Too many psycho thrillers on TV movies lately. What a trip ha!? I was watching this movie of Julianne Moore about a guy on a wheelchair and he has that some kind of  strange ability to foresee the dead. It was scary for my daughter to watch that I keep changing channels so I never really see the whole picture. Julianne worked as a psycho-therapist of sort and she had that guy, a patient whom she brought to the creek in the woods. In that scene the patient was able to get out from his wheelchair. That kind of scene made me think about my niece who works caring for old people. Before I watched that crazy movie I was thinking about my niece and other caregivers who worked alone and doing the one on one caregiving attending to their patients on home care. What if her patients have psychotic tendency? Or the patient is actually faking his ailment? You know that makes me worried about her work. Then the next movie we watched has something to do with a woman who seek the advice of a psychiatrist every time she was bothered with nightmares that made her suffer nervous breakdown. One of the advices she was to move out from the place leaving her obsessed boyfriend only to being followed by the very possessive boyfriend who works as a policeman. Imagine in this movie, OBSESSION it was the police officer who is the culprit and the obssessed and the criminal. That kind of movie made you think twice about law enforcement. Well anyway it's only a movie hopefully there are no policemen doing such anomalies. But lately so many news about policemen being investigated for sexual harrassment due to charges from female police. Hmm...bad. Bad! Not good. Who we need to trust now? The ARMY?

Another movie dealing with the psyche is the "Insidious." It was dark already in our room when that movie was on our TV screen so when these two nerdy guys came and shooting photos and in his photo snapshot he was in focus with the hallway and the doors, two more shots and then suddenly two girls wearing white dress appeared on his camera lens when actually there are no two girls on that hallway. Ghost? Seems like, The fast pace appearance of the ghostlike creatures made us screamed. Changed channels again. lol

It's okay to watch such weird movies. We're not chicken but to have those creatures appear in our dreams? Oh my!!! Never mind.

Then fast-forward, my relative was inside the elevator and the elevator stop abruptly. I think that happened when there are so many people pushing the buttons. Or a longer period of stop or when the elevator halt for over ten minutes that's  a cause for concern. Either brown out, black out or the elevator has mechanical problem. Either there's fire or electrical hazards. It's good when you have survival skills and survival kit. You always have to bring with you a travelling bag. Tote bag filled with emergency items such as: flashlight, ballpens, food, bottled water, chewing gum, chocolate, energy bar, stun gun, pocketbook or ebook (ereader), cellphone is the best handy dandy best equipment to   ask and send help. Even your vehicles should be equipped with survival kit and emergency, first aid kit. It's always to think ahead and be prepared just like a good girl scout do.
