I'm Still Here

[Bundy]

You may have noticed that i haven't posted here for a long long time. Well ladies and gents, retirement is not what i was expecting and to be honest, i just don't have the spare time.

The birth of our daughter is definitely the greatest thing that has happenned to us and she keeps us busy no end! Our days are full, there is always something happenning.

We have only just come back from a short visit to Australia which was neccessary to get the little girl's paperwork in order (she's now a full fledged Aussie).

After a few weeks in Oz i was glad to get out of the place and return here.Despite the many shortcommings of this place, i'd much rather be here.

Now i gotta read up on what you guys have been up to.

 

Here's a pic of our pride and joy Alison Bundy, She's now 6 months.

 

Cheers, Bundy

LOL hard to believe it's six months since you made the announcement mate!  Glad to hear everything is going so well.

 

How hard was it to obtain Aust citizenship for Alison mate?  And is she now a dual-citizen?

Well Bundy, you better get out your shotgun so that you can interview Alson's suitors in the future.  

One thing for sure, don't let her date any sailors, OK?  Definitely, another Miss Australia in the

making.

 

You did good Bundy, you and the Mrs.  Respectfully -- Jake

Don't worry about that dig, it's all under control. I know how to operate a cannon!, the old man showed me.

Citizenship was easy, just applied at the Aussie VIA centre in Cebu. Two weeks later she had her citizenship by descent certificate.

Funny thing we learned during the process was that even though Alison was born here and recognised as Filipino by birth, she was not eligible for a philippine passport because both parents are Australian citizens!

Australian passport took a bit longer and we had to go to Manila for that.No real dramas apart from them telling us a week after the application that the photos we submitted were not good enough and we needed to re do them.

All in all nowhere near as bad an experience as i was expecting.

Ali is now also registered for medicare, not that we will need it but it's done.

 

Next step  is to get the "dual citizenship" for my two girls,and then the old bloke can apply for permanent residence.

Travelling on a plane with a little baby was a bit of a nightmare for the two "old parents" but it's all good now.
