Kat calls Ferdie…
Ferdie: Hello?
Kat: (panicky) Mahal, I have a problem.
Ferdie: (worried) Why what’s wrong?
Kat: There’s a spider in my room. I can’t sleep.
Ferdie: (sighs) Mahal naman… I’m in the bathroom, can I call you back?
Kat: Okay.
Five minutes later…
Kat: Hello?
Ferdie: Is the spider gone?
Kat: No, I ran away from it. I’m in the living room. I’m waiting for it to go away.
Ferdie: Mahal, you kill it.
Kat: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ferdie: Mahal, remember that time when you went home and there was a bug on the bed, you got rid of it? That bug’s so much worse than a spider.
Kat: But…. but……the spider has eight eyes!!!!
Ferdie: (laughs) Of course. Get a broom and……
Kat: NOOO! I can’t kill it! I can’t do it! I cant!!!!
Ferdie: It’s just a house-spider, it’s harmless…
Kat: But…..but……It’s very hairy!!!!!
Ferdie: (laughs) Of course it’s hairy…
We spent twenty minutes on the phone discussing my problem and him convincing me that there was nothing that a spider could do to me, but, you know this movie Arachnophobia? I made the mistake of watching it when I was little and scenes from it kept flashing in my mind. I have no problem at all with the little jumping house spiders or those with the long thread-like legs often seen in bathrooms. But last night, pardon me for freaking out, the intruder in my bedroom was this:
I asked a housemate’s help after I screamed my head off and almost wet my pants when my eight-legged visitor walked creepily across my wall. My housemate whacked it with a broom but missed, and it actually jumped off the wall and landed with a thud on the floor. It scuttled away and disappeared in the dark space under the stairs where I keep my shoes. Great. I’m wearing slippers to work today.

When I was around eight years old, I tried to catch a spider and it bit me on the nose. I cried.

looks like you have arachnophobia ehe.. well, the best way to rid of a spider is to spray it with insectide like Raid, and you just have to be no more than 2 feet away

maybe not arachnophobia because I can stand the little ones, and I even enjoyed watching spider fights as a kid. Thanks for the tip, although I’m moving next week and I hope my new place doesn’t have mutant spiders

I used to be so scared of spiders until I watched Spiderman and even wished to be bitten by spiders. Lol. =)
Kat Carneo // June 25, 2009 at 4:20 pm |
It’s the opposite for me. Now I don’t like Spiderman.

Kat Carneo // June 25, 2009 at 4:21 pm |
Well I’m not that OC…..I’m just scared that the spider would jump on me when I get my shoes.

Guest—That’s why blogging is so great, I can post all the nonsense that I want!
Ed—I get comments like that sometimes, it doesn’t bother me anymore.
Guest // June 27, 2009 at 2:55 pm |
I beg to disagree. That what makes blogging bad kamo.

Must be the rainy season… I remember about a week ago, something like that happened in my sister’s room. Me and my brother tried to get rid of it. Imagine 2 grown men trying to get rid and get out of the way of a little spider all at the same time. We had ourselves quite a romp, and quite laugh… it was fun in way, made me missed being kids hehe
