フィリピン映画館でミュージカル♪【バギオ留学62日目🫛】

昨日の夜は、1:00過ぎまで友達とトランプや英語しりとり。

めちゃくちゃ楽しんだ！

朝は7:50起床。

久しぶりにしっかり寝れた感じで、気分爽快。

朝ごはんを食べ、自習をしてから、【SM City Baguio】の映画館へ。

徒歩35分ほど。

ミュージカル映画【Wicked】のチケットは370ペソ。

ポップコーンとジュースも買って準備万端。

フィリピンの映画館は、

・各シアタールームの横にお手洗いがあるため、気軽に行ける

・各シアタールームに入るときに水を一本もらえる

・映画泥棒や広告などがなく、時間になるとすぐに本編が始まる

というところが日本と違う点で、ありがたい！！

映画は、力強さ、美しさ、フレンドシップが印象的で、ハンカチを忘れたことを後悔。

2時間40分があっという間に過ぎ、「To be continued」で締めくくられ、続きへの期待が膨らむ。

映画の後は、あちこちを回ってレターセット探し。

なぜかかわいい手帳やノートばかりで、デザイン性のあるレターセットは見当たらない…。

諦めて、お菓子を買い、歩いて帰宅。

自習をしていたら、今週入学した男の子が、大学の後輩ということがわかり、盛り上がる。

18:00にいつのもメンバーで集合し、ステーキハウス【Sizzling Plate Leonard Wood】へ。

Java Riceはいまいちなものの、お肉はしっかり美味しい！

一旦学校に戻り、みんなで人狼をしてから、【The Terminal Resto Cafe】で韓国人、台湾人の友達とお酒を飲む。

広くて綺麗で、過ごしやすいバー！

その後、【Hotline Bar】のクラブ感に圧倒され、数分で退店し、学校に戻る。

スマホをなくした友達が行方不明で、学校中を探しまくる午前2:00。

心配しつつ、どうしようもなくて眠りにつく。

A Day of Fun, Friendship, and Unexpected Worries

Last night, I stayed up past 1:00 a.m., playing cards and English word chains with my friends.

It was so much fun!

I woke up at 7:50 a.m., feeling like I’d finally had a good rest in a while and refreshed.

After breakfast and a quick study session, I decided to walk to SM City Baguio, about 35 minutes away, to watch the musical movie Wicked.

The ticket cost 370 pesos, and I treated myself to popcorn and juice before heading into the theater.

Filipino movie theaters are quite different from those in Japan:

・Each theater has a restroom nearby, making it convenient.
・You’re given a bottle of water upon entering.
・There are no ads or previews; the movie starts right on time.

These differences were so thoughtful, and I really appreciated them!

The movie was stunning

—its strength, beauty, and themes of friendship left a deep impression.

I regretted not bringing a handkerchief.

The 2 hours and 40 minutes flew by, and the movie ended with “To be continued,” leaving me eagerly anticipating the sequel.

Afterward, I browsed the stores in search of a stylish letter set but only found cute planners and notebooks.

Slightly disappointed, I bought some snacks and walked home.

During my study session later, I discovered that a boy who had just enrolled this week was a junior from my university.

We were both excited to make the connection!

At 6 p.m., our usual group met up for dinner at [Sizzling Plate Leonard Wood].

The Java Rice was so-so, but the meat was delicious!

Afterward, we played Werewolf at school and then headed out to [The Terminal Resto Cafe] for drinks with our Korean and Taiwanese friends.

The bar was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable!

Later, we briefly visited [Hotline Bar], but the club-like atmosphere felt overwhelming, so I returned to school after a few minutes.

Back at school, I learned that my friend had lost his smartphone and was missing.

Worried, I searched all over the campus until 2 a.m.

Unable to do much more, I finally went to bed, still concerned.
