Clash of the Titans
Posted on April 5, 2010 by Ching under Movies.
Brian and I watched both the new Clash of the Titans and the original Clash of the Titans this weekend. I wish we could have watched the new movie on 3D, though. Brian wanted to see it in the balcony.
Found out from Chad that the original Clash of the Titans is available on Netflix Watch Instantly, so Brian and I watched it before Easter supper on Sunday. It was good, but I think the new one is way better. I like how the new one deviates from both the legends and also from the original movie. The changes made for a much more interesting and action-packed movie. Definitely worth checking out.

Busy Easter Weekend
Posted on April 4, 2010 by Ching under Family.
Brian and I had a busy weekend, but we managed to squeeze an hour of working out at gym. They had “Breakfast with the Easter Bunny” at the Andover YMCA branch yesterday. (The Y was closed today for the holiday.)
After stopping by Target and a quick lunch, Brian and I were off to see Clash of the Titans (great movie, by the way — better than the original, I think). Then it was off to Cory and April’s for games and kabobs, which were delicious by the way. Kudos to Cory for not burning them. =P
The evening consisted of burning stuff in the backyard, poker, Apples to Apples and video games. It was 1 AM before we knew it.
This morning I woke up with the back pain I was suffering from the day before (only worse). Brian helped me stretch and rubbed the knot out, which made me feel better.
We left the house a little early and stopped by Ultimate Electronics to see if they have Brian’s TV (the Samsung one that he’s been drooling over for the last two weeks now). It’s there, but it’s still $2600. We’re going to have to a wait a little while. At least until the price goes down some more. They say the best time to buy a TV is May or June. I guess we’ll see how much the price drops at that point. I told Brian we can always stop in at Ultimate Electronics to visit his TV whenever he feels like it. LOL.
Had a great Easter supper today at Brian’s parents’ house. Of course, it involved more Apples to Apples (our new favorite game). Brian’s mom and grandparents had never played it before. They seemed to enjoy it.
Spent the rest of the day clipping coupons on the back patio (gotta find ways to save money so we can get Brian that TV he so desperately wants) and trying to enjoy the nice weather. It’s supposed to rain tomorrow. Booo! 🙁
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend.

Reminiscing About Old Times
Posted on April 3, 2010 by Ching under Family, Flickr, Life.
As you know, I’ve been scanning and digitizing some old photos. Brian said I can can’t keep them anymore (they’re considered clutter) so I’ve been saving them on my Flickr where they will live forever (or until Flickr goes belly up, which I hope never happens because I have almost 30,000 photos on Flickr and it will be a catastrophe to have to transfer them elsewhere).
Here’s a couple of pictures I wanted to share with you all to show that I’m more than just a nerd with a computer, I’m someone’s daughter, someone’s friend, and a multifaceted human being too.
This is a photo of my mom and I at an one of my grade school graduations at Saint Francis of Assisi College in Las Pinas (Philippines). She’s giving me a medal because I graduated with honors. Woot! Woot! Go me! I’ve always been a nerd, ever since I was young. LOL.
My friends didn’t seem to mind either because there were still friends with me, despite my obvious nerdiness (hey, there were some perks such as getting to take home quizzes to grade – LOL).
The reason I’m not in my school uniform at the graduation is that my barkada and I performed at the ceremony. I loved to dance (still do) and we performed every chance we got. LOL.
Judging from our outfits in this picture, my guess would be this was a dance performance to the tune of Together Forever (by Rick Astley). We used to love that song because it held great meaning for us. We were always the “friends forever” types and we thought our barkada would be “together forever” also.
Now we’re living in various parts of the world. I’d lost touch with a few of them (Pia is the one I’d been in contact with the most; she actually came to our wedding and was one of my bridesmaids) over the years, but now we’ve reunited through Facebook. Gotta love social networking!

Guess Who’s in the Lead?

Brian was in the lead for a while, but since we returned from San Francisco I’ve taken over the lead. Just 16 more pounds to go!

Ching Circa 1979
Posted on March 31, 2010 by Ching under Life.
Found this old photo of me that I thought I’d share with you guys. I believe this was taken February 2, 1979. At least that’s what the writing on the back of the photo said. I was such a cute kid. I don’t know what happened. LOL.
