today i went out with my brother to catch dinner and a movie.
today being a saturday, we encountered heavy traffic pretty much all the way from home to trinoma. there was a bit of a ruckus near the house, a man in a pink altis got down from his car, hit a man on a motorbike with his door in his haste, and stomped towards a tricycle driver in front of him, and flashed what i could only presume was a badge of sorts. tabs didn't notice the roadside drama as he was so keen to control django fett on his PSP.
i was all set to watch "shoot 'em up" (ooh clive owen!), but we got confused as to what was showing where, and so when we got to trinoma, we realized that we should have headed for the block instead :p so we got stuck watching "rogue assassin" (because tabs refused to watch "i'm falling for you" and tomorrow is chuck and larry day with mom).
before the movie, we had dinner at five cows, because i wanted to try something new for a change, and tabs wanted to eat in a "real restaurant" where we could sit around for a bit, as opposed to the food court downstairs. i ordered the creamy tomato soup (found it to be more tomato than cream, though not quite as tomato-ey as i like), then tabs and i shared a vongole and quattro formaggio pizza. food was generally ok, though not spectacular (perhaps the ice cream is more their specialty, since they consider themselves as a "restaurant and ice cream bar"...the lemon torte was quite yummy, although perhaps i should have ordered it along with the main course so that the lemon sherbet could have melted a bit, less struggle and more pleasure in the eating. :) tabs' crunchy apple caramel parfait was pretty good too, although i only tried a spoonful). needless to say, tabs and i were pretty full afterwards (antakaw namin e!)
and yet this didn't stop us from consuming a tumbler of buttered popcorn each as we watched the movie, which was, well, simply put...quite bad. too many loopholes in the storytelling, plus a lot of the action scenes lost their punch because they had to cut some frames out for the r-13 rating. nakatulog pa yung operator twice malapit sa dulo ng sine. buti nalang good mood ang mga tao, tawanan lang sa sinehan.
so, andami ko nanamang nagastos today (made a couple of purchases pa sa chocolate, weeheehee), pero happy naman. :D
