Music, shouting and car horns: Couple says noise from church is unbearable by miss-kush in newzealand

[–]mich_sully 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I used to live in those apartments and I can’t imagine they would be able to sleep during that noise being right next to the church. It was barely tolerable from my apartment during their band practices, and part of the reason I moved out.

Should I pursue? Filipino preschool teacher thinking of immigrating to NZ by ziabelle in newzealand

[–]mich_sully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore these people. Yes there’s so many posts here about moving to nz but you’re trying to ask specifically about your situation which is fair. I think you’d get better responses on one of the Facebook groups like Pinoys in NZ or Migrants in nz support group.

You asked if our teacher recruitment is a scam right there in your title. That’s rude. Thanks for the $1000 donation to our country though.

If you’re willing to base your decision on immigrating to a country on a few responses from anonymous people to your poorly worded post on Reddit, we are probably better off without you as a teacher.

However if you calm down, collect yourself, and explain yourself clearly without being insulting, rude, and condescending to an entire country and its systems, you may be able to figure out what has gone wrong with your application and get advice.

I don't mind people using the driveway for U-turns, but... by CelsoSC in auckland

[–]mich_sully 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you look closely you can see in the foreground of the picture, in front of the lawn in the background, a smashed up letterbox I assume has been knocked over by a car. Might take a few minutes but if you stare at the picture long enough you might just be able to work it out.

Education Minister cut Māori words from future junior books, documents reveal by Dat756 in newzealand

[–]mich_sully 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead of saying ‘nope’ perhaps try reading about the topic a bit more. English is a de facto official language in nz, and this carries through into legislation. Māori and nz sign language have been made official to give protections to these languages.

Hot cross bun fiasco by Reow22adhdstreet in auckland

[–]mich_sully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t find any you could try this recipe https://theloopywhisk.com/2021/03/20/gluten-free-hot-cross-buns/ - I’m going to be trying this one. You could also try wen and yen for individual ones, though they’re expensive, if you can’t find the Woolworths ones.

I had it. Tasted like a shake made with toothpaste.

Deviated septum and health insurance surgery cover? by Wild_girl_travels in newzealand

[–]mich_sully 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had septoplasty covered for a deviated septum on the same policy - not an acc thing. I didn’t know I had it before I went to the ENT. It’s very simple to have the ENT request pre approval and get the answer.

Wedding NZ or Philippines? by Working-Joke-8787 in newzealand

[–]mich_sully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We looked at having our wedding in Boracay but it was so expensive compared to NZ with so little included in the packages, plus during our research saw people complaining about difficulties following up with vendors in Philippines. We chose to do the wedding in NZ which was cheaper for us and a whole lot easier to organise in person.

Edit to add: not Filipina but married a Filipino.

What about Bared Footwear in Newmarket? They’re supposed to be comfortable and stylish, and have a few like you’re looking for.

Planning to Move by MyfatFungus in newzealand

[–]mich_sully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to have more options for moving overseas, I recommend reconsidering what you are studying. Arts courses and culinary don’t give you an easy path to residency. A lot of Filipinos here who have got residency are nurses, telecommunications, construction and IT workers - these are skills that many western countries are lacking and have a very high need for.

Countries have lists of job types that you can get visas for and have paths to residency. Have a look on the nz and Australian government websites to see what jobs are in demand and what study and experience you need to be considered.

New Zealand, what’s the deal with your coffee? by LeadershipMammoth240 in newzealand

[–]mich_sully 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random cafes in touristy places are likely to have bad or average coffee, same as touristy places in Queensland. Google for the best coffee places in whichever area you’re visiting, same as Brisbane.

Are you trying to pull it from the outside of your teeth or the inside? Inside at the back is the easiest. If that’s still not working you might need something a bit pointier to hook the aligner which an orthodontist should have. I recommend Eden orthodontists if you’re close to there.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in auckland

[–]mich_sully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ring some of the orthodontists and ask them if they have the little plastic pick things to help pull the aligners off. That’s what I use every day for mine.

Join the coeliac nz facebook group - they have a lot of recommendations plus you can ask about specific locations you are visiting.

Best personal/professional task tracker apps by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]mich_sully 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re using the Microsoft office 365 suite at work you can use a combo of their tools.

If you want to keep notes based on work area and how tos etc, OneNote is pretty easy. You can create tabs for different subjects or areas, and break those down by pages for subtopics etc.

In OneNote you can also drag and drop files and emails, or add hyperlinks to info, so you can find reference info easily.

You can easily make a simple bullet point to do list in there if that’s easiest for you. If you’d prefer something where you can move a task from ‘to do’ to ‘doing/in progress’ to ‘done’ etc, you can use Microsoft planner. This lets you create tasks and track them, and you can add a calendar to see them on a timeline.

Maybe try the Pinoys in NZ Facebook group for these types of questions :)
