Withdraw PayPal Funds to Indonesian & Philippine Bank Account


This is a good news for the PayPal member in Indonesia and Philippine. Now you can add your local bank account to your PayPal account, so you can withdraw your money directly to your bank. It saves you time and gives you faster access to your PayPal funds! No more fee charges for withdraw money from credit card.

PayPal has added a new withdrawal feature for its Philippine and Indonesian members, allowing them to conveniently withdraw funds from their PayPal accounts to their local bank accounts.


All local banks can be used to withdraw the funds, and the funds will be converted to your local currency. But first you will need to become a verified PayPal member and next you need to add your bank account. It will takes 5-7 business days for the fund to reach your bank account. However, depending on your bank’s policies, it may take longer.


There are no minimum withdrawal amounts or maximum withdrawal amounts. But for Philippine users, withdrawal amounts less than PHP 7,000 there will be a fee of PHP 50. And for Indonesian users, withdrawal amounts of less than IDR 1.5 million, there will be a fee of IDR 16,000.

New EntreCard Banner


We all know, EntreCard was the hottest issue around this blogsphere recently. So I think it's better to have a nice and unique banner for my EntreCard and expect it would give me more advertiser and more click to my site. That's why I need help for designing EntreCard for my sites, cause I don't have background for design. So far I did them myself and the result was not really satisfied me.

I decided to hire someone to design it for me. I looked around EntreCard Shop and found several offers in there. After checking out their collections, I decided to choose Tyler Mulligan from Do Know Evil to design mine. It cost 400ec, the price is quite reasonable and his designs are nice as well.


It took couple of days for him to finish it. And today I received my new EntreCard banner. Honestly it's not close with what I expected, but definitely much better than the previous one. But who knows this design will bring me to the top? Nobody know that for sure. :)

So what do you think about my new EntreCard?

When Girls Don't Put Out

I received this by email from M.C. This was written by a guy, it's pretty damn smart...


Girls Please have a sense of humor!
I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.

FOR EXAMPLE:

One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me.'

I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!'

So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear...

'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'

She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?'

Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.

The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, 'Lets get a pair for each outfit.'

We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.

I think I threw her for a loop when I said, 'That's fine, honey.' She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, 'I think this is all
dear, let's go to the cashier.'

I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, 'No honey, I don't feel like it.'

Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled, 'WHAT?'

I then said, 'Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman.'

And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, 'Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?'

Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that bitch knows I'm smarter than her.

First Payment Cheque From Google

I received my first cheque from Google Adsense amount US$109.50. I know it's not much. But at least what I've done all this time has the result. I started using Adsense since March 2007. So $109.50 for 9 months worked, you all would be thinking that it's not worth it. But what I'm thinking that it's norm since when I started, I have no knowledge at all about earning money with Adsense. That 9 months are the process of learning.


Actually for this moment, my Adsense account already reached the minimum payment already. So I'm expecting another cheque from Google around next month.

Eight Lies of A Mother

This is a touching story that I received from Lovebeats. After reading this, my teardrops fell without I realized. This story reminds me of one of my aunt who has passed away. Her story similar to this story, widow who has to work hard in her life for her children. She also refused to re-marry again, and always gave in for her children. I hope this story will touch your heart like the way it touched me...

"EIGHT LIES OF A MOTHER"


The story began when I was a child. I was born as a son of a poor family.
Even for eating, we often got lack of food. Whenever the time for eating, mother often gave me her portion of rice. While she was removing her rice into my bowl, she would say "Eat this rice, son. I'm not hungry".
That was Mother's First Lie.

When I was getting to grow up, the persevering mother gave her spare time for fishing in a river near our house, she hoped that from the fishes she got, she could gave me a little bit nutritious food for my growth. After fishing, she would cook the fishes to be a fresh fish soup, which raised my appetite. While I was eating the soup, mother would sit beside me and eat the rest meat of fish, which was still on the bone of the fish I ate. My heart was touched when I saw it. I then used my chopstick and gave the other fish to her. But she immediately refused it and said "Eat this fish, son. I don't really like fish."
That was Mother's Second Lie.

Then, when I was in Junior High School, to fund my study, mother went to an economic enterprise to bring some used-matches boxes that would be stuck in. It gave her some money for covering our needs. As the winter came, I woke up from my sleep and looked at my mother who was still awoke, supported by a little candlelight and within her perseverance she continued the work of sticking some used-matches box.
I said, "Mother, go to sleep, it's late, tomorrow morning you still have to go for work. "Mother smiled and said "Go to sleep, dear. I'm not tired."
That was Mother's Third Lie.

At the time of final term, mother asked for a leave from her work in order to accompany me. While the daytime was coming and the heat of the sun was starting to shine, the strong and persevering mother waited for me under the heat of the sun's shine for several hours. As the bell rang, which indicated that the final exam had finished, mother immediately welcomed me and poured me a glass of tea that she had prepared before in a cold bottle. The very thick tea was not as thick as my mother's love, which was much thicker. Seeing my mother covering with perspiration, I at once gave her my glass and asked her to drink too. Mother said "Drink, son. I'm not thirsty!".
That was Mother's Fourth Lie.

After the death of my father because of illness, my poor mother had to play her role as a single parent. By held on her former job, she had to fund our needs alone. Our family's life was more complicated. No days without sufferance. Seeing our family's condition that was getting worse, there was a nice uncle who lived near my house came to help us, either in a big problem and a small problem. Our other neighbors who lived next to us saw that our family's life was so unfortunate, they often advised my mother to marry again. But mother, who was stubborn, didn't care to their advice, she said "I don't need love."
That was Mother's Fifth Lie.

After I had finished my study and then got a job, it was the time for my old mother to retire. But she didn't want to; she was sincere to go to the marketplace every morning, just to sell some vegetable for fulfilling her needs. I, who worked in the other city, often sent her some money to help her in fulfilling her needs, but she was stubborn for not accepting the money. She even sent the money back to me. She said "I have enough money."
That was Mother's Sixth Lie.

After graduated from Bachelor Degree, I then continued my study to Master Degree. I took the degree, which was funded by a company through a scholarship program, from a famous University in America . I finally worked in the company. Within a quite high salary, I intended to take my mother to enjoy her life in America. But my lovely mother didn't want to bother her son, she said to me "I'm not used to."
That was Mother's Seventh Lie.

After entering her old age, mother got a flank cancer and had to be hospitalized. I, who lived in miles away and across the ocean, directly went home to visit my dearest mother. She lied down in weakness on her bed after having an operation.
Mother, who looked so old, was staring at me in deep yearn. She tried to spread her smile on her face, even it looked so stiff because of the disease she held out. It was clear enough to see how the disease broke my mother's body, thus she looked so weak and thin.
I stared at my mother within tears flowing on my face. My heart was hurt, so hurt, seeing my mother on that condition. But mother, with her strength, said "Don't cry, my dear. I'm not in pain."
That was Mother's Eight Lie.

After saying her eighth lie, She closed her eyes forever!

Life Insurance For Your Financial Plan


Are you the backbone of the family? If you are, have you ever thought about what would happen if you are not there to support them anymore? Maybe you have left some saving but how long it would last? Imagining your loved ones couldn't have the decent life as they used to might break your heart. So why don't you prepare everything before it's too late? Getting a life insurance is one solution for that.

Life insurance is the only financial instrument that is based on caring and love. The real impetus is love for those one cares most about, to make sure they are taken care of. Even though there can be personal advantages to having life insurance. While one is taking care of the financial needs and wants of a spouse or the next generations, life insurance can also develop and build one’s personal financial goals while living. You might be able to use more of your assets to enjoy life in retirement.

There are various types of life insurance but they all have some common attributes. Premium Life Insurance, where at your death, the life insurance company pays an amount to the people you named in your policy. And there are also Whole Life Insurance and Universal Life Insurance. This types of life insurance have cash benefits available while you’re living. In these types, a portion of your premium goes into a cash reserve and builds on a tax deferred basis. You can access this money, called cash value. Some people use it to help education costs, enhance retirement cash flow or for any reason.

Combined with investments, retirement and estate planning, a life insurance policy is a cornerstone of a sound financial plan. By looking into this area, you are making an intelligent and caring financial decision for your family. It is important that you have life insurance and have enough to protect those you care about.
