Sentro x 2 and 1 1/4 Spanish Films
Yesterday, we picked some handsome large logs up off the street.
Then we decided to check out the Spanish Film Festival in Greenbelt, with movies for Php65 a pop. So the ticket stubs had the usual Timezone promo-- we looked for shooting game Time Crisis, to no avail, so we decided to have dinner. The tickets, magically, also contained some "Free Corned Beef Sinigang at Sentro for Every 2 Tickets" stubs, and we used those.
I haven't eaten in Sentro in about 3 years, so I got right at it. I got the bottomless sago't gulaman (made with panocha) for Php90. I also had some sitaw in coconut milk, veganized, without the pork. This was Php140 I think. Anyhow, Rob had the free sinigang, which was a generous serving with corned beef (real corned beef, not Purefoods or Campo Carne), usually worth Php340. It was pretty fancy.
The film Ciudad en celo started skipping after 20 minutes, and then it started pausing, which was quite a pity, because it was starting to get funny. So, they played the movie from the start and it messed itself up again. Being Pinoys, many began laughing and whistling and making funny comments. They were laughing at the guy from Instituto Cervantes when he panicked and ran outside to get another player. They were laughing when the actor's lines were "remixed" and skipping. Nobody was angry, so that made it alright. We ended up going for the door and getting our refund. (Pirated DVD!! Hah.)
With the refund, we bought tickets to the 9:00 PM film. Again we got the Sinigang Stubs, and again we were at Sentro, for Dinner Round Two. It was pretty funny that we were there, because the same people were serving us. We got Krissy and her friends, "those two girls over there", to join us so we shouldn't look like total pigs. This time I ordered the sago again, as well as Soy Noodles with insane amounts of mushrooms, for Php170. It was pretty damn good. Actually, I got pressured by the waiter to order something else aside from the freebie. Obviously, we were only after the freebie, and he knew it. Rob was gonna have it wrapped up cause he liked it. But all ends well with good food.
The film, AzulOscuroCasiNegro was good. It had brothers screwing their brothers' girlfriends, like the first and aborted film. But it was much more. It was well-written with a unique story and lots of funny parts. We were waiting for the dad to die, like the synopsis said, but he never did.
We decided to head home and talk each other's heads off about the movie and our interpretations and the like. So... see some Spanish films, they run til the 14th; eat in Sentro, they have good food.
