SNOWY Monday and Last Year’s Misfortune

I wake up this morning surprised to know that it is snowing. Call me whatever, but I am really scared of driving in snow. So I get up and put up a brave face. I have no choice but to go to work. The usual five-minute drive to the office took me thirty minutes. I was really freaking out. I was anticipating for an accident to happen. I could feel it. Of course, I was right. When I was almost in the office, my car spin. “Not again, oh Lord. I am done with this.” I didn’t hit the brake as I learned my lesson well when I rolled over my car a year ago . Then a flash back of memory :

Spring of last year, I rolled over my car in an interstate highway. Apparently, my back tire blew-out and panic hovered me so I hit the brake. Right there and then, my car flipped twice. I was driving 80 mph. Luckily, I got out with no scratch. I believe it was a miracle. The insurance totaled my car for it was unrepairable.

I am lucky again today. I almost hit the sidewalk post but other than that, I was fine. It took me a while to gather myself and head to work. I was still trembling with nervous when I got to my desk.

I don’t want to experience the horror of a car accident again. I had enough mishaps with cars. (I was hit by a car when I was eleven.) So to drive in a snow was just horrifying to me. I hate snow! Ayaw ko nang mag-flip!

Terrified and Freezing,
