ten-wheeler trucks.
Posted by priti_jamels at 11:48 PM on May 18, 2006.
Did you know that ten-wheeler trucks are the largest trucks allowed on the road.
Did you know that they are mostly used for long-haul purposes, often in semi-trailer configuration.
Did you know that in many countries with good roads a 6-axle truck may have a maximum weight over 50 tonnes (50,000 kg).
Did you also know that three years ago, my parents, my auntie, my little brother, my 2 cousins, our guy helper and our family driver decided to go to our province and take a night trip (instead of the usual day trip).
Did you know that three years ago, one of my 2 cousins just spent his summer in our house. He was supposed to go back to his home that night.
Did you know that before their night trip, my mother bought 4 Jollibee yum burgers: one for kuya, one for me, one for my little brother and one for my cousin. My little brother already finished his burger and asked me if he could have mine. I said no.
Did you know that before they left, I scolded my little brother because he was not following me. I told him to give the shoes to our aunt,
e parang nakakalimutan niya so I got irritated at him. Yet, I never heard a complaint from him and he just followed what I said.
Did you know that I was supposed to join them in the trip but I decided to stay since the van was already full.
Did you know that it will take 10 hours just to reach our province. They left at around 8pm.
I slept at around 11.30pm.
..And then around 12.30am, Kuya opened my room's door. He was trembling.
Nawawala si Bart. Nawawala si Bart.
I wondered what Kuya meant.
Naaksidente sina papa. Nawawala si Bart.
I started to call my uncles and aunts. I tried to contact my parents. I got no answers from their cellphones.
I finally saw myself crying, wondering what really happened, worrying.
Gusto ko silang puntahan.
My uncles and aunts did not want us to know about what really happened. Especially to Kuya.
I got a phone call from my father. He was the one who told me that a ten-wheeler truck accidentally pushed the van sa cliff. He was the one who told me that my mother's condition was critical and got her upper lip cut. He was the one who told me that my brother and my cousin alread died.
My brother and I hugged each other because that was the only way I could hug my loved ones. I hugged Kuya because I know it was going to be hard for us, especially for him.
My little brother and my cousin died on Kuya's birthday.
-----
I cannot believe I am writing this.
It happened three years ago.
Three years ago.
But I feel like it just happened yesterday.
I still cannot stop crying.
And these tears do have reasons.
Period.
taster.

nakakalungkot.
it has never happened before and i never thought it would even happen.
magkagalit kami ng ever-so papa ko.
nakakabother.
madaling magalit si papa, kahit si mama at kuya napapagalitan niya.
but never sa akin.
..`cause am a papa's girl.
i always get what i want.
but last friday and saturday, i went too far.
let's just say my father was right.
i understand why he reacted that way.
kahit siguro ako, mapapagalitan ko sarili ko.
but `twas so sweeeeet of him na ipasundo pa rin ako kahit na galit na galit siya sa akin.
i never thought papa would do that to me.
and right now, i cannot believe we're not eating and watching NBA all star together.
honestly, nahihiya ako sa kanya.
it's actually easy for me to say sorry.
..but not to my father.
and it's making me lonely.
papa, am really sorry. please forgive your butchay na..
period.
caffeine.

palakpakan naman natin ako.
one month without caffeine.
mahalaga iyon para isang coffee addict.
aba akalain mo, nabawasan kahit papaano ang risk niya na magkaroon ng heart disease.
bukas, iinom na ako ng unlimited coffee.
umalis ka muna, tubig.
bumalik na ang kape sa mundo ko.
welcome back caffeine, i missed you so much.
period.
