Shanghai World Expo 2010 (part 1)

First things first, let's get two things out of the way: Yes, the pavilion lines, at times, feel like it's about as long as the Great Wall, and yes, rude China men can make anyone scratch their heads in bewilderment.  But if you can get pass such minor cultural inconveniences then you just might find yourself enjoying one heck of a spectacular architectural treat before your eyes.

This Week in Manila: Film Festivals all around

My former film student self is salivating over the wide array of fabulous movies coming out this week.  And there's just so much to choose from.  If you're into European Cinema, there's currently the Cine Europa Film Festival at Edsa Shangrila Mall.  Tickets are free but you have to be there 2 hours before the screening, cause lines tend to go a little crazy, and they only give out 1 ticket per person.  So no mooching friends asking you to line for them.



Hubby and I were fortunate enough to get tickets to last night's screening of An Education (United Kingdom), starring Peter Sarsgaard and Carey Mulligen.  Just as I expected, I loved it. I'm so thankfully I get to be married to someone who is starting to share my passion for cinema.
