San kayo bumibili ng thermal wear sa Pinas? Kasi kung more than 500 pesos.. dito nalang kayo bumili. or bili lang kayo ng one pair (long sleeves and tights). Sa walmart maganda mamili ng thermal wear. Nung umalis ang hubby ko sa M&S ko pa binili kasi wala akong alam na bilihan nun. Pagdating naman pala dito eh madami palang ukay2 na maganda.

I suggest just buy winter clothes that are good for your biyahe. The rest dito na kayo bumili. Kasi umaabot ng -30 to -50 dito. Tingin ko kasi mas alam ng brands dito kung ano ang dapat sa mga taong taga dito. may sense ba? hehe. Mas mahal pa nga minsan sa ukay2 dyan kesa dito.

Lalo na sa boots. Just buy one pang alis nyo (pasyal) pagdating pero after that.. magshop nalang kayo sa Value Village/Goodwill/Thrift store which is their ukay2 dito. Kung ok lang sa inyo mag ukay ha. Kasi maayos ang ukay dito. Dun na ako bumili ng lahat ng pang winter ko. Kasi sobrang siksik na bagahe ko and wala na kakasya na makapal pa na damit. Sabagay summer palang bumili na ako ng jackets. Hindi naman nauubusan dito. hahaha.

Pero yung brand new since mahirap talaga makapili ng sapatos na tama sa inyo.. yun ang bilhin nyo na brand new. Winter boots and porma boots. haha. :p
nice tips! ;)

:( :( :( mga sis patulong nman ..may dumating sa akin na addional req... familiar ba kayo sis kung ano to...

a copy of the canadian revenue agency notice of tax assesment for yourself..copy of spouse"s 2010 notice of assestment ..

for yourself. copy of pay stubs for your spouse from sept and oct 2011..

for yourself.any related financial documents proving your spouse can support you in canada.

mga sis may hinanap ba cla na ganito sa inyo??/ ;) ;) ;) ..
Sis, nagpasa ka ba ng bank cert? or remittances? Kung wala namang time binigyan ka nila ng instructions how to contact them diba kapag hindi kaya nung deadline? Gawin mo agad sis kasi sayang naman application mo. Sakin din hiningan pa ako additional documents like kumpletong remittances mula nung dumating hubby ko ng canada. Pero dun sa unang pasa ko palang nandun na yung tax records nya and bank cert and other remittance receipts.

God bless. Wag kang matakot. Magpray ka lang. Tsaka wag ka magmadali. Ang una mong gawin is adjust the deadline kung hindi mo kaya. 4 days lang ang fedex kung mapapdala ng asawa mo agad yung orig documents.

any advice sis/bros...

meron kasi dun sa MR na bring any previous medical reports from any hospital.. i have recently gone urine test and chest xray last Nov 10.. nagdala pa ba kayo ng mga med results/reports? kinukuha ba nila yun or hindi naman?? anyone..? thanks in advance...
Meron akong medical reports na dinala pero hindi ko na nilabas kasi alam ko naman healthy ako. hehehe. Kung ako sayo wag mo na dalhin kasi wala ka namang medical conditions diba? Generally healthy ka naman. Sa Nationwide ako. Hindi na nila ako tinanong kung may dala ako.

salamat mga sis!!!!sis sbi nla original doc. daw...nasa canada hubby ko ipapadala pa nya sa akin doc.?pwd b sisi na scan nlng o eh fax nya sa akin?
Nanigurado kasi ako nun so pinasa ko orig talaga. pero kung ok sa iba yung scan.. nasa iyo yun, sis. Tingin ko mas ok ang scanned and printed sa laserjet kesa fax lang. Mas believable yung scanned copy. Yung WP ng hubby ko scanned and notarized lang yung pinadala nya sakin eh.

sis, after ba ng MR & AoR na natanggap ng husband mo yung questionnaire?
yun kasi pinagtataka ko bat walang questionnaire na kasama dun sa nareceive ko. hiwalay ba talagang ipapadala yun?

hello forum! just want to share my experiences kanina sa medical exam ko in st.lukes..

haay sana nga nakinig na lang ako snyo guys na sa nationwide pumunta..(hindi ko lang talaga alam yung place nun eh)... nakakainis naging outcome ng medical ko knna... and sobrang ibang iba dun sa experience ko last 2009...

i arrived @ 9:40am, and got my queue number.. my number was called after 45mins (though compared nung 2009, maskonti tao kanina..), then kinuha muna info ko, pics, etc... then after 5-10mins, vital signs na ako (BP) 110/80 ---normal ba un???im 25y/o.. wait for another 5-10mins, eye test, weight nd height naman.. wait again, then cashier daw ako (P4,200 binayaran ko),. after that, chest xray na, then blood test and urinalysis, it was already 1:30pm (and i haven't eaten yet my breakfast..im starving!), so sabi nung receptionist kain daw muna ko kasi wala pa yung doctor for my physical exam,. so pgbalik ko past 2pm, i waited for 20-30mins again, then nung ako na,.. i vaguely remember, parang sya ung dating physician na nagcheck skn, im not so sure...
and this is the worst part, kelangan ko daw bumalik tomorrow for a check up to an OB Gyne.., and they let me pay for another P724 for the hepa screening...kasi i have 7 ear piercings eh (but 5 has no earrings since college).. then sabi nila ung mga hindi nagawa nung 2009, kelangan gawin ngaun... haaay, whattaday! anyway, bukas ko din daw malalaman ung result ng xray ko, and maybe yung ibang exams na din... i just hope maipasa na din next week sa CEM ung result ko, and all is well pa din... good thing i had my medical exam right after i got my MR, if not, baka naloka na ko sa inis sa kanila....

sorry if sobrang haba... :)
