Thor in 3D
Due to time constraint, am back to my usual lunch-while-watching-a-movie.
Had a
Burger King Whopper Jr. meal with cheese to-go and proceeded to the cinema showing
Thor (in 3D).
Banished to Earth without his godly powers for igniting an ancient war, Thor has to come to the aid of humans as a villain from his world wreaks havoc. There's action, action, lots of action, a little comedy, a family drama... making a solid film. Forgot, there's romance, too! c",)
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at the Indian restaurant at
Glorietta.
Royal Wedding 2011
Today's the wedding of Prince William and Kate. Thanks to
Livestream Mobile, I was able to watch the event everyone is waiting for.
Congratulations and best wishes to the royal couple!!!
Kudos to the ones who covered the event. It is well thought-out. The angle of the cameras are great... creating creative shots.
Beastly
(Writing this at Glorietta's Food Choices...)No more tradition.
Usually, on Easter Sunday, I treat my "angels" for a swim at
Cuyab Hot Spring. Now, plans of others affected what would have been a "tradition".
So, went to
St. John Bosco Parish Church to attend the Easter Mass, where we had the renewal of Baptismal vows.
After, went to
Ayala Center. Dropped by
The Landmark to buy an envelope to put in my entries. Went to
LBC to have my entries for the
Aliwan Fiesta Photo Competition delivered. Bought a movie ticket and had lunch at
Food Choices.
(To be continued...)
The movie is
Beastly, a fantasy, horror(?), romance, modern-day Beauty and the Beast. A rich popular guy pays the price for playing a practical joke on one of his classmates. Curse was placed on him, making him ugly. To break the curse, he must find true love and prove that love with a kiss. Forgot what scene I got teary-eyed. Hehe!
Then, had
White Hat for dessert before proceeding home with a
Pizza Hut Super Supreme pizza.
Holy Wednesday Procession
Good thing I was already at home (from work) when the procession passed by our house.
The procession was led by our parish priest. There are several floats depicting the passion of Christ. A band is infront of each float while a group of people walks beside the float, praying.
Lunch
It's been a long time since my friend and I met up again for lunch. Set it up last week.
We had our lunch at
The Old Spaghetti House (TOSH). Dessert is at
The Golden Spoon.
Palaspas
(Writing this at Gorietta's Food Choices...)Was not able to attend the anticipated Mass yesterday because I joined the
Aliwan Fiesta. I already asked
Manong to buy me
palaspas so that I can bring it to Mass.
My alarm clock did not turn on. When I woke up, I saw it beside me. Must have slept while setting the alarm. Hehe! I must really be tired. In a speed of light, I ate breakfast, dressed-up and left the house. Was planning to attend the Mass at
Glorietta (which I usually do for anticipated Mass), but due to time. went to
St. John Bosco Parish Church instead.
After, went to
Glorietta for my weekend movie. First, ate mongolian bowl of
Mongolian Quick-Stop. For dessert, I think I'll have
White Hat's Cobbler's Hat.
(To be continued...)Watched
Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D. It is another version of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet... for kids. Of course, since it is for kids, it is a happy, ever-after ending.
Aliwan Fiesta 2011
Today is the grand parade of the
Aliwan Fiesta touted to be the Philippines' Festival of all Festivals. Here, the winners of the different festivals meet and compete.
My niece, who just recently acquired her dSLR, would be joining me to capture the festivity.
Check-up
Left the office for a few minutes to give the results to my doctor. While waiting, a Chinese woman who is also waiting at the reception approached me and asked that I help her interpret her results. Seems she can't wait for the doctor's diagnosis. Even have to lend her my Samsung Galaxy Tablet to read about "inflammation"! :O
I have to take mammography and sonomammography in October. My myoma became smaller. c",)
Sonomammography Result
Left the office for a few minutes to go to
Makati Medical Center to pick-up the result of my sonomammography. Findings state:
"Distinct hypoechoic masses with suggestively benign sonographic features, bilateral. Clinical correlation and short-term follow-up sonography after 6 monthz suggested to monitor stability. Simple cysts, bilateral.
"BIRADS Category 3 -- Probably Benign Finding: Short Interval Follow-up Suggested"
Thank God!!!
Tests
(Writing this at Tokyo, Tokyo near the Makati Medical Center...)Would be at the
Makati Medical Center almost the whole day to take the tests asked by my doctor. Woke up really early as I still have to get a referral from my HMO,
Maxicare. I already scheduled an appointment with the Breast Clinic and the Delivery Room.
I would be taking sonomammography. While taking the test, took note of the remarks written by the doctor: hypoechoic, cyst, cluster cyst. Will have to check the internet..
Will get the result of my sonomammography on.Thursday.
My next test is in the afternoon, thus, took my lunch at
Tokyo, Tokyo.
(To be continued...)
(Writing this at The Landmark food court while eating Yo Swirls by BTIC's yogurt which is at 50% discount ever Monday...)Had my transrectal at exactly 2:30pm (my scheduled appointment). Also got the result immediately, which is:
IMPRESSION:
Retroverted normal sized uterus with multiple myoma.
Thin and intact endometrium.
Normal ovaries.
Then, proceeded to
Fully Booked at
Greenbelt 5 to check if I can get the photography book whose review I read last Friday. Else, I have to go to
Powerbooks to do a special order. Lucky me, Fully Booked have the book! (Fully Booked also take special orders; but, I already have a record at Powerbooks.)
Of course, since it is Monday, bought an upsized soft yogurt at
Yo Swirls at half the price. (wink)
Ghost Ship
(Writing this while inside the cinema, waiting for the movie to start...)Hair-pampering day.
Since am already at the mall, decided to watch my second movie for this weekend. Had lunch at
Glorietfa`s Food Coices`
Mongolian Quickstop. Paid my bills and waited for the start of the movie.
(To be continued...)
The movie is
Ghost Ship, a horror movie about passengers of storm-struck yacht who hitched a ride on a deserted ship. Now, they become participants of a deadly game that will keep them running for their lives. This is a ghost ship without ghost. They have to go through over and over again the same events, which may change somewhat but would end the same. Maybe, the concept was patterned after another horror movie,
1408, even
Source Code.
Rio Photowalk
(Writing this at Glorietta's Food Choices...)Woke up early because I have to be at the
American Cemetery before 9am. It would be our office's camera club April activity--a photowalk. The aim of the photowalk is for the members to have a feel on composition.
Before the start of the walk, I gave a mini-lecture on filters. Then, they were assigned to take photos using lines for composition, i.e. leading lines, curve/ S-curve, diagonal, horizontal, vertical. Added framing in their "assignment".
With me is my niece, who is practicing her skills in photography.
Left the group early (for my niece still has to review for her exams). But first, we had lunch at
a Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante in
Glorietta. My niece proceeded home, I stayed behind to have my weekly movie fix. Hehe!
The movie is
Rio, an animated, adventure, comedy film about a domesticated blue macaw from Minnesotta who has to go to Rio de Janeiro to meet the only female blue macaw to ensure his breed will continue. But once there, poachers kidnap the rare birds. The two must work together and face their fears to escape. There were lots of kids in the theater and you can hear them enjoying the movie and laughing--even the kids-at-heart. c",)
(To be continued...)
While waiting for the anticipated Mass, updated my blog at Food Choices. (wink)
Have dinner at
Italianni's after the Mass.
Source Code
(Writing this at Glorietta's Food Choices using my new Samsung Galaxy Tab...)My first weekend activity is to go to a dentist. Already made an appointment with
Dr. Jay Catipon for 11am. This would be my first time going to him and would say I had a nice experience. I am not afraid of dentists (for some people are). For those in fear of dentists, Dr. Jay can ease those worries away.
Then, proceeded to
Glorietta for my movie fix. Bought ticket for the 2:25pm show, have my photos developed, lunch at
Mongolian Quickstop and wait for the start of the movie.
(To be continued..)
Watched
Source Code, an action, sci-fi, thriller movie about a decorated airman sent to live out the last eight minutes of a man on a commuter train that's about to be bombed. His mission is to relive the incident while investigating who the bomber is to prevent a second major catastrophe. Makes you think, not only about the case being investigated but also about the airman who has to relive the incident several times to get his answers.
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
New Bombay.
