A Lunch Fit For A Wolf And The After-Lunch Movie Hunt: Nicollette's 21st And Red Riding Hood

- March 13, 2011, Sunday

- Today, we celebrated Nicollette's birthday in Chinatown Banawe, together with her family and relatives. Eric, Marnie, and I went to Nicollette's house earlier today so we could hitch a ride with Nicollette's family.

- After arriving in Chinatown, we grabbed seats, and immediately proceeded to the buffet tables. Ellaine and Thea soon came, and we soon became a noisy group of people, known at the VIP room as "Nicollette's high school friends." Hahahaha.

- Initially, we were supposed to come home after lunch, but we decided to have a little detour to Trinoma to watch Red Riding Hood. We were warned by many people that the movie was not so nice, but we still decided to watch it anyway.

- We arrived at Trinoma at around 3:30pm, and witnessed the long Sunday line at the ticket place. The earlier showing of Red Riding Hood didn't have good seats available too, so we hurriedly proceeded to SM North to catch an earlier showing of Red Riding Hood.

- We were lucky to have bought tickets immediately, and to have lined up early for the 4pm show. We were still able to get good seats, and happily munched on popcorn while watching Amanda Seyfried and her long, chic, red cloak.

- The movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It did have many cheesy portions, and the plot was above average, and yes, the movie did look a bit like Twilight (as expected.) The movie wasn't bad, but I thought that the movie people could have done more with the script, and bit on the plot.

- After watching the movie, we were all set to go home. As easy as it may sound, our plans regarding which public transportation to take, or which route to use changed every five steps. Finally, we ended up with hitching a ride with Ellaine's car, dropping us off in Gateway, and riding a train home.

- My summer vacation keeps getting better and better - and it's only the start of my post college summer vacation. I am a bit stressed about grad school requirements and other matters, but I really hope that this summer will be a blast, and more importantly, I hope that UP grad school will accept me in my grad program of choice.
