First Ice Cream Truck Experience
Posted on June 19, 2009 by Ching under Flickr, Life.
Brian and I caught the ice cream truck when it drove by his parents’ neighborhood the other day. I had never bought ice cream from an ice cream truck before so even though there was ice cream at the house, I wanted to buy some. It’s the same ice cream that you get at the store, but it was the whole act of buying ice cream from an ice cream truck that I was going for. I wanted to experience it for myself, mostly so I could say “Yes. I’ve bought ice cream from an ice cream truck.” Silly, I know.
(This one was actually an ice cream van.)
In the Philippines we didn’t have ice cream trucks. We had sorbeteros pushing their ice cream carts from neighborhood to neighborhood. We called the ice cream they sold “dirty ice cream” because it was sold outside in the streets, exposed to all the dust and germs that are in the air. Germs or no, I could never resist buying some “dirty ice cream” whenever mamang sorbetero came around when I was growing up.
I found a photo of a sorbetero on Flickr to show you guys.

Mr. Scott With Computer
Posted on June 18, 2009 by Ching under Movies.
This is my favorite scene from Star Trek: The Voyage Home. Mr. Scott is so funny. Another funny scene occurs right at the beginning of the movie.
CAPT. KIRK: How long to re-fit?
MR. SCOTT: Eight weeks. But you don’t have eight weeks, so I’ll do it for you in two.
CAPT. KIRK: Do you always multiply your repair estimates by a factor of four?
MR. SCOTT: How else to maintain my reputation as a miracle worker?
CAPT. KIRK: Your reputation is safe with me.
It cracked me up because it is so Brian. I think Brian took pointers from Mr. Scott. He does this sort of thing — overestimating completion time frames — at work all the time. Sorry I outed you, babe. =P

Possible Munny design by Brian. I don’t think he has decided yet what he will do, though. I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
