mumu
Mumu is a term we used to describe a ghost. Yep, it's a childish term but I'm comfortable using that than "ghost". Ghost is like -- serious stuff. Hehehe… And since it's Halloween, there's a mumu fever… all the sitcoms in the tube are featuring their own episode.. Stories about ghost are back.. Time to reminisce the mangkukulams (witches), dwendes (dwarfs), and other superstitious beings that can't be seen by the naked eye. We all have our own stories about our first hand encounters with these beings. And I'm going to tell that… uhmmm on November 1.
The other day I watched EXPOSED, and it's about ghost.. Actually I don’t have any intention of watching it but Ate insisted that I should. Since I want to prove myself that I'm a grown up and I'm not afraid of ghosts anymore…I watched it with her. And the after effect sucks. Yep.. I got scared! Waaaah!! They were giving testimonies about their own experiences and that's not all. there were videos and pictures! Now.. I can't go to the garage without my imagination going wild. Demmits!
I'm not sure whether mumus are real or they're just a pigment of my wild imagination. Though there are times that I really really got scared that it's pathetic. I know that I would die if some ghost would appear before me.. I just know, ok?! I got this eerie feeling sometimes that someone is watching me.. but since I know for a fact that I have a wild imagination -- I simply yell and run, and then my family would ask me what the hell am I yelling about. After I told them about the "eerie" feeling-- they would just say that I should be afraid of the living cause they can harm me. But the Mumu's can harm me too! And I can't possibly yell at the mumu's cause I would probably be dead already.. I just hope that they will leave me alone! We don't have business with each other. It's the fault of my older siblings that I'm like this! When I was a child when I'm being mischievous, they would scare me about this ghost who is full of blood.. Sometimes, I act as if I'm not scared -- I watch horror movies, I tell scary stories.. I even scare other people.. But I know deep inside, I never outgrew my fear of ghosts and kaluluwang dugo. I'm still a coward afterall.
