Oo, nakita ko sila kanina.

Apparently, they came to Dumaguete to shoot some of the scenes for their upcoming movie. Yes, it's that movie being advertised in ABS. I don't really know the title, all I know is, next month siya ipapalabas. Biruin mo, may trailer na ang movie nila eh hindi pa nga sila tapos magshooting! O well, it's never to early to start promoting nga naman.

This morning, there were rumors that the three of them were arriving today, some said it's true, some said sa end of the month daw. Since I wasnt really interested, I didnt bother to hear the real issue.

At 3pm, my tita texted me asking whether the rumors were true. I texted her back that I didnt really know whether it was true since I went home at 9am that morning since our class was postponed.While she was texting me, she and my mom were all around the city trying to find the site where they were shooting. Finally, my tita's friend who had connections with ABSCBN told her that the crew was planning to go to Shakey's para kumain since it was just across the boulevard where they were set to shoot a scene.

I was already in school when my tita got the message from her friend so they texted me to fetch my cousin in elementary school and meet them at Shakeys. Pagdating namin dun, ang dami nang tao sa boulevard kasi nagsimula na pala ang shooting. My cousin was bugging me to go with her to watch the shooting, but since Im not a fan nga, I told her to ask her mom or my mom nalang. And since both of our parents were excited, the three of them practically dragged me to go with them. So I had no choice. Since most of the people were on the streets and on the boulevard, we opted to stay at the entrance of Bethel Guest House since it was elevated. But when we got closer, nagkagulo ang mga tao, paalis na pala yung transpo nila. But since they were all crowded in the streets, nahirapang lumabas yung sasakyan nila so a lot of people had a chance to take pics kahit sa window langng sasakyan. And me, eto lang nakuha ko.



We thought it was over so we went back to Shakeys to continue eating. After a few minutes, napansin namin, di pa umaalis yung mga tao sa boulevard, at biglang nagkagulo ulit. Turns out, nagbreak lang pala sila then nagresume na naman sa shooting. So again, they all dragged me outside again. This time, they didnt settle for a distant view lang, talagang nakisingit na kami sa crowd. And since nandun din lang naman kami, pumunta na rin kami sa pinakaharap. -Sorry sa lahat ng inovertake-an namin- I started taking pictures with my fone kahit malayo. Zoom lang ng zoom. My cousin had a camera with her so she got better pics kasi may flash. But when the crew member saw us, she was like " Ay! Di po pwede yung may flash! Bawal po eh!" So yun, we had to settle for dim pictures since it was past 6pm na. For a moment there, I was quite confused with who's who. I actually thought Sam was Geoff Eigenman! After a few clicks, they had to back us off since magsisimula na yung scene where all of them were in a motorcycle and Sam & Bea were being chased by John Lloyd and his friends.





That was their last scene so after that, they packed up and left na, and so did the people.
While resizing the pics, I realized how stupid I am. I had a 2 megapixel fone but I didnt bother to use the biggest resolution! How stupid can I get?

Sam actually looked friendly. He was always smiling. And he was nice to his fans. Si Bea naman, ok lang. She barely smiled though. People barely noticed John Lloyd. All eyes were on Sam. Maybe because it wasn't his first time to come here na.

Tomorrow, they're scheduled to shoot at Hibbard Hall for Sam's concert scene (?) at 7am and the first 100 students to arrive there gets to be the extras. So I guess a lot of students will be going to school early tomorrow. Then they're going to shoot at the Luce grounds at 9am. I'll be in class the whole day tomorrow so I guess I'll be missing all the buzz in the campus.

It didn't really make me an instant fan of the actors but I guess I'll be watching the movie. Just to see how Dumaguete looks on big screen. So please, somebody tell me the title of their movie!!


Last but not the least:




============================================
[EDIT]

Ok, last night I thought I'd be missing all the buzz this morning since I had classes from 7am-4pm. But I was wrong.

Upon hearing about the shooting at the amphi theater, our instructor postponed our class for an hour just so we could watch them! How's that for a teacher?


This was the crowd when we arrived that morning, but it slwoly filled up an hour later.

The amphi theater was situated infront of Silliman church and unfortunately, there was a scheduled mass for High School students at 8am. So the film crew anounced that they'd have to wait for the mass to finish before they could start the "concert scene." But while the mass was going on, they told us they'd be filming a part of the concert scene but without Sam since they figured out everyone would be screaming if Sam was around and it would greatly distract the ongoing mass. So yung band members lang muna yung pinalabas nila and meeehhhhnnn ang gwapo nung guitarist! They started playing the music which Sam was supposedly playing with the band and asked the audience, including us, to act as if the concert was going on and Sam was infront. I didnt join, instead, I kept on taking pictures of the guitarist. hehehe bahala na si Sam, I want the guitarist!






Sorry but most of my pictures are of this guy and not Sam. hehehe (obviously, he's the one in brown shirt)


After a while, Bea and John Lloyd came out coz they were about to shoot a scene.




The mass took so long to finish that our classmate texted us to go back to the classroom na since we were gonna start our class. We went back to class without seeing Sam or the concert scene. But I was totally fine with it. Ok nako sa guitarist. hehehe

During lunch time, Suzzie and I ate at the caf and we found out that they were supposed to have lunch there too. I dont know why they suddenly had change of plans and decided to have lunch at the alumni hall instead. After eating, lumabas na sila and went straight to their vehicles getting ready to leave. Kami naman, lumabas na rin sa caf kahit ang daming tao sa labas. On our way out, we stopped at the gate so that we can see their vehicles pass by. FORTUNATELY, traffic sa daan so their vehicle had to stop at the gate, RIGHT INFRONT OF US!!! I was shocked so I just stared at the guy (another guitarist) at the window, after a few seconds, seeing me and Suzzie with blank faces, he smiled at me so we smiled back. hahaha! I didnt know what to do. Oh well, that was about it. Nothing more, nothing less.

the other guitarist guy is the one with curly hair

Now Im definitely gonna watch that movie. Not because of Sam, Bea or John Lloyd and not because I want to see my school on big screen. I wanna see the guitarist! I'm not sure, but I think his name is Chris. Ewan ko lang coz I never really had the guts to approach him and have my picture taken with him. Now I regret not doing it. :(
