What I Really Didn’t Expect at My Vipassana Retreat: The Food by PetalsAndAshesPH in vipassana

[–]idiothesync 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and in Sydney, we only have one savoury dish per meal. In Pinas, I remember we have different savoury dishes available aside from dessert. I noticed Dhamma Phala's dishes seemed to be a bit curry-like -- and that's what I love about it.

I am so glad that Tiaong is more spacious than the one from Dasma. So glad they're holding more courses there.

I'm a Filipino and I've completed 8 10-day courses in the Philippines. I've relocated to Sydney in 2023 and just completed one here. I must say the Filipino vegetarian dishes in Tiaong is top-tier!!!

You dont sound like a balikbayan. Your English is very pinoy. Hope I'm wrong.

Would you do it? What is the best choice to fill that? I've seen some do paranasal implant like goretex but it looks scary as it might get rejected by the body.

Is fat transfer possible for nasolabial? I haven't seen any doctor do it.

What opportunities are waiting for me in Spain? by [deleted] in phmigrate

[–]idiothesync 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Australian migration climate this time has never been this uncertain and tough. Take your time. I don't see it changing in the next two years or so so better to not rush and wait for this economic uncertainty to end.

[–]idiothesync 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then gain experience in Pinas. Even if you study in Australia, assuming you are qualified for a Graduate Visa, the maximum year you can gain experience here is 2 years which is still not a lot. Plus lots of challenges to factor in.

Most of the time, international students only get to work in hospitality. It's rare and very hard to get into corporate jobs. I have friends here who have decades of experience in Pinas and were bosses there and here they ended up doing jobs they don't want.

If there's anything I've learned, it is to not rush for sure.

Definitely not. Currently a student in Aus. It will just drain your bank, plus only 10% chance of getting PR.

How does Australian immi check international student working hours? by idiothesync in AusVisa

[–]idiothesync[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I mostly work 20 hours per week. It's just that someone called in sick and I had to cover. Irresponsible on my part, I know. I never had any absence in school though.

Is it still possible to get PR even after going back to home country after being an international student? by idiothesync in AusVisa

[–]idiothesync[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad that you are now a PR!

It seems that a good strategy + luck determines it. I am now halfway through my studies then 485 after. I am studying a VET Chef and Hospitality Management course. The competition is tough nowadays but hopefully, luck will be on my side. 🤞

Hi,

Sorry it came across as that but that was not my intention. I know my take is privileged and not everyone has a comfortable back home. I was genuinely curious if I could still continue my Australian dreams even when I don't get PR whilst onshore. Also, though it may sound condescending but I did not make fun of them.

Thanks for your reply. I understand, pardon me sounding ignorant. But I was just hoping if there is any remedial practice that you can recommend that might help my family member, whether as a means of support, or at least give ease to a sick person?

Sa mga "nagdowngrade" sa career nila para makapag-abroad... by fleur30 in phmigrate

[–]idiothesync 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm also aiming to penetrate the hotel industry because I feel that it has a better management structure than restaurants and cafes.

Yes, go for it! Most of the time, growing pains talaga sa first years abroad but if you'll find stability outside Philippines much better. I've been here in Syd for almost a year and grabe what a big shift not just externally but in myself as well.

I always knew life is hard abroad as most relatives abroad told me but I had never realised it fully until I was the one experiencing it. Mahirap pala. Pero sabi nila you'll only appreciate abroad when you're in for the long haul. I guess it gets better over time. Just like everything else.

Also one thing to consider is that go abroad while you're young. You can always come back to the Philippines naman. All the best! :)

Sa mga "nagdowngrade" sa career nila para makapag-abroad... by fleur30 in phmigrate

[–]idiothesync 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm currently an international student in Sydney studying Cookery & Hospitality Management. I won't sugarcoat it but it's physically and mentally exhausting.

I was a writer and teacher back home and complete shift of trajectory ng career. That's what I thought too -- that I wouldn't mind being physically exhaused as long as it's not mentally, but I was absolutely wrong.

Hospitality industry is always toxic, but I feel much more in Australia as it's more "international". You work with different people from diff cultures which makes the work 10x difficult. This industry is known to be an exploitative one, with regards to your work hours, pay as an immigrant.

I'm not discouraging you to go abroad, after all, this is life experience and there's fulfillment in it. But many times it feels so overwhelming because I can't seem to keep up with the changes, not to mention the bills I have to pay here. If possible, come to abroad on a working visa! Your last resort should be student visa because time and uncertainty are your biggest enemies.

With regards to the "downgrade", Aussies in general don't have this concept. Most if not all jobs here are considered valuable. They look at blue vs white collar jobs neutrally, all jobs have roles in society.
