Of Paradox and Loopholes;

~
Today I found large networks of "Anay/Termite" infestations near our stairs.
It’s really weird to look at it. I mean I could feel the hair on the back of my head rising and stuff.

Before we were overrun by swarms of these semi-quasi-wood-eating-locusts. Our helper decided to "burn" the infested nests and bring some water in case of emergency. I wasn’t too open to the idea… I mean, wouldn’t that burn the house too? She suggested  otherwise though. Saying that nothing could go wrong;

Results:

• *Smell of burning hair*

• *Panicking like the house is on fire… er… wait*

• *Panicking BECAUSE the house is on fire!!!*

• *Constant frantic cursing*

• *2 Nosy Neighbors*

• *Someone with a burned left eyebrow(and it ain’t me)*

• *A person with burned eybrow horrified, screaming and (dancing?) like she was summoning kingdom come.*

I tried calling maintainance to look at the nest but all I got was
enduring and wasting a few minutes to the useless rants of a former
frustrated insect terminator.

The season of October is "Anay" awareness month he says. I mean, WTF?
But then again before the maid with "burning fervours" return from
the drugstore, I agreed to have him take a look.

Results:

• *A bucket-worth of orange juice*

• *Lotsa mess*

• *More orange juice consumption*

• *Boring stories*

• *Geez, is orange juice really that addictive?*

• *Horrible cracking sound*

• *Frantic Running Away from the House as fast as possible*

• *The horror in learning that Termites "DO" bite*

Being a cheapsake does have it’s disadvantages… The frikin memory will haunt me as long as I live. *Sigh*

Maybe I’d try asking the "shaman/mangkukulam/mambabarang" next door about this infestation. She must have some
weird voodoo spells to rid our house of em.

Till then, "ta ta peasants". Err, yeah, seriously, I need to lay off the insecticides.
