Mystery Creature In The Bathroom
As I was taking my morning dump early today, there was this creature in the first part of the bathroom. The moment I saw it crawling in I shrieked. After a few seconds it disappeared.
Then a few moments later it actually crept into the area where the toilet seat was and I shrieked yet again and made a dash out of the bathroom. Naked. This was around 3 in the morning and all the dogs outside were barking.
When I checked the bathroom, it had disappeared maybe into the hall in the wall which connects the bathroom to the storage area. I decided to just have my shower in the bathroom upstairs. Forget about the freaking morning dump.
The real scary part was I had no idea what the hell this creature was. As far as I can remember, it was black, round-ish, around 3 inches in diameter and about a foot and a half long.
Plus it was moving around like a snake or a slug. If I have to name one creature I can remember which closely resembles it, I would have to say one of the slugs from Slither which still holds it's place among the movies I really enjoyed this year.
It was also making this sound which a rat normally does, plus it was hairy and had legs. Tiny ones. I think.
No chances of it being a snake as it was too short for it's width. Plus the snakes I have seen around here are colored. It's no gecko either because those are bright green in color.
Based upon the description, it would seem to be some kind of alien creature or some slug-rat hybrid which mutated in our storage room.
I swear that this was what I saw.
Unless I was hallucinating or high on something. Come to think of it, I only had less than two hours sleep prior to the incident.
Or I could really be going over the edge, threading the line of genius and insanity. I already talk to myself out loud and now this, seeing things.
Then again it could have just been a bloody rat.
I took a bath in the bathroom in question and a dump as well, and the creature did not show itself this time.
Yesterday's emotional outburst was brought to you by Envy and Sloth of the 7 Deadly Sins. Lovely.
It's more of a reality check actually. A reality check to get off my lazy bum and start doing something that I love, whatever that maybe. You know, to actually work hard and then in the end cherish the fruits of my hard work. Guess we are in for a little soul-searching.
So in the next few months there would be drastic changes, and the recent promotion is not going to change my mind. The promotion simply means a change in salary, well it's a big change as they said it is almost the same as a Team Leaders salary. No change in the job description though.
After doing the same exact thing for three years now, the stress, repetitiveness and boredom would really get to you. Add to this 3 years of spending 4 hours everyday for my daily commute. Now show me someone with that kind of dedication.
In the next two months.
And no, the release of Final Fantasy XII on the 31st of October has nothing to do with this. One could simply call this a mere coincidence. It's not like the whole thing is being planned around it. No sir.
Today Marked A Particularly Bad Day
Today, was not a pretty day.
One hour of sleep from last night. Pre-shift overtime at work which was postponed when we there. Uneventful and boring calls. 2 hour post-shift overtime. Manic Friday traffic. Rain. The freaking 2 and a half hour journey home. Who else wastes that much time?
Anyway, I thought it could not get any worse.
Again I was proven wrong.
Fsck! This is going nowhere. I forgot how to fucking write, not that I really knew how to freaking begin with.
I just feel so annoyed and stupid and miserable with myself for wasting a bloody good education and being a stupid and spoiled son who wasted a ton of money when we were not even that rich.
Now I am nowhere. No clear career. No plan in life. In other words, no freaking future.
I could have been a doctor. I could have been an engineer. The thing is I was too fucking lazy to do either.
Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor just like my dad. I could have been a doctor.
Come 4th year high, the mind quickly shifted to engineering and opted to be one instead. I could have been one but I blew it big time, getting kicked out of DLSU after 3 years. What the fuck was I thinking back then?
Due to the silly no-subject-credit-from-other-schools-especially-for-kick-outs policy, I took up the most amazing combination of degrees ever, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Computer Applications. Amazing! A half-breed course between Business Management and Computer Science. Almost management, almost programming.
To top that off, I finished it in the best freaking school in the Metro, College of Saint Benilde, more popularly known as CSB aka College of School Bukol or College ng Sobrang Bobo.
Enough of this. It sucks to be a Jack of All Trades but A Master of none. I am dumb like that. Shit.
A very incoherent blog. Like anyone would even care in the first place.
The only good thing is that I am sleepy and tired enough wherein if I lay in bed, I would doze right off to an (eternal) slumber. I think.
Stupid Silly Simon.
