Johnny English, Reborn


My movie weekend is Johnny English, Reborn. The movie opened last week; but, it is only today I was able to watch it. After his boo-boo from his last mission, Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) spent years with the Buddhist monks. He was called back because of a possible assassination against the Chinese premier. The informant would only talk to Johnny English. Watching movies like these, you should not expect much but just enjoy yourselves. Even the kids watching were laughing their heart out. It's like watching Mr. Bean, but this time, he talks. c",)

After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at New Bombay.

Wallet

The zipper of my Fossil wallet is broken. My wallet have endured much abuse. LOL

Thus, during lunch time, headed to The Landmark to buy a replacement. Went to the Fossil stall but can't seem to find a big wallet that would suit my needs. Always had a Fossil wallet.

Found one in the likes of Seiko, ang wallet na maswerte (translation: the lucky wallet). Hehe!

Now, I remember the cold medicine--Nafarin.

Exhibit Opening

Did not report for work. Severe headache and running nose. Decided to rest for the opening of our Cartimar Exhibit at the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging (PCCI). Can't seem to remember the cold medicine that works for me...


Before proceeding to PCCI, went to Max's at Waltermart to buy lumpiang shanghai to add to the food to be served during the opening.

Was the first to arrive at the venue. Given that there are thirteen (13) photographers participating in the exhibit, only five (5) came with their family and friends. Tsk! Tsk! Oh, well...

Nevertheless, the opening is a success! c",)

Set-Up


Today's the schedule for Tilak Hettige's Documentary Photography Workshop to set-up the exhibit on Cartimar for Batch 1 and Batch 2 of said workshop. Meet-up is around 10AM. Some of the Batch 1 students notified that they cannot come (I belong to Batch 1). No word from Batch 2 students. I can only come after lunch to help in the set-up, and already informed our teacher Tilak on this. Guess who just came that day to assist? ME!!!!

After, went to Glorietta to attend the anticipated Mass. We had dinner at Italianni's.

Contagion

(Writing this while waiting for the anticipated Mass to start...)

Woke up from the alarm of my clock; but, slept again. Supposed to meet at the gas station in the corner of EDSA and McKinley around 8am with the Tilak Hettige to check-out the Quezon Memorial Circle, the venue for the coming Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photowalk. Somehow, woke up at 7am. Feels like The Flash when I ate my breakfast, showered, dressed-up. Was at the gas station exactly 8am.

It was fun just wandering around The Circle. Took notes, arranged for the meeting place, and talked to the Administration to ensure the Photowalk will go without a hitch.

(Continued writing at home...)

Was dropped off at Glorietta, where I took my lunch at the Food Choices' Mongolian Quick-Stop. Then, watched my weekend movie, Contagion.


Stuck by a deadly outbreak of a mysterious disease, a group of doctors is deployed by the Center of Disease Control to deal with the outbreak. This is not so much of how the outbreak began or how to cure the disease but more on the people affected by the virus and the people involved to contain the disease. It shows the human frailty's and their strengths. The movie have an impressive group of actors.

After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at New Bombay.

Framed Shots: At Your Service

It is my camera club's monthly meeting. The photo theme contest is "At Your Service". The Tilak Hettige generously agreed to be the judge. The other judge is wedding photographer Richel Mascarinas.

Aside from the judging, a mini-strobist workshop was conducted.

Left the meeting early because Tilak has to leave early.
