January 25, 2009. 7:30-8:00pm. I came home from our church anniversary and decided to leave again to get a facial in Sta.Lucia mall. Dapat kasama ko pa mga sisters ko. But since I was on a hurry and PJ would be picking them up, I went ahead telling them to text me if they're gonna follow. Nasa Marcos Highway ako. I think 60 -70 kph was my speed. Nagulat ako bigla na lang ako me nakita na pwet ng truck papaatras saken.
That was the last vivid image that I can recall after the collision. I just remembered the impact that I felt on my right side, the broken glasses flying/touching my skin and the thought in my mind "shoot nabangga ako". I was on a state of shock I guess. Everything happened so fast. Nakahinto na yung sasakyan ko then naramdaman ko na inaatrasan pa din ako ng truck. I don't know kung ano gusto gawen ng driver if he wants na tumakas or he wants to squeeze the remaining life out of me kung meron pa natitira.
The next clear scene, nakita ko yung mga bubog sa labas ng kalsada, basag na windshield/salamin ng front & rear door, upuan sa right side ko na nagmove, yun malaking truck sa na bumangga saken and me mga dumadaan na vehicles on my left looking at us. Others were asking "okay ka lang?". Two or three men were kind enough to park their vehicles to check me out. Yung isa inalalayan ako lumabas. Hindi ko alam yung una ko gagawen. I was trying to compose myself. Pinababa nila yung truck driver dahil baka tumakas nga daw. Ayun napababa naman.
The first person I called was my mom. I told her to go the place kung san ako naaksidente but need not to worry because I was fine. Adrenaline rush siguro kaya I wasn't feeling any pain at the moment. Yung guy na tumulong saken ang nakikipagtalo sa driver parang siya ang nabangga (thank you sa iyo kung sino ka man).
A few minutes later, dumating na sila pj, cy, with my sisters. Napayakap ako ke Donna and napaiyak ako sabi ko buti nde ko kayo kasama. Nakita ko kase yung passenger seat na wasak e. I was hugging her with Divine and sumali na din sila tita. We were hugging each other while praising/thanking God that I am alive. My mom stayed in Pj's car hindi daw siya nakababa dahil nanlumo siya when she saw the big truck. Pinuntahan ko siya dun to show myself that I'm okay and she was relieved. Dinala ko nila Pj sa hospital para macheck yun wounds and kung meron mga fractured bones. Thank God wala naman sabi ng X-ray results. We went sa police station afterwards, andun na din ang driver and yun may ari ng trucking services. Hindi na ako ang nakipagusap. My dad and my uncle did most of the talking and came into agreement na sasagutin nila lahat ng gastos.
What I learned from this accident?
I learned that God loves me so much. Although, it's another way of showing it. I've been tripping a lot lately and realized how far I was from Him. Hebrews 12:6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.
I am blessed with people na nagmamahal and nagke care sa akin. I've never seen my grandpa so emotional. He was crying and was hugging me this morning after he learned of what happened. Of course given na ang aking family (mom,dad,sisters, lola, tito and tita). So special mention ang mga taong ito. Cy & Pj (for taking care of me and of my sisters buti dinaanan nyo sila dahil kung nakasama ko sila I would be blaming myself sa kung ano man masama na mangyayari). Christie-ex, James, Lay & Miss Peggy (for calling/texting this morning checking if I'm okay...touch ako as in). At siyempre my one and only Budzie. I don't care kung ano na iisipin or sasabihin ng iba. I want the whole world to know that I love you so much. Thank you for calling/texting last night and this morning. Kahit wala physical presence mo I really felt your concern and care para sa akin.
I learned that God still peforms miracle. I wasn't wearing my seatbelt. Walang bubog na pumasok sa mata ko. Walang naputol na part ng katawan. Hindi bumagok head ko sa kahit saan. Hindi ako tumilapon palabas ng sasakyan. I was a meter away from being dead/paralayzed but now I am still writing this blog using both of my hands, clear vision of my eyes and still in the right mind. Thank you Lord. You are really good.
I learned that life can be taken away on an instant. Tama na pag waste ng time. Every minute and second counts. Once na mawala na yun hindi na pwde ibalik. I was thinking, what if namatay nga ako last night? Ang dami ko pala hindi pa nagagawa and gusto pa ma experience. GRAB EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD AND TO BE BETTER. BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING, EVEN WITH THE SIMPLEST/SMALLEST BLESSING THAT YOU RECEIVED. When I woke up this morning, nakasmile ako kahit sumasakit yung right knee ko and kanan tagiliran. Sabi ko "thank you Lord for this new morning!". Hindi ako nagtetake ng pain killers dahil kaya ko naman and kase yung pain ang nagsasabi saken na "You're alive!"
