Movie Time

Last Saturday, August 29, 2015, Maica and I finally watched a movie again after almost five years. Ever since Martina was born we stopped watching, due to whatever reason we had.

It was also the first time Martina got to watch a movie inside a theater. Funny that I was so worried of her freaking out in a theater that I actually waited until she was almost five before finally deciding to bring her out to watch a movie. So here's how it went.

We decided to watch Disney Pixar's Inside Out because this was the most kid-friendly movie out there. I decided we would watch the movie at BGC, since this was hopefully less full of people than the theaters in the bigger malls. This was my back-up plan in case Martina freaked out or something.

Little did I know that tickets to movies now cost a lot more than what we used to pay. Still, considering the location, and the quality of the facilities at BGC I guess it's worth it to pay a bit of a premium.

Tickets!!!

Since we still had time to kill before the movie started we decided to have lunch. Martina wanted ramen, again. I was more than happy to eat at Kichitora Ramen. I ordered their "Jajamen" and was very pleasantly surprised with the taste. I guess I'll be re-ordering this again when we eat here.

Jajamen. Sounds like Jejemon, sadly.

Finally it was time to watch the movie. We went in the movie house, and it was already dark. Martina was sort of anxious, but was calm. We found our seats and waited for the movie to start.

Martina was great throughout the movie, and before the movie started. She did get a bit bored waiting for the movie to start, but what do you expect with kids.

It was also a pleasant surprise that I one of my current colleagues at work brought his wife and kid to see the movie too. It was also his kid's first time to watch a movie, though she was much, much younger than Martina.

So how was the movie? Awesome. The animated short, Lava, that came before the movie was a great warm-up for the movie. Pixar told a great story, and it was very heartwarming and touching. Amazing.

It was worth the money we spent to watch the movie. I cannot wait to watch our next movie.

Out.
