i check my gmail frequently, so when gmail says my messages are a day old, i don't believe it.

i've just tried sending an email from my yahoo account to my gmail. when i opened my gmail, it said my message was received 15 hours ago. what gives? (i'm from the philippines)

who in your opinion is the most undesirable person ever to become a member of the philippine house of representatives? past or present

I heard somewhere that's about the time for the lunar eclipse in this region.

& what does UT mean

I registered with supersurf50 to 'Enjoy unlimited internet surfing for 1 day.' After a couple of hours downloading a movie, I received this 'Globe Advisory: Your account has reached 1GB in usage today. Subject to Globe Fair Use Policy, your internet service has been temporarily deactivated.'

If it's for 'fair use' then that's ok with me. But I'm just curious. Why do they call it 'unlimited'? Unlimited in terms of what?

"The decision of Sen. Benigno Simeon “Noynoy" Aquino III to go on a spiritual retreat could be a political gimmick, a Malacañang official claimed on Thursday."

Why would they say that?

The Philippines is of course part of Asia. Filipinos in their native country refer to themselves as Asian, the same as people from Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, China.

But based on some Qs here at YA, it seems that some people of Filipino descent based in the US are starting to call themselves Pacific Islander, which refers to groups of islands in the Oceania not part of the official 7 continents.

Nitpicking aside, what I'm really curious about is what would cause many Filipinos in the US to stop calling themselves Asian and start identifying with the people of Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti, Guam, New Guinea?

Is it just ignorance? or is there a racial issue here? or did somebody popularize the term?

my child's textbooks says kulay kahel.

is it orange or dalandan (green)?

isn't there the same amount of molecules inside it?

Can it be explained in simple terms for my simple mind? I try reading articles like "Subprime mortgage industry collapse" & I can't understand half the words!

I'm in Asia btw, but i keep hearing "u.s. recession" on the news.

the power supply of my 7-year-old desktop failed. so i took out the hard disk and used it as an external for my laptop. the problem is i cannot access some of my folders, i don't have the permissions. now i use the same username & even the same password for both computers but it still won't open up. even the admin acct doesn't work on it. is there any way to get around this?

My little kid wants me to teach her sing the Countin' sheep song. it's by paige morehead. i have the cd cover right here but i don't know what happened to the cd. Does anyone know how it goes? help!

there used to be a show on philippine tv about "human foxes," they looked like humans but had great strength & ate human liver or something. it was foreign, dubbed in tagalog.

anyone know where you can download free christmas songs in different languages?

i don't need to edit the photos (although xtra features are ok as long as its free :)

i just need to remember where i keep them, or to find the one i need among hundreds.

i've tried searching, but what i got are just free downloads, not free forever

Or are they the same?

Movie from India I think.

I saw the intro while i was waiting for the ferry boat. It starts with a boy saying he wants to be an imperial bodyguard or something, then theres a scene with a baby elephant on a truck & they are going through a crowd.

I don't know what language but there's english sub. I just saw a short part but now it won't get out of my head.

My 2 little kids jump around whenever they hear this song, i tried searching, but all i got was "curucucu paloma"

It goes:

Kuruk

Kukuruk

Kukuk

Crash Crash!

Anybody know where one can buy a copy of a national daily for a specific day (for example 1 January 2000)?
