Topeka Trip
Posted on October 19, 2003 by Ching under Life.
Has it really been ten days since my last blog post? It feels like time is flying by. I’m supposed to be writing a term paper that is due on the 24th but I’m experiencing writer’s block to the extreme. Term paper on hold, what better way to procrastinate than by blogging? Actually, my procrastination method of choice yesterday was online shopping but after having spent almost a grand I thought I’d better find another way to procrastinate before Brian kills me. This writer’s block thing sucks! I better find inspiration quick or else I’m dead.
Speaking of dead and killing, I saw this killer movie last night. Brian (who will be glad to know he isn’t the only one enamoured by Gogo) took me to dinner and a movie. Our movie of choice? Kill Bill Vol. 1, of course. Did you expect us to see anything else? The movie was so Mortal Kombat gory that all of the blood and gore seemed comical. I’d never thought I’d find so much death and dismemberment fun and entertaining. This is going on the “movies to own” list.
Anyway, for more goodies visit the A Band Apart website. I’ve got other business to attend to — that is, sharing some pictures that are getting stale from storage. Enjoy!
This would be Brian on the way to Topeka. We were driving there for the company bowling championships.
Brian at the Westridge Mall food court. He was waiting for me to come out of the restrooms. It wasn’t a short wait either.
This would be me, feeling much better after pooping. I tried to talk Brian into renting a room so I can unload in peace but he said that we would have to pay for the entire night/day even if we were just staying for a few hours (yes, pooping can take hours for me sometimes). I was like, “Whatever happened to them hooker rates?” I guess nice hotels/motels don’t have hooker rates. Brian was like, “What are you trying to do? Get me arrested?”
Not really. I just want to poop.
Brian goes, “I can just see myself trying to explain it to the police officer: SHE’S MY WIFE, I SWEAR!” A night in jail would make for a truly eventful trip. Not that the trip wasn’t evenful enough.
Luckily we found the mall and malls have restrooms. So there I was in the restroom at ten in the morning trying to unload, except that everyone and their freaking dog was in there with me. You’d think that there would be more peace and quiet as early as it was. But no. Of course, not. There was so much racket I couldn’t concentrate. It think it was partly my subconscious too. I hate having other people hear the plop sounds of my turd as it hits toilet water.
Much to my relief they finally left. But then I couldn’t complete my task because I was too warm (I always have to poop naked, don’t ask why). So I had to take my socks and pants off (I kept my shirt on, thank you). I come out feeling so much better a half an hour later.
Word to the wise: Do not grab breakfast at QuikTrip. The gas is good, but the food is not. Trust me on this one. I have the most resilient stomach ever. Brian can attest to this. If my stomach cannot hold it, yours won’t either.
Here are more serious pictures.
Saving the best for last..
Sunset pictures taken during the drive home.
Are you ready for some more? I’ve got so many pictures to share and they’ve just been collecting dust. This next set were pics I took on the way home from Bailamos at Wichita State. A WU-cop pulled Brian over because of the green lights on his windshield washer squirter thingies.
I would’ve much rather not been pulled over but at least he was cordial about it. And he didn’t mind having his picture taken either. So that was nice.
Here are some pics of us at Carrabba’s.
I know I said we were boycotting Carrabba’s but they have good food. What can you do?
And then these are from last night at Sumo.
Dinner and a movie. It felt like we were dating again. Dinner was great, albeit expensive. And the movie was great. Plus we were both looking very stylish with our fashionable clothes and Brian’s new truck. If people thought we were absolutely perfect before, they’re going to be thinking it even more now. Just don’t let them see the condition that our house is in. Because we are truly very ghetto.
Speaking of Brian’s new truck. I’ve got some pictures of it, too. It’s a 2002 Rodeo Sport. I didn’t even know such a thing existed. It’s the first of its kind I’ve ever seen.
The last picture was taken last week when it was sunny and somewhat warm. We rode it top-down. I like his new car a lot. It suits him well.
The last set of pictures are pictures that were taken by Brian to profess his undying love for me. You’ll see what I mean when you see them.

Canon Powershot SD10
Posted on October 7, 2003 by Ching under Wishlist.
Okay, I’ve got some pictures but they will have to wait. Kind of busy with school right now, particularly with my Saturday classes. Normal, semi-regular blogging will resume in November. In the meantime, I’ve got something new to share on the “want” list.
It’s the new Canon SD10 ultra-compact set to be released on Thursday. You can preorder on Amazon now but if you’re preordering one for yourself, please remember to order two (one for you and one for me, heh). Seriously, though.. It kicks ass. I want it as a supplement to my clunky but bad-ass G3. Forget the Nikon SQ! LOL!
[ I had some pictures here but dpreview doesn’t allow hot-linking so they are off now. Just go to the link above to look at the pics of the SD10. Thanks! ]
It comes in four so very stylish colors and you can even get a waterproof case! Have you ever seen anything cooler?! I’m orgasmic just looking at pictures of it on the internet. Can you imagine what I would if I actually had it? I would explode!
P.S. It also happens to be $100 less than the Nikon SQ that I initially wanted. Good thing I haven’t bought it yet. It just goes to show that it really does pay to wait.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER!
Here are some of the pictures that I promised from our road trip to Topeka with Brian’s parents a couple of weeks ago. There are over sixty pictures total so I’m not posting them all here. Just some highlights for you to view. The rest are posted in Ofoto. Just email me if you want to see the rest. I don’t bore all the unsuspecting visitors out there.
Sorry about the delay! =)

Halloween Photos
Posted on October 4, 2003 by Ching under Family, Life.
Are you ready for some Halloween pictures? Here they are! Enjoy!
The first set of pictures were taken a week before Halloween. It was Brian’s Halloween costume rehearsal.
See the facial hair? We took care of that.
He looks good as a woman, huh?
Finally, it’s Halloween! This is Brian without his wig and before putting makeup on.
More pictures of Brian…
This is me as a punk rocker..
A picture of my mother-in-law in her costume..
Some folks at work..
Lastly, pictures taken at Tita Rose’s house..
People were doing team competition on Magic Sing. Us Filipino folks take our karaoke seriously! They had team and A and team B. I was the fifth member of team B and when it was time for Brian and I to leave I had to make sure that I found someone to replace me. Thankfully, Tita Rose was available for karaoke.
The funniest part is that Tito Alan slept through all of the racket! He must have been really, really tired that day!

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?
Up for more interesting stuff? Follow this link… Â
