Approaching Halloween

Sem break is here and I'm having fun to it. It also means that Halloween season is nearing and people are getting paranoid with regards to the supernatural phenomena. Everybody is starting to freak out that something might grabbed them from the dark and eat their intestines out. And some, they just freak out because they want to or they freak others out.

When I was still a child, I remember that i don't want to get out of the house especially when the date is nearing November 1 and 2. Ghost stories and other Filipino mythical creatures(such as aswang, tikbalang, tiyanak, manananggal, kapre and a lot more) are filing the house which always gives me the creeps. And everyone in the house would laugh their hearts out in seeing my reaction. But sometimes, they do this in purpose like an act of disciplining us. During the night, I can't sleep well; thus sleeping more in the broad daylight. This is because everytime I close my eyes (during nighttime) I can see all the mythical creatures, that they said to me, running after me then eat my intestines out (how childish).

And now, I'm a bit of a grown-up right now. I'm the one who tell those stories to the younger cousins of mine and scare them to death. I do this very often to discipline them and sometimes to see their frightened reactions which gives me something to laugh about.
