I did not expect it! It was a good afternoon in February when it hit me. I had a nice lunch in Alavar, seafood and all! yes! Met a good friend, spent time in Lantaka doing something great in my laptop (actually tutoring someBODY). Then when the clock hit 4pm, I was almost unconscious. My head felt heavy, shoulders stiff as if all the weight of the world was on me. I wondered what was going on in my head as I tried to read reasons. It did not stop but I had to be calm, told myself to take a deep breath and things will be fine. So far, it worked.. just a little bit! At least to lift my head and go to the hospital. It was my first time to be in an emergency situation with myself as the “bida”. It was uncomfortable, I did not want the attention - people looking, hovering, assisting to go to the toilet. I was in self denial. I was in a battle with myself that I am strong but in truth, no man is an island. And YES, it happened. Good thing I was out of there in a jiffy after two doses of medicine. I went home like it did not happen. My parents were just in awe after telling them of the news. It was my first day in the lives of my parents. Months have passed and I AM ONE OF THEM. Eat heathy to live longer. =)
