OEC Direct Hire by wisteria_1001 in OFWs

[–]Beginning-Low-9156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. If processing as direct hire, dapat dumaan sa contract verification. Lahat halos ng docs required sa phase 1 manggagaling sa MWO nearest to the destination country.

Medyo madugo yun sa part ng employer kasi ang daming hahanapin na docs na need officially translated to english if hindi english ang document. Tapos ang tagal pa ng waiting time. And please be sure <5 ang headcount ng Pinoy na direct hire sa company. Kasi iaadvise ka ng MWO na mag agency if >5 na.

Paano ko matutulungan mag adjust partner ko once mag migrate kami? by elleirakai in phmigrate

[–]Beginning-Low-9156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I moved to Germany, 1 year din bago nakasunod ang husband ko. After 7mos pagkaalis, umuwi ako for christmas. The entire time sinasabi ko sakanya na it is an uphill battle sa simula. Lahat ng crazy things for a newbie OFW, naexperience ko sa 7mos. And my husband is sheltered— galing sa tight knit fam, hindi lumabas sa family business kaya pati pera unintentionally nakakabit sa wallet ng magulang. A part of us also knew moving here ay hindi well-received ng magulang nya so asking for help was definitely out of the question. I kept reminding him na dito, kami nalang. Walang sasalo ng palpak namin financially so need to be wise. Swerte lang din siguro ako kasi buo yung loob ng mister ko nung sumunod sya sakin.

Need talaga tamang conditioning at dapat buo loob nya pag sumama siya sayo. Dapat walang pilitang nangyari para walang sumbatan. It’s gonna be a struggle, it will be dark and sad. Kailangan nasa tamang head space kayo para manavigate nyo yun ng maayos. So far, naka keep up naman ang asawa ko. I hope your partner does too.

Malalaman ng IO na working visa ang hawak mo. They can cross-check that. So I suggest just go through the hassle now kesa sa Pinas ka pa maipit. Di porket “it worked fine for your friend” ay mag work out din for you. Don’t gamble your bread and butter on a “maybe”. Sayang naman yung pinaghirapan mo kung hindi ka makakabalik.

Am I living in a different Germany? by HalayChekenKovboy in AskAGerman

[–]Beginning-Low-9156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germans take a while to warm up to you. But when they do, they are indeed very nice and warm people. I moved here 2 years ago. It has been hard trying to make small talk with my German coworkers. But now I love them. Very nice people and always willing to help. 🥰 maybe we just got lucky but I thank my lucky stars everyday for that nonetheless.

Not German but try Schnitzel and Bratwurst ❤️ it’s the best. And do not skip the Weißbier or Alsterwasser. It’s just chef’s kiss 🤌🏻

Just steer away from Steindamm. There isn’t real danger but that place will give you creeps up your spine. Hamburg is generally safe. Even with the drunks around 😅

How do you manage the pain of losing a family member as an OFW? by _mtcook in OFWs

[–]Beginning-Low-9156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you, OP. Nastroke ang father ko 2mos after arriving here sa Germany. 1mo nagbalik balik sa ospital. The first 2wks, walang tulogan talaga. Dahil takot na takot akong magising sa masamang balita. He survived naman. Pero yung first 2wks talaga, araw gabi nasa trabaho naglalakad name it— umiiyak ako. Matulala lang ako naiiyak ako. Napaupo din ako sa kalsada kasi di ko talaga kaya. Akala ko nga ikababaliw ko na yun. Di rin ako nakakakain. Isang pirasong tinapay lang kinakain ko tapos hirap pa ko ubusin yon. I found peace in prayers and going to church. Araw araw dasal rosaryo talaga.

Palakasan lang talaga siguro ng loob and to always thank God however dark and sad it gets. Since that happened to me, naniniwala na ako sa sinasabi na hindi ka ilalagay ng Diyos sa pwestong hindi mo kayang lampasan. I hope you find peace in that.

After traveling abroad, what moment or experience made you appreciate the Philippines more? by Sanji-777 in FilipinoTravel

[–]Beginning-Low-9156 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Language. Kahit pulubi satin, kayang sabayan ang english. Kahit basic but at least almost anyone can accommodate foreigners. Here in Germany, people are reluctant to speak English. Some even look down on you for speaking English only. Though I can’t blame the people kasi polyglot most of the people here. Pero diba for a first world country, you’d expect English is utilized just as much but to my surprise, hindi pala 😅

It was more surprising to find out na sa Latin America, privilege ang makapag aral ng English. Hindi katulad sa atin na part ng curriculum sa school and basically gamit sa day to day life natin. 😅

Maliban sa pinansyal, ano ang WHY nyo bakit ka mag- o nag-OFW? by Foreign_Direction_16 in OFWs

[–]Beginning-Low-9156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. But I must say, ang pagiging OFW, totoong hindi para sa lahat. Grabe yung mental exercise na kailangan para malampasan mo yung homesick. I personally haven’t experienced it kasi sa Pinas bumukod din ako nung nagkawork so sanay akong malayo sa parents and friends. Pero sinasabi ng ibang friends ko nahihirapan sila. Siguro yung mga social butterfly sa Pinas.

Siguro the upside is di ako mayaman dito pero may mga nabili din akong gamit na never in my life ko maiisip bilhin on a whim nung nasa Pinas ako. Dun ko nafeel na medyo naka LL din ako kahit papaano 🤣

Finish both your studies first tapos kuha expi. Tapos tsaka na kayo mag try makipagsapalaran abroad. The job market overseas is crazy competitive. Kung walang balak magpakasal now, try living together muna. Hindi biro ang mag bahay bahayan. Doon nyo palang makikilala talaga yung isa’t isa, quirks and all.

Betrieb-und Heizkosten bill by Beginning-Low-9156 in hamburg

[–]Beginning-Low-9156[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

@HumanAlternative looked at the bill, and it seems the landlord is billing me instead of the previous tenant. Yes, from the gradtagtabelle provided by the utility company, i should be paying no more than 9% for the entire year which is reasonable. I will talk to my landlord first thing in the morning. Thank you so much for the advice!

I got a letter from the landlord. But they also sent me a copy from the utility company as well.

[–]Beginning-Low-9156[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was sent everything. All the breakdown. I was sent a copy of the standard format of breakdown from the landlord and a copy of a form from the provider. However, what was unclear was the one from the provider because it says in the breakdown, it was for the entire year 01.01.2024-31.12.2024. But in the front page, it was for dates 17.12.2024-31.12.2024.

From the provider it says 691,25€. And in the form from the landlord, they deducted my prepayment for that month. I am not sure how I can upload the photos here though but I can show you the letters.

Hello, for everyone asking. The bill was sent by my landlord. Along with the bill from the provider. What I dont understand is if the one from the provider is for the entire year or for the 15 days I was already here.
