PayPal is a Pain in the Ass!!!

So what’s with the exclamation point and the derogative term for this established company?

Oh well, they said that PayPal will not cause so much hassle in receiving money.

Quite the contrary, for weeks now I haven’t received my $60 dollar money over PayPal.

Why?

Because they won’t let me link to my debit card, which is a BPI card. And they can’t send it to Western Union. So what i did was i sent it to my office mate, which has PayPal account too.

But, but, but, even she had the same problems too. Their bank was having trouble linking their account to Paypal and 2 weeks has passed with only letters and empty promises from PayPal and their bank.

Godddammit, we didn’t signed up to experience hassles from hell.

Fiesta!,Errors and Disasters (and Job Listings!)

I get to review my last posting, which was posted last Saturday, and to my horror, the title was senseless. So I immediately edited it today and went to my morning ritual - checking out job ads sites for new job postings.

Saturday was both fun and disastrous. After attending to two toddlers here at work (Ate Jean and I brought along our kids - Kyla , 5 and Isheen, 4), I collapsed in my bed immediately as I feel exhausted from the heat outside. Tremendous heat here in the Philippines is the number one sign that it’s indeed summer time. So back with my weekend. I just dozed off when Mine called to say he’s on his way to visit me. So, I napped for another 30 minutes or so before attending to my precious loved ones. How sweet. Lolz.

However, the day didn’t went smoothly as expected. My daughter cried all her might in fear that she endangered a baby in a way or another. She was playing with my niece, EJ, who’s turning 1 year, in her crib, when she tried to erect upright the baby. However, since EJ can’t stand on her own yet, she feel backwards, and in shock, let out a screaming cry. Kyla was frightened and cried too, in fear that she’ll be scolded and that something bad happened to EJ. I have to carry her to get her home to calm her down and tell her the same that she should never try anything on EJ again. She got my point and promised not to repeat that mistake again.

But as we all know, kids are kids. The second incident happened just outside our door where she got a cola bottle broken. After that, I was furious and told her to stay put. I had a short fuse that day, contributed by stress and tiredness.

Nevertheless, I tried not to be grumpy and make my child feel bad. So I put her to bed and stayed until she fell asleep. It’s important that I’m there when she’s sleepy. I noticed that she sleeps well and fuss-free whenever I join her in bed and watch her sleep. It’s my goal to do it more often, to get back to that habit we have when I was still in school. Ü

Sunday was action-packed and emotion-driven day. First, I dropped off Kyla at my Dad’s and then went with Mine for Pulung Santol Town Fiesta in Porac, Pampanga. We first went to their house to rest for a few minutes and then went off to the barrio where his folks are. Food is great, although I can barely eat because I was sort of nervous and half the time I’m eating, the power is out. I can’t stand the heat and had to eat quickly. After that, Mine brought me to the living room area to talk to her Grandma and Aunts. His folks are fun and good people. He slipped away to have a couple of drinks with the male members of his family. However, due to heat, he got intoxicated easily. I have to send an SMS to him that I’m dizzy so that we could go. It’s one thing that you accompany a drunk guy, another thing is how to keep him looking sane when he is indeed drunk.

When we reached their house, he dozed off effortlessly and I was about to leave him like that, if only his dad didn’t texted him that he would go home. I tried everything to wake him up, but the only thing that did woke him up was his phone ringing.

So the day went on watching TV until his friends asked him to come with them. A drinking session again. I was not really keen to go with him, but as I know Philippine fiestas are plagued by riots, caused by drunken people. So I accompanied him, with a condition not to get drunk. The deal was on, so we went to his friends and had good time listening to their stories.

It was midnight when we came back, tired and all. I fell asleep immediately as I hit the bunk bed and dozed off to my merry dreams.

When I See You Smile by Bad English

I feel so, what’s the word? Pressured would be an understatement. So for that person who’s always there - this is for you.

Even though you don’t know about my blog.
Sometimes I wonder
How I’d ever make it through,
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn’t have a clue

‘Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world’s closing in on me,
And there’s no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in,
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you, baby
And everything’s alright,
everything’s alright

When I see you smile
I can face the world, oh oh,
you know I can do anything
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light, oh oh,
I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Oh yeah, baby when I see you smile at me

Baby there’s nothing in this world
that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It’s like nothing that I ever knew

And when the rain is falling
I don’t feel it,
’cause you’re here with me now
And one look at you baby
Is all I’ll ever need,
you’re all I’ll ever need

Chorus

Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in,
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby
And everything’s alright,
everything’s alright

So right…

How to Stop Procrastinating

Funny how I got across to this topic from ehow.com. You should find sometime to check out the site. Anyway, here’s the article. Enjoy reading

“There’s an old joke that the members of Procrastinators Anonymous keep meaning to meet … but keep putting it off.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Personal Organizers
• Calendars
• Running Watches

Step 1:
Think about why you procrastinate: Are you afraid of failing at the task? Are you a perfectionist and only willing to begin working after every little element is in place? Are you easily distracted?

Step 2:
Break up a large, difficult project into several smaller pieces. Tackle each piece separately.

Step 3:
Set deadlines for completion. Try assigning yourself small-scale deadlines ‘ for example, commit to reading a certain number of pages in the next hour.

Step 4:
Work in small blocks of time instead of in long stretches. Try studying in one- to two-hour spurts, allowing yourself a small break after each stint.

Step 5:
Start with the easiest aspect of a large, complex project. For example, if you’re writing an academic paper and find that the introduction is turning out to be hard to write, start writing the paper’s body instead.

Step 6:
Enlist others to help. Make a bet with your family, friends or co-workers that you will finish a particular project by a specified time, or find other ways to make yourself accountable.

Step 7:
Eliminate distractions or move to a place where you can concentrate. Turn off the television, the phone ringer, the radio and anything else that might keep you from your task.

 

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that progress, not perfection, is your goal.
• Track your goals on a calendar or in a personal organizer. Keep your goals reasonable and check off each one when you are finished.

- sounds easy huh??

Kids On-Line 3D Community Addresses Short Falls in Children’s Education Worldwide

Contact: Charles Lawrence CEO
Phone: +63 9295976961 Email:lace@shogee.com

Honululu, Hawaii, Kids on-line 3D entertainment is set to take on a new direction with the launch of the Greanwold community for children in September 2008. Greanwold takes a refreshing step in on-line interactivity by being specifically designed to educate while engaging kids in a fun and safe learning environment.

A little over 12 months ago developers began to brainstorm the idea of creating the Greanwold on-line community for kids. The inspiration behind creating Greanwold came from the recognition that despite children being avid users of the Internet general levels of literacy and numeracy continue to decline worldwide. With that in mind Greanwold developers have set out to design an on-line virtual environment that seeks to address these global short falls in a new and exciting way.

On-line communities for children generally provide entertainment, offering a mix of games and social networking features. Greanwold has taken this basic concept and added an extra level of interactivity with its unique on-line tutoring functionality. This enables kids to chat in real time with an on-line tutor who will tailor educational assistance to an individual’s specific needs. “Greanwold’s qualified tutors have designed their curriculum to suit varied regional requirements and will cater for the specific needs of an individual child regardless of where they live,” says Charles Lawrence, CEO of Greanwold.

Greanwold games continue on an educational theme being based on real life activities such as employment, managing businesses, buying houses and general money management. Children navigateGreanwold by adapting characters to suit their own personality and can create original content for the site including music and drama. “Creating this world and tying in real world features makes a game atmosphere that can help teach kids many of the basic life lessons while exploring their own personal creativity. Greanwold provides an opportunity for kids to learn things that schools no longer focus on while having fun and adventure,” says Lawrence.

High on the checklist for any parent are well-founded concerns for their children’s safety when engaging in social networking features such as chat. Greanwold has utilized advanced technology in their chat facilities that automatically block any malicious or personal information from being exchanged. Live on-line assistance is also provided, adding a further level of protection for children’s safety.

“Our goal is to provide a unique exciting learning environment for children across the world,” says Lawrence. “We believe that children are discerning Internet users and the limit for their potential to learn is determined by the scope of opportunities we present to them. We have developed Greanwold with the expressed aim of broadening the opportunities for children around the world”.

After all…It’s A Small World..

It’s a world of laughter
A world of tears
It’s a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There’s so much that we share
That it’s time we’re aware
It’s a small world after all

There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev’ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small, small world

Woooohhhh!!!!!!!!

I never thought that I would still be “found” despite of evading people. So here I am, in this small office, doing stuffs, and looking for some files - when I accidentally opened a folder of pictures.

The contents were puzzling. Not because the images are abstract pieces but personal pictures of someone I know, but doesn’t know me. A sister of a college instructor. In my office laptop. What the heck.

At first I was thinking that, maybe it’s not her. Maybe they just look alike. And then I saw a Word Document that says “HRM”. I opened the file and saw the name. Good heavens! So, siya nga yun talaga.

My mind’s racing by that time, on how the hell happened that his sister’s pictures would be stored in this laptop? It was then that I remembered a person who works in this place with the same name as my instructor’s father. I was like - could it be him? Yeah right. After asking around, I was more than sure that it is really his dad.

Goodness. I felt that I was doomed.

But again, this place may not be ideal for others, but my work is as clean as a white paper. I’m doing no illegal nor immoral.

I guess, I’m just afraid to be judged - as a budding careerwoman.

Personal Note:

I’m missing my baby - she’s on vacay.

Impressive!

I must say, I was impressed how things went on since I’ve abandoned this blog site for quite some time. I wasn’t really blogging thru wordpress back then. - I was using Friendster’s, but thanks to brownmestizo (@ brownmestizo.net - check out his brown thoughts), I’m now using a better service.A former college mate notified me that Kapitan’s blog is still existing - in fact, it’s blooming with love (I guess he is inlove, again. Nice.). Last semester, we have created our wordpress accounts so we could publish our articles for the college’s official publication, but instead, it became a personal blog for us. I can’t speak for others, but mine has been like that since then.  For other impressive things, I get to try a tablet drawing pad. Uh, whatever it is called. The one graphic artists use for doodling? That’s it. It’s sooo cute. And pretty amazing. Not that I’m much of an artist. I’ll find a use for it.Another impressive thing - I’m using a Mac laptop for the meantime, here at work. This goddamn machine costs about 100,000 pesos and so cool. A little bit disorienting, but since the interface is Vista-like, it only took a while for me to play with it. Very interactive and great for doing multimedia stuff. I think I’ll buy one when I can afford it.  So, as my closing impressive thing to mention - the sunrise this morning. I noticed that today’s sunrise is much earlier than the other days, and at 9.30am it’s already scorching hot. Lucky I have my purple umbrella with me. Why purple? It symbolizes power. Hahaha.Impressive day, isn’t it?
