Yeehaa!! Finally Friday is here. *so excited* But on a second thought, I don’t know what am I excited about actually. Not like I’ll have a date on tomorrow night something like that.
Anyway, I just notice that it is another Friday the 13th today.
Oh, My bro just sms me. Our dearest Governor is at his school already, to launch the so called education expo. He wants to see him so much but too bad, the studying process still continue like usual cause the Governor wants to check the classes. wtf. I thought they will have to welcome the Governor and claps hands, the louder the better. But no, only a few I think.
I remember when Malaysia PM came to the college (of where I studied, now uni status), our class was dismissed earlier. Or I think the class was canceled, I forget which one it is.
Then, we were asked to go to this particular place, waited for him and clapped hands when he came. Okay, enough of the past story.
Now come back to the present. I still need to do research, write, design, and optimize. *repeat the circle* But no worry, I still can handle it for now although I really want to go for conversion rate optimization service and let them do the work. But, I cannot be so lazy.
Happy Friday! Hope you have a good one.
Sigh.
I just did a stupid mistake this morning. And that is… I accidentally upgrade my Paypal account from personal type to premier type! Arghhh~!!! *continue screaming until no voice* This is a big deal for me, cause I’ve been so comfortable and happily accepting payment with my personal account, I don’t sell toys or clothes on ebay too., there is no reason to upgrade to the stupid premier account.
Flash back, I received $XX payment via credit/debit card. There was 2 buttons; accept and upgrade or something like that. I was too lazy to decline and asked the buyer to send to other account (for some yadayada reason), so I *somewhat* click the button that brought me to this page and congrats me for successfully upgrading my account. Wth?!? That’s when my eye balls almost popped out.
How I wish that Ctrl+Z could work in this case. But never mind, I remember there is a way to downgrade the account by contacting the customer service. It will resolved in 2-3 days time. I gotta be careful next time cause I read that, we are allowed to downgrade it for 1 time only. The next time I accidentally upgrade my account, it will be premier type for… forever.
Lesson learn. Never ever deal with payment or work related stuff when you just woke up.
Update (March 13th):
My account is officially back to personal type! Woohoo! Many thanks to the customer service of Paypal for working so fast.
If you want to downgrade, here’s how:
1. Login to Paypal account, look for “Contact Us” at the footer there.
2. It will open in a new page, click “Contact Customer Service”.
3. Choose “My Account” under “1 – Choose a Topic”
4. Choose “Changing/Updating Account Information” under “2 – Choose a Subtopic”
5. Fill this “downgrade my account from Premier to Personal” under “3 – Summarize your question in one sentence.”
6. Follow the next step, that’s it.
Reason #87 (I just make up the number) of why freelance doesn’t rock at all: When your computer breaks down or so, you have to repair and pay for the fee yourself.
If you are working with ‘The Man’, nothing to worry about. Whether your working PC breaks down or needs computer memory upgrade, just call the repair center or programmer in the office and it will be settled.
Well, my PC still works well although it experienced a little bit problem (turn on itself) earlier this year, but it was resolved by itself. Weird. Recently I am facing a bit of lagging problem. I was designing, for some reason I needed to open both AI and Photoshop, and editing the Thesis theme, so I had HTML kit open (the code looks messy in notepad) along with localhost. And it worked pretty slow. Bleh.
I would want to upgrade, but.. let’s see how it goes first.
It is public holiday and here I am, spending my time on keyword researching, writing, and design a custom illustration for header. Keyword researching is fun but also brings headache at the same time. For example, I know there could be a promising market in Christian books field (great Approx Avg Search Volume with great Estimated Avg. CPC), I can’t go for that topic as I am extremely clueless about Christian etc. Then there is topic that I like but the pay rate is so low. -__-”

Bleh. So not creative way to spend holiday but I can’t find any better way. Haihz.. But never mind, keep working first cause I’ll be taking a few days off on mid April or so.
After so much thought, I declared to have March as a ‘planting and growing seed’ month. Instead of just thinking and reading, it is time to start something else, like auto parts franchises, and make an action. You know, no more later-la excuse.
I have a few seeds on my hand along with new pots and soil. What I need to do is to plant the seeds, watering them everyday, and taking care of them as if they are my everything. And, I’ll see the result on the next few months. Anyway, seed here is just an analogy and it doesn’t mean I am going to plant a real seed and tree, although I do support Go Green activity.
Back to my mission, erm.. I think there is nothing else to write now. Better take action ASAP.
Happy weekend, people~!
