there is this little kid who lives in my building who for the second time today terrorized me with a humungous half-dead cockroach. when i went to put the recycling downstairs this morning, he was wimpering so i walked up to see what was the matter. apparently the roach bit him and drew blood. then the kid thought it would be amusing to chase me with it and touch my arm and back with it- little shit. i have to say it, i don't mind most bugs and spiders, but roaches, they just freak me right out. i was throwing away an old umbrella that got destroyed in the last typhoon and used it as defence, all the while telling him to stop. as i walked up the stairs back to my place he followed me, with his little brother and sister close behind, and i was actually kinf of running. but it felt ridiculous. finally i stopped and actually scolded him in english. an elderly woman popped her head out of an adjacent apartment and gave me a dirty look. then i sought refuge in my apartment and locked the door and put the chain on.
