Kaya pala nawala ka! Good luck sa yo at sa pamilya mo.
Di ba lugar yan ng mga racist? Tsaka ni Elvis "da king" Presley?

Yeah, lugar nga ng mga racist pero funny thing is, the blacks and the whites are the ones who started it all. It's not really seen from where I live. Sa downtown memphis, dun daw grabe.

And I have yet to see the house "da King" built.

syempre di natin masasabi na mali yung survey based on a few replies dito sa tsikot hehe... remember, generally nasa A,B, and C classes yung tsikot members, not really the socioeconomic classes that would really benefit from migrating

mbt, tama ka pareko! anyways, just arrived from overseas last night-mukhang ok sa NAIA at mabilis ang paglabas dahil dun sa courtesy counter for OFW's...mukhang OT na pero dagdag ko lang for the benefit of arriving OFW's kung may chance kayong dumaan ng DUTY FREE, kuha na kayo ng OEC dun,walang hassle.It took me just 10 mins to get one...

Musta mga tsikoters?

Im a newbie here and I am very much interested to get some inputs/insights living in California. Just so happended na may job offer ako dun next year. I just want to know some answers to the following questions below that is clouding my mind...

Hows's the cost of living there?
How much will I spend on monthly rental on lodging?
How much do you usually spend the whole day/month on your food?
Will 3 grands per month good enough para may mai-save at maipadala ako sa family ko d2 sa pinas?

Hope you guys can help me on this. Thanks in advance.

Depende kung san ka sa California. You could rent a nice apartment unit for around $1,000 per month. Unlike dito, apartment units already come with a refrigerator, stove, oven, AC, and most of the time microwave. Huwag kang magrenta ng fully furnished na apartment. Punta ka sa Target o Walmart, duon ka bumili ng $50 desk, $300 bed, $50 table, atbp.

Expect $100 total per month for electric, phone and water bill. Water bill is usually kasama na sa rent. Cable TV is $40 per month. Hirap kasi calculate ang cost of living because everyone is different. Food is around $300 to $500 per person per month, depende kung nagluluto ka o puro fastfood. Habang college ako, $400 per month pero matakaw kasi ako.

$3,000 per month is more than enough.

gusto ko lang magkaroon ng trabaho sa states or any other country...

pero migration?.. di na siguro... madaming maiiwan dito eh... ok lang magtrabaho nalang me dun for 1-2-3 years or so.. dito na ko mamamatay.. kasi pag doon, iuuwi pa ko dito. gastos lang abutin ng mga naiwan dito hehe:D

sakin naman kaya tagalkonasaabroad dahil sa future ng pamilya ko..wala kasi akong manang hektahektaryang palayan at tubuhan gaya ng mga anak ni danding kunyari..

but my wife and my daughters are very loving, understanding & supportive naman at nabibigyan ko sila ng modest means of living plus modest kind of comfort as well as modest type of education..kaya i dont worry much about their future hanggat dito pako earning just enough to put my mind at ease..

imho, sa sistema ng palakad ng gobyerno satin kanya kanyang diskarte nalang talaga..
