It's so Fluffy!!! I love Despicable Me

I just had two major goals for the long week...first was to get a full body massage with my sister which we did last Saturday at The Spa and second was to watch Despicable Me.

I saw the trailer but initially it didn't appealed to me thinking it will be all about villains and lots of fighting in animation involved. It wasn't until my sister showed me the trailer once again when I fell in love with the cute little girl who went gaga over a stuffed unicorn.

We agreed to watch it last Sunday and initially I was hesitant to buy the ticket as the 3D version in Greenhills was priced at P320. I want to watch the movie but to pay three times more than the average ticket cost..I paused a bit and even considered backing out. Finally after 5 minutes worth of non-stop prodding from my sister, there we were in front of the movie counter buying three 3D tickets to watch Despicable Me.

This ticket came with a bag of popcorn and your choice of drink. Honestly, I hope they would make another option for those who do not want the popcorn and drink and price it lower. I wouldn't mind paying a little more than P200 for a 3D movie minus the frills after all I am not a popcorn fan and I can bring my own water bottle in. Yes, I can really be stingy at time. :)

Was the movie worth the P320 ticket?

Let's just say that it has been 3 days since and I still have the Despicable Me fever. I couldn't get over how cute Agnes (the little girl) was and I love her adorable lines such as "It's so fluffy I could dieeee" and "Does this count as annoying *cluck cluck cluck*". These lines may not make any sense but I suggest that you watch the movie to see how this was incorporated into the story.

The story was about two villains going against each other in stealing the moon. After a number of failed attempts to get into Vector's property to get the shrinking gun, Gru (lead character) thought of adopting three girls who regularly sells cookies to Vector to be his accomplices. Of course, the girls were unaware of this.

This movie talks about building a family and despite all the challenges how we should not let go of one another. Gru and the three girls may seem like a weird bunch but you'll see how they have made am impact into the lives of one another.

Despicable Me is still showing in almost all major movie theaters and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

Now, to answer the question -- the movie was definitely worth the P320 ticket however I think it can still be enjoyed minus the 3D effects.

Here's the trailer of Despicable Me:

Vito's BBQ : Best Chicken BBQ in Town

Image
This was indeed a big big surprise. It started when I was chatting with my cousin and he casually mentioned Vito's BBQ  as we were talking about Chicken Rice dishes. I didn't thought much about it until I went online and saw a couple of friends from my high school posting about the same thing. "Hmm.. what is this  Vito's BBQ ?", I thought to myself. I was definitely so curious now and I quickly went to their Instagram page to check them out. Oh my! I'll warn you now. Do NOT go to their page at the middle of the night or you'll surely end up hungry and craving for Chicken BBQ. Trust me, I learned this the hard, hungry way.  Apparently, Vito's BBQ is named after the owners' 4 year old and he's so adorable! They started in Libis and recently, they opened their pick-up station in... *drumroll* Ronac Art Center along Ortigas Avenue and is even closer to home! Yahoooo!  Anyway, we celebrated Grandparent's Day last last week and I decided that

 Annyeong! It's been a while since my last blog post and boy this year is zooming by oh so fast!  So, how has everyone been?  As for me, I've been extra busy with work as I recently took on a new role that's equally exciting and challenging but really, I love theAsiaparent and I love my team and I am so excited to grow with everyone this year. On the domestic side, Yaya M has left us (again and for good this time) and we wish her luck in finding her one true love.  Meanwhile, my twins have started pre-school this year so Paul and I have also took on our new roles as Teacher Mommy and Teacher Daddy. I'm still sad that my twins will most likely not experience nursery life such as meeting new friends, being part of school programs, gaining independence and more. Pre-school life was so much fun for me and it breaks my heart knowing that by the time the pandemic is over, they might have to enter big school already. *sigh*  I'm glad that we enrolled them in Kindermusik ea

My thoughts on 2021 : New Year Musings

Image
 "Nothing can dim the light that shines from within." - Maya Angelou 2021's entrance was probably one of the most quiet that I've ever encountered in my 39 years of existence. With the absence of massive fireworks and social distancing protocols are still being observed, we gladly bid 2020 adieu and hope that this year will be much better. If you asked me what I was doing as we counted down to the end of 2020, I'd tell you that I was quietly in my study area, working on my laptop. With my twins and my parents sleeping soundly and Paul sitting right beside me, it may not sound very happening but to be, I got everyone who mattered around me and that's just what I needed. Of course, we had a nice family dinner with my sister and her family on video call. I guess this is really the digital age where technology makes being apart physically makes it feel less painful and lonely.  So what do I hope for this new year. I just hope for the pandemic to end.
