Surreal

November 8, 2008

I opened my eyes and saw that it was already 10:56 am. I could hear a noisy argument downstairs. As usual, my two uncles were having a senseless debate about politics. Uncle Lazaro and Uncle Henry have always been exchanging vocal blows since time immemorial and I was certain that it was just ‘one of those’ times. Suddenly, the people downstairs began shouting and calling for ‘Help’. The debate has turned into a scuffle.

I raced downstairs and looked through the window. From where I stood, I could clearly see how Uncle Lazaro pounced on Uncle Henry. He was giving it his all. It’s as though he released the entire family’s long-time animosity for Uncle Henry through his deadly punches.

My cousin’s policeman husband arrived and he was able to separate the two angry men. They both wanted to finish each other off. My grandmother was wailing but the two men continued yapping. My other uncles were able to separate the two angry men.

Uncle Henry’s mouth was bloody. Uncle Lazaro’s legs were bloody.

Suddenly, the argument became heated once again and the two men seemed like they were ready to fight once more.

Before they could hurt each other some more, however, Uncle Lazaro slumped to the ground.

In less than ten minutes, Uncle Lazaro was dead.

My other uncles took him to the nearest hospital. They thought that he simply passed out. We later learned, however, that he died around that time when he lost consciousness. Cardiac arrest.

It’s very surreal how life can end so suddenly.

Sumilon Trip Everything was set. After months of planning (and saving LOL), me and my friends were finally going to Sumilon. We were all very excited.

At around 8:00 pm, Saturday, me and my mom went out on my motorbike to buy some chips and bottled water for my Sumilon trip. We drove down Salinas Drive and turned right on Archbishop Reyes. As we approached the Grand Convention Center, I saw a car with a flashing left turn signal on. So we reduced our speed from 40 and eventually stopped a few meters away from the vehicle.

The Accident We were waiting for the car to turn left when something suddenly bumped the motorbike from behind. I heard a loud smashing sound as I was thrown forward. When I got up, I immediately looked for my mom. She was thrown off the bike because of the impact. I was relieved when I saw that she was all right. Except for some scratches on her legs and some bruises on her arms and shoulders, she was okay. My legs were numb and I found out that I had some bruises and bumps on my right shin and a huge nasty burn behind my left leg.

Malu Fernandez: I’m Back Y’all!

Malu Fernandez, that woman who rocked the nation with her ‘jovial’ remarks about economy-seats-being-too-small-for-+++size-people and Pinoy OFWs who wear too much local sprays, is back! This time, she’s mad. Nope, not ‘angry’ mad. She’s ‘WWIII’ mad. And this time, she chose a new demographic. She got tired of our good ole OFWs. This time, she opted for the more ‘interactive bunch’. Us. Bloggers.

In her new article ‘The Problem With Blogging’, MF decries the act of hiding behind a username. She is challenging everyone to become badasses and face her. In the flesh. She condemns those who bask in the joys of anonymity in cyberspace. She wants real faces. Hardhitting views and commentaries with real unphotoshopped faces. She wants brave souls. And nasty, spiteful, sharp comments with real faces.
