just like that.

still a bit shaken.

my 8-month old car was hit by a 10-wheeler truck barely 4 hours ago. i was in Meralco Avenue on my way to the hospital where my nephew is confined, when this enormous stupid piece of vehicle swerved and hit the left side of my car. i managed to step on the break and prevent further damage as he continued to skid and put a nice big gash on my car and flip the side mirror outwards.

if you happened to pass by this area around 4 pm earlier, we were the ones causing the slowdown. and man, i've never been that furious in my entire life. i tried to manage my temper but when this stupid truck driver with his mocking smile insisted that i was at fault (when clearly, if you see the damage on my car, i was the one HE hit), i kinda lost it and I almost wanted to cuss big time, but i didn't. Pardon the words, pero may kagaguhan talaga.

my car has this ugly scar now and i have to sort out the insurance, the repair, my sched when i can't use it. just not the best time if i may say.

nevertheless, i'm just thankful i'm still in one piece. if the truck had been any faster or swerved a litttle more to the right, i could've been crushed, just like that.
