films and friends

sunday was a good friends’ day. i woke up quite early…8:45 am. normally, i stay in bed til noon or past noon. the night before joey asked if i’m interested in the french film fest happening at edsa shangrila. i said yes in a heartbeat. it’s my first time and i couldn’t be more excited.

at exactly 10 :30 am, we were already cueing for free tickets. yes, free!!! plus they gave 25 peso discount on the popcorn and coke combo snack. all i had to do was present this stub that went with the free ticket.

there were four films screening that day. i managed to watch the first two…the ax which was a comedy…very entertaining,  and the perfume: profile of a murderer which got me close to being really awed. it made me realize just how inchoate our movies are in comparison to french films. i wanted to stay for the other two movies but i had to be in  greenbelt at six p.m to meet my other two darling friends chu and jeff.

i haven’t seen these two in like forever ( 3 mos? ). i used to meet them almost every week so i was very, very glad to meet them indeed. we planned to dine at blue ginger, our favorite thai restaurant. too bad the place closed up already ( i guess we were the only customers…:( ). sad thing but it didn’t spoil the night. we ended up at one of chu’s favorite restaurant, the kitchen. we were seated at the second table. the red brick wall complimented the quaint chandeliers so that the place felt really romantic. jeff just didn’t understand why there were moss-like plant coiled the arms of the chandeliers. i thought it was fantastic. the food was okay and as usual we were picked on each other’s food. i didn’t think the food was superb but the company’s really great. we were laughing and laughing the whole time ( jeff did with eyes half closed…he had not had any sleep actually). after dinner, we had coffee. we were later joined by joey. so we spent the whole coffee session trying to figure what carreer move chu should do given 2 lucrative offers. i think the three of us had different opinion but jeff and i kind of left it to joey, our official shrink to help chu figure whatever. jeff and i on several occasions were scouting for hot girls. my three friends are girlfriend-less and i can’t be happier helping them out pick their girls haha.

there’s really nothing new to what my friends and i do. in fact we’re bordering on doing the routinary: dinner and coffee. it’s just a wonder however that every single dinner and coffee seems different. the stories and jokes are different. and everytime we laugh our heart out ( i try not too because we’re in a public place…i end up having difficulty breathing ).
