okay.
reality check.

i
have
just
saved
a
woman's
life.

how's that?

okay.okay.

u see.we had 3d class today.i stayed back a bit to do my work but we ended up watching xmen the animated series.hey.as animation studies.we are entitled to watch.so dun gripe.

i was about to head home to start on my 3d.
just go off the bus stop.
i remember yellowcard was playing in the bg.
well okay.my background.
crossed the road.
tapping my fingers.
sat down at the busstop.
turned to see when the bus was coming.
noticed that a girl was sitting there.
not just any girl.
a girl that was clinging on to her chest in pain.
some by stander nearby asked for water.den i noticed that she was really in pain.
i shook my head.stood up and looked around.
the minimart was closed.down i think.hasn;t been open for quite a while alr.
i remembered seeing a night market down the road.near the shopping mall.
i got up and ran over there.damm.luckily my leg wasn't down like the past few days.add the fact i had my bag and everything with me.yeah i was stupid.didn't think more to put it at the busstop.
yeah so anyway.i ran and ran and got the water and ran and ran back to her.i stopped when i saw the school girl (who asked whether i had water) walking back.i thot it was over.but she motioned for me to hurry up as she was still there.then i was.okay.

yeah so i got back there.motioned for her to drink up.and then i stayed by her trying to talk to her.another guy who was there alr was busy calling someone.which i supposed was the ambulance.i sat down beside her and comforted her.asking her to breathe slowly with me.after she calmed down a bit.i asked her what her name was.

no reply

i asked her if she stayed nearby.

she nodded.

okay.den i asked her if she had any frends or relatives in the area.she struggled to take her hp out and scrolled down her phonebook just to reach a number.i handed the hp over to the guy and asked him to call her frend.while i attended to her.talking.comforting her and everything.
he then came back and said her frend's on the way.

a while later.a mom with her little boy came along and asked us what was happening.and she thot i was her bf.what the helll!!!

ed's note: she was in her early 20's if im not wrong.plus.she's not too bad either.
ed's note: im sorry

yeah so anyway.i asked if they had tissue and it was fortunate enough that they had some with them.by then she had saliva and mucus on her mouth.and her condition seemed to be getting worse.so i asked her to breathe with me after wiping her mouth clean.

we breathed slowly together and i made her follow my pace.i even counted for her.

slllloooowwwwllyyyy.

yes.it seemed to be working.

okay.everything is calm now.she is now lying face facing the ground.bending over.slowly she tried to sit up.but she kept bending back down.only to breathe even more heavily.

i was running out of options.i had the mom call the ambulance.apparantly the guy didn't call em.while she was doing so.i was putting her on her back.asking her to hold on.help would be arriving and she would be okay.i kept repeating that to her.and kep reminding myself that everything was gona be okay.we r not gona lose her.not after she salivated on my hand anyway.

a while later.a vehicle stopped by.it happened to be a frend of the guy.

we figured that it mite be faster bringing her to the hospital den waiting for the ambulance to pick us up.so after a while we managed to get her into the car and the mom wanted to go along with us so the child had to tag along.there wasn't enuff space so i decided to let them go.

yeah.i went home after dat.after wiping em off.oh and sue.yeah.it was mouth to mouth.

the funny thing was that.i dont know first aid.never tried to learn it.(okay.once.but it was forced) and yet i managed to help the girl.whateva i did.i got it from the tube.yeah.so i gota thank it.

also.i didn;t know that i was capable of smth liddat.i guess when the something unexpected happens.u just gota act on instinct.i never knew i had it in me.i dun think anyone who knew me knew it was inside me.i guess its just believing in urself.

yeah.remember i mentioned i was listening to yellowcard.well.i was listening to the song believe.and part of it talked about the strength of heart.i guess we are all heroes in some ways or another.we all can stand up and be counted for.we are strong.we just need to believe.

getting serious now eh? yeah right whateva.

i still gota rush my screenwriting.im late as it is.
maybe i shuld do a story on dat.
my whole weekend would be burnt.enough with 3d and the grands coming over.and to top it off.my weekdays would be spent on shoot.spent man.so spent.

oh and ppl from apostrophe came by to do recce for ndp shoot.far out man.

that reminds me i need to spread "far out" to the campus.ken's idea

eventful day huh?

i sure hope she's okay.

please.
