paypal does not support local dollar accounts tho, but it’s good enough, yes? :) here’s paypal’s official list of bank codes, you’ll need it each time you add a bank account to your paypal:

ganun na ba ang pilipino ngayon? alam ko mahirap ang buhay ngayon, pero hindi sapat na dahilan ito para umasa na lang sa mga gameshow at kung ano ano pang papremyo. ano ba naman yan, sistema natin tinuturuan ang tao magsugal.

nakakahiya, umabot pa yung news sa cnn. humingi raw tayo ng tulong sa pangulo naten, sabi ng media. naman yan! national crisis ba to na kailangan iparating sa pangulo? siguro nga no. dahil kung nagawan ng gobyerno ng paraan tong poverty issue naten, hindi magiging ganito ang karamihan ng masa. ano naman gagawin ng pangulo, give more fish?

merong nahihimatay dahil walang nakain ng ilang araw sakakaintay sa labas ng ULTRA at. ang tao ba, eh, nagiging tanga pag desperado na?
katangahan lahat ito. katangahan, kabobohan, kababawan.

mas mababaw pa to sa UAAP wars.

death is not the real tragedy here. it’s the fact that pinoys are dumbing down that’s tragic.

the price: a whopping $899, that’s about 50,344.00 philippine pesos. right now i think BSA is already hunting down companies using pirated softwares, and giving out a 1 million peso reward to those who can report violators. so tell me, how can you stop piracy when their original softwares would cost the average filipino an arm and a leg??? we’re not earning dollars, not even close to what it’s worth; in fact, i don’t think the philippine peso would ever revert to its former glory.

without piracy, i think computer literacy will not be available to the average filipino. they teach computer in school, you might say. PULEEEZ– i haven’t learned anything from my computer classes back then. teachers sucked, the lessons sucked, the computer sucked. even typing class sucked; i earned the proficiency through mirc. *heh*
