The wait is over, folks. Gmail finally gets IMAP support! Many of us have waited a very long time for this feature. Personally I thought this would never happen, since this will take away users from the web-based Gmail interface, which is where Google makes money from adsense.

I wrote a response on Jeff McIntire’s blog which I would like to share with all of you:

I am proud to say that I live in the “greenest” Philippine city, Marikina City. We have very good waste collection and management system. Garbage cans can be seen everywhere, bicycle lanes, clean surroundings, etc thanks to our Mayor. Our city used to be ugly and polluted, but over a span of 5-15 years it evolved into what it is right now. This just goes to show that change CAN happen if good people and great leadership!

Thank goodness I was able to gas up (with Petron) the day before the hike. And all the while there I was trying to drive conservatively … I did 10.6 kms to a liter last week on my 1.6 Honda Civic and all they had to was increase oil prices.

Now I’m REALLY starting to consider getting a condo in Makati. Sheesh!

Friday October 19, 2007 (around 1:10PM, GMT+8) will forever be remembered as a day of mourning as Glorietta, one of the biggest malls in the heart of Makati City, the Philippines’ most progressive city, suffers one of the most terrorizing explosions in the country’s history.

This is probably the best footage out there, taken just right after the blast. The person who did this is admirably courageous. You can see his effort to keep trying to get as close as he could until the smoke got the better of him.

Finally got it! The online application really does work. I applied online and got an e-mail response telling me that my card will be available after 3 days at the Unionbank branch I specified. I went there after 8 days so I can’t really tell how fast they are but when I got there my card was waiting for me. Paid the 350 peso annual fee and that’s it!

So I can’t fly nor can I crawl up and swing between tall buildings, but I’ve always wanted to help save the world in every small way I could. This post is for our Mother Earth.

1. Leaders of corporations often wear sunglasses to underground — completely dark meeting rooms.

2. When the end of the world happens — there will gangs formed just to lure people in to rape and murder them.

3. A virus can cause the entire planet to become sand-ridden.

4. Pork and beans will be a delicacy when zombies take over the world.
— also someone will be able to decipher the difference of can goods just by shaking them. Make sure he/she is the person that is in charge of the food. Get on their good side too (because nobody wants lima beans)

5. I have a hard time trusting my life to someone that just killed thousands of birds with their mind.

6. No matter how long I go without brushing my teeth, they will always stay completely white.

7. If someone mentions to a large group of people that “we are moving to Alaska” everyone in the crowd will say in unison “hooray” or something along those lines — in unison though — has to be in unison.

8. When the end of the world happens, every car will simply disappear. The roads will be clear for driving and there will never be another car in sight for miles and miles and miles(even when you’re on the strip in Vegas).

9. Always have this plan when you need it. Have your buddy carlos flip a truck in the middle of thousands of zombies and blow it to crap. Then — Drive your vehicle straight through the gates. This is what will happen — The fence will magically form back behind you trapping the zombies outside leaving you plenty of time to figure out how to get into the hive beneath you.

10. When I create a huge corporation — The first thing I have to do is find a little girl to act as the buildings protector. The little girl will wear a nightgown and should have a british accent…

I was very Happy with Kyla’s singing of the Philippine National Anthem. She kept with the original tune and did not turn it into a diva moment.
