my life and death battle

Feb 2, 2007 - Feb 3, 2007. The Celebration

My friend Ken, celebrated her birthday in a resort near our subdivision. She used to celebrate her b-day and some sort of our special occasions in that resort and because of that, we established a good relationship with the owner and staffs. My boyfriend and I arrived at pass 9PM of Feb. 2. Surprisingly, we got company. Peejay's friends – compose of boys and girls but basically we don't know them. Around 11.30Pm when we’re in the midst of our happiness, the least unexpected happened.

Peejay's friends went to a trip and threw Peejay in the pool while he was asleep (sa sobrang kalasingan). Karlo and Ken didn't liked what happened and Karlo told them that it was not funny at all. Ken kept quiet. They said sorry -- that’s how they make fun/ magbiruan with each other. Grelly whispered to Karlo "tol, pag gumalaw ka, gagalaw din ako".

When suddenly a guy went to our table and pulled Grelly's chair and threw it in the pool. Grelly pushed the guy and everything went to chaos. Everybody was trying to calm both parties. My girl friends hugged Grelly and pulled him away leading him to the corner near the pool. Surprisingly, some of the guys already pulled monoblock chairs and bottles and hit Grelly. Phillipp pushed them off and in return he got hit in the arm. I hold my bf and told him not to fight back. I was standing aback when suddenly I got hit in the head causing it to bleed and made me dizzy. My blood was running down my face, my nails were getting violet; I was starting to fall asleep. vanni trying to make me awake - "ate wag kang matutulog, ate wag kang matutulog". My blood was all over the floor, I left a blood stain in the table.

Philipp's wound

After that incident, we went to the nearest hospital and ask for medico legal assistance. ince my cut was really a concern, the Dr. informed my mom that they are going to stitch my wound.

5 STITCHES.

FEB 9, 2007. Midterm examination
I FAILED! i wasn't aware that we will be having our midterm exam (today). i know that what happened to me is not an excuse. T_T even though i don't know much and not prepared, still i took the exam. i hate taking special exams anyway.


FEB 28, 2007. First day of Hearing
We've seeked advises from different Attorneys, and they told us that their appearance is unnecessary since it is only a settlement. In short, we went to hearing without an Atty.

the moment of truth. the fiscal asked me where it happened and i answered. i thought he will ask me / us to tell the whole story but unfortunately he did not. The fiscal checked, read and investigate our medico legal and police statement.

"naguguluhan ako sa police statement mo/nyo, baguhin nyo `to, hindi ko alam kung sino sa inyong dalawa ang nagsasalita eh. ano ba to? ah joint pala." fiscal said. "yan po kasi ung ginawa ng police eh" i answered. "may chance din na mabago `tong statement mo dito sa gagawin mong bago", fiscal insist.

"eh paano ka ba napalo?" fiscal asked. "nakatalikod po" i replied. "eh base dito sa medico legal mo puro pasa lang inabot mo eh", fiscal teased. "may 5 stitches po ako sa ulo" i insist. "eh.., sa Dr. na gumawa nyan ang kausapin mo". said the fiscal. then my opponents Atty. said, "eh yung mga ganyan, usually 9-10 days lang tinatagal eh", (acted boastfully)

the fiscal said, "initial lang tong medical certificate mo, ang kailangan ko is ung permanent medical certified", then i told the fiscal i have my insurance with me, certifying my attending physician's treatment given to me. then the fiscal harshly said, "ay hindi, sa susunod mo na ipresent yan, ung mga evidences mo".

"so ok no, sa ganitong kaso kung magkakaayos kayo ngayon, ay yun ay kung magkakasundo kayo. so dapat sa inyo manggaling ung initial offer nyo (my opponents) to settle this matter" he continued.

"ay hindi, iprepresent ko muna yung evidences ko bago ako makipag settle sa kanila" i dictate.

then their Atty. acting so confident and boastfully said, "ay kung ganyan din pala, eh di magfifile kami ng counter affidavit". and i bravely answered, "OK".


MARCH 14, 2007. second day of hearing
I have my Atty. My friends were also present; like what i've said, i have all the necessary documents needed. the opponent's Atty. was not present, and also, they failed to file their counter affidavit.

My Atty. gave them another chance to file their counter affidavit and we will be having our final hearing. Oh well, sounds interesting.
