The esposo and I had another round of our #NotYourTypicalDateNight series last Friday. It was a movie date, showing no less than the Iron Man. I’m not sure when our last cinema date was, I’m guessing years ago. I do not know that a movie pass costs P200 on a regular cinema now. #MissingMyMTRCBPass. Oh well, what makes this date not the typical one was the fact that we bought our last-full-show’s tickets a night before the screening. We wanted to be responsible parents 1st and sneak like teenagers later, so we secured a ticket before hand. lol
So that Friday, after office, we went home as usual. Not giving the kids a hint, we performed our usual parental routine, which includes eating dinner and giving them night-bath, among others. We wanted to put the kiddos to bed as early as possible so we could be on time with our 20:25 movie date, but our Uno might have felt something and stayed awake after all the bedtime stories. When I realized we were running late, I decided to be honest with her. I told her, “Baby, go to sleep, Nanay and Tatay will go out and watch movie”. She said, “Okay Nanay, go out”. I never thought my girl was not as hard to deal with as my parents way back. Haha
So off we go to the movie house. Mi esposo was still anticipating for an extra scene after the full length movie, so we waited until all the credits rolled up, maybe about 5 minutes and true enough a bonus scene came out. It was a little over 5 seconds and says nothing about what he's anticipating, a possible part 4. He was frustrated.
The movie was great, btw, funny and all.
The photo above was taken at the parking. The esposo was astonished by the look of our car that he can’t resist say it out loud, he even took a photo of it. He never took any of his gorgeous wife’s (ehem) stunning (ehem, ehem) OOTDs mind you. I playfully squeezed myself in to destroy the moment. lol
I laugh to myself when I saw the photo. I thought, was this an act of responsible parents? Would a loving father be mesmerized by the charm of a toy? And would a caring mother breaks all the fun?
That’s what I like best about “us”, we’re parents yet we’re also children.

Well that's what makes any relationship still burn! When we're still silly and child-like with our partners and laugh like we're in high school then that's healthy! :)
ReplyDeleteWe especially like to kid around each other. Which I think is good because it keeps us young looking.hehe
Delete200 for a movie?! Ang mahal na pala! It was less than 100 the last time I watched a movie in the Philippines, but it was almost half a decade ago. Hehehe. :)
ReplyDeleteI was surprised too, or maybe because it's Iron Man.
DeleteIt always nice to go out with hubby for weekends date. Watching movie together is just so SWEET! bringing those fun memories,,kilig:)
ReplyDeleteIf movie date isn't that costly, it would definitely be our regular relaxation habit.
DeleteMahal na nga ang tickets. The last movie mommy and I watched it the movie of john lloyd and luis. Forgot the title. hehehe
ReplyDeleteAh, yung kasama si Vilma? Ang galing ni Mommy Maye ah, naconvince ka sa local movie.
DeleteSecond the motion on -ang galing ni mommy maye! hubby does not like filipino movies.i like that john lloyd luis movie pala
DeleteKaya nga pag local movie abang lang ako sa Cinema 1 eh.
Deletehaven't seen iron man3 yet; patatapusin muna ang electoral campaign haha
ReplyDeletekinilig naman ako sa date nyo
It's okay. I'm sure matagal pa yan sa sinehan, kampanya muna. Go Teddy!
DeleteYay, 200 na ang movie pass? Hay, the last we watched a movie, I can't remember when lol, the movie pass was just 100 pesos. Anyway, I'm so inggit because you can have a movie date. We are working overtime kasi with our MTOs. I am honestly so tired. If I just don't love crocheting maybe I have already quit na.
ReplyDeleteMatagal na din huli namin, we can't even remember. Kaya nga ngulat din ako sa 200 eh, regular pa yon, what more kung 3D cinemas.
DeleteIt's always nice to go out on date night to the movies.. we are allowed to be a child at times too :)
ReplyDeleteWhen the kids are away, the parent becomes the kid.hehe
DeleteI haven't seen Iron Man yet. Last weekend ayaw ako ilabas ni boyfriend and my parents also advised against it. If it's still showing this weekend I hope i can finally watch it then. Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's still showing. I think it is a must see movie.
DeleteI feel that I'm the only person who hasn't watched Ironman. I want to experience it on 3d. :)
ReplyDeleteNaku, 3D cinemas cost P400 sa Trinoma. Pero I'm sure it's worth it.
Deleteoh yeah! I want to experience that muna. Better if it's with F6.. :)
Deleteaww... it's ok to go on dates a few times. you need that to keep the romance alive :)
ReplyDeleteOo nga eh, that's why we grab every possible opportunity.
DeleteAng taray naman ni Ms. L nyo, very understanding ha. :)
ReplyDeleteKami rin naghintay sa 10-second scene na yun after the credits. Sana may Iron Man 4, I want more of Robert Downey, Jr. + or - the anxiety attack. Haha.
Gulat nga din ako sa sagot nya eh.hehe Part 4 probably meron nang Iron Man Jr., featuring the cute kid in Part 3.hehe
DeleteCouple time is important I think to excite things kahit may kids pa kayo. Hope you enjoyed yourselves :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with a wink. =)
Deleteyoure little girl seems to be mature already. Imagine she wants us to enjoy her mommy and that she doesnt want to go pa..i admire your time for the relationship which i think is important.
ReplyDeleteActually, when we were dressed she said she wanted to come with us. But when I said she can't because she don't have ticket, she did not insist.
DeleteAwww, you guys are so cute! Maganda nga yan no, regular date nights. We might do that in the future! But you should make your hubby take OOTD pics! :D
ReplyDeleteIt's not really that regular, but we try at least once a month. Naku yang OOTD na yan ang mahirap ipilit, mas may chance pa ang date night kesa sa OOTD.hehe
Deletethe coolest part of the movie was the 40 plus ironman he made. i love robert dawney jr.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like most was when he destroyed it all. Instant fireworks display. =)
Deletewow, sweet!
ReplyDeletesometimes we also do that, stealing a date haha
Nakaka-guilty din kasi iwan yung kids eh, especially that we technically leaves them the whole day because of work.
DeleteIt's good to know that you can take some time for yourselves as a couple. sweet bonding moment. :)
ReplyDeleteParang refresh button din ang couple time.
DeleteMy guess is there will be a part 4 of Iron Man... Feel ko lang hehehe... Glad you enjoyed your date. Married couples should always do that in whatever season in their marriage, even if they are already old. They should always have time for just the 2 of them, kasi time will come when the kids would move out eh...
ReplyDeleteNaku, madaming matutuwa sa prediction mo. I agree and hope we continue to find time and enjoy our couple time till eternity.
DeleteI can't remember the last time my husband and I went out on a movie date too! All i know was that I was already pregnant then and my baby inside my tummy was jumping and kicking because of the loud sounds he hears. hahaha! anyway, that's a cute movie date you had. it's really important to make some time with each other to keep the fire burning. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was watching I realized I made a good decision not to bring my 2 year old. Sobrang ingay sa loob, I'm sure hindi nya maa-appreciate.
DeleteAng kulit naman. Stay in love and child-like inside! :)
ReplyDeleteFountain of youth ang pagiging child-like. Basta hindi childish diba?hehe
DeleteThat's cute... I like the picture too..classy..even responsible parents needs to have fun! God bless!
ReplyDeleteHow cute that you two went on a much needed date. Ang pagtanda nasa thinking mo lang yan naman. Pag inisip mo matanda ka na, tatanda ka talaga.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. =)
DeleteI think me and hubby are more of you and your hubby. Parents but then still kids. Especially my hubby who really takes an effort to make asar anyone.
DeleteMasaya din naman yung may kulitan moments eh. My husband is definitely like yours, kaya nga parang bunso ko siya eh, mas maharot pa sa mga anak namin pag playtime eh.hehe
DeleteIron Man 3 was really entertaining and very exciting! I watched it with my hubby too, and really, date nights are so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI think Iron Man 3 is my favorite amongst the three series. It unexpectedly funny.
DeleteI wish my Angel is like your Uno. Angel is still very clingy at 4 years old. We also watched Iron Man 3 but the whole family went. It was good but Angel fell asleep towards the end.
ReplyDeleteSanay kasi siya na nagpapaalam ako especially every time we go to office, sanay sna siguro. I also thought of bringing her with us, pero sure ako hindi pa nya ma-appreciate, sayang bayad.hehe
DeleteI didn't know moviegoing was that expensive already. It's been ages since I watched a movie. I think hubby was still a boyfriend in the last one I wanted to see.
ReplyDeleteOo nga eh, we were childless pa yata when we last saw a movie, that was about 2 years ago. I didn't know it's that expensive na din.
DeleteP200 na pala ang movie ngayon. I wonder magkano kaya dito sa CDO?
ReplyDeleteThat's Trinoma Cinema price ah, parang mas mura yata sa province. Not sure though.
Deletemy son is saddened as we miss watching the Ironman3.. by the way nice photo of you with the car :-)
ReplyDeleteYou can always download it *wink*. Thanks.
DeleteHayy, I missed Iron Man 3. Mommies, do you ever experience this? Hubby does not like watching filipino movies?
ReplyDeleteAy naku, a LOT! Kahit Cinema 1 ayaw, ang arte kala mo ka-gwapuhan..hehe
DeleteMissed the Iron Man 3 so I don't have any idea about it right now. Perhaps I'll just watch it when a DVD copy comes out. Well parents like us need some time off and dating together with our spouses are just one of those missed moments. Great that you enjoyed your date.
ReplyDeleteHubby actually planned to download this movie, ewan ko ba, sudden change of hearts. But now that he learned how expensive cinema ticket was, he swore to download everything nalang.hehe
