Scary Movie

Another scary movie is showing in the metro. And Kris Aquino is once again in the starring role.

Dionne and I watched Sukob at SM San Lazaro with Mommie and Isay, our kasambahay. It was a rare occasion when the cinema was filled with moviegoers. I guess, like us, they wanted to get a little system shock.

As expected, the movie was one scream-fest. Every now and then I'd get surprised too.

But I don't scream. Hehe.

I was more annoyed with the people behind us. They kept on talking to each other as if they were at home, watching from their television.

Dionne says that Kris did a better job at acting this time, but still had that constipated look during heavy drama.

Bon voyage!

Dionne and I had lunch with Lu, Dax and Japan-bound Jera last Saturday at Luk Yuen at Megamall. It was a short lunch as we got there later than we wanted to. Dax and Jera, even later.

Once everybody got settled, the discussions were non-stop. Lu and Dax were talked about items for the upcoming Foreign Service Officer exam. Dionne and Jera were discussing Jera's Nihongo class teacher. While I continued eating. =)

We would have stayed and talked more, or watched a movie, but we had a wedding to go to. Before leaving, we wished Jera a safe trip and hope that she enjoys her three weeks in Japan. Pasalubong naman dyan!

Congrats and best wishes!

From Megamall, we had to make our way through heavy rain towards Edsa Central to meet Irish and Mau. We had less than two hours to get to Dennis and Lea's wedding at Binangonan, Rizal.

Despite the traffic and flood and heavy rain, surprisingly, we got to the church before Lea started walking down the aisle. Credit that to them having 30 pairs of secondary sponsors and 11 pairs of principal sponsors. Dang was one of the secondary bridesmaids but felt like a debutante at the end. Ara was responsible for everybody's flowers, including the centerpieces at the reception.

The ceremony was short and simple. It was the signing of the contract and picture-taking that took most of the time.

From the church, we hitched a ride with Dionne's boss to the reception. Apparently, Lea's house wasn't that near.

We got to the reception at almost the same time as the newlyweds. We were told where our seats would be so we went straight there. A few minutes later, when the rest of the guests have arrived, the couple was at the entrance, welcoming them. While we were already seated. Oops.

Anyway, we were lucky enough to be among the first persons in line for the buffet. As later on, the neighbors started to flock in and get a piece of the action. Even the kids swarmed the sorbetes. So Allan had to push some kids aside to get near the sorbetera. Tsk, tsk!

Unfortunately, we couldn't stay for the rest of the program. We still had a long way to go. Dionne's officemates were kind enough to give us a ride towards Manila. Along the way, Dionne didn't feel good. Good thing Mau was there for the paracetamol, Vicks and hilot. Thanks Mau!
