Vince, moms and I saw Caregiver, the movie, last night. Normally, it wouldn’t be the type of Pinoy flick my husband would want to watch since it didn’t have Toni Gonzaga or Bea-John Lloyd in it…(ops? sorry B..hehe) But he obliged us since mom had expressed wanting to see it since they started airing the trailer on TFC. It was only going to be shown at Stonestown UA Theater and none of us have been there before. My brother warned us of the Mariz-type atmosphere of the place. I couldn’t relate since I haven’t been inside those "type" of movie houses. Vince explained and I understood as soon as we got in.

Being inside the theater, I recalled our old sinehans in Iloilo. Just the ones I’ve been to at least…My memories include watching Shake Rattle and Roll movies and Tyanak at Cinema…I also remember having to run for my life a few times because of threats of bomb, fire and due to someone merely shouting "Inaway Ta!"…I remember chaperoning a cousin at Allegro. I felt awkward sitting next to them and pretended not to listen to their corny and pacute conversations…My husband on the other hand, shared how he was able to watch adult films as early as grade school at the "other" movie houses I dare not mention.

(will add more to this post…or maybe not)
