dying
i thought i'm gonna die last night.no, i'm not exaggerating things because that's how i exactly felt last night.
the jeep, as usual, sped through the night.slowly, i can feel my butt already slipping because we were again "sardinized" inside and the guy on my left was a modern and common one-UNGENTLEMAN!i held tightly at the bar for fear of ending up sitting on the floor anytime would the driver decide to turn left or right.and i must say, i'm successful from not falling from where i was sitting despite the tiny space provided for me.
minutes later,everybody went crashing and bumping into one another (while i'm still tightly holding the bar) while the driver was somehow confused of how he will deal with the situation.things were so fast that i didn't see, nor are the other passengers,what really happend.all we knew is that, our lives were threatened that moment.
actually, i'm already anticipating that the jeep will bump into something and i'm waiting for that loud "bang" or screeching sound to confirm my instinct that we'll bump into something- the vehicle in front of us maybe.but luckily, we did not. THank GOD=)
but what really caught my attention was the mother with her baby across from where i was sitting.the mother really cried because she was really afraid of what could might happen to her baby. she kept on saying: okay lang sana kung ako.hwag lang yung anak ko as she blamed the driver.i, on one hand, still held on the bar tightly while the guy on my left remained to be an asshole!
time really is fast.in just a glimpse, anything can happen.imagine, in just that split second, there are possibilities of us dying or getting injured...many what-ifs already entered my mind.life is really too precious.too precious to waste on unimportant matters.
