Movie: The Expendables, Rurouni Kenshin

The 3rd installment of The Expendables!!!

Hello my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger ;p

To be honest I like the 2nd movie which I blogged here 2 years ago pa pala yun.

Maybe if the new female recruit is the likes of Mila Jovovich (Resident Evil) or Kate Beckinsale (Underworld), it would have been better. This one also has a lot of drama or more like "emote" scenes. And there were lots of explosions involved.

Nevertheless, Arnold Schwarzenegger lines are still funny, Banderas got a funny character and the story line is somehow good. ok na rin.

\(^_^)/

Finally a sequel of Rurouni Kenshin! 2012 pa pala yung last that I blogged here 

And I was amazed again by how good they rendered the fighting movements of Kenshin. It looked fast yet you can still see the details. Amazing!
The only scene I don't like were Kaoru's scene, I'm really annoyed by her character ever since! lolz affected much!

This is only the Part 1 and yeah it was super duper bitin.

I can stay in the cinema to watch even if it takes 6 hours ;p

But the good news is that the Part 2 will be showing this September! how cool is that!

Part 2: Rurouni Kenshin, the Legend Ends (September 24)  \^.^/

excited much!

SciFi Cafe, Pacific Rim

Last night we saw Pacific Rim movie at Robinsons Galleria.

AWESOME! It was brilliant, fun, exciting and action-packed. ;)
The trailer was impressive so this became one of our anticipated movie for this year.
aylabit!
\(＾▽＾)/

Before we watched the movie, we had our dinner at SciFi Cafe

Lookie! There's my Arnie!!!!

and more!

There are many other toy figures in display from different movies

 coooool  neuralyzer replica

As for their food, I suggest you choose other choices in the menu instead of pizza.  It was not sulit for the price. Their cream-based pesto pasta was good, something we've never tried before, but I guess I still like the oil-based pesto.

The Grinch Php280

mike chose the Armageddon pizza, it seems like they used a thin pita for the crust, yep that's how thin it was

Armageddon Php380

We also had wintermelon tea P70, it was the weirdest wintermelon tea we've tasted O_O

Total bill cost P800 pesoses (nakakapoorita avila) with service charge,  the good thing is we availed the ensogo voucher (P250 for P500 worth) and paid only additional P300. 

I really love using discount voucher :p

Food Court Finds: Kim N' Chi

Hello Sunday! 

Just sharing the korean fastfood we tried last week located at Robinsons Galleria foodcourt

mike looks like he enjoyed his Omurice w/ beef bulgogi (P145),  rice topped with super thin scramble-like eggs with mayo and ketchup

me? my japchae (P79?) was dry, gooey and hard to chew not to mention few veggies too =(

i hope they improve the quality of their food as their place looks really promising... 

I'm in the office doing overtime, 
work is stressful but when you get a hang of it you can't just stop eh? ^_^

Movie Review: The Amazing Spiderman

from wikipedia

Last Friday June 29, mike and I watched Amazing Spiderman at Robinsons Galleria, 11:30 in the morning before going to work wehehehe (di naman kmi excited noh)
but of course I have to stay until 11PM at work  to make up for the time :)
We just don't like to waste time waiting for hours in  lines (like in Avengers) so early morning screening would be the best.

Movie Review: Avengers

As much as possible, we really like watching movie in Eastwood Cinema  and Podium too (my fave!)  but based on experience in Eastwood, for a superhero/kid friendly movie there'll be a chance to be seated with a babbling, all-knowing, noisy kid :/

Podium on the other hand would be jam-packed for sure (2 cinemas only) that I wouldn't risk sitting beside someone who loudly slurps their drink -_-

Next choice - Robinsons Galleria. I don't remember someone sat beside us everytime we watch movie in here :)  They have 10 cinemas and I don't have anything bad to say on the quality :) 

And so we brave watching Avengers on its opening day after work.

mike would be coming from makati so I went ahead and bought our tickets that took me one hour in line! I stood there for an hour (but I'm not complaining :) it just the feeling of imagining someone would announced that tickets were sold out already (noooo!))  

I was surprised that our tickets are handwritten LOLz. I got the 8:40 time. It was 7:30 already, mike was still stuck in traffic and I thought of checking out Cinema 9. 

As expected there's already a line for 8:40!!! So I thought of staying there instead of going somewhere and forever loose my hopes of getting the front seats. mike arrived past 8 while I was busy amusing myself by reading ebooks.

So finally after a long wait, movietime! We seated in front and no one sat beside us weeeee!

And all I can say is that we enjoyed the movie, mixed emotions here and there, and amazed again by Loki and Thor.  I do really wish they put a mask on J.Renner! what an awful acting!

Chatime at Galleria

What's with milk tea craze?

We ordered large Taro flavored with only 30% sugar and awww that was so bland haha!
It has a thick consistency so I guess even if it has 100% sugar it's not very sweet.
