Ei, guys! Just an update to the previous list of bank codes. James of Pinoymoneytalk has told me that the list is now updated (thanks again, bro!). So here is the official list of bank codes here in the Philippines, as released by PAYPAL (you may also access the site here):

This is good news to fellow Pinoy bloggers. You have read the title right, folks! We can now withdraw money from Paypal through any Philippine Banks! You can now link your paypal account to any local bank and the transaction would be cleared within 5-7 days. Yehey!!!

Opps, before you rush logging in to your paypal accounts, have the following info first: 9-digit bank codes and your bank account number. Plus you’ve got to make sure that your bank account name matches your paypal account (obviously!). Withdrawals of 7,000 pesos up are free, but you just have to pay 50pesos for withdrawals below that.

Wondering what’s your local bank code? Fellow blogger PINOYMONEYTALK is kind enough to list down the bank codes of Philippine banks available so far (Thanks, bro!). So here are the bank codes:

Sigh, I only have Banco De Oro account and they haven’t released a bank code yet! I tried using the swift code they provide, BNORPHMM, but paypal won’t accept this! Hopefully BDO will do something about this soon! But hey, at least this paypal development is great!!! For sure lots of Pinoy bloggers are happy!!!

I’ve mentioned before that my dream is to have my own online shop for my handmade swarovski pieces. However, seeing my friend’s site at multiplydotcom, Fab Trinkets Online Store, I thought of having a complete online fashion store!!! Of course, setting up my own online store is not a big feat - plus needs enough capital for the stocks (of course!).

So I hopped around some other online shops, many you can find at multiplydotcom, but what I noticed to these sites are the lack of proper shoppingcarts. (more…)

I am not a gambler coz I don’t think I am lucky enough in any form of gambling - casino, lottery, or even raffles! Though back in Melbourne, me and my friend Maan used to go to the Crown Casino and we played the slot machines just for fun but I limit my spending to only $20 per weekly visit. Plus I enjoy going there ‘coz they offer free drinks!hehe. (more…)

The color of green equates the environment. There’s a growing fuzz about eco-friendly products, carbon footprint, global warming, organic foods, 3R’s (Reduce-Reuse-Recycle). Even when I was still finishing my masters of environment degree, lots of people are taking the greener path and changing careers to something environmental.

GREEN is in… it’s all about GREEN. So how green are you? Kindly fill out this green survey. Thanks!
