A Frankenstein Tale With a Twist

Jackee and I left the house really early today to pick up "a lot" of goodies. Can you hear the stress on the words "a lot"? Basta... it's a whole lot as in we don't even know how to bring it all the way back to Nova. After that, our Business Partner, A.K.A Partner in Crime, picked us up and brought us to her house again where we had our lunch. Seems like this is already becoming a Saturday ritual, huh!?! Hmmn... it felt like it's the best Pinakbet and Porkchop I ever tasted. I think I had 2 servings of rice, as in PG mode, hahaha! The gulay never ever tasted this good, basta I can't explain it! Maniwala na lang kayo na talagang masarap.

After resting for a while, we went to Robinson's Galleria to watch the advance screening of "IGOR". We have 6 tickets for the said movie, thanks to Jackee's charms *wink* Chris, Jackee's BF joined our group... hay... too bad Kuks is in Cabiao so hindi kami nakapag-movie date :(


Since "IGOR" is an animated comedy, a lot of kids are present to watch that day. Hindi nga lang masyado exciting because there were no contests prepared before the movie was shown, as what is usually done during advance screenings. NO FREEBIES... boo... hehehe, nasanay! =) Anyway, Igor is a movie about a hunchback (actually, all huncbacks in Malaria are called Igor) who wanted to make a difference. Because during that time, if you're born with a hunchback, you are automatically subservient to some sort of crazy professor/mad scientist. So Igor waited for his chance to step into the limelight and this opportunity came when his boss is killed by one of his own experiments. Finally Igor and the creatures he's created -– the low-wattage Brain who's not nearly as intelligent as he believes himself to be (he misspelled his own name, scrawling Brian across his cranium in permanent marker) and Scamper, an indestructible rabbit with a death wish -– have their chance to compete in the annual Evil Science Fair. And Igor knows exactly what will earn him first place. He's been working all night secretly over the design of a gigantic evil woman and believes it'll be just the ticket to win first place. Igor created this Betty Boop like evil, she called Eva who turned out to have a dysfunctional evil bone and so everything that could go wrong goes wrong. But with the help of his friends, GOOD still triumphed over EVIL. It's likely much of the dialogue in Igor will fly well over the heads of kids, as the majority of the jokes are intended for adult audiences -– not that they're off-color. Igor is actually a light-hearted comedy that's surprisingly sweet. And the important thing is, we enjoyed it while munching popcorn.

We decided to have an early dinner after the movie, and while still deciding on where to eat... we spotted an LV bag that belongs to who else but MY POK, Alison. She's having meryenda with her BF, and it' my first time to meet him. Alison is already walking towards me when I saw her joking loudly, "Who's that Pok girl wearing shorts!!!" It's a small world after all, ain't it!?! Nice to see you POK at super naka-outfit ka na naman at sobrang na-insecure ang shorts ko, hahaha!!! =)

By the time Jackee and I got home, super pagod na ako and sleepy. But before I doze off to dreamland... I want to share this with you. It's my own IGOR which I created in the movie's official website.
