December 31, 1995..... noon
My sister and I ran an errand for my parents to buy ingredients for the New Year's dinner. As good kids, we obeyed. I remember my sister and bickering about having to walk or to ride going to the market. Since she was the older sister, she won the argument... so we walked. While walking, we saw this ugly dog, and I mean ugly {a bit of scaly} and without a collar. So we avoided the dog because we don't want to be bitten by it.
Ouch...hey... that's my butt you mutt!
To my surprise, I suddenly felt pain in the left cheek of my butt. And alas, as I turned around, I saw that dog walking away. So I felt the my blood drained because I realized I was bitten by that mangy mutt! My sister then looked at my butt and confirmed that it was bleeding! Oh no... the day before New Year and I'm in pain! So my sister and I decided to look for the owner of the dog. We followed the dog into a house.
That's not my dog...
So we knocked on the door. We were greeted by a middle aged woman and asked us what we need. We told her what happened and she immediately denied that it was her dog! Huh, but the dog went to her house! Grr.... She told us that the dog that bit me was a stray and sometimes trespasses her backyard. Hm... but she offered to clean my wound....
After cleaning my wound, we went to the market to buy the ingredients... and when we came home my dad was furious because we took so long. When we told him what happened, he got even mad. But not at me but at my sister because she was supposed to take care of me. But it was not her fault really. So okay, partly its hers because she insisted on walking. So my dad immediately took me to the hospital.
Its just a wound...
When we arrived at the hospital and the family physician got a look at it, he told us that the saliva was in my shorts and not in the wound. He told us that I was fortunate because I was wearing very thick shorts... and the rabies didn't enter my body. Thank goodness for that because I don't want to have 7 shots of anti rabies before New Year. So he told us to just clean the wound everyday for the next 10 days. Hmm....
Okay, so I was in pain, I can't sit down so I'm always either standing or faced down when sleeping. Ouch... Hmm... and to top it all of, my other sister, was singing this song "kagat ng aso" which means Bite of the Dog and laughing... heheheh :D Actually I found it funny!
What a way to celebrate my New Years!
Cheers!

Lucky you (again). Hehe, do you know how much an anti-rabies vaccine is now?? Hmm, quite a fortune I guess.. what more when those were the days when you had to endure several shots of it. Ouch. So thank God.. I am luckier though, I haven't been bitten (God forbid) by a dog, nor had been chased. I think dogs are scared of me, cause if they bite me, I'd surely bite them back. Hehe, just making you laugh.
dylm: LOL

doyoulikeme. LOL heheh :D well, I guess the dog liked my cute butt! hehehhe
Lioness. Its quite expensive really! Back then, it was 1500 pesos per shot
(30$) hmmm... and as I understand, It was 7 shots!. One per day! My goodness! I was lucky heheh :D
--- The following month after the incident, I saw the dog again, in the market, I don't know whether to be happy or scared. Happy because he didn't die {because if he did it means he has rabies} or scared because he didn't die and will bite me again!
--- Anyway, I thankfully, I don't have a phobia with dogs heheh :D

Quite costly! Haha, so you had a reunion at the market??? Hmmm... I bet he's 6 ft under the ground now. hehe.. from 1995...2000... 2006...

dazed_and_confused said on Nov 22, 2006....
Yup! Quite a reunion! {I hid behind my sister!} Yup, I bet that dog is gone! Thank goodness! hehehhehe

I think that she knew more about the dog than she let on -

Thank God ! it was a dog, what if a boy had bitten your butt, the anti rabies would not have worked HaHa Ha Ha >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -

Dazed: sorry about your plight then.
Got many of those scrapes in my past. Tell them sometime.
Strange dogs make me go for a fistful of raw sand, and I never turn my back to them.

silverwhisper. nope she denied it still. but if anything could have happened to me like being poisoned by the rabies, my dad told me that he would sue the woman. Thank goodness I was fine :D
doyoulikeme. yup. We suspected that she was the owner, but we were more focused on me getting better than press charges. She didn't who I was at that time, but if she knew, she would be scared. My dad was the deputy mayor at that time. But I'd rather not get our way with her because of our family's influence.
peedee. I know, if it was a boy, my dad would have hanged him! :D heheheh. And if it was a boy, i'll challenge him to a sparring session! {I was a bit boyish back then...}
Bronx. I'll be waiting for your stories heheheh :D And to top it all of, the dog really is mangy, with all those ticks attached to its body. eww... hehehe
Cheers!

peedee. yup! :D Almost every dad is like that when it comes to his daughter. I remember a time when my dad used his influence to reassign a police officer to another post because the said cop courted my sister {the one I was with when I got bitten}. However, my sister wasn't interested in the guy, but my dad wanted to be sure heheheh :D I guess the cop's married now heheheh
