2go dropped by to pick up the passport

Posted on February 15th, 2006 in Unsorted by Abby

Cool! 2go by aboitiz dropped by our house today to pick up our passports. It’s very important to note that you have all the requirements ready at hand. I forgot about photocopying the 1-4 pages and latest BID departure/arrival pages of our passports. Good thing, my brother in law has hp all in one printer that has a copier.
So, I signed up the form given to us, place my thumbmarks and gave him the money (2600 for two passports). Viola! We’re told to wait for one week and our renewed passport will be delivered to us. Isn’t that nice?

selling goods via ebay.ph

Posted on February 15th, 2006 in Unsorted by Abby

ebay.ph has been around for quite some time. I’ve heard that it is very successful in other countries. But, I have no idea how it fared locally.
Last December, I bought a book entitled “The Perfect Store by Adam Cohen”. The book tells us about ebay started, its birth pain experiences and lots more. AFter reading, I am so inspired to try ebay.
As I’ve shared earlier my sis-in-law and her husband are the ones into ebay thingy, they’ve been selling goods for 4-5 months only. But, they have over a hundred transactions already. All of these, gave them a positive feedback. (ebay has a feedback system - the more positive feedback you got from buyers/sellers the more credible you are) They told me that they go to Cubao or Quiapo to purchase some goods which they think would sell at ebay. My sis-in-law is into pocketbooks, while her husband is into LPs, CDs and Collectibles.
So, before starting out with ebay I was thinking what stuff to sell online. Then, it came to me why not start disposing the computer books. And so, I started taking pictures of the books and putting them at ebay. My first week was so bad, no one even bidded for the books. (Maybe I’m trying to sell the books high? hehehe) Second week, I adjusted the price to a really bargain price! Then, bidding started coming. Payments made through bank transfer. Goods are either picked up or shipped via courier. See, ebay.ph is cool!

Paid ABS CBN Interactive’s Subscription via G-Cash

Posted on February 14th, 2006 in Unsorted by Abby

Eager to try out G-Cash, I wonder where I can pay a transaction using G-Cash.
Then, I remember my online subscription to ABS-CBN Interactive just expired. ABS-CBN Interactive allows me to watch ABS-CBN shows that I missed. Since, I’m out most of the time. I often missed my soap operas, news and other fave shows.
Okay, so I logged on to my account. Clicked the “renew my subscription”. And, select that I be paying in G-Cash for a month subscription worth P282.15. Then, the screen prompt me to enter my mobile number. Then the screen, shows a progress bar waiting for response from Globe Server. Meanwhile, I received a text message that says

“ABS CBN INTERACTIVE requests to deduct 282.15 of G-Cash from your wallet. Reply to tis message with your MPIN if you want to confirm. No response after 5 mins cancels the transaction. Please note that your MPIN will validate the txn but it will not be disclosed to any party. P1.00/txn.”

On my screen, the progress bar goes back and forth still waiting for a response from Globe. So, I texted back to the message with my MPIN code. After a while, I got this message

“You have sent 285.15 of G-Cash to ABS CBN INTERACTIVE, INC on 02/13/06 04:00AM You new balance is 264.85. Ref No. xxxxx”

At the same time, my screen refeshes and displayed a confirmation page. That my payment was successful! Wow! That was so cool! ;) And so, I just renewed by subscription using G-Cash!
