Daily Update (8)

What a time for the lights to come back! It's New Year! It's 2012!! Wishing you a happy and prosperous year ahead...
I can't say the same to me, since I don't see any good happening for myself or my marriage.. I am alone at home, awake at midnight and updating this blog.. There's nothing else to do.. I don't have any friends to hangout with on New Year's Day and celebrate.. And there's nothing really to celebrate about.. The only good thing I was able to do was talk to my wife on the phone and wish her.. But even our conversation had to be short, since she was working.. A New Year's Day without your loved one can't really be a happy one..

Now, about my blog and the campaign.. Traffic to my posts seems to be picking up everyday.. I get at least 40 to 50 hits on an average, daily.. But my PayPal account doesn't seem to move at all..  So, that's the update!

Ok.. So it's a new year.. 2012.. Most people probably have the Mayan calender and their predictions in mind! Don't you? I had thought about that too! But do you believe that the world is gonna end on December this year? I don't! I just think that the Mayans probably ran out of time before they could make a calender for the rest of time.. I mean the dates after 12 December 2012.. Even if the world was to end on the date they predicted, there isn't anything you and I could do.. So why even bother right?

So, what is your new year's resolution? Some people might want to buy a new car, a new house, find a new job, get married, or for couple's to have a new baby! These are all possible... But well, what is my new year's resolution?? My resolution is to get a million dollars in the next 16 days and be back with my wife and kid!
Am I crazy? Yes, definitely!! But what the heck! I can try... Some millionaire in New York gave away a million to a guy who didn't need it! May be there is someone who will find it useful to give me a million too! And I am not gonna run away with the money... Just need it to start my own restaurant in Singapore.. But I wouldn't mind getting it as a donation! :) So.. Is anyone there in this world who would love the publicity??

Daily Update ( 6 & 7 )

Sorry... I was not able to post an update yesterday because of the power cuts.. Plus, my internet modem had some weird problems and stopped working!
So, after today's scheduled power cut, the lights just came back.. And after I logged into my Blogger account, I was really surprised to see that my blog had had 43 hits yesterday! YAY!! That's new for me...  BUT! Still not a single dollar in my PayPal account though.. Someone did try to help by clicking the ads! Thank you to who ever that was...
Ok now.. Past few days, I have been checking and searching on Google, and I found out that there have been many attempts like mine on the internet..( That really sucks! ) If there have been many people who tried to do the same thing, then I guess I am going fail.. Because, if every single day, there is a new guy trying to raise a million on the internet, people will certainly get tired of it.. Most wouldn't even bother to read their story.. And I guess that is what people might think about my blog too..
Anyways, I will carry on.. Even if I don't get the money, people might still like to read my story! ;)

So.. My son is really enjoying the toy rifle that my mother-in-law bought for him a few days back.. When I am talking to my wife on the phone, he pretends to shoot his mom and asks her to pretend she is dying...      ( Heheh.. Clever eh? ) He is certainly growing up fast, and I regret not being able to be with him.. Here's a picture of him with his macho toy!

My boy with his Macho Toy!

Now isn't that cool?
He's 3 and a half years old now.. I really wish I was the one who had bought it for him.. He would proudly be telling everyone about it..
 
Well, that's not to be...  But may be someday, I will have a million dollars and I would buy him every single thing that he wants!

Daily Update (5)

Just crying all by myself.. I am running out of time... 16th January, 2012 is my deadline.. If I don't have something by then, I am going to lose my family, and probably my life as well.. My wife asks me every single day if I have found a job.. And everyday, I have to give her the same hopeless answer... No....
Today, I am suddenly feeling like I won't make it.. 19 days.. That's all I have.. I think I am going to give up.. I can't bear the pain every passing day brings.. Time is ticking away and nothing seems to be in my favor.. The way I see it now, on the 16th of January, my wife is going to proceed with the Divorce and I will probably kill myself.. Life this useless is not worth living..
I feel alone, lost and helpless.. I kiss my wife and son's picture every night before I go to sleep.. Tears roll down automatically, and it takes a lot of crying before I finally fall asleep.. Well, who would want to live such a life?
Pathetic as it is, I feel ashamed to even step outside my house..
Well, this was supposed to be a daily update about my campaign.. I apologize.. But there isn't anything to update about.. Yes, you guessed it right! My PayPal account is still zero... Not a single person has felt my situation is worth their single dollar! It's okay...

Anyways.. I will leave this update with a video that I like a lot.. The lyrics of the song relates to my life and I hope it touches your heart too.. It's called "The Hardest Thing" and it's done by Tyler Ward.... Peace..

Daily Update (3 & 4)

I am having to post the update for yesterday together with today's, since the area where I live did not have electricity for 44 hours! That's right! KUDOS Nepal! Even while I am writing this post, I am not too sure when the power is gonna get cut next!
Anyways, I checked my PayPal account, and it's still zero.. (sighing)  Maybe you think this guy is crazy, trying to raise a million dollars..  Or you  probably think why would I still be doing this...It's because I need it that much! I have not given up on anything yet and I am certainly not giving up the hope that my luck is gonna change soon.. Maybe I won't get any money, but I might just land a job and get to see my family again.. Until then, I will keep this blog alive.. Who knows what will happen right??
By the way, I keep sending my resume everyday and keep applying for jobs.. But I have not received a single reply till yet from any company...
I got to speak to my wife last night and today as well.. Yesterday, she was telling me that my son wants to get a big toy rifle! (haha, my son is cool..) I thought I would buy it for him once I have some cash.. But when I called my wife today, my son was already playing with a big rifle that my mother-in-law had bought for him! Well, what can I say...
So, life is still moving at a very slow pace.. By the way, there is this band called " Boyce Avenue " I am subscribed to on Youtube.com, and they are like "AWESOME".. They just recently released an original song called "Find Me" and I was surprised to see the official music video so soon.. I love it and I think that you would enjoy it too..
By the way, don't forget to press the DONATE button there -->>
Or you could even help me by clicking a few Advertisements! :)
Enjoy the video!!

Daily Update (2)

A bit late with my second daily update as I was talking to my wife on Skype. The internet connection was ridiculous, as expected, but we still managed to get our words across.. Saw my son and wife's face for the first time in 2 months..
It's the second day, since I started this blog campaign to raise a million dollars. I have had 28 visits to the page, but still not a single dollar in my Paypal.. It's okay.. May be people think it's really not that important to help out a stranger.. Or may be they think that a single dollar from them won't make a difference.. Well, whatever it is, my account is still zero.. Well, zero is quite a boring number.. And not to make you guys bored out on my blog, let me share some interesting stuff about me and my life..
I am very much into music.. I sing a bit and post on Youtube too.. Although I am not that good and don't have fancy equipments and instruments, I make videos for my wife.. If you are a regular on Youtube.com, like most people, you can check me out! http://www.youtube.com/user/olazman
I used like photography a lot.. Was very fond of my first DSLR, which was a Canon EOS 500D.. But I had to give up that hobby since I had to sell off my camera when my son fell sick and my wife didn't have enough for his medical bills.. Let me share some pictures I took back then..

My Boy!

 Here's my boy, about 2 years back, at the Singapore Botanical Gardens, imitating his Daddy!
God! I miss him so much....

He doesn't like the flavor!

The love of my life! My wifey and my son....

Daily Update (1)

Good Morning, Good Day or Good Evening, wherever you are, according to your time zones... It's been like 12 or 13 hours since I started this blogging campaign to raise a million dollars. But I have to make my daily update very early since the electricity in Nepal goes away more often than it stays!
Ok then. In these 12 to 13 hours, I have not yet made a single dollar! Hahah! It's okay. Things can turn around pretty quickly and I am very optimistic that it will.
Well, there's nothing much there is to write about my day today. I tried calling my wife in Singapore, but she was busy with something and the mobile connection wasn't that good. After which I started searching for stupid ways of committing suicide on Google! (It was just a stupid idea that my brain comes up with once in a while)
After making some really stupid searches that I cant remember, I came across an article on Forbes.com about a New Yorker who had also successfully asked for a million dollars via the internet! So, basically I am not the only crazy one here. And if that guy can, then maybe I can too!!
Here's a link to that article if you don't believe me!
