day off, day 2
Went to the Smart center in Southmall with my mom. Apparently, I'll have to suffer the consequences of Smart not filing their share of the paperwork on time, despite the paperwork on my end being on time. Pakshet. On the upside, I saw a laptop bag I definitely want to get the next time I'm in Manila. The only things stopping me were 1) the price tag and 2) they didn't have the color I wanted in the model I chose.
Went to the salon afterwards. Indulged my hidden girly side by getting a foot spa, pedicure, and the conditioning treatment for my hair. Best part was that it was my mom's treat.
Finally got to join the weekly Rebel dinner with Aids, Beej, and JP in Al Shaq's in the RCBC Tower food court. Had a great time. I miss everybody :( Hugged Beej before the group split up.
Aids and I watched "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (the movie poster only says "TMNT") on opening day. Yes, I traded in 2,400 charging abdominal muscles (300 men X 8 abs/man) for 4 mutant turtles, a rat, a reporter, and immortal baddies. This movie is more faithful to the original comics than the TV series was. Even so, I was half-expecting the TV show's theme song to play during the end credits - "Heroes in a half-shell, Turtle power!". The animation is amazing and the story is decent (more character development). One thing I noticed (and seriously got peeved about) was the fact that all the big name stars got top billing even though they voiced the minor characters - April O'Neil (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Casey Jones (Chris Evans), the Diner Guy (Kevin Smith), Max Winters (Patrick Stewart), Karai (Zhang Ziyi)... None of the guys who voiced the Turtles got top billing! Argh. Hollywood has no respect for voice actors.
After the movie, I started listing all the TMNT stuff my brother had - action figures, bedsheets, shirts, the plastic weapons... His prized possession during those days was the Pizza Thrower he got for Christmas :p Raphael was his favorite, while Donatello was mine ^-^ By the way, I think his TMNT bedsheets still exist.
