Weekend Plans

Another weekend has passed but this weekend was a fun one.

Last Saturday was my first day for my new level in Spanish. Yahoo!! I am already in nivel 12 although I think I don't deserve to be in that level. I really lack practice. I don't exactly like their music and movies but I like learning the language. Do I really have to love everything about Spain or anything Hispanic to want to learn the language?

Anyway, we're back to our old 9-12 am schedule which is better than having classes in the afternoon. We have a new teacher who is from Ecuador. We thought she was Filipina cos she looks like one. She strikes me off as the nerdy kind. I liked Anna better. Well, maybe because Anna seemed nicer and more fun. Whereas, this new teacher of ours is so serious. She made us write an essay on the first day. Although the good thing about it is I am forced to really learn this time, hahaha!!! The not-so-good aspect of being in level 12 is... new people! We have two new classmates and I believe we'll be having two more. Jenny from UP whose taking up European Studies/Languages (not so sure) is nice. But that conyotic mestizo who annoyingly sounds like an amboy learning Tagalog, slang and all, is semi-irritating. Well, I can't judge him cos I don't really know him but he's irritating. Oh well, maybe we're just insecure cos he can speak it rather fluently (So the question why does he have to learn it?). But it is still annoying when he pronounces me llamo as "me llamow," or something to that effect. Anyhoo... that means I really, really have to take it seriously now.

Sunday. The day started early for us. At around 8 am, my daddy said that they'd be going to SM Mall of Asia and if we want to come with them then we should get ready already. Of course, we do! So the six of us (minus Bacteria) left at around 9. But first we had to go somewhere in Quezon City to go to my daddy's former officemate. We went to Banaue, somewhere near Mayon St. While looking for the street, I was also looking for Christmas' street cos I know she lives in the area but I didn't find it. My sisters wanted to see some baskets, etc. so we scoured Mayon St. to find them but we only saw a few at the back of the market. And another discovery was sushi by the bilao. While waiting, my sister bought a 10-piece California Maki porque ya tuvímos mucho hambre! Yum-yum!

After that, we went to Mall of Asia. We had lunch first. We ate at K.K.K. It was my first time to eat there. They serve Filipino dishes there and my sisters ordered Binagoongang Lechong Kawali, Garlic Pusit, Inihaw na Talong and Chicken Inasal. I liked everything except the chicken inasal cos I don't really like inasal to begin with. And that my rootbeer tastes more like beer. After eating, we strolled for awhile but after a few minutes, we went to the iMax lobby to wait for our movie. I was so excited cos I've heard so much about this iMax. We watched T-rex: Return to the Cretaceous. I was excited as I entered the theater and laid my hands on those 3D glasses. So that's how 3d glasses looked like. I thought they were made of paper and cellophane. Anyway, the movie started and I was expecting an exciting dinosaur movie like Jurassic Park.

But I was disappointed cos it was so baduy. As in! Baduy. Nakakainis yung ending. Ka-level niya yung mga sumasayaw na eksena sa beach sa mga pelikula nung 80s. Pero ang pinakawagi na reaction ay yung sa daddy ko. As the credits were rolling, tinanong nya ako, "Anak, tapos na ba yun?" Sabi ko, "Opo." Sabi niya, "Naloko tayo dun ah." Hahahaha!!! Natawa talaga ako kasi totoo nga namang naloko kami dun. Imagine paying twice the price of a movie ticket and not even liking what you saw. During the movie, I wanted to sleep so badly but I was really saying to myself not to cos this iMax crap costs so much. Sayang naman pag tinulugan ko. Ayun. Nahilo ako pagkatapos.

After the movie, we then went to a family friend who is sick. We stayed there for awhile then we went home already cos we still had to attend mass. After the mass, my sisters wanted to watch The Devil Wears Prada and as usual, gusto ko ring sumabit. However, when we went to Sta. Lucia, they weren't showing the movie anymore. We went to Metro East and again, no Devil Wears Prada for us.

On Monday, AB didn't have work so we went to Gateway and watched The Devil Wears Prada. It's nice and funny. I really liked it. I enjoyed watching it as much as I did watching Clueless and Mean Girls.

The movie was funny without the main characters trying to be funny. The movie just reminded me why I don't want to be in a corporate work set-up. I don't think I can deal with anything like that. Anne Hathaway's clothes are so nice which makes me want to dress up and fix myself up but then again, I am much too lazy to do just that. I like clothes and shoes and bags. They're nice to look at but I don't want to wear them. If I were to wear an outfit like that, I'd be tugging my dress the entire time. Loved the movie!!! I'll be watching it again a little later since my other sister bought a DVD.
