Oh No! I'm the Target!!


Cockroaches and socialites are the only things that can stay up all night and eat anything.

Cockroaches are kinds of insects that people shouldn't be afraid of, just like how cockroaches are portrayed in the 1996 movie Joe's Apartment wherein it was shown in such a funny way that it is singing and dancing. I kind'a like this movie because my phobia in cockroach is lessen a bit every time I watch this movie. I don't know when I started to have Katsaridaphobia known as fear of cockroach. One time I was sleeping and when suddenly I felt that there is an object running through my legs, so, I open my eyes and to my horror it was a cockroach. I immediately stand up and find my slippers, but I couldn't find it. I just let the cockroach go and I wasn't able to go back to sleep co'z I am afraid that it might enter my ears or mouth. Every vacation I'm always taking a bath late night, I am always seeing cockroaches on the wall, cockroaches on the ground and sometimes it is flying. Every time that there is cockroach in the bath room I most likely skip taking a bath because I can't kill it and I have this feeling that it was running after me and it will gonna eat. I know that cockroaches can't do such thing as killing a person. But, they've been running after me for a long time that I couldn't sleep nor I couldn't take a bath every time the are cockroaches around I felt like I am their Target!!


The lizard brain will fight (to the death) if it has to, but would rather run away. It likes a vendetta and has no trouble getting angry. -Seth Godin

Lizards! Lizards! Lizards are just everywhere at night , we can always see them on our ceiling running through after one another. People have this certain hatred when it comes to lizards because it sometimes drop its feces on our head or face and it doesn't smell good. I was four years old when our "kasambay" was feeding me when the lizard drop on my legs and I accidentally thrown the plate on her face. I was so afraid and wasn't able to eat again because of it. It started my phobia on lizards. I was on second year high school and I was cleaning my bed room,  I was trying to fix the arrangement of my things when I moved my bed there was a dead lizard on it and it horrified me and wasn't able sleep on my room for two weeks because I am afraid that it might haunt me on my sleep. My third encounter with lizard was when I was talking to my mother when it drop on my head and I started jumping and shouting. I know that it is kinda funny that I am afraid of such things as lizard and cockroach but for me it was a serious matter I will always try to overcome and live it and I will try my best to make friends of them because it is healthy to have pets around you it can lessen all the stress that I get from studying.  I was their target once and I will always be their target by befriending them.
