When I Thought Natural Disaster Might Kill Me....

I already planned going home about two days earlier. It turns out, my colleague was about to go back to the city as well. He and I set out a bit late. We packed our things and departed at around 4 p.m which, I knew that it would be a rush hour. On the way, we were talking about how happy it would be if the service is over. My colleague was riding the motorbike at a normal speed until we reached the highway where he increased the speed. Everything seemed fine until there was a car in front of us that he wanted to avoid. My colleague was trying to avoid a collision with a car yet instead, he hit a cyclist who was about to cross the street. My colleague and I were rolling around the asphalt for a second. I was lucky there was no trucks nor cars passing in front of me and I didn't lose any consciousness. I was wide awake watching the whole thing happened. Fortunately, the cyclist was fine.

Then I was rushed to a small clinic nearby to get a simple help. Shortly, My colleague and I were sent home since we had no serious sign of injury. However, after reaching home, I felt my body was cold. In that moment, I knew something was really wrong. I was then sent into an emergency room and received a decent medical treatment. It turns out, I was lacking oxygen supply to the brain. I stayed there for 30 minutes before I was sent home again.

Ten more days before I could be away from this deceiving paradise.Since almost everyday I have to deal with villagers burning their trash, the natural disasters that might come whenever as they please and other unpleasant things. This place is fit for those who need a wake up call on how to be grateful with their life. Perhaps this is the essence of community service; to feel grateful of our convenient life.
