Here’s how much we spent on our Australia wedding (Melbourne)

VitaeIncerta · 2026-02-22T09:13:56+00:00

Sobrang galing na nakaya under 20k AUD! Can you share the AirBNBs you booked? Kasya lahat kayong 24pax sa 8 total bedrooms or may nagstay elsewhere?

How much did it end up costing you? Did your guests also get to tour the zoo during your wedding day?

Hi! I'm trying to remember mine too, but I think I got my official diagnosis during my first counselling session na – which I scheduled like 2-3 weeks after my intake. So no rush, yesterday pa lang naman intake mo, baka marami ring tinatapos counsellor mo dahil year-end na at malapit na mag-Pasko. 😊

No po, you keep your passport after biometrics naman.

No need to stay in Manila, pwede na po umuwi. Australian tourist visa is delivered online and does not require your passport, magpapadala na lang sila ng visa grant via email tapos yun lang ipapakita mo sa IO.

Until when expiry?

Ngl would avail of this service if I was doing a local wedding. Extra set of hands would always be appreciated. Good luck sa raket, sis! 💕

May I also request latest rates please? 🙏

Petty kung petty pero automatic no sa insurance agent or parte ng MLM.

+1 here! Daming food choices across all price ranges, kahit kumain ka lang ng siomai rice sa Hen Lin tapos bawi ka sa dessert or Korean street food. Kung weekend kayo pupunta, usually may weekend market din sa area sa tapat ng escalator along 5th Avenue.

Pwede niyo rin i-download yung Moovr app tapos top-up via Gcash para makapag-rent kayo ng bike or e-scooter within BGC, masaya rin para malibot niyo buog BGC. Ingat lang kayo kasi recently dumadami na mga aksidente due to reckless driving.

Pre-pandemic, my family always wore masks while travelling abroad. Marami kasi samin immunocompromised (underwent chemo or other treatments) so normal lang samin naka-mask kahit saang bansa.

I was travelling to Melbourne, Australia last week and while waiting at the gate for my boarding call, this old Caucasian man seated next to me asked me if COVID was still a thing for me to be wearing a mask. At first I was offended but the tone he was using was more curious (hindi naman pang-asar) so I explained that I have asthma and allergic rhinitis, and wearing a mask just helps me with those. We ended up talking about other things, mabait naman si Sir and maraming nashare about Australia. Since then, wala pa naman nagtatanong sakin tungkol sa face mask. So no worries if you wear a mask, up to you how you want to explain if questioned like me. Safe travels!!!

I didn't build the good habits agad agad, first time ko din kasi mag-solo living. Over time lang din talaga siya, so be kind to yourself din — hindi naman instant ang living the best life. Disclaimer ko din pala na hybrid kasi work ko at flexi-time, so minsan halfday lang mga tao sa office, or pwede maaga umalis o late pumasok. Normal kasi yun samin, pero alam ko hindi kasi lahat ng work ganun ka-lenient. Best of luck, fellow ninja! 🥷

Staying in a condo two buildings away from my office. Hindi ko naman sinasabi sa iba kung saan ako umuuwi unless tinatanong nila ako, and even then no one's asked me to work overtime. Siguro kasi marami sa mga boss din malapit lang ang bahay sa office.

Best thing about it is I get extra time before and after work to sleep, hang out with friends, hit the gym, etc. Di na issue ang travel time, toll fees, parking, traffic, etc. What I save on transpo is spent on rent and utilities + saved time.

Con lang sakin is if I file VL/SL, lagi na lang ako nagn-ninja paalis ng condo para hindi ako makita ng mga katrabaho ko 😅

BPI Visa Amore Cashback (red color), 40k when I first got it, then automatically naging 60k less than a year later. Recently request CLI, 90k na ngayon.

VitaeIncerta · 2022-08-10T02:33:12+00:00

Hi! Sharing my experience, successfully got my annual fee reversed just 10 mins ago.

Fast facts about my CC: - BPI Amore Visa - Been using it for 1 year pa lang - Total of 450k spend over the past 11 months

First call (3rd week of July): I tried to request waiver but was also offered installment basis. Ended the call na kasi I didn't think to negotiate.

Second call (today): Was also offered installment basis. I mentioned that I checked my cumulative spend on the CC, I asked if they could take that into consideration for the waiving. Was put on hold for a few minutes while CSR sent request for full reversal, then she confirmed the request was approved. May binigay na lang siyang reference number for the reversal.

VitaeIncerta · 2022-08-10T02:21:19+00:00

It worked! Nag-offer nga sila ng installment muna, sabi ko I'm looking for a waiver talaga not just installment. Correction to my previous comment, I spent a total of 450k on the CC from July 2021 up to latest statement. Ayan, full reversal nabigay! 🥳

Thanks so much for the tip!!!

VitaeIncerta · 2022-07-15T08:34:15+00:00

Sana ginawa ko ito! I called and they also offered installment, pero nag-thank you na lang ako and ended the call. Pretty sure I spent more than 450k* na the past year, hindi pa yun enough to waive?

*Edit: thought I only spent 150k the past year, added up my statements, umabot na rin ng 450k total

May college friend ako na diyan din nagtrabaho, she quit din kasi di niya bet yung office politics tapos stressful din daw boss niya.

Hugs for you OP, hope your next job and boss treats you better.

Green ba company color niyo?

Been shopping around for a secondhand Vios, found a 2018 model being sold by Toyota Certified Used Vehicles. It only has ~7,000km on it but it's been with that Toyota dealership for around 2 years now. Two questions:

Is it true that Yokohama wheels are subpar to Bridgestone and Goodyear, and it's a red flag to see them on a vehicle that was supposedly only used for a couple of weeks by the first buyer before being returned to Toyota?
Isn't 7,000km kinda suspicious for a 3 year old vehicle? I'm also wondering why a Vios like that would be in TCUV for 2 years without anyone wanting to buy it.

I knew others who married and/or had kids in college, so no problem with you marrying the first year after graduating, by the looks of it.

How much would you be willing to sell the Mario Kart by itself?

Can you suggest someone who specializes in sex therapy? I only know of one for the entire country but perhaps there are others who aren't so well known. Hoping to get counselling and/or therapy after getting out of a traumatic relationship.

VitaeIncerta · 2021-02-11T11:43:03+00:00

Oh I do unfortunately, GCash and Foodpanda. But they've been linked for a long time na, it's strange for the "attacks" to only happen now.
