hallo hallo! long time nga, na-miss ko kayo
kakabalik ko ng SG from OZ, and natapos ko na lahat admin stuff (like opening of bank account, enrollment in medicare, filing of tax number, etc). within one day lang. in short, officially OZ PR na ako na considered naka-bakasyon lang and pwede ko na magamit ung government benefits including healthcare while overseas.
and for future OZ considerations (may mga nagp-PM kasi sa akin), na-feel ko sa melbourne (first time to fully immerse, kasi sa sydney ako usually the past years) ung feeling ko sa canada. na parang chillax and steady lang mga tao, and wala akong na experience kahit hint ng discrimination. in fact, sobrang friendly sila pag nasa coffee shops, sa trams, etc. including government offices, sobrang welcoming sa mga new PRs like me.
and to add insult to the injury, lumabas na second GCMS notes ko na ni-request ko one day after hitting my 5th month. and no surprises, walang nabago (as in zero) since my 1st GCMS notes. dec 2015 parin last activity, with due date jan 2016. all assessments not started.
at the risk of sounding bitter (but not entirely hopeless) good job SGVO, nawawalan na ako ng gana sayo. mas na-cement na ung bias ko in favor of OZ kasi mas healthy and mas malaki sweldo ng IT market nung bumisita ako since last week. pag wala parin akong PPR on my 6th month on may 17 (around two weeks from now), kino-consider ko nang i-withdraw canada application ko... joke lang
rather, di na ako maglo-login sa myCIC account and will treat ung application ko as non-existent. and that magfo-focus na ako for big move sa OZ in the next few months (basta within this year). bonus nalang pag nakatanggap na ako ng PPR email, pero hindi ko na siya iko-consider as urgent and priority and hindi ko na ika-cancel travel plans ko, kasi right now, naka-revolve buhay ko sa paghihintay niyang PPR na yan LOL
