Unforgettable Sinulog Celebration

This story of mine happened when I was still a Gr. 5 student in my Alma Matter, Punta Princessa Elementary school. Many things really happened to me which were very dangerous for me.
I had two experiences, the first happened in the Abellana Sports Complex for our practice in the Sinulog. I really has no experiences in going back and forth so my mother told me to wait for her. We practiced there for 5 consecutive hours and after the practice, everybody was already starting to go home except me. I was very tensed at those times for it was already dawn, at those times, I already made three choices; look for help, stay there and wait for my mom or go home without any supervision.
I did not choose the first choice I had for if I did, they would think that my parents are irresponsible. My 2nd choice was the best one but I choose the 3rd one for I was not wise enough. Good thing for me, I managed to memorize some things that can tell if am I still on the right side of the road or not while riding in the jeep. At that time, I made 6 J-walkings for I did not know that this was a crime. As my distance from Abellana got longer, I got more tensed for I no longer see the signs I saw while I was on the jeep. After 30 minutes of walking, I decided to rest for a while. At those times, I already wanted to breakdown but suddenly, an old lady came near me beg for food. I was able to give a rice in a plastic, I had no other food to give to the poor lady. After I gave her the food, I made up a good idea, I went back to the places I have past and fortunately, I found Dr. Uy's clinic which made me very happy for I already knew where to go. I walked for 1 hour but I did not mind how long the time and the place is, all that matters for me at that time was to get home. On my way home, I met my fat classmate Ercel and gave me a treat. When I reached home, I immediately lay down our bed.
After the Sinulog Mardigra, our parish made a parade, the drummers of our Sinulog and of the parish were the same so I really followed them. I was with my friends at those time but I did not notice that after few minutes, they have already went back home leaving me behind. We passed by a dark river bank for there were no people living there, but I was not afraid for we were many at those times. When I noticed that I no longer see the faces of my friends, I started to be restless. I asked the drummers if they will still go back to the parish but they said no. This gave me no choice but to pass the dark river bank. I took off my slippers so my speed would be added and I brought a piece of wood in case if there are dogs, snakes and I also waited for a car to pass by to give me light. One car passed by and I automatically followed the car and the driver of that particular car was shocked when he saw me running so fast in a middle of a dark place. Luckily I was able to come back home for dinner.
I think that the patron, Sr. Santo Nino is really testing my braveness and fortunately, I was able to past the test.
