So I met up with J at Jolibee and we went to F's house while waiting for M to arrive. When we were at F's house he was ready with his outfit and all which is always a sight to see. Then M arrived and we smuggled the shotgun in. So suspicious! Once everyone was ready, we all enjoyed our jolly somewhat raining trip towards J's farm.
It's unfortunate that it started to rain so in the end we had to wait in the car and they guys started talking about some old cat show where they have rockets but they live in a garbage dump area. I didn't join in because I guess I wasn't born to experience that moment, haha..
When the rain stopped we set off to do the "interview" section of the movie where I was supposedly going to be slapped. I was quite excited because it's my first time to do a slap scene. So we rehearsed a bit and tried to do a couple of fake slap that'll look real but so far our attempts sucked. In the end I convinced F to slap me for real to make it look real. And he did. And it looked good.
Basically the scene is that F is Nigel Bushwanker who is looking for the manananggal so he can kill it but the guide --played by me-- doesn't believe in the creature. That's when he'll slap me, pans camera to him, and he'll shout "you gotta believe!" with his fake Australian accent. Cuts back to me, in shock, saying that I believe in the supernatural being.
Of course F isn't the type of person that hits a woman so first he just pushed my face to the side and we all agreed that it didn't look powerful enough. So, the second time, he slapped me a bit harder but he felt bad and started laughing when he said his line. Awww... he started to apologize and I had to convince him that it was okay. I could've sworn he started tearing up...hmm...
We did more shooting here and there while there's a group that's doing their pre-wedding pictures. They were all dressed up and happy looking. Congratulations, I guess.. Then we all went to another area to go to a hill with a tree where we had to hike up this .. farm area where J grows his aloe vera.. I told them that Indonesians call them "crocodile tongue".. they laughed at me.. :p
It was funny coz J pointed to the right where the tree was at. "That's where we'll be going." Then he lead us to a path going to the left so we were all like, "what? we don't go left to go right." But apparently the path curved to the right so.. yeah..
The climb was pretty dangerous because it there wasn't any proper road and we're just stepping on rocks that are buried within the wet soil. F and M had a hard time going up saying that it's all slippery and stuff. I didn't really have a hard time but they were saying it's because I was much much lighter than both of them. I think they were just giving excuses for being lame.
When we arrived at the tree, it was time where I need to be the manananggal so I acted like my upper torso just landed on my hips and once that was done, I had to be wrapped with blue cloth, like really, tuck in my shirt and then tuck in the blue cloth so in the end I'm surrounded by a blue cloth with the help of M. I couldn't see and I wasn't allowed to move around much otherwise it'll be too hard to key out.
Then comes the dying scene which is simply me getting shot by Nigel Bushwanker and jump off screen. Good thing M was there because he sat down near me and catches me as I fall down. First attempt was lame and slow. It looked fake. Then again it was just for practice. The next couple of time was faster and sometimes I was shocked that when I jumped back someone was there to catch me. Weird, but I was always surprised when suddenly M grabbed me because for some reason, I imagined myself to simply land carefully after I jumped unknowingly backwards.
Once we were done with everything, we carefully slipped back downhill from where we came from -- which was actually more dangerous because it rained again making it more slippery -- and by the time I was done with that trip, the bottom of my sandal was caked with mud so I had to scrape it by doing that srrt srrt walk. Can't seem to remember the english word for it..
We finished around 6pm and they treated me dinner too! It was such a fun experience since I got to hike up and got slapped and killed. But now I have pain on my leg every time I walk. I think it was because of the climb.
Watch it, it's really funny. Nigel Bushwanker signing out.
