Enough with the salty coffee! Here... let me share another taste of life.
Have you ever experience a month-long real bad luck? I did! It started with a "HELP" that turns into a series of terrible days.
Around the second week of the month.. for the first time I tried withdrawing my money from Paypal through my local bank. Like it says, I have to wait for 5-7 days so from then on I started counting. On the 8th day, I received a confirmation from Paypal that says:
Well prior to this, I already was facing some personal issues so when I got this message from Paypal, I was just a bit stunned and finally sobbed out of dismay and disappointment. Who would be happy when you're charged to close to $20 for an invalid bank account information? So I left with no choice but to make another withdrawal transaction again... with a lesser amount this time...
Saturday, last week (17th) my sister asked if I could help her meet the amount she needs to cover their hospital bill. I had a thousand and a few hundreds left in my wallet. I knew a thousand wasn't enough but I still wired it anyway just as to help her some. The following days became so tight until I finally run out of cash in my pocket.
RESCUE ME!
On Wednesday (13th), JK did. He wired me a few dollars through the Western Union. I was a bit relieved... When I have to claim the money, the local money transferring outlet (HLhuillier: WU affiliate) went offline! and there was nowhere else to possibly get the money from.
WHEW! What the ****!
The following day, Thursday (14th), I headed to the city. At least there, there are numbers of WU outlets. In one of the malls, I tried. I'm a bit happy with the exchange rate. 47.02 to 1USD. I filled out a form, handed it to the lady and waited for my turn. Finally my name was called.
The WU lady: "I'm sorry miss but I can't seem to locate this transaction. You must have written the wrong control number!
HUH!
She tried encoding the numbers one more time but it still didn't go through. I texted JK to ask and verify the control number for me again. He didn't answered. So I have to find the nearest internet cafe'. It was around 11 O'clock. Good that he's still awake. We talked a while and then I left the cafe. On my way out, I saw another WU outlet. I tried. No, they don't accommodate international transfer.
Urghhh...... how terrible!
I made up my mind and headed my way back to the WU where I first transacted from inside the Mall. I queued myself again. While standing in front of the counter when my name was called, I spotted the exchange rate board that says: 46.97 to 1USD.
Now, how's that for being so unlucky, huh! But wait.... the bad luck didn't end there yet... however this is getting too long to read for just a single post... don't it? So let me just save the rest of the story for my next entry.
Have a fun and safe weekend, everyone!

Hi Nancy, it's not going to be badluck everyday. IN every person's life, times like this happen and it's normal.
Am just curious what made u lose that more than 20 dollars for a bank account transaction - is it EON - paypal thing? If so - baka maka relate ka sa akong story here -

i would appreciate a comment. Since that time i never tried EON again.
Sweetheart I told you from the start I will help you with what I can as I can... You are a special type person... You have a habit of helping others more then yourself...
Sometimes helping ourselves is needed as well... I hope everthing works out in the end... Start thinking positive again and thing will go positive again... Remember negative thoughts breed negative results...
Love you, mahal na mahal kita...
@arlene
thanks sis.
re-paypal. i think it's not Paypal that sucks. Maybe it's the local bank. I've never had such problem with Paypal before until I tried withdrawing my money through the local bank. I don't wanna think about it further so I just let it pass but i will never make any transaction with them again. I would rather pay $5 and have my funds transfered safe and on time.
@Jk
thanks sweetheart...love ya so much too!
I dont wanna comment~~~ u know my standing when it comes to money...oppss.. hwag galit~ prinsipyo lang ang pinagkaiba natin. I still love you Nance!
Lovielly~
