Flies...I hate them! >.<
In regard to my extreme dislike towards these vile insects, I’ve taken the liberty to investigate the mysterious occurrence of their unrelenting persistence to disrupt privacy!
Day One
The question is…WHY are flies attracted to human beings?
Is it because of our body odor? Could it be the color of our clothes?
Hence, my first attempt to solve this obscurity, I decided to take a long walk around the bay WITHOUT any deodorant (may God have mercy). Even though I wasn’t astonished by the sudden attack of the swarm of flies, I was horrified by the number and their diligence in annoying me.
Conclusion for day one: Use deodorant!
Day two
I sprayed on my trusty Rexona deodorant and left the house smelling “Mountain Fresh”.
The weather was particularly pleasant today and unlike previous days the wind was forceful and yet it felt extremely relaxingly. I was surprised that even with my weight, the wind was capable of blowing me off the bridge – literally. Thankfully, I had a firm grip onto the railing which reduced the risk of facing my fear of swimming in waters where I can’t see the bottom.
Anyway let us get back to more pressing matters. Using deodorant today does seem to handle the pesky problem, however I was not satisfied by their sudden dismissal, there was something going on and I need to find out.
Conclusion for day two: Use deodorant.
Day three
AHA!! I knew it! My intuition never fails me! THE FLIES ARE BACK!! And they brought another army to back them up! My mountain freshness was unable to restrain them from me. Every garbage bin and poo I walked by seem to increase the intensity of the party that has been going on around my head since I crossed the bridge. I was getting dizzy. I felt faint. I needed water…What is so good about me that flies just couldn’t resist bugging the hell out of me? I mean, who would give up poo over some girl for crying out loud!?
Conclusion for day three: it has occurred to me that deodorant doesn’t help keep off these pesky flies except to maintain my mountain freshness every time I sweat.
Day four
It must have been the strong winds that day that prevented them from interfering in peoples’ lives. Maybe someone should create a device – a hat with a fan or a fly proof armor, I bet they will be able to establish a successful cash/ profit generating company.
Conclusion for day four: Staying home and coming up with assumptions will never lead to anywhere fruitful. I have the leave the house if I want to do a proper research!
Dang! I have to face my nemesis again!
Day five
Now I know why people who live here “exercise” so frequently. It’s because they are trying to run away from these flies! It has to be the reason! That’s the only way the flies can’t catch up...
I attempted a run around the bay; unfortunately my stamina allowed me to barely reach the end of the bridge where I had to stop and gasp for air. Before I knew it, the flies attacked!
Conclusion for day five: I’m not going out there anymore! At least until the winds come back to Sydney.
Day six
O my god! I saw the cutest thing!
There was thing guy. He was holding a small twig. The twig had a few leaves. It looked rather pathetic come to think of it. But anyway, this guy was using that twig to brush those blasted flies away! That man is a genius!!
Day seven
It’s salt! They are attracted to our salty sweat.
Hmm...maybe I’ll try smothering myself with honey and see if we are correct.
Nah...I doubt i'm in the mood for more adventures...especially with bees!
