The Big Bang

As I looked at it, here comes supposedly a mundane Monday.

My siblings were out the whole day with friends while I stayed home stuffing myself with gingerbread men, watching some show.

What's worse was when I received a reminder that I had tuition on for the night.

I frowned.

My brother obviously had to chauffeur me to tuition but he too had to send his friend home. Since we were early, he decided to send his friend first.

On the way to her house I looked at the window, taking in the flitter and glitter of raindrops in night lights and suddenly...

*BANG*

My right side of the body crashed the front seat. [because I was looking at the window, body at a near half-turn]

Disoriented, everything paused for a moment. Dumbfounded and motionless, I felt my heart pound hard and fast. The first thing I did after hitting reality was feel my jaw to look for signs of dislocation; but I felt an even but painful right. I checked the condition of the car - NOT NICE, not surprised. I checked the condition of the other car, a gargantuan compared to the Savvy, a HILUX. Not BAD but not good either . The driver of the Hilux got down, looked at his baby's butt, looked at our curvy Savvy, looked around and got to know us.

Brother: I'm dead.
*pause*
Friend: What just happened?
*pause*
Brother: Shit.
*pause*
ME: Get down from the car and talk to the guy.
*brother gets out*
ME [almost inaudible]: Oh my...heck.
*my eyes wide open* [okaylah, I know my eyes are small but I somehow widened them okay?]
ME: So busted.
*almost motionless*
ME: What the heck just happened?
Friend: He was quite close to the car then he braked but it was too late.
*Janna says zilch, eyes still wide open, heart pumping superduper fast...[I need to take in oxygen to connect and opened my mouth to hasten the process. LOL]*
ME: This is bad.
*pause*
ME: But he wasn't speeding.
Friend: He was quite close to the car.
ME: What the heck...
Friend: I thought I was gonna die.
ME: I didn't even see what happened.
*pause*
ME: Suddenly I go crashing into the front seat and my jaw freaking hurts. Heck, what just happened?
*pause*
Friend: Is the car okay?
ME: Hoho, the car is definitely not okay. And my brother won't be okay either.
*pause*
ME: This is so scary. Oh my gosh. Scare the hell out of me. *takes in air with a gulp*

Friend goes out to check on the car, I followed.
*brother phones mom and dad*
I looked at the car, scared like crap because it looked like scrap.

Scrap metal/car:

A lost cause.


Sullied Savvy.

And when Japhia heard about the accident, guess what she said.
"Awww, I cannot go out so often anymore."
:S

The Hilux which was very much intact.


The one circled in white is part of the Savvy's bumper. LOL.
Apparently the Savvy went under the Hilux, how can it not?


Thoughts at that moment:
1. I bet if I sat in front, I would have screamed and cried.
2. Maybe it isn't a bad idea getting my license later after all...much later.
3. If I were sitting in the middle instead of the lefthand corner of the backseat, I would have crashed the windscreen and made my frost mark in tempered glass.
4. Normally I'd sit in the middle but the thing about me is that I like to even up in vehicles so since my brother is heavy and the girl is light, I sat behind the girl.
5. YES! I'M GOING TO MISS TUITION! WOOHOOO! WEEEE! Oh shoot, I'm going to miss tuition.
6. Scaredscaredscaredscaredscared.
7. What if I died?

Yesterday morning I woke up with an aching right shoulder, hand and jaw. For this I can truly say "It's all right!"

The good news is: I'M ALIVE! :D

Wo, dude. Praise the Lord, you're alright. I've been in a crash where the car rolled several times. The Lord got me through that without a scratch. Heh. My friend even drove his car back to his house albeit...clunky. :D

Hehe. The verification word is "unflat".
