The day after I woke up from the accident, Kieth cancelled all my appointments and cleared out my work schedule.



All except the drama.



And although I am completely cut off from the online world and the use of television, I was given word that news about my accident spread like wildfire.



Sabi nila it was a 'crazed fan' incident. The fan stalked me and ended up crashing into my van. That he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol.



That was allegedly the reason the public was given. Pero hanggang ngayon, patuloy pa rin ang imbestigasyon.



It turned out that wound on my forehead was not that deep but the impact of the crash gave me a concussion which explained my headache.



Clair and the driver sustained minor injuries and were discharged only a couple of days later. They weren't allowed to come near me though.



As for me, today marks my fifth day in the hospital and I'm expected to be here until shooting starts.



By my assessment, kaya ko nang magtrabaho. Naiinip na rin ako sa kakahiga dito.



I mean hello? I have fans waiting for me and I'm holed up in a hospital bed kahit hindi naman serious ang kondisyon ko!



Gustong-gusto ko na sanang bumalik sa trabaho pero kahit anong pilit ko, hindi nila ako pinayagan.



What am I? 5?



Do I need permission to poo too?



Nonetheless, I'm stuck here for the next week and a half and I have now say in this whatsoever.



"Oi! Bodyguards! May deck of cards ba kayo jan? Tong-its tayo oh!" I shout out at the newly stationed men outside my room door.



I look more like a convicted criminal than a patient.



Ano ba talaga tingin nila sa akin?!



"Hoy! Naririnig niyo ba a-.. oh" I was about shout again when I noticed na nagtatagalog na pala ako.



Damn...anong english ng tong-its?



Meron bang english sa tong-its?



Thong...eights?



What?



Ha?



Annoyed at myself, I give myself a slap on the face.



"Ugh...nevermind." I give up and lay down on my bed.



If this is my state after five days, I wonder what I'll be like for another week.



They didn't even bother giving me a novel or something.



Hinatid lang nila ang script ko dito and left me to rot.



The only thing I look forward to is the food.



Their surprisingly delicious hospital food.



I sigh and stare at the ceiling. "I'm hungry."



My mom and brother only visited me twice more after their first visit. Nang nalaman ng mama ko na okay na ako, she was immediately sent back by my brother since her health was very sensitive. Hindi siya pwede sa big cities.
