one big saturday

Yesterday was great! It was a movie day and night out with great friends! The morning, I was with Richard and Verge in SM Megamall to watch Spiderman 3. After that, Niño and I met up where we proceeded to go to Greenhills to canvass PSPs. We then went to Greenbelt, Makati to go and meet up with the rest of the gang (Bakal Soc and company!) to have dinner in Bubba Gump and go to a bar to drink and unwind. It was a great day, and if you'll let me, I'll elaborate the whole story! Haha!


SPIDERMAN 3 with Richard and Verge
The morning, I was still in bed when a loud, thundering noise was heard from the outside! It was Verge's Honda Civic's souped up engine! Walang hiya, pwedeng gawing alarm clock yun ah! So I let Verge in and we had breakfast here in my house. After that, we went to Richard's house in Kapitolyo, Pasig. After pummeling Richard in a game of NBA 2k7 in his XBOX 360, we decided to go to SM Megamall. We almost spent 30 minutes looking for a parking space! We didn't realize that there was a huge mall sale so the parking lot was jam packed! After strolling around, we went to the cinema to finally go and watch Spiderman 3.

The movie was alright. It wasn't as bad as some fan boys have said. It was ok but not as great as Spiderman 2. I felt that there wasn't much character development even for a whooping 2 hours and a half screening time. This maybe because of the fact that they crammed all 3 villains in one movie, balancing screen time. One of my favorite characters, Venom, didn't even have more than 30 minutes of screen time! Sucks! But at least, the bottom line is, its still an ok movie. Not much a disappointment as I was expecting it to be.

After the movie, me and the boys went to Mexicali to go and munch on some burritos. On the way, I saw the new Kobe Bryant Nike shoes which forced my jaw to drop! I even took a picture of it! Ganda! When Niño texted me that he was out of the office, I went and met up with him in front of Toy Kingdom. I bid my Lourdes home boys goodbye and went with Niño in Greenhills to canvass Sony PSP price lists.


GREENHILLS with Niño
In Greenhills, we first went to the newly developed Viramall. The new look is so modern and more of a mall-type look. Personally, I much preferred the old Viramall where it looked so seedy and dirty. It gave me the impression that since the place looked like a seedy "pirates haven", everything was so cheap and affordable. The much cleaner look gave me the impression that everything was expensive, and that making "tawad" with the prices is not allowed (or nakakahiya! hahaha!). The cheapest deal we got in Viramall was 14,500php. We then proceeded to Shoppesville para maghanap ng girls, este, ng PSPs. Hehe. We finally got a deal as low as 13500php!!! It's in that store with the Ink for Less banner! Yahoo! As soon as I get my hands on some dough, I'm gonna buy my PSP! By 6:30pm, we're already done in Greenhills. Niño and I proceeded to go to Makati via MRT. By 7pm, we're already in Glorietta but the rest of the gang is still inside the movie house. Naglaro muna kami ng Tekken Tag ni Niño sa Time Zone. Then after some time of waiting, Niño realized the unthinkable... he forgot that the meeting place is in Greenbelt, NOT in Glorietta!! Waaaah!! So we went to Greenbelt to meet up with the rest.


Dinner in Bubba Gump (Greenbelt 3) with Bakal Soc and Company
After finding our way to Greenbelt, Niño and I finally met up with the rest. The first one who ran toward me was pay!!! Ngayon ko lang nakita si Pay ever since the graduation in PICC!!! I missed her so much! Then there was Mark with Madonna (his girlfriend), Ed (surprisingly without Leslie), and Phillipe with his girlfriend Cheryl (my Multiply comment buddy! Hahaha!). I was surprised to see Pilep because when I asked Niño about him, Niño told me that Pilep wasn't replying in text or on the e-groups. Dom, on the otherhand, is on her way! Late as usual! Haha! We then went to Bubba Gump to have our long awaited dinner date! After a while, Dom finally arrived, and surprisingly is wearing a purple tanktop which is in the same color as my purple polo shirt! Haha! We also told the staff members that it was Madonna's and Niño's birthday! They then proceeded to sing a song much to our delight and to the celebrants' humiliation! Hahaha! And instead of a cake, they gave the celebrants a sundae with a candle! Much to our surprise, it also tasted like candle wax! ;p

It was great! It was almost perfect pero hindi na naman complete kasi wala si Dale, Drey and Jeimie! Dale was going on an outing so he couldn't come. Ang arte nga eh! Haha! Drey and Jem on the otherhand, I was expecting to see them. Hindi pala sila member ng e-groups! Sayang! Anyways, we had a great time! The food was great but a little bit on the expensive side. Pero since minsan lang namin ito, okay lang gumastos ng malaki! ;p


Late Night BAR BOOZE SESSION in Makati (I forgot the bar's name! lolz)
The plan was, after the Greenbelt dinner, we'll all proceed to Pilep's house to have the usual barkada inuman and kwentuhan! But it happens, Dom was expected to go home with her dad (since no one will take her home 'cause Jeff is not with her and she no longer lives in Filinvest 2). Pay was also not allowed to go farther since her father asked the land lady where Pay is renting that they wait for her to go home. So kailangan niya talaga umuwi. So we decided to just go and find a bar here in Makati. After a few minutes walking around Makati, we got into this bar that Mark has recommended. Sorry hindi ko alam yung places because I'm not familiar with Makati. Mark and most of the guys work in Makati so they know the "pasikot sikot".

The bar was great! Wala masyadong tao and the ambiance is nice. It was great for hanging around. We ordered buckets of San Mig Light to make the kwentuhan, tawanan, and "picturan" last! There was even that Tito Sotto look a like, which I suspect is the bar owner. I think he overheard us joking about him! Haha! After that booze session, it was already 2am. We then went out. Picture pa rin! Haha! Tamang lasing lang kami. I was a little tipsy pero hindi masyado since lights lang at konti lang yung nainom namin. When we decided to go home, we hailed a taxi. The batch was separated since Dom, Niño, and Pay went with me... and the two couples and Ed went together.


The Dropoff (me, Dom, Pay, and Niño)
First to drop off was Pay who just lived just a couple of blocks away from Greenbelt. Next is Niño in Timog, QC. Then it was Dom's turn in Katipunan! I was so used to dropping her off in her house in Filinvest 2... and seeing her dropping off in Katipunan is something new to me.. maybe a little surreal. Haha! Then I'm off to Filinvest 2 to go home. Niño gave 200php, Dom gave me 100php... when I got home, the meter was exactly 300php! I got a freebie ride! Haha! Kudos to the taxi driver since he was fair and he was not "kupal" like the other drivers are. He never took advantage and he was honest. Off to bed I go when I got home. I was soooo tired! ;p

Well, sana maulit muli. Ang saya talaga eh! When I begin working, and earning, rest assured I'll be the one to set up these get togethers! ;p
