Ipis Killer
I don't wanna hurt him anymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be...
A murderer


Am I such a bad person kung wala akong ginawa sa ipis kundi ang patayin sila???

This morning, as I was about to take a bath, I found an ipis in the bathroom. Siguro nadulas siya or napatid kasi the ipis was on its back tapos hindi makatayo. Even from three feet away, I could already feel my skin crawl. But I had no choice - Kailangan ko na maligo kundi malelate ako. So what I did, out of the bravery of my soul, was to splash water on the ipis, as if mafuflush siya sa drain, e kita ko naman na nakasarado yung drainage, so talagang niloloko ko lang sya at ang sarili ko.

Then, sa kakatapon ko ng tubig, biglang naka-upright tayo yung ipis! *Mother of God!!!* Patay talaga! Sabi ko hihihintayin ko na lang siya na umalis sa banyo kaso talagang gusto pa niyang mag-frolic dun. So after 5 more minutes, binasa ko uli sya ng tubig while praying: DIE, IPIS, DIE! Ayun, bumulagta sya uli.

Then I had a bright idea. While the ipis' feet were kicking up in the air, binuhusan ko sya ng thick na body wash para magdikit dikit ang mga legs at antenna niya. Aba, I didn't get a 140 score in the Tickle Classic IQ Test for nothing!!! (hehehe)

At first, para syang bulate na binuhusan ng asin. Then binuhusan ko sya a second time, and a third time... May lahi talagang bulate - still kicking and alive ang pucha! I was stopping myself from waking up my brother to get rid of that ipis, pero aabot langit talaga ang galit sa akin non pag ginawa ko yun, and anyway, he would never kill an ipis, not even a FLYING IPIS... for me, his dear sister, hmp! At kung papatay man siya, tsinelas ko pa ang gagamitin, duh???!

Anyway, so I went back to my room to recoup. I got a small card and envelope at talagang ililibing ko na yung ipis, by hook or by crook. Pag balik ko sa banyo, the ipis was no longer moving... So after another 2 minutes of pep-talking myself into going near the roach, I finally scooped it up put it in the envelope, and threw it out the window. Sorry na lang sa pupulot sa envelope na yun. hehehe

Ang point ko lang... why can't they just leave me alone??????? Goodness gracious. Ayoko na talagang pumatay ng ipis... I don't agree with your lifestyle, but I respect your being you, and your being part of the ecosystem/foodchain/chuchu. Pwede tayong mag co-exist, wag na lang muna tayo magbabatian, ok?
