Solo Mio!

Today was the day I finally decided to watch Solo Mio (2026) on the big screen. My day started with me FINALLY publishing my remaining mood calendar entries for February. I got out of Starbucks 32nd Street at around 1 a.m. and I felt so hungry. Fortunately, there was an Army Navy restaurant nearby, along with some other 24/7 restaurants. I decided to get my usual order: a naked sisig burrito and it was really good. It totally hit the spot and was the best way I treated myself after completing such a slogfest that happened yesterday. I booked a car ride home since it wasn't that expensive anyway, and personally, I just wanted to relax. I arrive home okay and I chill for a bit since I just ate and didn't want my acid reflux to hit that bad, and I eventually slept just fine.

In the morning, I woke up for a bit and talked to Mon and someone for a while. I mostly talked to Mon and she did such a cute thing of preparing to me a playlist full of chill love songs, and I told her that I'll be listening to it later today and she'd add some more songs later. I was feeling so tired so I slept for a while as I charged my devices.

When I woke up, I believe I had overslept because I was only planning to sleep until noon, but now it's around 1:20 p.m. and I woke up to several messages from Mon and someone. I talked to Mon and messaged her back and forth throughout the afternoon and also checked in with her for a bit. We mostly talked about how she's used Photoshop in the past and she showed me some pics, which were funny. I packed up and booked a ride to Glorietta then went to Greenbelt to watch Solo Mio at 6 p.m. Since I haven't had any food since breakfast, I decided that I would eat at Sumo Niku and it was such a weird feeling eating there alone because I'm always with another friend when I'm eating there. I actually didn't have much time left and I was contemplating on whether or not I should rush my food to go see the 6 p.m. showing in Greenbelt, or just miss it and book for another ticket at 8 p.m. in Glorietta. I decided against rushing things and I actually got to have more time to talk to Mon about things, and she also got to know more about my journal and stuff. She told me that I should write more about happy days or how X specific day stood out from the rest, which was pretty nice. I don't think I've ever had a friend give me that perspective, so that was super cute and sweet of her.

We kept talking and I eventually left Sumo Niku to go buy a ticket. While I was buying a ticket, the cashier gave out a seat to me, and then burped really loud and even cursed, which was funny. We both laughed it off and I told her that she should drink more water. But that interaction was funny. I got my ticket and ate at Auntie Anne's, and then grabbed a cooke from MO' Cookies near the cinemas. Going to the Glorietta food court on a non-workday felt so weird and strange. This place is familiar to me, but not anymore since my brain associates it with working. It's crazy. I was able to keep talking to Mon and she showed me a few things that she planned to do tomorrow and I got in the cinema and it was extremely empty. Mon got some sleep at this time and she told me to enjoy the movie.

The movie was honestly really nice! It was so fun, it's been a total while since I've had fun and laughed at jokes in the movie. For a while, I felt immersed and the seat I was in was actually pretty good. I thought I'd be alone, but thankfully other people came in, even though there weren't a lot of them. I really enjoyed the movie and it's the best one I've seen so far in 2026.

For the ride home, it was kind of scary. I got locked out of Glorietta, for the first time ever. I had to walk over from another exit all the way back to the pickup point and then the driver kept talking to me on the way home about the weirdest topics. He sounded drunk, but didn't seem that much drunk to me. It was totally weird but, all in all, I got home safe and I enjoyed me day out.
