This are my life. My beautiful kids (from L-R) Nicole, Neil and Natalie. We transferred here in Australia hoping to give them more time and space where we can enjoy and go out as a family every week. They don't understand the idea why we need to moved here in Oz. They missed all their friends and school in UK that everyday they kept asking what if we're still there. They already started school last month. They are starting to settle but still needs a little bit of time for them to adjust. Neil will not start school until January and I cannot afford to send him to a daycare because it cost $80 per day. If my husband can find work my plan is to enroll him even twice a week. For now his 2 big sister are his tutor and he is learning a lot from them.
My Life
Industrial Equipment
Are you interested about industrial equipment? If you are then visit reidsupply.com. They offer anything from metalworking, pneumatics and hydraulics, tools, structural systems, material handling, bearing and power transmission and everything that you can think of that man will love. I'm sure if my husband will find out about this site he will find things to add to his collection. Imagine when we left UK he sent 10 big boxes full of steel. And needed 3 manpower to carry one box.
Last Day Out in UK
We had a lot of plans on our last month in UK. But unfortunately we run out of time. I still had a lot of places that I wanted to visit but nevermind. I think 8 years of staying and spending there is already enough. Still, I miss all my friends over there but life must go on and I need to embrace all the change that's happening to us and so far me and my family are loving it. Picture above is our last day out in UK.
Wonderful Cards
I am a person who's not very good in sending cards. My colleagues at work in UK are already waiting for my update what happening about me here. Lucky to those who got facebook because I always update my whereabouts. But I really need to send one over there. Anyway, I found a site that offers a lot of holiday invitations for any occasion including parties, Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving and many more. Check it out now for cool and wonderful cards.
Philippine Holiday with Friends
When we hent on holiday in Philippines on April we spent our first week at home and afterwards we went to Davao, to our place then to Camiguin in just a span of 5 days. It was good but very tiring. But it not went very well as I expected because something unexpected happened (don't really knew what the hell she was thinking). Well, overall our holiday was good because for the last time I saw some friends from UK and spent our holiday with them. It was fun and we had a lot of happy memories. Manang and Mareng Novy sorry if I did not ask you that I will post our pictures here. Miss you all!!! Anyway, I want to plug here my part time job which is selling breeches (not really :)
I'm Back!
After being very busy for 3 months. I am back in blogging world. Hopefully this will continue because as you all know we are in the place where there's a lot to do as a family. I missed all my friends here in the cyber space. I'm really really sorry for not visiting you friends. I was very busy moving all the way from UK to OZ with Philippine holiday in between. With a new job, house hunting, car hunting and all sort we are starting to settle here down under. See you around guys.
Looking For Insurance
I haven't received my relocation allowance because I haven't got my insurance yet. I'm still trying to find a good deal for me and my family. I hope that I can find one with a lot of benefits. I'm new to this because I did not had one back in UK. All health care cost over there is free. My friend said that I need to look at leads for insurance because they have a lot to offer. How about you? Do you have anything to suggest?
Still No Internet!!!
For 3 weeks now we don't have internet connection. I applied more than 3 weeks ago but the company is so slow. I called them this afternoon and they said I need to apply on Friday again, it sucks without one!!! Hopefully next week it will be connected if not I will apply to another company again. Today I'm here at my friend's house using her internet connection and thanks to her. Anyway, I need to go now because I still need to find my box cutter.
Happy To Be Here
Yes even with different people surrounding me I am happy to be here in OZ. Different of course because I left my best friends in UK. It is not easy but I am trying my best to cope and of course enjoy what OZ can offer me and my family. I'm just glad that winter here is warm. And hurray for that :)
Exhausting Day
We don't have a car right now and for now since we live in the city we are not going to get one, maybe after few months. Thankfully my friend husband brought us to Ikea to buy the things that we will need when we move to our rented apartment. He brought us there midmorning and came back at closing time. There was a lot of shopper, it's Saturday today and also the people who are affected with the flooding bought new furniture that's why Ikea was so busy today. After paying everything I am totally brooked :( At least it will be my first salary next week but still I need to buy appliances. Hopefully I can find online store that deals with wholesale electronics so that I can get a good price.
