How do I convert my Euro in Paypal to USD?

**Ignore this post. I am mistaken, Paypal already converted it to USD. My maths is bad and I have too much money in there to notice the addition. LOL, only one statement is true - my maths is bad.

Original post from here :

I have one payment in my PayPal account which is in Euro. I didn’t know that I cannot withdraw the Euro into my Alrajhi Bank Malaysia because in the withdrawal box, I only see my USD and not the Euro. There is no option for withdrawing Euro to Ringgit Malaysia.

I prefer not to ask the other party to take back the Euro and pay me in USD.

So, anyone knows how to go about it? Or those Euro dollars are going to stay in my PayPal until I use it to pay for my other transaction?

So, how come I make all the money but you don’t?

LOL. The video has the answer for you. Rod Stewart is from my era. Enjoy. Or cringe. Wateva..

This is the only notebook I can afford now. SGD1.70 which I bought all the way from Singapore.

And the only Apple I can afford. 30 sen red jelly apple.

**It is a very wet and cold day today because it rains since this morning. So, I have no mood for serious blogging.

Do your blog subscribers ever reply to your blog posts in emails?

I have a few blogs meant for non-techie folks. Some of them subscribed to my blog through emails and some received through their friends’ recommendations.

What I find most unnerving is how they treat my blog posts as an email to them. They will sometimes reply to my blog posts very much like how people leave comments in our comments board. However, I get them through emails because they hit the reply button and write.

Normally, I do not reply because I do not want to have a thank you replied with another thank you. So, when I imagine people out there getting my blog posts via email into their personal inbox, I do get nervous. Usually, I wrote those posts on a one-to-one basis but when I write, it is meant for no one, especially not any individuals that I do not know. Yet, they replied like it was a ‘From me to you’ kinda warmth tone.

Eeek…do you ever get into such situations? It is rather freaky, you know?

Holiday down south

I am going to Singapore to attend my nephew’s wedding. Leaving soon and won’t be back till next week.

So, to all, have a good weekend and Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there.

However, with internet access on my mobile phone, I am not entirely out of touch with my blogs. Once a blogger, always a blogger. Holiday or not.

No laptop, no broadband

Arrggh…this has got to be the most unlucky day of all. My Sony Vaio kaput yesterday and I couldn’t restore Windows with the recovery disks. So, we had sent it to the Sony Service Centre and they suspect the motherboard is fried because all I see are lines and zeros. The Vaio already has no battery because I am not willing to fork out RM850 for a battery. If the motherboard is fried, I might as well buy a new laptop. This time I am going to buy a Dell. No more flimsy Sony for me again. Ever.

But if that is not bad enough, my home broadband kaput too. I called and make a report this morning and so far, two technical staffs have phoned me. One said my house is too far from the 4MB port. But that was not they told us when we applied. I scared them that I don’t care what they are going to do but they must get my line working again. I bluffed that I deal with internet business and each hour delay costs me a hell lot of money. LOLZ. That got the first guy nervous. So, his supervisor called me again and told me they are doing their best.

Someone taught me this trick. The next time your Streamyx line is down, bluffed that it involves thousands of USD and that will make them nervous and work faster.

Right now, I am using my Celcom Unlimited broadband. I have to rush through 15 paid posts by tonight. And I have only 3 more left. Yahoo!

Still, it is a chore to try remembering all my passwords to all my blogs because I am using my son’s desktop as it is the only computer working with my Sony Ericsson P1i mobile network.

Working best under pressure?

I have four high paying paid posts from rather discerning clients and I have to submit them YESTERDAY. I could churn out 100 words posts within 5 minutes but those pay only app. RM20 or less (USD5). Now, this is a four digit income job so it makes me terribly stressed out.

So, I have no choice but to ask for extension of the deadline to tomorrow. Or rather within less than 24 hours from now. Had been going around with the ideas spinning in my head all day long but just cannot find the opening sentence. I also need some decent photos and I still cannot find the angle of the story. Argggh…this is the first time I cannot work under pressure.

What about you? Can you come up with superb paid posts if you are being pressured? Like big amount of money and at the same time, you want to be sure that the whole plot is so natural your regular blog readers do not immediately notice that it is a paid post?

All my blogs have been sorely neglected except for my personal and faith blog because in the last one week, I have been to the mortuary to help relative claim bodies twice, watched someone breath his last yesterday, went to buy coffin this morning and a host of morbid stuffs. If I open a niche blog on dying, funeral, finding perfect cremation or burial or morbid stuffs like that, I think I will be pretty good in those topics. LOL, I am only joking. I hope this will be the end of my sabbath from earning money because I need to get back to make more money. Need to oil my gears and get on the grind of making money because the patient has passed on and will be cremated this Thursday.

Can we make money selling stock photographs?

I have signed up with a few websites selling photographs. I never care about uploading my photos because I doubt I can make any money from it. Moreover, it usually comes with a string of terms and I am too lazy to read it.

I also am not sure if I need to photoshop my photo to perfection or whether it is alright to upload the RAW file.

So far, a few individuals have asked me for some photos of exotic fruits and vegetables and they told me they will pay me but they never get back after I gave them my large resolution photos. So be it, I am not bothered to chase them for payment either.

But it seems a waste that I have such a good DSLR camera and the photo opportunities, yet, I never capitalise on them.

Therefore, can anyone tell me if you have successfully make money selling photographs? How do they pay? I am not interested in those few cents clicks because it sucks to give them my photos f.o.c. I am interested in those more exclusive programs and I do not mind working on my photographs. (yayaya, I will make sure the ocean water doesn’t spill into your laptop due to uneven horizon)

Anyone? Referral?
