A Surprise Movie Night

On a sunny afternoon, I went to the boyfriend’s house to deliver Christmas gifts for him and his family. The second I entered their iron gate, I heard a slew of words from Babe and his sister–movie, Ang Tanging Ina, 8PM, sama ka. And that’s about it. I barely had time to catch my breath.

Before we left their house for ATC, we had a good two hours or so to “relax” at home. Well, Babe was actually working on the OAP planner and I was annoying the death out of him. Kidding. A package arrived for him and guess what was inside the box? Tadda! BDJ planners!

Belle de Jour planners!

And because I’m a proud girlfriend, I took photos of Babe and his other 2011 planners!

Missing in that picture is the Our Awesome Planet planner. Now, I feel weird that I’ve seen what the planner looks like even before it gets printed. Haha. The perks of being connected to an awesome designer! Anyway, photos of the designer coming up!

If you wanna hire him, just leave a message. Haha.

Hello, Mr. BDJ.

So there goes Babe’s virtual “meet and greet.” Hehe. Watch out for the Our Awesome Planet planner. It looks amazing. No bias there, alright?

We went to ATC afterwards and purchased tickets for the 10:45 screening. Although I think we were already there between 7:30 and 8PM. We patiently waited for a couple of hours. Fortunately, I remembered to text Irene if she was still in the area. I got to meet with her (and Randolf who happened to be with her at the time) and managed to introduce her to Babe, finally. After that, we proceeded to the cinemas and finally watched Ang Tanging Ina.

Friends would know that I rarely watch Filipino movies. I haven’t seen a Filipino movie trailer that has made me want to go watch it on the big screen. I think the last time Filipino flick I watched on the big screen was Spirit Warriors. Ugh, I really don’t remember. But to my surprise, I actually enjoyed the movie. Probably because Ai-ai and Eugene are two effective comedians, eh? Everybody was laughing the whole time. It hit the right comedic notes and managed to squeeze in the right amount of drama, while imparting valuable lessons. It didn’t matter anymore that it was already 1 in the morning when the movie ended and I had to be up by 5AM because I honestly enjoyed the night.

Belle de Jour Fair

Babe and I went to the Belle de Jour Fair/Launch yesterday at Venice Piazza to show some support. The program was scheduled to start at 2PM and we arrived a little past 2PM. We weren’t sure if we actually wanted to enter the area since the place was filled with giggly teens and college chicks. It was especially awkward for Pao because, well, he’s a dude. In a girls’ event. With very girly booths everywhere. Nonetheless, we came in and got our wrists stamped with “I <3 BDJ”.

We checked out all the booths and actually wanted to really “get into all the feminine action.” The thing is, it’s a little tough when your boyfriend is so big he sticks out among the sea of mostly petite girls. Pao bumped into the BDJ people and showed him the final planner. This year, you can choose to buy a BDJ planner with the spiral bind (is that what it’s called?) or you could also opt for one that’s not (kinda like a book bind). I forgot to take pictures of the planners (including the Navi) but I’ll just have to wait for my free planner! BDJ has new brands in their coupons too.

The booths were fine, but the weather was beating us up. I could feel the sweat trickle down from my nape to my back. I saw an old high school friend, Grace, who joined the “I Want To Be A Supermodel” contest. Two hours later, Babe and I decided to say our goodbyes to the BDJ people and went home because the heat was killing us. We wanted to have our pictures taken over at the Photo Booth but the line was too long and Pao’s pretty impatient. Actually, that’s an understatement.
