I was checking my Hotmail Account yesterday when I noticed this stiking green text somewhere just below the Hotmail Logo saying: “Try the Hotmail Beta.”

Since I was looking for someone at the Microsoft Philippines Community Forums since last week who actually had tried and tested the “Kahuna” Hotmail Beta, I thought this is my chance to test drive it personally.

Screenshots of my Hotmail account (in Beta interface) can be viewed here, here, and here.

What’s kewl with it: Right-click and Drag & Drop!

My Top 10 Reasons Why There is an Early Morning Traffic at the Bicutan Interchange:

10. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer (duh?!) at the corner of SM Bicutan and West Service Road;
9. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer at the corner of the Bicutan Bridge and West Service Road;
8. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer at the corner of the road leading off the bridge to SLEX (south bound);
7. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer at the corner of the road leading off the bridge to SLEX (north bound);
6. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer sipping his coffee in the middle of the road;
5. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer plying around the market vendors;
4. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer halting traffic to give way to those vehicles that are entering the SLEX;
3. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer sleeping at their outpost (north bound);
2. There is no PNCC Traffic Enforcer in sight — on those PNCC guards, who are either high on something, and/or doesn’t know what they are doing (signalling GO to all traffic!);
1. There is a PNCC Traffic Enforcer on duty!!

What do they all (the 10 items) have in common? Hey, PNCC!! Wake up!!

I envy my officemates who have MP3 ringtones (especially those who are using Nokia and Sony Ericsson units). But wait, my Motorola phone supports MP3 ringtones, I just need the right tone to be fed via the cable that I had purchased two months ago.

Yesteday, I started listening to the songs of the Juana Band, a budding local band that has a potential in conquering the Philippine music scene. Was able to convert one of their songs, Pansinin Mo as MP3, but it’s damn big!

A search thru friendly Google for a Free MP3 Editing software revealed WavePad (http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad), which is quite good!

To download a sample of the MP3 file that I had edited, and now is my ringtone, click here.

(I hope that PARI will not sue me for this one. It’s not the full song that I had ripped into MP3 naman e.)

Did you know that in a Windows machine, you can’t actually create or name a folder or a file as “con”? Try it!

If Windows prevents CON from being created, why is the government pushing for CON-CON? Just asking.

This morning, I went to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to get a Philippine Passport. Without any escort to assist me, I braved the throng of people towards the DFA basketball courts. I came to the agency ready and with complete documentary requirements: I had filled-up the Application Form, which I downloaded from their site, at home and pasted three (03) Passport Sized ID pictures — as indicated in the form, itself.

Some government personnel are really stupid. This guy in barong, while we are at the waiting (holding area) for our (me and the others applying for a passport) documents to be processed, keeps on calling the attention of people by making a “sutsot”. Can’t they be taught of properly addressing people? Especially the one’s who are paying for their salaries?

Finally, my name was called! Without any instructions given, I asked where will I go now? He just gave me a blank stare. Wow! What a civil servant?!

Just this afternoon, in the aftermath of several protests at the Mendiola the following two (02) days ago, the Executive Secretary, himself, compared the Philippine Police to dogs (don’t make them angry if you don’t want to be bitten). Hehehe. What a nice analogy — indeed true! If you had seen on the television on how the PNP dispersed the rallyist, they are worst than dogs — bitches to be particular.
