when i was a kid, about 1o years ago, i had my 1st vacation in iloilo city. my lolo, lola and me rented a small house by the sea shore. every morning i take a dip in the clear blue water. what a paradise place it was. sometimes i tag along with my fishermen cousins and i enjoyed boating since then.
one day i just fell on the water. its so deep that i sank all the way down but never felt the bottom sand.
just across my view, i saw something, woman-like figure dancing aluringly with the water...but iv never been sure what it was.
i cant forget how she stared at me. with its long brown hair that was gently caressed by the emerald water. i cant vividly describe how her face looked but, i know she's looking at me from that distant prettily.
and in a swift moment, a strong arm gripped me. i woke up like all was in a dream, but my uncle, who saved me, told me i jumped off the boat, and i almost drowned myself (thou i never jumped off, i fell!).
no matter how confusing it is, i can never forget her eyes.
