stuffing myself with horror movies: in anticipation of what's to come in our banahaw trip this weekend

but of course, i'm excited. our team has been planning this for several weeks now and finally, we only have a few days left before i offer them to the spirits of the mountain we have our first vacation of the year. it makes me happy that we're going to a mountain and not to a beach. it's just appropriate, i mean, it's almost holy week and that's what people do: go to mountains. and don't ask me why.

heniways, i heard that the activities of spirits and elementals are strong in those areas where we're going. and of course, i'm excited. i heard some people there talk about spirits like they're your everyday chismosa (gossipy) -- they huddle to where the excitement is (my teammate jb told us). the spirits and i may get along well but i prefer not to, because they may want me to stay there forever and i prefer to live in the city.

so.

to prepare for what may happen in case they would like to abduct me (or my teammates, who, i assume, wouldn't like that at all), i have watched several ghost/paranormal movies. so far, these are what i've learned:

1. don't video tape. they like attention so they'd probably make a bigger scene like throwing objects and such (see paranormal activity 1 and 2).

2. when shampooing, ensure that what you're putting in your head is really shampoo and not sticky blood full on maggots (see kuntilanak kamar mayat).

3. bring heavy weapons like guns or axe. just in case there's a zombie attack (uhm, resident evil?).

4. if you hear a noise like the "blag blag blag" sound, run. that's probably how it's gonna sound when the spirits assault you later (see the grudge).

5. and when you come face to face with your doppelganger, ignore it. unless you want to chat.

well, if you seek advise on what to do in case you foresee interaction with the supernatural kind, just leave you questions in the comment section. i'm sure i've watched some horror movie before and can share with you what those who didn't die in the movie did. otherwise, i'll have to consult my 7 year old nephew, bill. he is a big fan of horror movies too.
