Taking a break from the usual Thursday shenanigans with Thursday Club, I decided to have a nice dinner with Manoy, his wife Tina, Papot and Chris.
We trekked over to Charlie's to have some of their famous burgers... and yes, the ever present staple in my "crave list", their fish and chips!
As always with Charlie's, I found myself watching a telenovela on ABS. I was lucky before that I was subjected to the cute Boys over Flowers koreanovela. This time it was
Tanging Yaman which I found really horrid, even if the lead, Erich, is a smaller dead-ringer for Isabel Oli. Looking at beautiful girls can only get me so far. (And the
kontra-bida is this really horrible-looking
hilaw na tisay girl whose only asset really is that she's tall.)
Anyway, we went back to Manoy's house to unwind and have a glass of wine. I turned the TV on and it was on HBO - and they were about to show Run Fatboy Run - which had Simon Pegg of Hot Fuzz/Shaun of the Dead fame and the gorgeous Thandie Newton!
So we stayed on to watch it and I'm glad we did. I found it light, funny and heart-warming - I recommend you see it! I still have a silly grin just thinking about the movie!
I found the poster of the movie on the internet and I just found it so freaking hilarious:
