V

I was in Cubao today. I went around Gateway and found out that Fully Booked there also sells a variety of graphic novels. The National Bookstore Superbranch(building) also has a new external look. I wasn't able to go inside though.
I attended the 1st birthday party of my inaanak at McDonald's near Gateway. There were quite a few kids there, and it kind of made me feel out of place since I still have no children. :p Birdie (the mascot) made an appearance!
After the kiddie party, my friends and I watched V for Vendetta at Gateway. I don't exactly recall if I have seen a movie there before but the cinema was good. It had great seats and the design of the theater is such that you have an unobstructed view of the screen. The movie itself was nice. I have yet to read the comic it was based upon but the story was riveting and suspenseful. It had a good mix of action scenes, special effects and dialogue such that you wouldn't get too bored during the film. Natalie Portman gave an okay performance, and Hugo Weaving was quite good. All in all, the movie was worth watching.
I then went to Megamall to meet up with a friend. He was to treat me at Italliani's
since he recently celebrated his birthday. Had a sumptious meal: Sicilian Salad (salad with chicken, mango and grape slices), Angel Hair Meditarreneo, and perfectly grilled porkchops. We saw our former consultant at a nearby table also dining there with his family and they left earlier than us. As we were getting our bill, we found out that our bill was already paid for by our consultant! Talk about a free meal! :)
