He Who Controls the Spice

I tried to make the most out of my time at home by playing music and having good food, but it was still mostly a lonely affair. I mostly focused on finishing tickets for work. Once work was done, I breathed a really big sigh of relief as the week was FINALLY OVER!

I had never been that hyped for a weekend before, honestly. But this work week was just horrible, straight up. Pure shit. I hated every single day of this week but I'm about to make it all up to myself by enjoying the evening by watching Dune: Part Two. I packed up my things after work and headed straight to Venice Grand Plaza. When I got there, I just hung around and walked around the mall.

By the time I got to the theater, I was glad because I bought a ticket to the most expensive theater room. The seats were so comfortable, and only for 620 Pesos. I even got a free promotional tumbler (granted, it was a The Marvels-themed one, but still, free tumbler) and if I factor the tumbler, free popcorn into the cost, the actual ticket would be around 300 Pesos or so. Definitely a steal considering the type of seat I got. Someone actually was supposed to sit to the left of me, because the seats had a couple design, but I'm pretty sure they felt awkward sitting next to a total stranger, so it was funny to see them shuffle to the next available seat.

When the movie started, I could say that I was in awe of the film. It's kind of poetic, 4 years ago I by myself walking around Venice Grand Plaza where I saw a poster for a movie titled "Dune." I went into it blind, not knowing what it was or what it was about, and I really enjoyed it. Here's me, 2 years and a few months later at the same theater, same place, watching Dune: Part Two. I found myself back here again, which was a total surprise.

I thoroughly enjoyed the film, went home, and even ordered some food and necessities at a nearby convenience store. That ended my night and this day was my actual well-needed break from such a shitty week.
