Life is short...almost

sept. 29 was something really big, well, for one, it was our monthsary, second, SM Bic had a sale so we went there being the "shopaholic" that we are, third,our life was almost cut short (i might just be OA about it but it was almost the end of everything)

at around 12.40ish in the evening my besh and I weredrivng on the slex going towards sucat exit as we have already dropped enri off in metropolis. a 10 wheeler trailer truck was in front of us and we have actually thought of swerving but we also might get caught and hesitated. sucat toll gate was in a slope so we waited at the foot as we didn't want to be anywhere near behind the truck.the truck had moved backwards, we actually thought that it was just revving up to move forward as it was a manual transmission vehicle. but then it never moved forward, it continued moving down the slope hitting our car.it hit us i think thrice bouncing on and off the car bumper.armi was able to manage to reverse the car and lessen the damage. we were already ready to jump out of the car if it did not stop hitting us.during the whole time, i felt numb, my head wasn't really clear, and thinking that if i die that day then i dont really know what would happen next. we were such in a panic.having a 10 wheeler truck hit you was really something to take the living whatever out of you. the only good thing that we saw on that very situation was that the truck was reversing slowly and that the other truck behind us had also moved backwards giving us the space to reverse the car and get away from the 10-wheeler truck, if not, we would have been sandwiched by two big vehicles. the truck driver admitted that their breaks wasn't really strong and that they had already hit a car back ain alabang - we were their second hit for the night. we went to tmg-bicutan to settle things up and waited for the owner of the truck and armi's parents.we waited for about 2 hours when they arrived. things where settled there and we were able to went home at around 4 am. the story in the tmg office would be for another time, right now, we're just glad nothing bad happened. we were still shoked though...i still can't get behind the wheels.hopefully ill get over it...soon
