7 feet deep

have u ever had a n e a r _d e a t h _e x p e r i e n c e ? well, kung ako ang tatanuning mo, wala pa naman. pero just yesterday, i had an experience that scared the daylights out of clarence and prof.mascardo... hihihi.. and here was how it happened. . .

we were having this make-up class yesterday for P.E bcoz Prof won't be available on Wednesday. so we went upstairs, had some reporting and then went downstairs to where the pool was. clarence and i were even laughing coz it was one of the days that we weren't late for PE class.. when we got down, we got stopped momentarily. apparently, another PE (swimming) class was there too. and i doubted whether we would join forces at the shallowest part of the pool. . . after waiting a few minutes and a blissful second's conversation, we were off to the showers. then we went to the pool area at last. but . . . . . . .

my theory proved to be true. the thing i was dreading was finally there. we weren't going to join the other class on the shallow part of the pool. instead, we were asked to go to the other far end of it. yup! we went to the part where the water was 6 to 7 feet! i repeat(para mas may feeling) 6 to 7 feet! ! ! ! !

holy crap, "what is she thinking" i thought.
so were told to get in the water. and i went "HAH??? sure b kayo?? malalim n yan eh... huhu. scary."... but i had no choice. we can simply hold on to the side of the pool anyways. so we were then taught to to "treading" (tama ba?) or how to make yourself float by kicking forever or doing the bicycle thing.. (ah basta) and of course, as expected, i couldn't do it! damn. it's not as if i wasn't trying noh! and it was twice as hard, watching the others swim beautifully with their breast strokes and everything. good thing i had three other classmates who had the same fate as me.

so i was patiently practicing the treading thing.. letting go of the wall once in a while. one time clarence was beside me. and i was asking her to teach me again how to do it. (tagalog na) kaya ayun, sinubukan ko ulit. at bumitaw pa nga ako para mapraktis wid kamay effects tapos aun, WA EPEK pa rin! ! waaaah. i couldn't get back up. i tried to grab the wall again but i couldn't reach it. so i grabbed the sides of the people beside me... i needed air.. i wanted to reach the surface so badly... was i drowning?? the thoughts seemed funnier rather than scary. and then, at last, somebody pulled me up.. i grabbed the side of the pool for dear life, and after seeing everybody so worried and anxious, I BURST OUT LAUGHING! ! ! ! bwahahahaha.. damn it. nalunod ata ako. nyahahahahahaha.... taena, nalunod??.. hehehehehehe... duh!... bobo.. pero nakakatawa tlga. hihihihi... tawa lang ako ng tawa.

un lang. =)

Buti na lang you survived. Pero 6.5 feet? (wala naman kasing 7 feet na area sa pool)... Haaay, Ariane.

Kung consolation eh sa'yo ako bibili ng ticket. Pero siyempre kay Kizia din. Haha. Walang away ha! :p
