Why?
It was past 2 o'clock in the morning yesterday when I fell down the stairs at our new place. I had just removed my contacts, and was going to the bathroom before I retired for the night. So ayun, bulag ako, di pa sanay sa hagdan dito... kaya nagdagasa talaga ako. I missed the last step, kasi naman lahat nung previous steps kahoy, tapos yung last step, and the landing after that, parehong marmol.
So gets? As far as my blind eyes could see, WALA na yung last step. So I missed it. And fell hard on my butt. And hurt my left foot in the process. Oh and something cracked, but I'm not sure if it was my foot, or the floor. :P
Ayun, natigilan lang ako, holding my injured foot and moaning silently. Haha. Then I did my business in the bathroom, went up, opened the night lamp, closed the lights and lied down on my bed. Then I said to Patty, "Patty, nahulog ako sa hagdan..."
"Ha? Galing sa taas? Nagpagulong-gulong ka??"
"Sana hindi. E di dapat narinig mo!"
"Malay ko ba!"
Then the chills started. The room was cold, but I guess that wasn't the reason. I was just so scared of the possibility that I could have broken something. And that I had an appointment with Chikka the next day, meaning I'd have to use the UNENDING stairs at the MRT station in Ortigas. Deadness! Hahah. Anyway, sobrang walang kwenta naman ang Patty at sabi lang ng sabi, "Ate, nakakatakot ka! Ano ba? Umaarte ka lang yata e!"
Hay. She ended up texting Mamwah in Lipa about my fall and my "scary" chills, which Mamwah read at about 4 in the morning... she woke up Paolo and before 6am, both of them were already in a bus... to come to my rescue. Hahaha. I woke up at 9am to the sound of Mamwah's voice calling from the door. (They brought me breakfast, Jollibee!) Hehe.
Ayun. The rest, medyo nakwento na naman in detail ni Paolo.
Sa ngayon, nakakalakad na naman ako. But I think my fear of hagdans just got worse. :P

Awww. *hugs*
Nahulog ako sa make-shift monkey bars noong 9 years old ako. Sempre dahil make shift sa semento ako nahulog. Unang tumama yung kaliwang siko ko...
So nakahiga ako sa semento. May konting pain, pero bearable. Wala namang dugo, so okay lang. I suppose I was lucky.
Then I saw my arm bent on the wrong direction.
I couldn't move it for the next two months.

Sooner or later, I guess all of us has to go through that horrible experience of the "first fall".
Nalaglag din ako sa stairs naman sa school nung first year. If I remember correctly, 3 steps yata yun! But surprisingly, I didn't get hurt. :P
And now, because of 1 stupid step, hindi ako makalakad ng halos isang araw! Tsk tsk.
