We were supposed to have lunch in LB but I thought maybe we could go bit further. So we ended up watching a movie at ATC. We discovered that going on a movie date is fun -- especially if you arrive before 12 noon.
We discovered that ATC (and probably other malls too) are packed with middle-aged to retirement age people at this time. Making it less rowdy and very ambient for relaxing. But as we both have appointments elsewhere by 4 pm, we just had a quick junk food lunch while watching Eat Pray Love -- which we both liked so much.
I 'grew up' in the other side of Metro Manila -- that being Quezon City. Which translates to me almost never go to ATC before, despite it being an hour's drive away. I would rather go to SM North EDSA (currently the biggest mall in the Philippines -- no, it's not the Mall of Asia) or quite recently, TriNoMa (the name still sounds like a disease). It's only recently that I have explored the 'nearer' options -- Festival Mall, MOA and ATC, since my North EDSA is so out of the way.
But as I have been relocated from UP Naming Mahal to an obscure corner of Manila, I knew I had to keep my mall options open -- being a mall brat and all. And this sembreak is all about exploring.
Abby and I both have our mornings free -- yes the same time those senior citizen would drop by the malls. And no, we are not complaining. And inspired by the movie, we promised to go on adventures alone -- or together alone. Does that make sense?
Our first stop will be Singapore in the summer.
Our next stop for this sem break is a gastronomic adventure at Nuvali. Crisostomo, here we come!!
