From Cecilia Chung...
Welcome! My name is Cecilia Chung and I live in San Francisco, California. If you are looking for Cecilia Cheung, the Chinese actress, then you have come to the wrong site. If you are from the media and is looking specifically for information about me, please note that the spelling of my name is C-e-c-i-l-i-a and not Cecelia.
Cecilia - What's in a name?
If you are curious about the origin of my name, here's it's history. Cecilia is the feminine form of Caecilius or Cecil, which was derived from Latin caecus which means "blind". St Cecilia is the patron saint of music and the Celtic name, Sissy, was derived from Cecilia.
Why did I pick the name Cecilia? My first choice was the name Cordelia which often believed to be the feminine form of coeur de lion since I am a Leo. I used to see my relationship with my father like the one shared by Cordelia and King Lear. But as I journeyed into womanhood, I realize in fact that I was the one who's blind and not able to understand and appreciate my father's way of loving his children.
So there you have it. Thanks again for visiting.

Posted by Cecilia Chung
Republican Mayor Jerry Sanders revealed his plan to support a city measure guaranteeing equality to gays and 9/19/07.
San Diego’s Republican Mayor Jerry Sanders revealed his plan to support a city measure guaranteeing equality to gays and lesbians, after previously opposing it.
Through teary-eyes, Sanders revealed his stance on gay marriage had changed after considering that anything less than full marriage equality would be demeaning to his own daughter, who is a lesbian.
Thank Mayor Sanders for his courage:
