Movie Date, Snow White & the Huntsman

Wednesday 30 May 2012

Since we are not throwing a birthday party for Poj, we decided to bring a cake to nursery to share with his friends there. He was really excited to bring the cake that he has chosen himself, a Disney Cars cake. He was in high spirits as we drove to nursery singing the happy birthday song. Inuuto nya kami to sing it fast first then slow the next, pero ok lang magbibirthday eh, lol.

We didn't plan anything for today and decided to see a movie instead. I can't remember the last time we went to the cinema together so we were quite excited to go. 

It's Orange Wednesday today, Orange being our mobile phone provider who gives their customers 2 for 1 movie vouchers every Wednesday! We didn't even know which movie to see so we chose the one that was starting the soonest. Hence why we ended up with Snow White and the Huntsman. 

I'm not going to give too much away, but I'd say that Papa E liked it, surprisingly enough & I didn't. I don't know if it was because of K Stewart or the way the movie was made. Although I think the costumes were great as well as the music. 

After the movie we had time to grab a bite and go for another Starbucks half-priced frappuccino before we picked Poj up from nursery.

His carers said he had a lovely day and he said he was happy that he was able to celebrate with his friends. They put candles on his cake and they sang the happy birthday song to him before they served the cake to all the kids. His carers were impressed that he knows when his real birthday is. He keeps saying to them that his birthday is on the 31st of May! And he would be three! (proud Ina, palakpak ang tenga. lol) =)

Now it's time to finish this and wrap his birthday pressies! =)


Movie Premier, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Tuesday 10 April 2012

Sky TV usually gives out movie premier tickets to their customers but I always give it a miss because we don't have anyone that could look after Poj for us. But when I received an email about this movie, I logged into my Sky account to check if they are showing it in any cinema within our area. I booked tickets for two straight away when I saw one in Eastleigh which is 6 miles (17 minutes) away from us that would start at 6pm.  I thought that was early enough that we could ask one of our friends which Poj knows if they could look after him for 2 hours. But I didn't realised that it would be the day after the long weekend so we decided against it coz we know our friends have just come back from an out of town trip for the Easter weekend.

Luckily one of my friends was available at the last minute and I didn't have to cancel the tickets after all. We didn't know anything about the movie but was just excited to go out.

The title of the movie is Salmon Fishing in the Yemen starring Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott Thomas. It was a simple movie about a wealthy Sheikh who brought salmon fishing to Yemen by employing a fisheries expert (McGregor), with a little love story on the side. I like the actors and the fact that this movie just flows, light, very predictable but still enjoyable. 

Nice movie and great company. Thanks Rach and thanks Sky TV for our free movie premier tickets =)
