specimen.

i have serious fear of cockroaches, especially if they're the "fleepis" ones. they're mean! small as they are, they'd attack you, crawl over your foot, stick to your clothes and fly around so as to scare you. and yeah they're even game for staring games.

it doesn't seem rational to be so scared of those pests, after all with a spray or two, they're dead.. or with the *whappak* of your slippers they're crunched to death. but still, i grew up with that fear. our helpers used to lock me in the kitchen and hold cockroaches by the antenna to put so close to my face. i don't know why they're fond of doing that... as far as i remember i was the good kid that never broke a glass *innocent face* haha yeah. fine, i was a bit naughty. but hey, they had no right to inflict phobias like that on kids! especially on me! haha. it was a learned helplessness. whenever i see one, i'd freeze for a long time, and quietly cry. if there's a dead one around, i'd get the feeling it's crawling up my legs. :| and when i can't take it anymore, i'd call my mom or my dad, or my brother to kill it for me. i would always imagine it flying towards me that's why i ask someone to kill it for me.

BUT! today was such a significant day. ipis are still ipis. i still avoid them. but now, they're just another specimen. haha! i dissected 2 ipis today. seen upclose, i still couldn't find it in my heart to adore them, or to at least appreciate them. :| oh those hairy legs. gooey body fluids. my specimen had a lot of eggs in her! wah. and it's no wonder that even if every human being had a roach-killer spray to kill every ipis, they will never reach extinction.

ipis ka ba? hah! you're just another specimen.

woopiedooped.

ipis! one time, i was using the computer and all the lights in the house were turned off, biglang naramdaman ko isang ipis na gumagapang sa right hand ko (which was holding the mouse). haha.

karen, pareho tayong may phobia sa ipis. pero nung nasa guam lang ako nagkaphobia don. ewan ko lang kung hanggang ngayon may phobia pa ako sa flying ipis na yan. ..pero sobra talaga yun, inatake ako don ng sunod-sunod eh. sa tenga, sa buhok! waaah! konting kumaluskos lang sa tenga ko dati, nanginginig na ako sa takot.
