      On the ferry ride to Cebu, there was a sudden drizzle on our side. We instinctively rose from our seats to avoid getting drenched, making the boat tilt. Good thing it was able to regain balance.

      I think I was around 8 or 9 biking by myself around the subdivision, which wasn’t gated then. A car suddenly popped out on my right side and veered towards my direction. If I was a few seconds ahead, I would have been struck.

      Vehicular accident, vehicle I was in flipped and went off the side of the road from avoiding a tricycle who suddenly went left with no warning. Car was traveling around 100 kph then. Thankfully everyone (around 8 of us) survived with no casualties or severe injuries.

      On that note, it’s true that time does seem to slow down when it looks like you’re about to die.

      Gunshot, traffic sa alabang-sucat service road, I fell asleep sa may pinto ng jeep, nagising na lang ako ng biglang may sumigaw na “akin na yang bag mo” startled awake I didn’t let go of my bag, nag tug of war kami. Nag give up yung snatcher. After my fellow passengers told me I was lucky he didn’t shoot me. Di ko nakita na may baril pala yung snatcher.

      Vehicular accident.

      Tricycle I was riding got t-boned by allegedly a van (didn’t really see in account of us still spinning while the van booked it).

      My left ear got wrecked and there was definitely some chest/lung trauma. For a while I got anxious anytime I had to ride a tricycle.

      It was nothing compared to the person I was with, though.

      She got a collapsed lung that needed draining every so often, pelvis and collarbone broke, as well as a myriad of other injuries out of the ordeal. It took about two months for her to recover.
