MY STRONG GUT FEEL.
DECEMBER 2004, THE END OF TRAINING AT CATC PARANAQUE ON A SUNDAY MORNING, WE WE'RE GOING OUT TO BUY SOME THINGS BEFORE FINALLY LEAVING IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
ON THAT DAY, I FELT A DIFFERENT FEELING A STRONG FEELING, UTTERING THE WORDS TO MY COMPANIONS 'PARANG IBA NGAYON AH' I UTTERED EXACTLY WHAT I FELT AT THAT MOMENT. EVENTHOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE IN THAT AREA WAS RELAXED BUT STILL I FELT AN UNEASINESS.
THEY REPLIED 'ITO TALAGA SI JO KUNG ANU-ANO SINASABI, BAKA PUYAT KA LANG JO' JO AS IN JONATHAN, THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL ME. I SAID AGAIN 'HINDE IBA TALAGA, PARANG CALM BEFORE THE STORM'
THEY DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND SMILED, EVEN ME I JUST SMILED. BUT AT LEAST I'VE LET IT OUT. A WEEK OR LESS LATER 'THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM' WAS NOT REALLY A STORM BUT THE CATASTROPHIC EVENT OF 26 DECEMBER 2004.

NARRATED STORY.
IT WAS IN MY TEENAGE YEARS, WHERE WE SPEND SUMMER IN THE PLACE OF ONE OF OUR GRANDAUNT. QUIET, CALMING PLACE. ONE NIGHT SHE NARRATED A STORY.
COMING HOME FROM ONE BARANGAY OF ABOUT 30 MINUTE WALK, SHE HAD TO WALK SINCE NO VEHICLE WAS PASSING ON THAT ROAD BY THAT TIME. ON A MOONLESS NIGHT, ALONG THE WAY SHE MET A BEARDED MEN DRESSED IN GLOWING WHITE ROBE, SPOKE TO HER IN LOCAL DIALECT "KAMUSTA KA AUNTIE", SHE THOUGHT THE PERSON WAS JUST SOMEONE WHO KNEW HER SINCE SHE WAS A BIT WELL-KNOWN IN THEIR PLACE. THEN THEY PASSED EACH OTHER AND SHE WONDERED WHO THAT PERSON WAS, SHE LOOKED BACK AND HE WAS GONE, DISAPPEARED. THEN CONTINUING HER WALK BACK HOME THERE WAS A LIGHT THAT SHONE HER PATH WHICH WAS NOT PRESENT BEFORE SHE MET THE PERSON, AND GUIDING HER EVERY STEP ALL THE WAY HOME.
ONLY WHEN HER TIREDNESS HAS SUBSIDED THAT SHE NARRATED IT TO US REALIZING IT WAS JESUS CHRIST WHOM SHE MET.
IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING STORY EVER TOLD TO ME. CAN NEVER FORGET IT FOREVER. IT WAS LIKE JESUS CHRIST WAS SO CLOSE TO US.
