Watched Ocean's Twelve last night at the Gateway Mall. I'm sending a thousand kudos to the brains behind Araneta' Center's redevelopment. I've been dreaming of a complete mall that's just a stone's throw away from our house, and Ayala Corp. has been listening! And so the big bosses poured in a whopping P2 billion pesos for the construction of Gateway mall and the sprucing up of adjacent buildings. Now, Cubao denizens will get to enjoy a luxurious cineplex with La-Z boy couches and a personal concierge. Where on earth can you find that?!! (Well, there must be some place already offering that, but ignorance is bliss hehe)

They're sellin sumthin here, just can't remember what



Unfortunately Cinema 10 is still under construction, so we watched at Cinema 6. We queued early to get prime seats, I found out later that we don't have to do that coz there's a lot of vacant seats. That's one good thing when opting for the last full show: less people, you get to snag good seats.



Enjoyed the movie thoroughly, but I know a lot of people that night didn't. The crowd was okay, not snobbish like the Galleria moviegoers. But for goodness' sake they don't have a coffee shop at that level! Coffee addicts have to go down and buy at Starbucks, at the Coffee Bean&Tea Leaf, or farther, at Gloria Jeans. Me, I just want a large Mocha Granita from Coffee Experience. Around the cineplex, a lot of shops offer a variety of snacks to occupy your time while waiting for the next movie. There's Istanbul Express (shawarma), the NYFD (New York Fries and Dips which offers, whatelse? handcut fries), Dimsum n Dumplings ( i so loooove their strawberry milk tea!), a Candy Store, and some other shops which I failed to see coz I'm soo sleepy. The waiting space also has comfortably upholstered sofa which offers superb lounging experience. But you have to be early and fast to get those much coveted seats.

The Lounge with sloths hehe

Movies to Watch: Meet the Fockers, Lemony Snickets' A series of Unfortunate Events (despite the bad reviews), and Elektra maybe
