A WHAT?!

I may not be able to tell you where I am but I definitely want to tell you what happened today!

I was sitting in the van travelling between locations. When I got up to get out the van, suddenly my director gasped...

"Sasha! You're back is bleeding!"

WHAT??!!! WHY??!!

After a little chaos, trying to figure out why I had this huge wet blood stain the size of my palm on the back of my shirt, I wasn't in pain at all.... the cause was discovered...

A LEECH!!! Also known in Malay as pacat....

I had no idea the little parasite had it's fill from my back, left me bleeding and after a little searching, the little horror was found on the floor of the van.... all filled up!!! GROSS!!!! SICK!!!

This is my first experience with a leech.... and though it did not cause any pain at all, because of the size of the blood stain, I couldn't be shot or the rest of the day from my left side... the camera always had to be angled to my right...

Sigh.... just another day shooting on location.... the show must go on!
