My recent absence from the blogosphere is due to an accident. An Accident that almost took a friend’s life. The accident happened wednesday morning, I was busy finishing a report and it occured to me to check my mobile phone. And yeah I did. There were several messages on my Inbox. As I carefully read through each message my heart skipped a beat when the last message popped-out saying a friend met an accident a few minutes ago and is now being rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, it was already my time-out. I hurriedly logged off my station and cleared my desk. In less than 3 minutes I was already out of the office. I called my friends asking them which hospital she was taken. In minutes, I was already in the emergency section but was not admitted - hospital policy. I had to wait until almost 11am until her sister came out and said that everything was gonna be okay. I went home and was half-asleep, half-awake. It was 6pm when I decided to back to the hospital. The moment I entered her private room, I froze. My knees locked. It took almost 3 minutes for me to utter a word. I saw her eggplant-colored swollen face. Her left eye was severely swollen, her arms were full of bruises too. She had to be scheduled for surgery. Titanium will be implanted on her left eye. The surgery was just this morning. I’m praying that everything will turn out just fine.

She was drunk when the accident happened. She was brave enough to drink and drive. Too bad. Tsk. Tsk.

From now on, I’ll Never DRINK and DRIVE. Not even a single drop!

I’m sad.
