Mission Impossible Movie

Watching the movie Mission Impossible Rogue Nation starring Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner, was a test of our conviction to spend family time. Just to schedule what date was already a big hurdle. Okay wednesday, Now the time, 6, too early, 6:30 could be, 7 maybe, 8 too late,
9 too sleepy.

Next challenge was buying the tickets. Podium’s online ticketing was malfunctioning. I volunteered to buy the tickets myself, in Eastwood Mall.
I didn’t expect that I was into more surprises.
I arrived at the mall at exactly 10:30 am. They were still closed. I waited for half hour inside my vehicle. The guards were trying to shoo us away, but no way. I didn’t want to go around wasting my gas.

The guards took their time removing the kadena de amor. Finally, at 11:05 am my time, I walked in the mall, up 3 flights to reach the top floor. Oh Hello, walang tao. The ticket counter was still dark. Baka nag-me-make up pa yung mga takilyera. That’s the Tagalog translation.

Okay, one lady switched on her computer. And left! Nag-aayos pa ng mga gamit nila at naglalagay ng mga panukling barya.

11:15 eto na, choose the time, 6:30 Cinema 5, 7:10 Ultra. My daughter has strict orders not to buy Ultra tickets because they’re not worth it daw, dahil super mahal. Being a dutiful mother, my daughter’s wish is my command.
Dun na lang kami sa mura P250 x 4 = P1,000. Kung sa Ultra kasi P510 x 4 = P2,040. Grabe no, sine pa lang yan. Nung araw pang tuition na yan.

I have the tickets!!!!

movie tickets, mission impossible

Traffic was already heavy going from Eastwood to Makati. I reached the office at 12:45 pm. My husband came and we all had Bon Chon, buko juice, and plato wraps.

At 4 pm, I reminded him that we have a movie to catch. Eto na, takbuhan na kami.
The 4 of us, came from all directions (dapat One Direction). nauna si Edmund, I left in 5 minutes, then Oyen left after 15 minutes.

Grabe ang traffic. pasikot-sikut, nahilo ako sa Waze. Lahat ng route, in red.
My husband and I took the same route. He was calling and calling every few minutes
“swithart, san ka na?” Ok traffic is moving. Sa kanto medyo may traffic…”
he updated me every 10 minutes, para syang traffic advisory. Very helpful naman talaga. “Okay dito na ako sa bridge, very light, pwede”.
“Hello tart, barado dito sa kanto, iikot ako sa…”
“Hello tart, magkasunod lang tayo”.
“Hello tart, dito ako sa likod nyo, naunahan mo pa ako, saan kayo dumaan?”
“Hello tart, pagdating sa bahay magweewee ka na tapos alis agad tayo”.
“Hello tart, si Oyen lampas na daw sa Heritage, mauunahan pa tayo”.
“Hello tart, Nadun na sila”.

A——“Dapat pala yung 7:10 showing na lang ang binili ko. Ayaw kasi ni Oyen, mahal daw sa Ultra”.
E——“Yang anak mo talaga, mahilig magtipid”.

E——-“Hindi relaxing itong pagpanood natin ng sine. Stressful itong naghahabol tayo”.
A——-“Eh kasi grabe ang traffic, dapat tatlong oras ang allowance”. “Buti pa sa Japan tayo nagpunta”.
E——–“Stressful na, stressful pa yung papanoorin natin, puro habulan at suntukan”.

Y & N were already waiting at the cinema’s entrance. Takbo kami, no one was manning the cinema door. When we sat down, Tom Cruise was already hanging on to the left side of a military airplane that’s about to take-off. He was clinging to his dear life while yelling to his IMF friends to open the door.

E———“Impossible yan, im-po-sib-le yan”

According to kumpareng Tom Cruise, he did the crazy stunts himself.

Jangrangjang jangjang jangjang jarangjang, durohhhh oot, dudoooo oot…
(musical scoring)

This sound is nostalgic to me. My papa watched the weekly tv series religiously. At wag na wag syang aabalahin at iinit ang ulo.

A———“Tart, hindi na tayo nakabili ng popcorn”.
Whisper
E———“Bibili ako, anong gusto mo”.
Whisper
A———“Anak dad is going to buy popcorn, what flavor?”
Yen——-“Cheese”.
Nyke——“Cheese”
A———“Tart, tatlong cheese and water”
Ssshhhh

I was dumbfounded when I went out of the cinema.
The cheese popcorn stained my favorite 10 year old white blouse. Naku matanggal kaya ito ng Zonrox? o Kalamansi? o kula?
