It was last december 18, 2007. It was the course card day in my school. Since i got there, i was already experiencing a headache and I know that i was not in good condition. I still need to finish the day because I want to know my grades for the term. It ended around 6pm. During that time, the Light Rail Transit was stopped. Rumors said that it was bombed during that time that's why it can't be used for the mean time. So i was forced to get a taxi. I really need to go to Makati(Philippines) because my family will be meeting there. It took us 20minutes to leave Manila because of the traffic. Inside the taxi, I was really woozy and can even think on what to do next. I realized that i was really tired after the final exams. As soon as we got to the highway (Osmena highway in Makati), it was also traffic. I really didn't see what happened that time. I remember that the taxi driver saw an open lane. Knowing that the road was really jammed, he stepped on the gas and quickly inserted the taxi in the lane. By the time the taxi driver sped up, we were smashed by some kind of a vehicle. It was really hard bringing my head crack on the window. I was unconscious for some minutes. That was the biggest headache I ever had for years. I opened my eyes and saw this huge bus on our side. I found out that we were rammed by this bus. After the incident, the taxi driver took me to the nearest hospital and said that the fare is free of charge. The doctors gave me pain killers and it went really well. I thought i will be alright after that. The next day, my head starts killing me again. Then it led to a high fever. I got sick for three days and decided to go to the hospital for check-up. I was shocked that I have a Mild Concussion. I got scared though. Realizing that I tend to forget things and even names. Doctors said, in order to regain the memory that I momentarily lost, it will go back as soon as somenone tells it to me. For example, i saw someone who visited me during the time that I was sick. I didn't knew who it was but my mom told me that it was my friend from high school. After that I knew who that visitor was. I think its gonna be hard for me. The 3rd term is about to start and my mind is not completely heeled yet. I hope that it will be ok as soon as possible....

This is so sad. I hope you are ok. I mean, I know you are studying and you have temporary memory loss, that can be scary for a student. What if you lose all the things you have studied... gosh, that really is scary. I hope you will be ok soon.
