Tangled

Friday night proved to be a busy night for me and Sweetie since we had at least 6 hours to kill. The reason? Miguel's prom. To keep me from hovering and give Miguel some space to enjoy the special evening we just dropped him off at the hotel and left. (He doesn't know though that I had my head out of the window watching him till he got inside the hotel. Haha.).

So we went to Alabang Town Center to have some of my favorite spaghetti, do some window shopping, get some Serenitea and watch Tangled in 3D. I grumbled a bit about watching the movie in 3D because it's about two times more expensive and 3D glasses usually give me a headache (can't live without my eyeglasses so imagine the discomfort of putting on another pair on top of my regular one). Anyway, it was the only movie I was interested to watch and at least we got a discount thanks to the Citibank movie promo.

And... it was worth every peso spent.

The last time I enjoyed watching a Disney film was during the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Lion King era. I've lost count on how many times I've watched those movies. I am looking forward to getting a DVD copy of Tangled when it comes out because it's definitely another magical movie produced by Disney. I could not help but remember The Little Mermaid since Ariel and Rapunzel seem to be in the same boat. My favorite character though is Maximus, the horse. The horse who acts like a dog! Maximus was both hilarious and adorable, he makes me want to watch Tangled again this weekend.  Take a look, here's a clip from the movie  -



I also took note of the fact that instead of using usual weapons - guns, arrows etc. - the main weapon of choice in the movie was a frying pan! I should keep a frying pan in key places at home!



I couldn't get enough of Tangled so the day after watching the movie I ended up watching a ton of Tangled videos from the Disney Animation Youtube channel. Watch the movie and be prepared to laugh for an hour and a half. (This movie is for kids and the young at heart and not grumpy ol' people... just saying hehe).

Noon Time Jologs Break

Up early for several telecons, online meetings ekekekek.

So stressed.

Tired.

Dismantling.

What's worse... my muse, I think I left it somewhere in the channel between Galera and Batangas.

Coughing through my telecon, my boss said I should make sure I get sleep and a weekend. Weekend? What's that? Oh... a weekend!

Everything's been crazy the whole week, so fever, cough and all I took off during lunch with my neighbor, Jaja, to watch Sam Milby-Toni Gonzaga and Zanjoe Marudo's (that Bench hunk) "You Got Me".

I do like watching Pinoy movies. I think I got that from my Tita Olive who used to drag me to the sinehan when I was a kid. Most of my friends will just give me raised brows whenever I tell them that I watched the latest John Lloyd-Bea Alonzo movie. That or roll their eyes when I tell them about the latest MSKM episode. My best friend and movie buddy, Darwin, unfortunately lives in Cebu now. He used to drag me to watch Hollywood made movies 2 to 3 times a week. Oh well.

The simple joys of life. You Got Me is a formula movie. You'll get all the kilig moments you want with a bit of action (see Toni traversing the metro on a huge bike!). I did cry a bit during touching moments - especially when Moe's father died because he got hit with a buko. LOL. Toni was really into her act, as usual. Sam was his usual loser, loser! role (watch MSKM for better reference). Ooops, sorry I mean he was his usual cute self and played the nerdy-IT policeman role well. Zanjo's acting was way better here than when he was a superhero at Super Inggo.

Relax, de-stress, laugh a bit. Watch the movie without any expectations and you'll surely enjoy.
