Tropa Tups, Transform and Roll Out!

I could not wait to watch Transformers eversince its trailer was released. I even have Optimus Prime as my wallpaper!Ü As soon as I had the chance, I took Karen to Eastwood to watch Transformers. We were supposed to go to Caleruega early Sunday morning but I was not able to wake up early because we went home late the night before when my other high school barkada had a reunion.

We got to Eastwood around lunch time and Karen wanted to eat some Chinese food. We were supposed to eat at Super Bowl but unfortunately, it was closed so we went to Shanghai Bistro. It was a good experience dining there not to mention the food was awesome. Not only did the food taste great, the serving was also good for at least 3-4 people! Had we known of their serving size, we would have ordered a little less than what we did.Ü

We even texted Allan, Barry and Selle to come and join us. Ok more like, help us out finish the food.Ü After eating, Karen wanted to have her picture taken with some of the still animals that were at the open area in front of Shanghai Bistro. Here are some of them.

We met with Allan at around 3pm to watch Transformers but Selle and Resty were going to Trinoma to buy Selle Avaiator glasses at Topshop. We decided to accompany her there and just come back to Eastwood later that night to watch the movie. It was also my chance to check out the newest Ayala Mall in town. I read in Anton Diaz' blog their mis-adventures when they went there not to mention the things I got from a friend of mine in college who gave not so good feedback when they went there. It was probably because the mall is not completely finished. Although, we were not able to walk around the mall, the small park at the top floor was pretty. The flowing water was relaxing and enjoyable for the kids. There were a couple of things that I thought they might need to improve on. First, their parking area. There were a lot of ways to enter the parking building but it only has 2 lanes for vehicles plus the road is a bit narrow. Second, the restaurants can be found outside the mall, quite similar to MOA. The difference is you have to go through their security inspection if you want to check out the other restaurants on the other floors. It would be better if they had an escalator or stairs to be able to access the other floors without having to go inside the mall.

We ate dinner at Bangus before going back to Eastwood. Another first for Karen and I, so we were not quite sure what to eat and we were still full with the semi-buffet we had for lunch.Ü The Bangus sisig and the Lumpiang Bangus were delicious! That Karen and I were able to find the space in our belly to eat them!Ü

The movie was incredible! Special effects were nicely done. I only hope they used the old transformation sound more. I can't wait for the sequels!


Next movie date?
