These Insects Are Going To Be The Death Of Me

I was already sleepy a while ago but thanks to three cockroaches that entered my room today, I don't think I'll be able to sleep any time soon.

The three cockroaches were pretty okay since my son was still awake at that time they decided to enter my lair. He's the one who kills them for me while I shriek and scream. Although when it came to the third one, he was pretty pissed off already saying, "Hindi ka naman aanuhin nyan!" (They won't do anything to you!)

Well, I'm still petrified of them. Plus the thought of them gives me the creeps.

Now, just around 30 minutes ago, something entered my room. It was black and shaped like a cockroach. So I thought it was another one. Good thing it wasn't the active type. It just settled near my pile of laundry and made its way beneath my dirty clothes. I immediately got my bug spray and spray on it.

I went to the bathroom for a smoke. When I went out, my heart leaped out of my ribcage. I saw the black thing flying and darting around in my room. So I stayed in the bathroom a little longer and had another smoke.

When I knew I had no choice but to go out, I slowly opened the door and was on the alert. I knew something was inside my room. And I kept thinking, "Die! Die! Die!"

Good thing it decided to settle down once again and kept walking at a slow pace beneath my computer table. I immediately pounded it with my rubber slipper. A number of times. I found out that it wasn't a cockroach but a bug with a hard shell on it. It also kept twitching and making sudden movements.

I hit it several times more but it seems to still be unshaken by what I was doing. So I took my computer chair and hit it using the chair's wheels. It still didn't work. What creature is this?!

A 2-liter bottle was within my reach so I took it and smashed it on the bug. Its innards were out but it still continued to crawl. Why can't you admit defeat, creature?

I smashed it again and that's when it decided to lay still. But only for a bit. Its legs were still kicking!

I got my alcohol and poured it on the bug. Then I took a plastic spoon I found in my trash can and scooped it up. It was still wriggling its legs but it wasn't so active anymore, thank God! Then I threw it outside the window. Please don't let its mates come and avenge the little critter's death.

Now, I got my lavender essential oil, a tealight candle, and got myself some aromatherapy. Please. No more insects tonight. Or ever.
