a date with the giants


i called my sister late in the afternoon to ask if she and the kids are free for dinner. i came over to their place and we went together to sm city. we checked the movies at the cinema and half-decided to see "Jack, the giant slayer". 

we had a hearty dinner and halo-halo for dessert at the food court. out of a sudden, kikay asked about the time. it was a quarter to 8 and without any second thoughts we left the food court and headed back to the cinema.

honestly, i was a little skeptic about the movie adaptation of the fairytale. plus, i was afraid that it wouldn't be suitable for the kids. the scenes might cause them nightmares. i actually asked them several times if they seriously want to see the movie.  after several times that i got yes-es from them, i finally bought our tickets.

once we were settled on our seats, we were carried away to the far-away place where a farm boy named jack, accidentally opened a gateway to the land of the giants and fought them to save princess isabelle and the kingdom.

i'm happy that my niece and nephew enjoyed the movie even though they screamed and squirmed at scenes that caught them by surprise. they were still talking about it while we were waiting for the jeepney. they kept on recalling their favorite scenes and characters.

as for me, my favorite character is elmont, the leader of the kingdom's guards.
