Holy Order™ - RF Online Philippines | Why I was absent for PL (Part 1)

Tonight was supposed a night of power levelling especially for the lower levelled members of the guild. There are a handful of them, especially those that came from Rohan or the other games that the guild players, and they requested a PL session for tonight. Unfortunately, something happened along the way; from office to home, that lead my being absent for tonight's session -- coupled with bruises and a wrecked Revo.

First off, that Revo is of a sentimental value to us like our car before it. We've had that SUV since 2000 and it's in tip-top shape except for some gashes on the side exterior. Tonight was the first time that it had to be towed, and it was the first time that it got damaged that badly. What happened was rather quick, and quite painful for me. One, it's been a while since I got hit like that on the face. The last time I got hit that hard was when I was in the ROTC and I was in a fight. Two, a friend was with me and I don't know what I would've done if something happened to her too. Three, REVO GOT SO BADLY DAMAGED!

Ok, enough of the intro. This was what happened. I'll give you two narrations: 1) Before the accident and while we were waiting for the police to arrive; 2) After the accident and when I was on the way home.

It was my usual route after our Monday meetings with the client. I get off work, then head off to pick up a friend if she was going to ride with me on the way home. Then, I take Buendia then turn towards EDSA going towards Diosdado Macapagal Avenue (Drive, whatever). As usual, there were buses and those rude jeepneys, so I take the leftmost lane to avoid all the fuss on the right. Straight, straight, then I pass Taft crossing then go straight. There was the usual U-turn slot so I move to the right lane to avoid it.

As I was going straight, I saw this Delica PUV coming right at me. At first, I thought: "Ah, it's going to stop or hit the divider." But, it was going so fast so I blinked. Apparently, my hands and feet did something to move me about a few more meters forward. BOOM! Revo got hit by that effed up PUV. The first thing I did was look at my friend. She was stunned but she was looking at me and was searching for injuries on me. She was fine, but my lip felt numb, and my right cheek was kinda numb; kinda throbbing with an ounce of pain.

I then look outside to see the damage to my car. I couldn't see clearly. I thought my right eye was badly hurt, but it seemed after a few seconds that the right lens popped out of the frame of my glasses. I closed my right eye so I could see with my left eye clearly. My side of the car was very very VERY badly damaged. The side mirror flew into the car, smashing my door window, and it was probably the thing that hit me on my face. Shattered glass was EVERYWHERE inside the car. I couldn't move coz I was in a state of shock. I was more concerned with my friend and myself, and after I established that we were both alive, I started calling people. What I saw was that both doors on my side were wrecked. The cabin pillar was pushed inside, and my seat was actually pushed towards the passenger side. I was so mad at that point in time but I couldn't get out since I wanted to wait for the police.

Finally, I was able to reach my boss. I told him what happened and he rushed to our location. I sent Ria (Astraea) a text message to tell her what happened, and I tried to call Bots (Tango). Then, I called my uncle and my cousin. Ria wanted to go to where we were but I figured it was so far from her this time around, so I asked her to just wait for my updates. Bots, was actually in the crapper when I called up, but he drove to my location from wherever he was. When he got to the accident area, my boss, uncles, and cousin were already there, but there was still no police. This happened at around 10PM.

After a while, I asked Bots to bring my friend home since she was ok, and so that he (Bots) can go home as well. There were more specifics at that point, but basically evidence was gathered and I was brought to the station at around 12:30AM. Yes, we were the cause of traffic at EDSA around that time period. At the station, they asked for our statements, which we wrote on paper.

I'll continue this later, but now I must rest. My hair's already dry.
