iipisin kita

Nightmare Nightmare Nightmare! Imagine...IPIS/COCKROACH/ROACH na kasing laki ng buong braso ko? Wish come true. Kakasabi ko lang Id rather dream yung mga usual dreams ko na horror. Que Horror naman talaga. IPIS! na kasing laki at haba ng buong braso ko. I cannot remember the whole of my dream last night, but i cannot forget the IPIS part. It was on my way and I just cant walk through. Yumuyuko yuko pa. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaahhhAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Ganyan kahaba ang AAAaaaHHhhh!! kasi talagang Aaaahhhh! Talagang Pumasok sa isip ko, F#*k Please wag ka lumipad sa akin. Thankfully may lumabas na white dog na kasing laki lang nung ipis, kinain niya yung ipis, nakalabas pa nga yung antenna from his mouth habang naka look back lang siya sa akin. And I was slightly relieved tapos yun wala na akong maalala. Pag gising ko, ang una kong naisip "anu Kayang meaning ng dream na yun?' second thing na naiisip ko ' Thank you Lord for Baygon -talagang Imagine a world without Baygon' I cant.

bwisit...Wala namang ganun kalaki di ba. or siguro mga 100 million years ago pa kung meron man...

Ipis- the enemy talaga yan. Hitsura pa lang the enemy na. I learned na favorite nila ang mga fingernails, and eyelashes, eh bakit di na lang kayo tumira sa beauty parlor?. Mag snack on kayo sa basurahan dun. Nocturnal beings who follow the invisible patterns of our breaths when we sleep. So pag stable na ang breathing natin, they'll positively assume that we are already asleep and then valiantly gagapang na sila. It is also said that once a cockroach survived a roach-killing spray, that cockroach and its offsprings will develop some type of immunity, thus the need to improve our roach sprays from time to time. I learned all that from Discovery Channel years ago. hahaha oo kasi "know your enemy". I also learned recently that most of the Ipis here in Manila are from the family of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. The photo of the cockroach above is from the family of Australian Cockroach. Shit noh, may mga lahi pa. If you didnt know, which i think you do already, in some places, they keep ipis as pets. (whaaaat, naubusan na ba ng aso at pusa sa mundo?)

And in some, kahit ata dito sa Pilipinas, its a delicacy. Hindi po ako nag iinarte manong/manang, pero patayin niyo na lang ako sa gutom. Okay lang kung may ipis mga 5-10 ft away or biglang napadaan na ipis bearable pa yun, ang definitely hindi okay, ay may ipis sa akin mismo. NoooOOo. Yes, as you probably know by now, Im not your fear-factor girl -' fear is not a factor for me'....because "fear is a factor for me."

fyi: Ipis Population are one of the leading causes for asthma and other bronchial problems and they are efficient disease carriers since they can survive from generations to generations.

Dejavu in Dreams.

It is said that a person has different layers or levels of sleep. Each level manifesting a dream.


Around 11:45 am this morning,I chose to sleep rather than have lunch. My tummy ached and I was not in the mood for lunch. I curled up on the long cream leather sofa inside my boss's office. I can hear my officemates, opening their lunch and chatting from the conference room while i sense myself getting sleepier. Their voices fading in every next second that passed. I would wake up every now and then to turn from side to side or check the time. The last time I checked it was 12:57pm, and Abigail found her spot on two other single leather couches pushed in a way towards each other to form a bed.

Not long after or so it seemed, I felt myself awake but couldnt get my eyes to open. I can't move.
I relaxed and forced my eyes to open but it didn't. I thought " oh God, Binabangungot ba ako? Wake me up please".

I forced and forced till I pulled my body up just as fast as i was able to open my eyes and looked around. A sigh of relief was coming until i realized I was still on lying position and my eyes were still closed. "Oh my God the first one was a nightmare" This time It's real, I cant open my eyes. I did the same thing again and pulled my self up only to discover right after that i still had my eyes closed and that i was back on the lying position again. I was getting scared. I mustered all my strength to open my eyes up, and it cracked open a little bit but still i wasnt moving. My body was still. Then I woke up only to find out for the third time that my eyes were still closed and i was still asleep. It was really creeping me out. (Struggling to wake up for the third time , only to find out that you were still asleep and it has been just a dream like the first two times i woke up.) I called Abigail's name in my head, to help me, I called until i began crying and until I can finally hear my voice. My eyes were still closed. I think by that time Abigail heard me, She responded to my moans but walked away crying herself. (which was weird.) Then i woke up. I woke up for real and learned that the fourth time where in i was calling her name had also only been just a dream. A dream inside a dream inside a dream inside a dream inside a dream. Really weird. It was like being trapped in the same scenario over and over again. I sat still for awhile before i headed for the restroom. I washed my face with cold water to make sure Im awake and if im not, then for myself to wake up. 1:30pm - Just in time to get back to work.

It was a really weird sleep. Unlike some people, I do not wish to die in my sleep. I really want to have time to say goodbye and all that drama first. :)
