Pinoy movies

Misis: Mahal, favor naman. May malapit na Filipino store ba diyan sa 'yo?
Mister: Yep. May DS sa baba saka sa Manila Oriental. Bakit?
Misis: Bili mo naman ako ng Filipino DVD na comedy. 'Yung Tangina Ina.
Mister: O sige, sa off ko punta ako dun o kaya tanong ako kung saan may bilihan.

True to my word I bought Misis Tikboy a DVD today. After my meeting at downtown I immediately went back to South City and gave Kuya Lito a call. He picked me up at SSF Bart station and then we went to Daly City to check out the DVD collection at Karaoke Discount near Walgreens at the top of the hill. It is famous for Pinoy DVDs and most of the Filipinos here go there to buy them. I was disappointed with their collection. I was expecting an extensive collection of movies but I guess they offer only the "saleable" stuff. I bought Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat for $17.99. The online price is $19.99 at ABS-CBN''s Starry Starry Store. Good deal then.

So, this is another new discovery for me. Whenever Misis Tikboy requests for a Pinoy movie I could just ride the 390 bus and get off at Wendy's and cross the street going to Walgreens.

Hmmm.. sayang, if Misis Tikboy is here right now we could watch John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo's You Changed My Life movie here in San Francisco. Now I'll just watch out for the release of the DVD copy and then send it to Misis Tikboy.
