Connecting with Batchmates
Posted on November 11, 2003 by Ching under Life, School.
Yes, Pia. I’m a nerd! But, hey! I’m still blogging! Ha! So there!
Kidding aside, I was perusing her website in between classes a few weeks ago. But since she hadn’t blogged in forever, there was nothing for me to read so I started browsing the photo albums. She has so many that you really can’t go through them in one sitting. It’s my fault. She’ll tell you that too. I got her hooked on the whole vanity site, photo galleries galore thing. Yikes! I’ve created a monster! But I digress, what I’m getting at is that I came across this one particular photo album with old pictures of us from grade school. Talk about nostalgia!
The most amazing part is that, just the other day, I got an invitation to join SFACS BATCH ’94 on Yahoo! Groups. That was perfect timing. Mhyke put the whole thing together. He did a great job too! I mean, he had people on there that I hadn’t seen or heard from in years! Then I run into Elmer Dimayuga on Friendster so I tell him about the group on Yahoo! I’m hoping that the rest of our batchmates catch wind of it! It’ll be so cool to get together again, even if only on the web.
So let this blog posting be a public service announcement for our missing batchmates. If you or anyone you know belongs to this group, you know where to send them.
[update]
I found something to make joining a little easier! Yay! So sali na kayo!

Good Grades
Posted on November 9, 2003 by Ching under School.
Speaking of complacent, wouldn’t you be too if you had these grades?
I have a couple of professors that don’t post grades on Blackboard. I think everyone should use it. It was around when I was going to school several years ago but hardly anyone used it then. Now there are more teachers using it but I think that the rest of them should follow suit.

Not Doing Homework
Posted on November 9, 2003 by Ching under Movies, School.
Someone should really be doing homework right now. I think because I know I’ve got As in all of my classes I’ve become complacent. I should really keep up the effort because if my grades could still slip. The end of the semester is not quite upon us after all.
By the way, The Matrix: Revolution was okay. We went to see it with Ashley and Andy last night. Erin and Jason were there too. I wish that I would’ve asked them but I asked Ashley and she said no one else wanted to go. Incidentally, Jason proposed to Erin last weekend. That was really exciting!
I was kind of disappointed with the movie. I don’t know what I was expecting and why I wasn’t expecting peace but I didn’t like that it ended in a truce. I wish that the humans would’ve won or even if the machines won the war and decimated that humans that would be fine too. That’s how it ended the previous times because, remember, there have been other “ones” before Neo. I don’t like this peace thing.
The effects were really good though. The robots were good. I liked the rain-drop-face-punch, that was good. The ending was anti-climactic but overall, I guess the movie was pretty good.

School Update
Posted on September 24, 2003 by Ching under School.
This semester has really been a blast. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed going to school — except for the waking up at the butt-crack of dawn part. Other than the early hours, I have no complaints. I am kicking ass and so far my prediction will be all As this semester. Hooray for me!
Brian has been on vacation all of this week and, the wonderful husband that he is, he took me to school and hung out with me on campus yesterday. I have Accounting from 8:00 AM to 9:15 AM and I’ve got this long break until my next class which is Macroeconomics at 11:00 AM (for those of you who don’t know my history with the university, I went from Computer Science to Computer Engineering back to Computer Science only to end up as a Business major — pretty sad but that’s life). During my break we went and ate breakfast at Copperfields and then shot some pool in the basement. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed having him here. I wish that it would have been warmer so we could have taken some photos. Perhaps next time.
By the way, since Brian has been home (with him being on vacation and all) I’ve been leaving the webcam on 24/7. Has anyone seen anything interesting lately?

Back-to-School Thoughts
Posted on August 30, 2003 by Ching under School, Toys.
The first week and a half of school has gone really well. I can’t believe I was so apprehensive. Brian was completely right. I truly had nothing to fear. Besides, I think I blend in pretty well. I doubt anyone can tell that I’m a non-traditional (read: returning adult) student.
Other great news: we found my dream printer, the Canon i950 for almost $50 less at Sam’s Club and it even came with a free USB cable (not that I needed one, but free stuff is always good) and Dazzle 6-1 card reader (not that I need it). The free stuff was just an added bonus. It was the price that really grabbed my attention. What an awesome deal!
