Mom has the Coolest Shoes
Posted on August 2, 2009 by Ching under Moblog.
I think my mom owns more shoes than Imelda Marcos at the peak of her reign as First Lady. Every time I see my mom, she has a different pair of shoes on. They always look brand new and, since I haven’t seen them before, I can help but ask, “Where did you get your new shoes?” To which she always replies, “Oh. I just found them in my stash of old stuff.”
She doesn’t seem to wear the same shoes twice so I’m thinking she must have an infinite stash. I know Jenni has her eyes set on mom’s jewelry. I’m thinking that perhaps I’ll ask mom to bequeath her shoes to me so that I can put them on display in a type of shoe museum. The exhibit will be called, “My Mom has the Coolest Shoes” or something like that. LOL.

Outsourced
Posted on August 1, 2009 by Ching under Movies.
I watched Outsourced (2006) last night. It was actually pretty good. Not as good as Slumdog Millionaire (2008), but it was quite entertaining. [I guess you can’t really compare because the two movies belong in different genres. They’re both set in India, though. LOL.]
Brian had no interest in watching it at all, so I ended up watching it by myself. I think I found it interesting because I could relate, having worked in call centers for 15 years. It’s one of those funny movies that’s not stupid-funny or hilarious-funny. It actually makes you think. LOL. Maybe it’s just a funny-to-me kind of film.
Whatever the case, I appreciated learning a bit about the culture of India and how important it is to consider cultural differences when communicating and building relationships. I also liked its take on globalization and outsourcing. Outsourced is pretty good. Definitely worth checking out.

Old Town was Particularly Festive Last Night
Posted on August 1, 2009 by Ching under Life.
Old Town was bursting with life last night, as the city celebrated Wichita’s fourth All-America City (AAC) honor (1961, 1993, 1999, 2009). Brian and I just happened to be at Hana Cafe having dinner after work. We didn’t know about the AAC party because we’d both been really busy with work.
We checked out the festivities after leaving Hana. It worked out great because Hiland Dairy was giving out free ice cream. LOL. We didn’t get any free movie passes, though.

Carmen’s New Car
Posted on July 29, 2009 by Ching under Moblog.
I got to ride in Carmen’s new car today. It seats seven people comfortably and has all the bells and whistles. I think my favorite feature is the backup camera display on the rear view mirror. Fancy!
