Vanessa on Convertible Heels

So yesterday was Chinese New Year. :) We all wore red, and together with my family, some relatives and friends, we all went to Teresa, Rizal to check out a farm.

There was no hint under that bright bright day that something tragic would happen. After seeing the land and some uncomfortable lurches of our stomachs, we started to head home around 1:00 pm.

When we were down on a road in Antipolo, an unexpected turnout of events occurred.

I was feeling really sick already. I was having a mild fever due to the common cold I acquired the night before. I was curling up to a ball in the backseat just behind the driver’s, where my dad was at the moment. 

My head was resting on the window, when the guy behind me shouted. I opened my eyes and there it was. The back part of a truck was whirling towards our van! I was helpless. For a split second, I thought the truck was going to pierce the van door and shove its dirty, probably even rusty bodice, towards my frail, and utterly hyperthermic trunk. :(

Good thing, the collision wasn’t that strong, although it did leave a terrible dent on our van. :(

This is how we got hit by that driver-less truck. It was being pushed by some men on an downward-inclined rode. :( 

The terrible dent. :(

So there. This incident really made me realize that life is short. Too short. I could have been in a hospital bed right now, but thank God, I wasn’t. No one was harmed, and we are just so fortunate that all of us are still alive. :’)

Treasure every moment, it can be or may be the last.

Be safe everyone! :)
