I had an accident

Last Monday while everybody was home because of the long weekend, I had a pretty nasty experience. It was the end of my shift after I ate lunch with a friend from work I went home on a Del Carmen bus. Along EDSA the bus crashed into the rear of another bus then swerved, ultimately hitting the post of an overpass in Estrella. The windshield was wrecked and I had a swollen lower lip plus a deformed eyeglasses. Luckily I was sitting at the end of the bus that's why I wasn't wounded by the shrapnels and broken glasses. It could have been worse, good thing I was picky on seats and that I don't want to be seated with somebody else that's why I choose a seat at the rear of the bus.

I'm fine, don't worry, it was a really nerve wracking exprience though. I didn't know what was happening since I didn't see any of it. The only thing I remember was that there was this person asking us to get off the bus, don't panic, and that's when I realized that I have a swollen lip and that my glasses are deformed. When we were getting off the bus I saw the shattered windshield and a woman being transported on a cab, all bloodied. That's when I started shaking, I was shaking so badly I wanted to cry. I hailed a cab and went home immediately, I know I should have stayed since they would be getting our statements, police porcedures and stuff, but I was just so scared and when I got home I was crying while holding a piece of ice to my swollen lip. I was crying like a child. It was really crazy and I was light headed.

And now I'm living my second life.

I'm still shaken and scared from the whole experience .

Good thing it was my weekly off so I didn't have to go to work with a swollen lip but my glasses have to wait until payday.

Such an irony that I had an accident on broad daylight when I was expecting one on the ungodly hours I travel to work which is around 2 am. But I had an accident at 3pm.

On other things, I really appreciate the comments that my previous article got. There's a part 2 for that, it should have been this week's article but I have a more pressing issues to tell. Now, I am processing what happened and I'm beginning to realize the things I had done wrong and how to rectify them.

Thank you God for my second life and all the people who makes my life richer and more beautiful.
