when you hear something in the kitchen and nobody’s there, what do you do?

i picked up Mia’s dirty diaper to throw in the kitchen trash and went to investigate. i knew it was just us at home; my parents were at church, my brothers had their own lakad. i was never the scaredy cat when home alone, so to heck with it and went down the stairs.

i went to the sink and found some containers that are normally sitting atop the window sill above the sink were scattered. the window was closed so i looked up and noticed something. it looked like a hose was slinking down the side. on closer inspection, i realized what it was.

a snake. oh hell no.

there is no man in the house so what do you do? you scream of course. =D

i did manage an impressive “oh crap!”. my cousin J and her boyfriend K came (we live in a compound so that’s a relief) to my rescue. K tried to catch it with a broomstick, a mop handle, and — wait for it — a saw. uh-huh, as in lagari. san ka pa? McK to the rescue. haha.

anyway. one of those things i hate about summer is that snakes come out. other than that, i really can’t come up with 5 more things i can hate about this season because frankly, i love it.

so what do you hate about summer? para maiba naman
