We started our day by competitively bowling with lots of Punongbayan & Araullo people, who were all dressed in blue shirts, at Coronado Lanes in Star Mall Shaw Boulevard. Lasted up to 12pm.
After that, we then decided to go to SM Megamall since my girlfriend wants to buy a new pair of rubber shoes for another sporting event of hers - volleyball. So okay, we went to SM Megamall to check their shoes out. Unfortunately, their shoes were either lacking the pink department or just a tad too big or small. We almost had the shoes my baby wanted - a pink Fila something - but alas, it was one size too small. This is where the Galleria comes in.
We rode a bus to Robinsons Galleria with their whole month sale in mind. We thought that maybe that same Fila pair would also be available in there, but for less. And when we got there, well what do you know. This Fila booth with guys and gals shouting "Hi ma'am/sir, try Fila" were selling the exact pink rubber pair of Fila my gal wanted, and what's more is its exactly her size! Nice eh? She bought it exactly for P999.00. But a note to Fila: Dump that "Try Fila" line would 'ya? It doesn't sound nice. It's scaring customers away.
So after that, we ordered lunch at Burger King. Two Whoppers please. Anyway, the thing I like about Burger King, aside from their burgers (which really taste like beef burgers. Yes, I'm looking at you Jollibee!), are their side-services. What I'm talking about are their free massages, free shoe-polishing, free PSP/whatever-gaming-device-you-have charging etcetera. This is the only fastfood joint in the nation that offers these services. I don't know if they offer free Wi-Fi though. But with all Robinsons Malls offering free Wi-Fi now (yes you read that right. Robinsons Malls are now offering free Wi-Fi!), who cares right? BKFTW.
Around two, we bought a pair of tickets to watch tadada! -Angelina Jolie's spy thriller Salt. At first I refused to watch the movie because we should have had watched that in Greenbelt courtesy of Nuffnang. The sad part is their alert e-mail arrived late resulting to me being cut off from the 70x3 ticket limit for the said movie. I hope next time them e-mails won't arrive late. Anyhow, we got seated in our seats around 2:45 PM. At first there were no people whatsoever, just the two of us (just the two of us, you and I). A few minutes later everyone started coming and suddenly the empty cinema was now teeming with life.
Fast forward to 5pm. The movie was over, my girlfriend and I were having the casual after-movie discussions when she spotted something on the ground. No, it's not a bag of weed. It's something even better - two hot tickets for Cinema 8, The Sorcerers Apprentice.
We were flabbergasted, confused even. We were placed in a "use-it-or-return-it-to-the-security-guard" situation. Right there and then we brainstormed. If we were going to surrender it back to the security guard, chances are he will be unable to find the original owners of the tix. Why? Because we walked back and forth for twenty minutes around the area looking for a couple who fits the profile of having lost something that's worth three hundred bucks. We were looking for a fighting couple, a sweating couple, a can't-describe-your-face couple. Why a couple? Because we found a pair of tickets. And The Sorcerer's Apprentice would probably pass for a movie date. Anyway, if the security guard doesn't find the original owners, he'll probably return it to the ticket booth or just use it himself or something. So after crossing that situation out, we decided to use the tickets ourselves.
We thought four times before eventually deciding to use the tix. Well, as a boyfriend, I know the pain and anguish of a derailed date plan all too well. Say, I plan for an expensive dinner but suddenly I dropped my wallet somewhere. Probably some heartless stoner would find it and think "Finders keepers." When the time to pay the bill comes, I reach out to my pocket and there's no wallet there. Eventually my girl would pay but the pain and shame and hurt is there. That's how I felt at that moment when we found the tickets. But seeing there's no use on crying on spilled milk, we cashed it in.
Fast forward to The Sorcerer's Apprentice. This was to be the second movie of our day. Me and my girlfriend were thinking of watching a double-movie a long time ago. Never thought it would come true all of a sudden, and for free.
Around 7:30pm, the movie was over. I was very dizzy. Came back to my senses a few short minutes later. It was to my pleasurable surprise that the once empty mall is now full of gorgeous Filipinas and Koreans! Once we got to the stream of people, gorgeous ladies were passing me by left and right. There was this overload. My girlfriend even pouted her lips pointing me to look at a Korean girl dressed in a very short skirt. I wanted ask her if she was lost or something. Anyway, she was whiteness and gorgeousness at 95%. What's 100% you say? My girlfriend of course. No, make that 1000%, because she's the most-gorgeousest-bestest-finestest lady you'll ever lay your eyes on. That's how you define an angel on Earth.
She rode the train home back to Heaven. I didn't want God to be mad on me for not returning her angel on time.
So, if you have read up to this point, congratulations. You have just finished a screed. Usually, people are afraid of walls of texts, but not you. So have you enjoyed reading my story? If so, tell me what you think about the lost tickets? Did we do the right thing? ;)
'Till my next installment.
P.S. My angel turns into a demon if she sees me eyeing (or licking[?]) another girl without her consent.
