Harry Potter 4, Constantine Maroulis, and a lot more!

The long wait is finally over. My friends and I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on its first day of showing in Greenbelt 3. We almost lost our seats, and ask me why...(ok, thank you)...my friend who made the online reservation only got the reservation code 2 hours prior to showing and we were on our way to the mall. And not only that, she told us earlier that she forgot her password on the online reservation. But we didn't panic of course, since she still has few hours to retrieve it before we crack her bones. Hehe joke lang.

I haven't read any Potter books, but those who do said that there are some things not translated on the flick. There should've been a more exciting scenes on the maze, they said, and the nosy reporter has a much more silly acts on the book than on the film. As for me, I thought this time the movie is kind of matured. Or maybe I'm the one being childish. hehehe.

It's past 12mn when the film ended and it's one of our friends' birthday (Nov. 17). After all the greetings, we're supposed to stay a bit longer and have coffee and chat but we needed to go home asap to catch up for our sound sleep and get "normal" for our medical exam morning of that day.

Come Thursday morning, we had our medical exam. As usual, I had a lot of side comments on the clinic. I feel like they are all robots and everything they said is recorded. Maybe that's what they have been doing for many years now. But hell, it's not a good practice just so they know. Especially when I was on the physical exam room, I don't find our physical exam such an "exam". Well yeah, she let us pull our undies down and all, but she didn't even touch that "thing" you know. Don't get me wrong! This was my second time to have a physical exam and I think it is but proper for the doctor to do touch your "thing" to find out herself if there's something wrong with it or not. And she did nothing. She just asked us and how easy was it to say YES or NO.

Anyway after that, Reggie and I went to Robinson's Place for lunch. And while he was on his way to Makati to meet another friend, I stayed at Starbucks for a while until 2ish before going to PICC for our graduation. After the graduation, my boss and I, and 2 other co-faculty, went to Greenbelt 3 for dinner.

After we have eaten, I was supposed to go home and thought that I need to sleep early even if I know that Constantine Maroulis will be there at the park come 8pm. It's almost 8pm though and while we were walking down the ground floor, I thought of staying and hear the rocker's voice for a while. Since I don't have anyone to stay with me as my co-faculty wanted to go home already, I just told myself that if I'll see someone I know there, I'll stay, otherwise, go home and sleep. And when I was about to get a cab, I saw my two friends! Kuya Ahlet and Ate She and they are on there way to watch Constantine! And so I stayed.

After waiting for few more minutes, with our sweat all over, the big crowd started to scream as Constantine Maroulis sings. He is such a great performer. I like him better than Bo. I think he was overwhelmed too. He kept on saying how beautiful manila is as well as the people. And the sosyalistas and fashionistas were really losing their breath! I really like that scene, I mean, for a while they have lost their poise and didn't mind their sweat that at times gets into my eyes. True! But Constantine really rocks! And the Ayalas too! They are so clever to bring Constantine in town to light the Christmas tree in Ayala and pull the crowd on their place. I wish someday they could also invite Vonzell and Anwar for a free concert. Nah, that would be too much.
