    Parang mas nagiging scaredy cat ako over time. I’ve been reading The Exorcist (novel) and I find that I don’t want to continue reading it if: one, I know I’m alone at work and it’s midnight and two, I’m in the middle of reading a scary, eventful scene tapos inaantok na ako.

    The thing is kailangan ko talaga tapusin yung scene otherwise feeling ko mapapaginipan ko yung very eventful scene because I’ll be wondering about how a certain chapter ended. Do I want to dream about possessed Reagan doing terrible things to herself? Nah. The last thing I wanna read about it how our Jesuit priest is preparing a lecture or having a normal conversation with another priest.

    The same goes for horror movies 😔 ba’t kaya ganun na ako? Hindi naman ako sobrang takot, basta alam kong may human presence within the area I feel assured. I think this started nung talagang puro night shift na ako lol. I don’t feel so brave anymore 😆

      I can’t consume supernatural-themed horror flicks for the same reason.

      Like you, hindi ako takot pag may kasama. I dread the moment na lingering yung scene sa isip ko and walang tao.

      I don’t understand how you can do this to yourself given na night shift ka pa. I could never.
