So far, I've already written 818 posts on the site for the past 17 years. And I only managed to pin 280 of them in the map, not counting the fact that some posts featured multiple places! 😂

Finally gotten around to watching Spider-Man: Bran Finally gotten around to watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day. And yes, I'm dressed for the occasion, lol.

I originally wanted to watch it on Screen X but the the schedules available did not match mine and if there were, the seats available were near the screen too much. I instead decided to watch it at SM's Directors Club cinema, my first time watching a movie at such venue. If anything, I love the reclining seats and USB charging ports. 

There were some things I found lacking at the cinema but at this point, I’m too tired to care. and I just wanted to see a movie.
