Online Money

50 days after announcing that I crossed over, my paypal breached the $100 mark. The first time I bumped into dotcom mogul John Chow's site a month ago, he mentioned celebrating some milestones in one's problogging career. So, after seeing the email that I got paid, I told my wife that we're going to celebrate.

She asked me why, but I just smiled and did not give an immediate answer. "Wait until we're seated in a restaurant table" I told her.

After our orders were set in the table, I told her about my problogging milestone. "Is that it?" she naughtily asked, withholding her delight.

"That's about P4,070 at present exchange rate" I said. Then we laughed. "Honestly, I still don't know how to withdraw it" I added.

Recalling the opps (mostly gambling) that I intentionally skipped, that could have summed up to more or less another hundred bucks. But no regrets in anyway. I blog only for the topics I like, and which can add value to the readers.

wow, $100 is still $100! sabi nga sa isang commercial, big thing starts from small beginning...

i am not really sure of this (as i don't have a paypal account) but i heard you can withdraw your paypal money here in the phils from unionbank (sort of fund transfer), maybe you need to open an account with unionbank, eon account ata.

i think it can be withdrawn from paypal to your credit card but paypal will charge you 5$. the credit card will also charge you (i dont know how much).

maybe you email paypal for info.

Hi Lazarus! Congrats! Naku nakakatuwa ano? When I reached my first $100 din, super tuwa ko. Then when I received my first conversion, hala, yaya agad sa buong family to celebrate hehe... :)

You can withdraw it to your credit card (if you used one). But remember kapag credit card, you can only withdraw 5 times a year. But if you are using Unionbank EON or savings account, kahit ilang beses ok lang.

Happy weekend! Here's to more dollars in our Paypal account! :)
