I survived The Green Inferno

Imagine the horror of a plane crash and waking up realizing your fears being marooned in the wild Amazon forest completely at the mercy of cannibals. I'm a big fan of gory movies and I got so excited when my cousin invited me to watch the advance screening of The Green Inferno last September 21. The movie was directed by Eli Roth who wrote and directed the American horror-thriller movie Hostel.

New York college student Justine (Lorenza Izzo), a lawyer's daughter, meets a student activist named Alejandro (Ariel Levy) when he goes on a hunger strike on behalf of underpaid janitors. Smitten, Justine agrees to help Alejandro undertake his next project: to save the Amazon. She soon learns to regret her decision when their plane crashes in the Peruvian jungle and she and the rest of their group are taken captive by a tribe of hungry cannibals. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Inferno_(film)

 Gore scenes of the characters' bodies mangled and eaten by hordes of cannibals in festive are what make the film every inch an Eli Roth. What will make you cringe in the movie was the scene where the female lead character Justine was painted and tied by the cannibals to perform their FGM ritual on, or to mutilate her clitoris. A culture being practiced on women in some parts of the world.

Apparently, the acclaimed horrorfilm director got smitten by the scream queen Lorenza Izzo. And they got married on the beach in Zapallar, Chile before the official release of The Green Inferno.

El Chupacabra @ Makati Avenue

Rip roaring night and reckless socializing with all the wrong people. (Insert smiley) It was fun hopping from one bar to another having a night full of laughter and atavistic talks with my BI friends-best influence. 

My guy friend decided to treat us and he brought us to El Chupacabra, Makati Ave. The place serves Mexican food, his favorite no doubt. Inside, it was dim lighted and it had the atmosphere like of a secret underground pub in a country that bans alcohol.

I didn't wanna drink, 'cos I'd be eating. But since my friends are pushing me I felt obliged to append. 

I ordered a glass of Baileys haha. Probably the sweetest mix I've had and didn't even taste any hint of alcohol. 

This Mexican Cantina is famous for their burritos and street tacos. Avcorz! 

Our spread, with candle light effect. 

All the good stuff. Pretty worth the price. 

So Mexican. Chupacabra when translated means 'goat sucker'. The name came from a legendary cryptid, rumored to inhabit parts of Americas. Why the place is named after it? I know nothing about.

Being with my funny friends is like being free from stress and work curtailing my social life. 

Their interesting bar drinks and cocktails one can heat up.
