- It's nice to finally upload something again here, after toiling and bombarding myself with anything academically-related. Even better, I was able to meet up again with Debbie (and her sister Jasmine) after a year.
- Debbie's car picked me up at my house around 10:45 in the morning. The car was driven by her brother Neil. Before going to Trinoma, we first had lunch at Chef Robert.
- Chef Robert is a restaurant in Banawe, Quezon City, that serves international cuisine at very very reasonable prices. The interior is primarily made of wood, and has the ambiance of a small cafe. The dishes were cooked to perfection, and more or less had authentic tastes, depending on the nationality of the food.
- After eating lunch, c/o Debbie's brother, he drove us to Trinoma and left us there. I bought tickets for the three of us to Step Up 3. Since we had around an hour to kill before the movie, we decided to stop by at Timezone, since it was the nearest thing to the cinema. We managed to do go around and goof around until it was time to watch the movie.
- Step Up 3 was an amazing movie. Seriously. Sure, the plot itself is really simple, but the choreography of all the dances in the movie was a therapeutic eye-candy. The dances inspire not only dancers, dancers-to-be, or frustrated dancers; the dances inspire the creative switch in the mind. Sure were a lot of "aww" moments, but that's just that. Maybe I'm a bit biased and touched about the "go and follow your dream" theme, since I'm kinda going through the same situation as well. The movie might have been greater if the rowdy group of friends/students at the back didn't make too much noise, especially in parts where their noise wasn't appropriate. (I was able to tolerate their cheering and clapping during the dance battle scenes, but not in the other mushy scenes.)
- By the way, Debbie and Jasmine's dance teacher in Canada appeared in Step Up 3 as a member of one of the opponents (not the main opponent-group) of the protagonist's dance group.
- After the movie, the three of us went around and shopped (actually they were the only ones who shopped.) As the sun set, we all searched for a place to eat dinner. Debbie proposed Italianni's, because she missed the pasta and pizza we ate last year in Italianni's MOA.
- The three of us not only shared excellent food during dinner, but we shared more stories and laughter as well. I had found out more things about Debbie and her sister through that hour-and-a-half long dinner. With tummies full soon after, we went to the "waiting place" and waited for Debbie's brother to pick us up.
- Today was a really good day to cap off a rather rough week for me in school. Not only was I able to unwind, but I was also fortunate enough to meet up with friends who live in the other side of the world. Hopefully, we'd be able to meet up again after some time. Next year, perhaps. :D:D:D:D
