to land where there is Goodwill. If there's none, ask for your friends/family ahead to look for a donation centre.
