It's Warmer Than I Thought

As I've said in my Facebook account, the last movie that I've watched was "El Presidente" and it was way back last December. Francis was financially short this past few weeks so we couldn't fit the movies in our budget.

So anyway, last Saturday, my friends and I watched Warm Bodies. The original plan was to watch Mama but we saw that Warm Bodies is still showing in Robinson Galleria and we've heard so much good reviews about it, we decided to watch it.

Before anything else, here's a quick summary about it -- A zombie fell in love with a human. The end. Joke. It's a story written by Isaac Marion and It's actually about a zombie named 'R', so back off a little Edward Cullen. He has no memories, no pulse 'cause mainly he's a zombie and he forgot his name -- all he remembers that his name starts with an R. But he has dreams so he's a little different fro the other zombies. Then he met a girl named Julie. So the story starts there. Just watch the movie will ya? Hehe.

When I first saw the movie poster, I thought it's one of those corny parody film but it's not. It's actually kinda cute movie.

Provincial Tour 2013 First Stop: Isdaan

So last Saturday, some of my office-mates and other ex-office mates went to Isdaan. It's a floating restaurant located at Calauan, Laguna. To get there, we took a bus from Gil Puyat and pretty much 2-hour ride from Manila.

Originally, our meeting time was 8:30 AM. But as usual, we managed to get out of Manila by 10:30AM (Super late). It's just sad because one of my co-workers had an emergency so she wasn't able to come (Sya pa naman yung excited)

We thought we're getting lost because we really don't have any idea how to get there, we just asked the mamang kundoktor to drop us off to Isdaan.

Signs that you're lost -- Hindi mo na kilala yung nasa campaign posters

Then finally, after 2 hours of worrying if we're lost, we reached Isdaan. And what did we do first? PICTURE TAKIIIING.

Isdaan is a theme restaurant that serves local dishes and they made the place look like a fishing village with huts and kawayan bridges. There's Barrio Fiesta, other ihaw-ihaw restos then we ended up at White Buddha -- I think because it's the Chinese New Year but no, it's not a Chinese Restaurant.

Ang haba ng menu nila, ang hirap pumili. SOBRA.

So we ordered what they called Mam Chit's Special. It has a little bit of everything. Lumpiang Shanghai, Lechon Kawali, Hito, Tilapia, Hipon, Alimasag, Ensaladang Mangga, Lumpiang Togue, Fried Chicken. Plus we ordered three calderos of kanin plus buko juice. It's just sad that their soup is not free (Hindi nga naman sila karinderya) and the table's kinda small. Sakto lang yung bilao sa table, hindi na maipatong yung plato. Haha!

Picture picture din

Then after we ate, we roamed around and found out that there's a free boat ride -- Yey!

And there's Tacsiyapo. For those who don't know what Tacsiyapo is, here's a brief description. Tacsiyapo is , I think, a vulgar word in Kapampangan. They sell you mugs, plates, wall clocks and for those who have more anger to vent, they also sell old TVs that you can throw to the wall while shouting TACSIYAPOOOO. Yeah it's a waste of money but it wouldn't hurt if you try it at least once. And I'm still wondering how you can throw the TV all the way to the wall.

Notice that the most people threw at was the "Taksil" one. Hmmm...

Then after that, we had to go home because my new-found friend needs to go to work that night. But we really had a good time. So that's about it.

Say hello muna kay Kuya Willie at sa Wowowee Girls!

Marikina Riverbanks Tour

In our team, I've always been the "Honda" girl (read: On the dot kung mag-log out) but these past few days, we've been bombarded with tons of work and when I say tons of work, I mean that's a LOT of work. I had to render an hour of overtime everyday which I normally don't do.

So last night, as a stress buster, some co-workers and I went to Marikina Riverbanks just to chill and have our Saturdays worthwhile.

Francis and I often pass there whenever we go to Cubao but I've never thought that there's such a hang-out spot in Riverbanks. Though I've seen a lot of couples (like the ones in Luneta), the place is nice. There are couple of bars with live bands, food station where there are plenty of grilled food and it has a mall beside the park.

Pictures are still with my friend's cam so these pictures are from Google.

I think it's better during the daytime where you can ride bikes or just to have exercise. 

And hey, they have boat rentals too! (P30/person per round) But I think it would be better if the river is clean.

and perya also!

It's been a fun experience and hope to see more places in the future.
