There's long time event I would like to share with you guys. I find it funny and sad at the same time. I can't remember how old I was but I know I was in kindergarden so I must be 5 years old. My mom bought a mini blackboard and some chalks for me. She would tutor me at math and the blackboard would be used for me to show her my calculations. Let me tell you what! My mom is BAD at tutoring. I was nervous and my hands were sweaty. Everytime I made a mistake, she would spank me with a chopstick. Lol! It did hurt but it wasn't that bad. So at one point, I would hid those evil choptsicks underneath my bed. So one day, I did a mistake in my additions...
Mom: =_='' How can you make that stupid mistake??? We did this many times already!
Me: :/
Mom: BRING ME THE CHOPTICK!!!
Me: *pretends to look for it* ...I can't find it...
Mom: ...What?... *looks for it as well but couldn't find it* Ok...redo the calculations again...next time, you will get hit with a chopstick...
Me: :3
Haha! It wasn't that bad. I did some mistakes once in a while. But everytime she hit me with that chopstick, I was soo angry at her an this was what I was thinking at 5 years old after mom hitted me with a chopstick: 'Just wait and see!!! When I grow up, I'll hit you back with the chopstick when you will get younger like me! I'll make you taste all the pain you gave me! > : ( ' In case you are wondering what the hell I was thinking back then, let me explain you. I thought that when I would turn into an adult, she would become younger magically and when i would go back to a child. Damn I was soo innocent back then. I didn't know that people could die when they reach an age limit. I thought that all the people who died in the actions movies were just fiction. I only learned the truth when my mom told me...
Mom: *sigh* You have to wash the dishes...I asked you to do it since this morning. I have alot of work to do.
Me: :(
Mom: What will you do if I'm not around? You'll have to survive if I'm not with you...
Me: Huh? What do you mean? You are leaving me?
Mom: No...I mean one day I will die. I'm not going to survive forever!
Me: What??? T.T *gets teary eyes*
Mom: Well everybody dies one day...
Me: Noooo! I don't want you to die! *cries*
Mom: No! No! :O I'm not dying! *hugs me* But death is not someone can avoid...everyone has to go through that one day.
She conforted me and I remember going to shool the next day all depressed. I told my friends about the terrible discovery I've found about death and they all comforted me back saying that it's part of life. Afterwards, I always cared for people around me afraid I would lose them one day.
Talking about death, I almost lost my life around 6 years ago when I was still going to college.. I had a lunch break at that time with Thany and we were walking back to school. We crossed the street and then I hear Thany screaming: 'GLORIA!!!'. I was surprised by how quickly he pulled me away. He doesn't look that strong but I guess that the adrenaline makes your dormant strenght awake. Next, I felt something whipping me at the backbone tail and both of us were on the ground. What hapenned? It was soo fast! I tried to get up but couldn't. The car that hitted me stopped and the driver, a young female student, ran to me saying...
Girl: Are you ok?
Me: No...it hurts.
Thany was in shock and one of my shoe was at least 7 meters away from me. Anyone walking by were on their phones...I guess they called the ambulance. A cute guy out of nowhere ran to me and was like...
Cute guy: I'll take you to the hospital. *lifts me up*
Thany: @_@
Me: Owwwww! It hurts! *Any moves with my back would be painful*
Girl (driver): Put her back down...
Cute guy: :/ *puts me down*
Girl: Don't worry, everything will be fine. It's not the first time it's happening to me.
It was soo painful that I didn't pay attention to anything but the pain. It was only later on when I was at the hospital that I realized that a cute guy lifted me up and that girl saying it's not her first time...What did she mean? Did she hit other people before??? Anyway, I was there in the middle of the street and I even blocked the passage of a firetruck! But they wer really nice. They covered me with a blanket because it was January when all of this hapenned so it was cold. Alot of people gathered around me curious of what hapenned. I must admit I was somewhat shy because i don't like being the center of the attention...especially in this kind of situation. An old granny came smiling and asked to the fireman: 'What hapenned?'. I mean isn't it that obvious? And what's so funny to smile about? The ambulance and the police came. Then I was taken to the hospital. After going through many medical tests, they let me go home 5 hours later. The thing with the cute guy really happened but I just mentionned it for a laugh...but seriously, Thany i the hero here. I'm soo grateful Thany was there to save my life. If he wasn't there, I could be in a wheelchair or lose my legs. So scary! I never thought it would happen to me. Death is random. Its target can be a person from any sex, age, nationality, rich or poor. It can happen anytime! I am blessed I am still alive. Thank Douglas!
What is happiness? It means knowing sadness. What is pleasure? It means knowing pain. What is life? It means knowing death...
Ok readers! It's sleeping time! So see you next time!
