last friday, tina and i went out with tammy to see Sex and the City on its opening day (yes, the opening day - tina's been been waiting for this movie for 4 years, she said). tammy usually leaves the office early and since she lives near the theater, she offered to get tickets for all 3 of us (we expected a lot of people to see this movie so it's better to be sure that we buy tickets way ahead of schedule). earlier that day, i checked out maps.google.com to see where we're going. i don't like getting lost so i made sure i have the map to and from the theater. we left our place at 6:50 and reached AMC Theatre Parkway Pointe 15 at exactly 7:37 (4 minutes behind what google said). we got everything right - no wrong turns! we just had a hard time getting a parking slot.
as expected, the place was packed. tammy arrived 5 minutes before 8. we got 2nd row seats - most were taken or reserved. anyways, i still enjoyed the movie. it made me laugh and i got teary-eyed in some scenes too.
we went to Copeland's for dinner right after the movie. luckily, closing time was 11 and we got in around 1030. i loved their shrimp and tasso pasta (i hope i got that right). yummy! we had some photos taken before we drove back home.
on our way back, we got the first few turns right! but after that, everything was a mess. and so, our supposed to be 37 minute trip was extended to 2 hours. *Namumulto na kami* since we passed by a cemetery and the road is a never-ending Northside DR NW. hahaha. later we realized, we were already downtown. and i know i can't get home without a map. i called my honeyCoco (luckily, it was noon in the philippines) and gave him the street name where we are and i told him to find directions back to Roswell. and yes, we were able to get home in 30 minutes or so after that call. then i realized when we got home that we just really missed a left turn to mt. vernon and there is no *multo* after all - and yes, Northside DR NW is realllllyy long!
