A Different Weekend

September 27, 2008
Around 11:00 in the evening

I was already enjoying a good night sleep when I suddenly woke up. I didn't know why, but I just woke up. Tita Star also got startled in her sleep, then said, "May nagbanggaan."

We went to the window to see what happened outside, but didn't see any. We went to the "veranda" (balkon, in Filipino) to look closely and see if there's anything we could do.

Then boom. It was a shock to see a truck in front of our house wrecking our fence. More shock to see a woman and a man lying by the side of the balkon, with the woman crying out for help.

The driver and the pahinante were not harmed. The two passengers who flew out of the truck shouldn't have been riding that huge vehicle in the first place. Thank God they were not critically harmed. I hope they're now doing fine with no complications whatsoever.

Please, DO NOT DRINK WHEN DRUNK.
