  Ahmee Fabula-Aquino - Anyway, I heard about migrating to NZ thru a workmate sa MWSS and then nag-try akong mag-apply through points system (General Category) so na-approved naman ako after 5 months of waiting.  So there we go -kasama kong nag-apply yung 1 ko pang ka-officemate sa MWSS.  We migrated here November 1996 and dito ko na rin nakilala yung husband ko na Pinoy rin (which preferred ko talaga na Pinoy rin ang maging asawa).  Although, I was a CPA sa 'Pinas-e hindi ko naman ma-practice dito because I landed to a different job-pero OK na rin for a start but then when I got married and have 2 growing kids no time na para sa akin ang mag-further ng studies to have a good career.  Tama na sa akin ang simple clerical work dahil very demanding ang maging mother role lalo na dito na you do everything dahil walang katulong.  I just leave it to my husband ang kumayod ng husto (ha! ha!) Happy na ako sa ganoong klaseng lifestyle-especially here na very quiet and simple life.
