What started out as a diversion of sorts for F. Sionil Jose, Solidaridad has evolved into this cultural, intellectual hub whose legacy is kept secure in spite of Jose’s passing.

One time game show contestant, oft-time urban roamer. I have nothing much to say, I'm the quiet one...which is probably why I take photos too much.

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! 😂

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.
