So, it’s not GBuy. It’s Google Checkout.
And like Paypal, it’s not available in the Philippines. At least, not yet. For now it’s only for US residents. Aray. I hope it will accept residents of other countries soon.
Google Checkout lets users “buy from stores with a single Google login -– no more entering the same info each time you buy, and no more having to remember different usernames and passwords for each store.”

Google is supposed to be launched today. It’s early morning in the States, so netizens from our side of the world will have to wait for a few more hours before we hear some news about it. Here’s the latest about it from the Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, why don’t you go out first and watch Superman Returns? Great movie, sobra.
Napapakanta ako, sa tono ng Narda ng Kamikaze:
Mai-impeach kaya
Sa dami ng ‘yong ginagawa
Kung naayos mo na’ng lahat
May pag asa bang malaglag ka…
Awit na nananawagan

Suportado ng mga taga-Marinduque ang paglaban ng mga Bicolano laban sa muling pagbubukas ng La Fayette sa Bicol. Narito ang pahayag ng Marinduque Council for Environmental Concerns:

The series of mining disasters (heavy metal contamination in Calancan Bay since 1975, collapse of Maguilaguila Siltation Dam in 1993, and the infamous Boac River Environmental Disaster of 1996) which we experienced in Marinduque due to the irresponsible operation of Placer Dome, Inc (now Barrick, Inc.) and Marcopper Mining Corporation and the inefficiency of the government’s environment agencies are coming back to us as nightmares when we heard of the cyanide spill in Rapu-rapu.

TXTPower Advisory: Not for the pikon and pasista. Only for freedom-loving Pinoys who believe that for the truth and for the good of the country, the (kontra)bida in this video should resign or be ousted.

Superman Returns will be shown in the US and other countries, including the Philippines, on June 28, 2006. Fans of the new Captain Barbell series that looks like a local version of Superman must be waiting for this day when they could see the original man of steel.
But there’s another big thing we should watch out for on June 28, 2006. Garett Rogers of ZDNet wrote that Google’s GBuy “will be hitting the [N]et on June 28th.” Finally, the most-awaited launch of GBuy is coming. Let’s hope Google would allow us to use their new service, so we would no longer need to beg for a Paypal Philippines service.
