Northern Roadtrip 2013 - Wimpy's (Subic) and the Longgggg Ride Home

Before trekking home, I insisted on having some Starbucks. We were leaving Subic at 5:30PM, and had to stay awake to make sure we were heading the right direction. The kids bought some cream-based choco frappes and goodies as well. 




J remembered last minute that we needed to drop by Wimpy's, a super old establishment a la Wendy's/ Tropical Hut. I think we both haven't tried it, but J knew about it for a long time. It's super old school, and was one of the few noncommercial establishments left in the area.
Ta-da!

Yummy combo meals, similar to Tropical Hut style. Very friendly staff. And yes, the burgers were tasty.
Our gorgeous view from SCTEX.

 
I read out on a blog somewhere to drop by the Nike Factory Store along the North Expressway on the way home. Here's a shot of it from the outside. It was worth the stopover! Items were still currently available in the mall stores, but they were about 20-30% off the prices. Adidas was near it too, and their rates were also very cheap. Plus they had a lot of interesting selections, especially from the Adidas Porsche series, that are hard to find! Would love to visit this again next time!

Anyways, we got home around 10PM, so it took us about 4 hours to get home, including the stopover. Lonngggg drive home!

SM Arena Ticketnet -- When You Lose Your Tickets

Image
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with SM Tickets / SM Arena. As I had mentioned in my previous pos t, I was not looking forward to celebrating my 30th Birthday. J, with much struggle , tried to find me other gifts, but I persuaded him to just get me the cheapest Aerosmith tickets available. I mean, what were the chances that Aerosmith was coming the eve of my birthday? They MUST be meant for me! The cheapest tickets were quite expensive at P2,600 each, considering they were GA, and he offered to buy more expensive ones. I didn't think it was practical though, since we had just paid a lot of money for tuitions in Woodrose and Zobel.  So he bought the GA tickets at Southmall, handed them over to me, and that was that. And then, I lost the tickets. That night, I was using a Cambridge satchel bag. I placed the tickets on the front pocket as soon as J handed it over to me. By the next day, the tickets had gone missing. Everything was inside the bag -- except the

Hotel Transylvania, Wreck It Ralph

Image
It's been a great stream of cartoon movies recently. The kids and I watched Hotel Transylvania few weeks back (it was impromptu, on a school day!) and it was really, really great. It was a touching story about a father's love for his daughter, and how he wants to shelter her from the bad world (humans). The comedy was right on the money, and adults and children alike were laughing out loud in the theatre. No slapstick comedy in that movie! We would love to watch it again. Interesting note, the voices behind this movie were Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez,  Andy Samberg (SNL), and Kevin James (of Zookeeper fame). Today we watched Wreck it Ralph. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, us or the kids. Probably us. If you used to play Nintendo games as a kid (i.e. during the time of Pacman, Sonic, Mario Brothers, Street Fighter), you will love this movie because the characters of these games make cameo appearances all throughout. Our kids couldn't really appreciate the appearanc

Meat Plus Cafe (Subic)

I was heavily dependent on my Samsung S4 during this road trip. For some reason, J's Iphone gave my zilch information in Baguio on its map, while the S4 gamely showed us the places to eat in the map and reviews! I had just bought it a few days ago through my old Globe plan, and it came in really handy during this trip.
