bulacan location

this house is 150 years old. enough said.
















I thought this turkey was gonna kill me. i'm not joking. never underestimate the powers of large birds.
...nor should one ever underestimate a pig the size of a small elephant!

back home...

i'm back in TO....trapped in the foggy haze of a sleeping-pill induced (unsuccessful) attempt at warding off jetlag, but home, nonetheless. i've still got a ton of photos from the bulacan location to post so do look out for the updates. despite not being physically present in the philippines for the remainder of the shoot, i will be posting the photos shot by the set photographers, Zal and Patok. to anyone from the cast and crew peeping at this blog....i miss you all and i SO wish i was still there. by the way, i left my shades on set so if anyone finds them, Toni-girl can have them :)

paco park cemetary and chapel

the funeral scene was shot here, obviously. very creepy spot...


from this to this


this was a 5 hour process which culminated with caroline lying in a coffin for a 30-second shot. any longer and she probably would have fainted from a panic attack. eeks.


everyone's best friend, jojo

here's darrel with jojo, my parents' driver. jojo has been responsible for driving my pampered ass all around manila and beyond. much love, he's the fucking best. jojo is also, i might add, responsible for propelling darrel towards his first autograph session with the local village teenage girls who were hanging around the set. they actually had no idea who he was, they just wanted his autograph cuz apparently he was "cute enough to look like an actor." they didn't know till later that he really was. hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
