Dona has her spontaneity attacks last Wednesday so we decided to go on a
Before heading to the cinemas, we decided to grab dinner at Food-Street in SM Southmall. So we think, which one of them restos we haven't been on. Marciano's steaks caught wifey's attention, and me, being a lover of grilled meat, agreed to opt for this new experience.

We ordered a T-Bone steak and asked the waiter if it will suffice for the two of us. He said its serving is good for two people, so we decided to try it out first. He asked how are we having our steak. On that note, I would like to share that I was only wearing sleeveless shirt and slippers, that would hint of my non-existent knowledge of steak cooking-degrees.
Dona answered the waiter after I stared through space half-wittedly and chose for our steak "well-done". Mind you readers, my wife does make herself clear when speaking to not-so-close people like Mr.Waiter.
After the oh-so-polite waiter left us, my wife and I took some pictures and browse the menu some more. Looking at the prices, she resentfully stated that at the price we're paying for the food, we could have gone to Sambokojin and ate ourselves like there's no tomorrow. I, on the other hand, objected that it was late to go there as it was already past 8 and reminded her of our movie schedule.

When our dinner arrived, we were in awe at the looks of the steak. It was huge as hell and smelled terrific. This was perfect, I thought to myself. But lo and behold, when I cut the steak, it showed a pinkish meat inside. So for your reference (my non-existent readers), I'm posting this picture as basis of how meats are served:
We asked for a well-done steak 'coz I'm such a cry-baby and I get goosebumps whenever I see blood traces on my food. What's more annoying is that when we brought the issue to the waiters, they seemed to gang up on us and repeatedly asked the cook to re-prepare the steak. It was like they're mocking us indirectly and wifey is starting to get pissed. Good thing that they brought out more veggies that calmed the God of Chaos inside my wife's head. :))
I'm guessing they kind of sensed that Dona was pissed (either with the steak or with the mocking part) so Mr.Waiter offered desserts with 30% off. Now, I have this theory that whatever food (or anything for that matter) that comes with a discount, it automatically gets the same % of tastiness.

We headed to the cinemas after eating (and sulking) at Marciano's. Rurouni Kenshin was our target movie that night (we've been dying to watch it all week). We got caught by surprise as we were asked to pick seats. We're not used to choosing seats before and this was something new to us (yeah, we're cave peeps).
The movie adaptation of one of my childhood staple cartoon was awesome. Some parts are not exactly how it goes on the anime or even manga version, but I guess to compress the whole Megumi arc into a movie, some parts are needed to be revised, else viewers will be left hanging at the end. Even my wife, who didn't watched the anime, enjoyed the rest of the movie. He thought the protagonist was a looker. I thought the Kaouri (Emi Takei) looked alot like Miky (Kathryn Bernardo). I also loved the way that the actors sounded much like their respective role. All in all, it was a good movie to watch.
Our movie night was fun fun fun. Well, except for the food issue and the guy beside us (one-seat apart from Dona) who kept unleashing notorious fumes (ang baho nung utot nya, pramis!).

Wifey vowed to watched the entire anime of SamuraiX. Another anime to keep her mind out of work for a while. :)
