It was a heartwarming surprise to see who turned up.

What are the chances that Roy Chung might have been a potential juror on the case that I've been assisting Frank with for the past few weeks? I'd say it's a freaking small world.
Luckily, Roy embellished his Berkeley mugging story enough to be excused and thus I was able to sit in front with Frank for two days during trial.

Bowling was definitely a college pastime. I think this was one of the first times we went, and also one of the most memorable. Our class went with then freshmen Lori, Abe, Amanda, Fred, and Danny, and we lost both times. We also ran into P. Eug and the c/o 2003 officers after their meeting. And this is us doing our punishment in front of everyone. This was back when punishments were still relatively harmless and innocent.
This was a class bbq but it was during a long weekend so a lot of people couldn't make it. I remember helping Nancy make her famous ribs and I remember how the bones scratching my hands hurt like ass. But 주무르-ing the meat was freakin fun. I also remember Roy's heart-shaped cake that everyone gave him crap about and the guys sliding down a hill with a piece of cardboard they randomly found.
Much happened in February, 2003.

Continuing with Birthdays...
Taken at Jillian's in SF for Esther's Birthday. I don't remember much except that the club was pretty dead that night with a much older crowd. I was also a self-proclaimed honorary Piedmontian.
Remember Jillian's after senior banquet? Um, yeah, that was gross. The party after at Janet and Anica's place was fun though.
Taken at Chevy's in Emeryville as evidenced by their signature tacky sombreros, this was taken one summer for Snoh and Judy's joint birthday dinner. A lot of us were up there that summer. Celebrations at Chevy's... definitely a college memory. I remember once for Kristy's birthday we got her drunkety drunk off a behemoth margarita. Hooray for chicken flautas, endless chips and salsa, and endless tortillas sprinkled with brown sugar.
Taken at PF Chang's for Linda's birthday celebration, I think this was the birthday we pitched in and got her a camera or something related to a camera. After this experience, I realized that PF Chang's is nothing more than overpriced Chinese food for white people.
Anyway, I like this picture a lot. And not just because I'm in the center of the picture.
Taken at Fisherman's Wharf in SF, this was after we had eaten at Bubba Gump's for Sharon's birthday. We decided to be cool and blindfold Sharon... I don't know why. And even though she was blindfolded, she didn't falter a single bit, thanks to our expert guiding. I, however, fell down extremely hard on both knees and hands, and in my embarrassed haste, proceeded to knock down a nearby child.
I also remember calling Roy in the middle of dinner to ask a question about Forrest Gump so that we (Sharon) could get a free dessert. Yes, I am a cheater and a heiferous glutton. Anyway, it worked. But the dessert wasn't even that good. It was a hollow victory.
Karen took this picture and was very proud of how it turned out. It's a nice picture.

I've been meaning to do this for a while, but excuse my laziness [laciness]. I originally submitted these pictures for the senior banquet slideshow, but they never made it because the guy in charge apparently became too lazy to browse through all the submitted pictures and only used pictures from the first few people. Hence, the reason why the same people kept showing up throughout the slideshow. Anyway, seeing the younger class this past weekend, finishing finals and getting ready for graduations, made me feel a bit nostalgic. How has it already been two years since we've graduated?
These pictures are literally all I have to remember college by. I hope they bring as many fond memories as they do for me. =]
Taken during sophomore retreat, this was the Americana girls picture, of which I was an honorary member for frequenting the place so often while I lived at 2329½ Dwight Way.
I'll never forget Sewon and Kristy having to trek across the street every Friday to wake my sleeping ass in time for FicB. Apparently, I'm quite the temperamental monster when awoken from a deep slumber. I completely disagree. Why Kristy is wearing those Hello Kitty earmuffs, I do not know.
Taken either our sophomore or junior year, this is a picture of our class girls who watched The Beauty and The Beast musical in SF. The roses in my hand were thrust to me by a nearby vendor right before we took the picture and taken away immediately after.
I'll never forget the scene when the Beast is supposed to change into a human after Belle kisses him and admits she loves him while he breathes his last breath. The Beast was lifted into the air, began to rotate, and then froze as he was horizontally suspended in the air. The suspenseful music began to crescendo, but the Beast remained motionless. Then suddenly, a voice announced, "We are experiencing technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience." The curtains closed and the lights came on. Five minutes later, the lights turned off, the curtains opened, triumphant music commenced, and lo and behold, there was the Prince, smiling beatifically at an astonished Belle. There was certainly not much magic felt after that.
Taken during the first EM retreat, I don't remember much except the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon skit where the parents made their babies fly. That was when I was first introduced to Hayley and Nicole. I wonder how they're doing now. And Heidi, my husky little protégé who'll never remember me.
Taken at Sisters' Appreciation, it's weird to see how we've changed over the years, but at the same time, haven't really. I also think Jane shouldn't have been carrying Linda's torso and that Sharon or I should have been instead.
I'll never forget how incredibly uncomfortable and out of place I felt throughout the breakfast.
Also taken at Sisters' Appreciation, these were the girls in my sophomore small group.
I'll never forget Sarah disclosing her random obsession with chapstick. I'm so glad she was my small group leader. Three of the four of us would be in the same small group again the following year.
Taken during POTCH our sophomore year, I always thought our class came up with creative and ingenious skit ideas. This was no exception.
I'll never forget the chills I felt every time I saw this scene. I'll also never forget being Kristy's voice-over. That was fun.
Taken during POTCH our junior year, Judy's Moulin Rouge idea initially seemed a bit complicated, but the result was very successfully delivered. It was fun watching Carroll yank and swing Sewon around like a limp rag doll.
I'll never forget Karen pairing Kristy and Kwansoo together because she thought he was too short to be her partner, nor how I felt when I discovered it was Andy Chon who had plugged the extension cord through the chair I was supposed to use during the puppet scene.
These pictures are literally all I have to remember college by. I hope they bring as many fond memories as they do for me. =]

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question, "What kind of man are you looking for?"
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, "Do you really want to know?"
Reluctantly, he said "Yes."
She began to expound...
"As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man... or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask 'What can you bring to the table?'"
The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life."
He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.
She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple minded man.
I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.
I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden.
I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman but strong enough to keep me grounded.
I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy.
God made woman to be a help mate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."
When she finished her spiel, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said "You are asking a lot."
She replied "I'm worth a lot."
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, "Do you really want to know?"
Reluctantly, he said "Yes."
