When u said, "kung naghahanap ka ng sign into na Yun" , I found myself teary-eyed 😢. Thanks po, I need to hear all of this. Perhaps it is God's answer to all of my doubts. ❤

[@lifebyaprilb]

I’m so happy that I got to watch your vlog! Kaka-visit ko lang sa Australia and daaaammmn I wanna live there na!! Ibang-iba talaga ang environment jan, mafi-feel mo ang work-life balance. By God’s grace, I hope to be there soon ❤

[@paoloviray2799]

Thank you for this ❤ very informative

[@pachochay1]

Nakaka-relate din ako sa story mo. Bago ako nagmigrate dito sa Sydney from Pinas, sinabi ko talaga sa sarili ko na I’m willing to start from scratch. Very helpful din ung ganung thinking.

[@joseamiel]

Thank you for this video, crying so much right now. Ever since I was young, everyone wanted me to go to Sydney for good since my dad used to live there and a lot of relatves are also there, pero sobrang idealistic ko na magiging okay ako sa Pilipinas. Kakauwi ko lang kagabi and ang sinadya ko lang talaga is manoond ng concert ni Taylor Swift pero first day ko pa lang, I felt connected na and I belong. Umiiyak ako during my last night kasi I felt the things you felt, the quality of living and superb. Right now, nag-iipon na ko to work on a PR visa. Better try than wonder forever!

[@863rafael]

Before I migrated to Australia from the Philippines, I used to work in an office, and we had to come in on Saturday's to work half-day. New migrants must learn to be patient and hardworking. They must learn how to save money especially nowadays. When I was new in Australia, I also experienced homesickness at that time my parents were still in the Philippines. Now, I have been living in Australia for 25 years and I'm glad I took the chance.

[@MillennialGirlfriend]

Thanks for the inspiring insight! ❤️

[@rizzasalcedo2026]

I can so much relate to your story. I am also the type of person who focuses on providing help first to others. I hope I can also go to Australia and be able to focus on myself and to step outside the shadows of my parents. Sana kayanin ko din. :) Thank you for sharing your story. I am in my early thirties pero I hope it is not yet too late.

[@jayr807]

I agree. Australia is still better than most countries . Compared to Canada , Dubai and Australia. Australia is still better. The more experience or if if you study in Australia , your salary goes up. Gym is affordable and there are still places where you can eat cheap. Maybe housing is expensive but government gives you money if you’re a first home buyer.

[@MillennialGirlfriend]

Yes, the government tries to help as much as they can 😊

[@freddelafuente7666]

Hi , Nice to see your videos. How are you?

[@joea9813]

Great video ❤ however, its not all rainbows and sunshine here in aus. The government here is really functional and healthcare system. Ang challenges here are rent, and cost of living everything is 3x or 5x compared to ph. Also buying a house here is almost impossible. 😖

[@jana8849]

Regional Australia like where I live homes are still affordable.

[@annragum_24]

Hi Hello, so inspiring hearing your journey to australia. May i ask po, may chance po ba ang mga 40plus na age jan po?at with family pa. Thanks for the reply 🥰

[@lalaineelizabeth]

Can you tackle housing / mortgage rates etc and how to afford one :) salamat

[@cjdulaca]

Biological mum ko nasa QLD, kaya lang hindi niya ako anak by paper. We're tryna figure out the easiest way to get there.

[@sprooced345]

I can only hope I learned the same perspective when I was healthy and able and working abroad. Although it may sound small sa mga taong tinulungan ko, they would never realize that it was my 90 percent of time effort that I dedicated to them. Now I'm sick, unable to work, and the same family I helped, the same people who did unimaginably ugly things to me. Please love yourself above everyone else. It's not being selfish. You only have yourself. Work hard for yourself. You may stay healthy or you may not, like me, so give yourself enough to thank for pag sarili mo nalang ang maaashan mo. Mabango ka sa pamilya when you have the energy and resources, pag wala na, for some, it's their reality na wala na ulit ang respeto nila sayo pag wala ka narin maibigay.this has been my reality while I continue to exist (merely existing and not living) since my health went downhill. Wag puro bigay. That was a hard lesson I learned the hard way.

[@MillennialGirlfriend]

True po. Sorry to hear about your experience and all the best ❤️

[@vivenrodrigo8685]

I’ve been here since 2011, and I’d rather be in pinas. The suicide rate here is high, kc very lonely. They live to work. Very rare yung socialising here. Everyone is too busy. Goods lang sya for work, but living id say no. But each to there own. I stayed kc nagka anak aq, the same year na Dapat pauwi nko sa pinas(2017). Ps. I came here with my family.

[@MillennialGirlfriend]

Sorry to hear that. Sadly, mahirap nga makipag socialise lalo na for our age. Fortunately may mga naging naclose naman ako sa work and nagkikita kami outside work. Swertihan din talaga. Hope you're doing well po. Kapit lang and try to find social clubs within your local suburbs ❤️

[@myhno1230]

same feeling, uuwi din ako sa Pilipinas someday,kase i dont see myself in my old age na dito ako..iba ang pakiramdam sa pinas.

[@cebuanagirl1591]

I came here to Australia with my family as a 9 year old and have lived here for 45 years. Even though I have basically grown up here and love Australia, I still don’t feel like I truly belong here as I will always be seen as an Asian migrant. My dream is to retire in Cebu soon.

[@OptionSpreadProfits]

Im 50 can i still move to australia? What visa can i apply for?

[@iamedenlee]

If a company will sponsor you for a working visa you can move here but if your goal is to apply for Permanent Residency, bagsak na po agad sa age. Pointing system po kasi dito.

[@shuttrbug1842]

Umuwi na ko pinas after 10 years and mas maganda na pla dito. Work from home 7:45 hours lang.. Ok na rin ang pay and cost of living. Ibang iba na sa pinas.. Sumasabay na din.

Hi Ms. @MillennialGirlfriend, i kept browsing and searching here in youtube about life in Au, and saw your latest upload im an ofw here in Dubai with a fam of 5 plan to migrate with a 190 visa, madamin po akong tanong, mai takot nadin mix po ang nararamdaman pero we really wanted kaming mg asawa para sa future ng mga kids, since Dubai we can’t be citizen here and no benefits from the government. Main takot ko if makakahahap kaya ako agad ng work dyan at ako ang main applicant? Sa ilang mos nah ako lang mg work at syempre si hubby muna sa mga bata kakayanin kaya☺️☺️. I do hope to get your thoughts po. New followers here😇

[@MillennialGirlfriend]

Thanks for watching po! Advice ko po dapat may ipon talaga kayo for the worst case scenario. Depende sa type ng experience niyo kung mahihirapan kayo maghanap work. Ok din kung willing kayo mag casual sa hospitality sa simula habang naghahanap full time work. Pero kung 190 kayo makakapunta dito, mas ok na ok po kasi may gov benefits na kayo agad. Good luck 🤞

[@cyrennapoles1831]

@@MillennialGirlfriend salamat po ng marami at napansin niyo po, if we say ipon po to be honest kulang pah, base sa mga nah research ko nah fam of 4 approximate expenses sa COL dyan but we are not in a rush naman cguro a year from now, maka ipon pah lalo, since thru agent or consultant ang process namin for PR, ng worry lng po ako since 3 ang kids namin even PR kami and ako naman or even si husband d kami mapili kung ano muna work available to sustain. (experienced HR po ako and BusinessDC naman si husband) Medyo po gumaan ang loob at nawala takot ko when u said sa last part if PR nah kami papunta dyan mas okay. ☺️😇 God bless po🙏🏻

[@glennolazo7671]

Thanks po for sharing your thoughts about living in AU. I've been dreaming of migrating and living in AU matagal na with my family pero ndi ko sya ma pursue kase wlang enough savings for applying for a visa (189 or 190) and ang hnhintay ko lng na opportunity is to have a company in there that offers Visa sponsorship and yet wla prin po mahanap(maybe very rare lng sa AU company na nag hhire ng Software Engineer role offshore). Now that Na may naipon na po ako pang apply (pero ako plang ndi pa kasama wife and son ko) do you think it's worth it po ba to take a risk of applying for a Visa 189/190? Pag pamilyado na po kase mejo dpat calculated na ung actions ko since. By the way I'm 33yrs old, Senior Software Engineer here sa PH and I do believe I can still make it.

[@MillennialGirlfriend]

Based on your occupation, baka may chance pa po kayo sa 190 and 189. Mas in demand profession niyo kesa sakin 😅😅 Waiting for invite pa din ako. May option pa po kayo other states mas malaki chance mainvite. Stuck nalang ako sa Sydney since dito na friends ko and partner's family. Good luck po and dont lose hope 🙏
