One thing I loved about Anita (the name I gave to my mac’s sentience) when I got her is the simplicity and easy access of an email client.

As students of the Ateneo De Manila University, the same educational institution that Rizal attended, as Philippine Youth and History 165: Jose Rizal and the emergence of the Philippine Nation, we have created blogs that would show what Rizal would have said if he had a blog. Here’s a list of links to some the blogs we’ve created.
