[Movie] The Proposal


I was on a dvd movie spree a few weeks ago. I watched about 5 movies straight and this one win it for me! ^_^ Just when I thought I'm so over all the romantic comedies, "The Proposal" does it again to me.

I used to really love romantic comedies for the simple reason that I'm a romantic and I like to laugh. But being single and having no love life makes one somewhat cynical in this world full of love birds flying all around you. For a time there, I forgot what romantic is and all that sweet lovey dovey couples started to annoy me. LOL! XD

But whatever, I still love to laugh which is why I watched this movie and I'm not sorry, I love it!!! I just wish the romance will come to my life before the weak fire that kept me hoping for a love story of my own got completely snuffed off. ^^

[Book] New Moon



Where is Edward?! This book focused more on Jacob and I don't know if he has many fans but it sure is his time to shine. I think the last few chapters are the high light, it's where the action is and that would be what I'll be looking forward to in the movie (and the same with most Edward Cullen fans I'm sure!).

I just hope they would get a taller Jacob for the movie because the Jacob in the 1st Twilight movie is too short to be a werewolf. He has to at least be a few inches taller than Edward to look more scary.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to the movie and hope I'll get more than what I got from this book. =S

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince


I'm not one to watch movies in the movie house. I usually watch my movies at the comfort of my room with my dependable dvd player. ^^ So I surprised even myself that I managed to watch Transformers a couple of weeks back and now Harry Potter. Thanks to my good friends for inviting me to watch with them. =) Not having a boyfriend do have it's down sometimes, no movie companion for me since my friends watch with their other halves. Oh well, that's life haha!

Now for the movie, we watched it in Imax with only 15 minutes of 3D. I was looking for more around the end part when Harry and Dumbledore started fighting in the cave but none. =< It's more of story telling to reveal the secrets that had been left unanswered from book 1 and in preparation for the final book. And I hope Harry will grow a few inches taller, Ginny looks tougher than him. Hermione had grown to be a really beautiful lady! She's so beautiful! I love Ron, and like Hermione, I had always found him interesting. ^^

Looking forward to watching the final chapter! Still not ready to say goodbye to Harry though. ~

Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen


I love the first and still love the 2nd! It's action packed movie that kids and adults will surely enjoy!

And it's my first time to watch with a La-Z-Boy recliner and i love it! You wouldn't want to watch with a regular movie house chair again! ^^

[Food] Tokyo Cafe



I met up with my friends from my previous job and as always, we had dinner and a good chat. ^^ We usually meet up in Mall of Asia or Glorietta. But recently, I prefer MOA because of the traffic in Makati. Anyways, while in MOA, I suggested we try Tokyo Cafe because of it's really delicious looking food display. They're all so yummy looking! ^^

And I have to say, I was not disappointed at all! The service is fast and the food is good. But maybe because of the rush of guests, the presentation is not as nice as in the picture anymore but the taste is still good so it's forgivable.

We ordered three different kinds of pasta:

1. Shrimp Aglio Olio - which really smells so yummy! Upon arrival of the food, I immediately wanted to taste it! And I was not disappointed at all, it's very tasty and I love the touch of spiciness in it.

2. Chicken Cream Pasta - is like carbonara with chicken. It's creamy and quite light on the palate. A good choice for white sauce lovers.

3. Creamy Ebiko Pasta - I love shrimp and this shrimp pasta dish is a must try. The creamy sauce complements the shrimps so well. Love it!



Then we also ordered one All Meat Pizza and one order of Chicken & Cheese Roll. Their pizza is really thin and very light on the tummy. The Chicken Roll I think is a guest favorite. I see lot's of customers ordering it. I love the mozarella in it, makes the dry chicken breast meat juicier.



And with their really nice choice of dessert, who can resist not trying one when they all look so yummy! I ordered Adzuiki Parfait and I looooove the adzuki beans! Their big monggo beans that tastes sweet and really good with the green tea ice cream!!!

The food is a little bit pricey but most restaurants are anyways so might as well go to one with good food right? ^_^
