How to watch a Horror movie even though you are scared?

Now I don't know about you guys but I am one of those who hides her face or closes her eyes in an attempt to avoid seeing the dreary faces of the ghosts. But I'm also that person who sneaks a little from this hiding and catches a snap of that face and gets nightmares later.

Be it Annabelle's ugly doll or Conjuring's nun (VALAK), I have had nightmares about literally every horror character or movie I've watched. Many times I'm the lead too. One of the repeating nightmares is that the garden in my house is overflowing with snakes - anacondas in particular. These dreams particularly happened after I watched every single Anaconda movie out there.

When I was young, watching horror movies was a perfect excuse to sleep with ma and papa. Psst...I still use this tactic hehe.

Anyhoo, to survive those horror movies here are my weird ways:

1) Have snacks for distraction. Trust me a packet of chips or a bowl of popcorn is the best way to distract yourself from that ugly faces.

Extra Tip: If the snack is crunchy enough, you can even get rid of those squeaky voices.

2) Pretend to be funny. Make jokes about those ugly faces. It's like doing an Uno reverse on ghosts. Think about it, ghosts are there to scare us and we are making fun of the single weapon they have. It works most of the time.

3) Act unafraid. The only way to avoid all the embarrassment and pranks which people often inflict when they know you are scared is to act strong. Although from inside, you just want to close your eyes or scream at all those horrific scenes, pretend to be strong.

I hope all these help when next time you watch such a movie. And if any of this helps, do let me know!!

What's your way to survive watching horror movies?? Let me know in the comments!

I also try to crack jokes when I see some horror scene. I actually keep myself busy in some or the other task until that horrific scene ends.

5 Things my Mom taught me!

That's me - before puberty hit me and my mom - pretty as always :) Puberty hit me good! My mom still the same :') The context behind this very special blog is because it's my Mum's birthday today (PS: You can wish her in the comments below). And to do something special for her I decided to write things that she has taught me knowingly and unknowingly. I think that the most special feeling for anyone would be that they have made an impact, an influence on someone. That feeling is just more than money or love. It's a feeling of respect, and how the days you've talked has to lead to that breakthrough. And being my mom, she knows me for 19 years now (and 19 days, but not my point). I have mentioned her and my dad in many of my blogs but they both have taught me so much more. So, here are the 5 things I learned from my Ma: 1. Hustle as much as you can when you are young - this will ensure a comfortable life later! Now, I know this contradicts the point of 'Life i...

To the best week of 2021!

I know it's too soon to announce the best week but I feel I'm not going to have a better week in the remaining months of 2021. I visited my Nani house and met my 6 cousins. Played an endless number of card games. Mostly lost in all. Jammed to 2000s songs while playing. Got challenged to recognize songs just by the starting tune. Won that challenge with flying colors 😉 Got dressed up. Hijacked elder sis's jewelry collections🥵. Troubled her while sleeping by cuddling😈 My Younger sister combed my hair from time to time😂. Lots of internal jokes🤧 Middle sister making efforts to make the house of cards. And me like a pretty nice sister trying to crush that house😊 Comparing heights with both my brothers😬. Still proud to be the tallest🏆. Laughing on almost any random thing. Talking about school and online studies📖 The infinite arguments and exploring options for Movie night🎥 Fighting for who will get that last chip at 1am. Gulping down Jeeru bottles🥤 Everyo...

First days are always exciting, no?

To start with, I forgot to mention the GOOD news in the last blog. We crossed 5000+ All-time views on these blogs after 25 blogs. Yayy!! I am really grateful for this and so happy! I never thought these blogs will ever be such an important part of my life but now I can feel that these are growing into something more big and meaningful for me. So, thank you all of you who always took out time to read and comment on my blogs. I love you all💓 Having said that, let me start today's blog. Being an experienced stationery-lover, the only thing I find exciting in a new academic semester is to start using new books and pens. Going all out on stationeries. Throughout the academic year, I crave vacations and when they finally arrive I crave using the stationery and new books. It's a never-ending cycle!! (My first blog was literally about Vacations!!??.. ) Today, I woke up at around 7:20 (which is pretty early for me). I gave myself a pep talk and tried to lure myself to wake up ...
