What the November!

November is like the f*ck of the year and when I say f*ck I mean it is so frikkin awesome… ok not so much but this month has got to be the most unforgettable for the year 2007 for me. It is just spilling with too many events. Let’s do a recap, why don’t we?

  1. I got my biggest Adsense earnings so far. Whoopie! :woohoo: 4-digit in dillar currency whydoncha, not bad for someone who’s lazy with ads, whoopie whoopie! :woohoo:
  2. The yearbook for our batch finally came out! Was able to catch up with batchmates. Still missing elbi though.
  3. Started upgrading my pc again. Bought new phone. Bought new dresses (why is it I suddenly liked buying dresses?). Bought a bunch of toys (cooking utensil toys and stuffed animals) for the little miss.
  4. Got the greatest vacation gift I could ever wish for but it’s still fudging pending since there are typhoons and stuff. I should go to Hong Kong instead. I’ll probably go to HK indeed. Still don’t know who to take with me.
  5. There’s Lando, Mina, Lando again…
  6. Google has been bitchslapping blogs with PPP. I’m not using PPP but I’m like why Google gods? I was thinking of joining but now I’m not so sure :?

Don’t Call to Get ExpUse Number for Paypal

A lot of bloggers talk about how they are using Unionbank’s EON to withdraw their funds from Paypal and how they got their expanded use number by calling the Unionbank customer service center.

The expanded use number or the EXPUSE number is a requirement to lift the sending limits in Paypal. If using a credit card, a $1.95 fee is charged from the credit card and the EXPUSE Number would normally be received on their billing statement the next month.

In the case of Unionbank EON CyberAccount users, you would have to call to get the EXPUSE number. But as I’ve found out from Pinoy Money Talk:

Paypal strongly discourages this policy of contacting card companies to get the Number, as seen in the following note from the PayPal website.
Paypal and EXPUSE Number

If this was the case, why does Unionbank prefer to have to their card users call to get the EXPUSE numbers?

It isn’t exactly our fault that we have to go through that method since it is the bank’s revised policy. And if Paypal was against this said policy, shouldn’t they investigate and warn Unionbank about it?

Do You Know When Your Site is Down?

From the uber informal and useless series of posts, a very geeky and information embedded post might be a shock for some. But anyways, this will probably catch the interest of bloggers and website owners alike since we all dedicate a fraction of our (if not our whole) time daily to maintaining our blogs and websites. Uptime is very important to a website, and in turn it is important that the server where the website resides is always to almost always accessible. Everyone who owns a website wants their website to experience minimal or no downtime because if the site always seem to be experiencing downtime, network failure, system outage or connection failure, either or both can happen:

  1. loss of revenue and/or profit
  2. loss of interest of viewers to revisit the blog or website

And we really don’t want our sites (especially business types) to be cause of great annoyance and distrust now, do we?

Incongruity II

Guys… What the hell is wrong with youz? This week alone I had several demented encounters with jerks that I’m beginning to consider self-deprivation of any contact with men or have a change of sexual preferences. Ok I take that back, I know I could not live without the real deal testosterone-based secks machine… :lol:

But there really are men boys bastardized goats in human clothes that I honestly think the world can live without.

The Birthday

People born on the month of November are the sexiest (the sleeziest too? heehee joke!) in the face of the planet. No, do not argue with my alcohol-influenced generalizations here, shut up. Lemme just greet all the sexy men and women who celebrated and will be celebrating their birthdays this month. Happy birthday to you guys! :woohoo:

my butt would like to greet you

On a serious note, I know I have been depressed and have been in a weird mood for the past several days (or is that several months? or maybe even years?) up to till two hours before my birthday last Wednesday night. It was then when a glimmer of hope emailed itself to me.

Emailed? Hi-tech na ang emotions ngayon? Oh yes, di nyo ba alam yun? Oh but I digress. My point is, it was my birthday last Thursday, when I thought things would look very bleak, it wasn’t really really such a disappointing day. And I should be updating my profile everywhere that still says I’m 22.
