Chronicles of Narnia
Posted on May 20, 2006 by Ching under Life, Memes, Movies.
Â
Brian and I just finished watching The Chronicles of Narnia. It’s a great adventure movie! I had to keep from crying a couple of times. Anyway, if you haven’t seen it yet you really should.
Speaking of chronicles, testimonials from friends are a great way to chronicle life experiences. Sometimes I look back at the 28 years that I’ve lived this life and I am amazed at all the transformations I’ve undergone.Â
You all know I’ve participated in the online social networking thing since before it was cool. I think Friendster started it all, and I’ve been on their site since early 2003. I’ve pretty much neglected my Friendster page until recently when I’ve decided to rejuvenate it by adding pictures of our babies and trying to reconnect with old schoolmates.Â
Anyway, I thought I would share some of my old testimonials with you all so you’ll gain a better insight to my personality and how I’ve evolved over the years.
I’ve known Ching since 1st grade and she hasn’t changed much… height wise! hahaha… Though we haven’t seen each other for sooooo long we still keep in touch and all I can say is that she’s still the same person that she was back then… bubbly, energetic, thoughtful and gorgeous! =) [from Lea]

Surviving the GMAT
Posted on May 20, 2006 by Ching under School.
GMAT is finally done! I took it this morning and managed to score a 600 with very minimal preparation. Minimal as in, I didn’t study at all. I just took two practice tests. That’s all I did.
Eat your heart out, Chad! That’s for making worry and stress over a stupid test!
I guess I could say that if I had the luxury of time (which I didn’t because the application deadline for fall is June 1st) I would’ve studied for the test for the recommended four weeks — but who wants to do that? Even if I had the time, I don’t think I would’ve. So I think I was better of rushing to get the test scheduled and out of the way.
Anyway, the only thing left on my grad school admission to do list is to write my personal goals statement essay. You all know what that will be about — world domination, of course! Did you expect anything less?
Once I get my essay completed (shouldn’t be too tough as I am an accomplished marathon blogger with years of experience — ask Mr. Duncan), I just need to mail it, along with the most recent version of my resume, to the grad school and I am set.
Well, the hard part comes next. Looking for money to fund my grad school education. They say the GMAT is challenging, but looking for a benefactor who will pay your way — that’s definitely tougher!

On Graduating with Honors
Posted on May 17, 2006 by Ching under School.
Â
I had no idea. I wish I would’ve known. I could’ve bought an honors cord and everything. The lady at the bookstore tried to sell one to me when I bought my graduation regalia. I declined because I didn’t think I would be able to graduate with honors because of my CS 300 class which I was failing in. I didn’t realize that they were going to use grades as of fall.
So anyway, I don’t have a cord for pictures. What a shame! I could’ve even used the one I had for my high school graduation. It looks exactly identical to our old 4.0 honor cords.
Of course, it’s been ten years. Mom has probably tossed it. Incidentally, I left my graduation regalia at her house. I made her promise not to throw it away because I will need it again in a couple of years when I finish my masters. Besides, Jen may be able to use it too. So one of us will be able to use it.
Oh, the funny thing is Justin didn’t even know I made Cum Laude. When they asked those graduating Cum Laude to stand and I stood up he made at face at me as if to say, “What are you doing? You didn’t graduate with honors. You don’t even have an honor cord!”
I just stuck my tongue out at him. My name is on the list, dammit! So I’m standing up to get the proper recognition. LOL!

Dr. Molly and Mr. Monster

She looks vicious in this picture, doesn’t she? She is the most adorable little puppy but like a gremlin she has her terrible, vicious side. When she gets in a really playful mood she’ll come after your toes and feet like there is no tomorrow. It’s cute at first but she gets carried away sometimes and starts biting really hard. Then it’s not fun anymore.
We took her the vet today for her weekly weigh in and I’m happy to report that my pot-bellied princess is now 3 lbs 5 ounces. Last Friday she weighed only 2 lbs 13 ounces, so we are doing great.
She is still very finicky about food, though. It takes a lot of coaxing to get her to eat. Sometimes I just give up and leave her alone. A few hours later I will see the food dish empty. I can only hope that she’s the one eating it and the cats aren’t scarfing up her food.
Speaking of the cats, Oscar’s eye infection has finally healed but now Felix has it. Hopefully Jesus and Molly don’t get it. As for us, the vet said that it’s not contagious to humans so Brian and I are safe. For now, anyway. Who knows what other diseases our babies will contract.
