Entomophobia

Last night was ruff!!


I couldnt get much sleep last nite, as there was this UGLY INSECT near my bed, and i refused to enter my room. I've always made sure that my room's bugless...but, 1 managed to get in

And so, i didnt have any aerosol spary as I wasnt prepared for the situation, so I used hair spray instead, approaching in cautiously, i gave erm like 10 sprays....
Then it moved a bit, flickering its wings. The hair spray acts to hold hair by hardening, I guess its wings were hardened. So I left it for a while, hoping it would just die....

To ensure it's dead, I sprinkled some cologned on it...
Bad idea, the alcohol breaks the bonds in the hair spray, without me realizing, the Insect was slowly breaking free from its "Hydrogen Bondage".

I thought of killing it by burning it with my hairdryer on "Hot" and also the heat would enhance the strength of the bonds. Turning my hairdryer on, I found it not working! What a fuck! I used it that morning and it was hunky-dory!

Cursing, I was about to run down to the kitchen and fetch a can of aerosol, It took flight!
The moment that happened, I fell backwards in fright!
Not injured, I got up and evaded the thing zooming around my head. The mere sight of it made the hairs on my hand stand!

Then it settled down on the blinds. (Vertically positioned). I sprayed it once again with the hairspray (20 sprays this time!)

I saw it struggling, then without a sign, It fell to the floor so fast that I got another shock and jumped backwards.
It then disappeared from view. I was DEAD afraid to go look for where it had fallen. What if it got up and flew to my face?

So I decided not to sleep in my room tonight. Went downstairs to find it uncomfortable to sleep on the couch. After 1 hour, I went back up. It was still missing. I knew I had to sleep as I was very sleepy at that time. So i quickly jumped onto bed, and pulled the covers over my, and made sure no part of me was exposed to the DANGER outside the sheets.

It was very hot and uncomfortable sleeping like that, was a tad hard to breathe as well.
I knew better than to turn off the light as some time ago, A flying beetle landed on my head and clutched my hair after i turned off the lights and clambered into bed.
I left the lights on. But when I was sleepin, I pulled the covers below my head so I can breathe. and thinking that mom would lecture me for leaving the light on, I got up and turned it off.

This afternoon, I went to the store and bought a can of aerosol, meant for cockroaches rather than mosquitos. And I got my maid to give me the Zapper Racquet. I shall not and can not allow another breach.

Now as I sit here in my room and type out this story, the whereabouts of that THING is still unknown. My maid said she didnt see any insects while cleaning this morning. Odd...

I know it's in here somewhere......
It's only a matter of time before the hydrogen bonds are broken by the moist in the air. And the creature is set free. Or has it already broken? and was it just waiting for me to turn off the lights? It could be watchin me right now! Planing the night...

I have my weapons. I shall win. Tonight's a fight for territory. I, representing entomophobics and that beast representing the nematoideae.


This bug is assumed to be a bettle. I shall assume it to be an Enaphalodes sp. Family: Cerambycidae, Order: Coleoptera, Class: Insecta

the ugly side of things

well, what more can i say, i am truly a criminal to this blog since i am not updating as often as i should but assignments and other affairs can really get in the way at times.thankfully my mascot assignment is officially over and presentation was a blast also..well, that is what i think since i manage to deliver the concept of my poster n mascot the way i intended to do so. the rest is beyond my control. this semester seems rather short to me, dunno why but it felt even shorter than the other semesters. i look back once in a while and reminisce about the amazing times i had during sem 1 and 2 and come to realize tht my time is running out, leaving me along the way even faster than before. there seem to be no time for other things such as phone conversations and the occasional outings. everything is cut short now..n i realised certain things that are still lingering in my mind may never a be said if time is just slipping away from me as it is right now. though i realise that fact, i am still at a point where i prefer to let these thoughts stay to myself for the better side of things, as there are alot of things that are way out of our hands like the mouths of people.

through out the times that went away, i see the ugliness in people and begin to doubt about every single thing i believe in when in comes to the topic of dealing with people. i no longer know who i can or should trust.or i should not have trust anyone in the 1st place? does it even exist in today's context? yes ..it may be unfair to people that are really true and loyal towards you but at times ur judgement can really be affected by whatever u have gone through and the act of being slightly unfair and the whole one-sided way of thinking will surface. even though, these things may not happen to u, but seeing it frm a 3 person's point of view is rather disturbing and horrible. since time is slipping faster and faster away, i believe there is no point in dealing with such petty issues anymore, it is their mouths and wtv that comes out of it, i will no longer care as the act of feeling dissapointed over what they have said is nothing but a waste of my time.
