A tragic bus accident happens again, this accident happens in Lucena City, Philippines. According to the source Lucena Bus Lines, the bus bound Manila-Lucena. While the Bragais Bus Lines bound Tabacco-Manila.

The incident happens by around midnight; police investigation revealed that the Lucena bus was overtaking a vehicle when it smashed head-on into the Manila-bound Bragais Lines bus on the opposite lane.

The force of impact tore off the left side of the Bragais bus, killing 7 passengers instantly. Most of the victims, meanwhile, were pinned inside both buses. The bodies were brought to Funeraria Pagbilao in Laguna for autopsy. The 41 people injured in the accident, meanwhile, were immediately rushed to the Quezon Medical Center.

Unfortunately, it is very upsetting, heartbreaking and tragic event for a family that has been killed in the incident; they headed to Manila for them to meet the head of their family that will arrive from the other country tomorrow, working as an Overseas Filipino Worker. All of the family members died, including the 3 year old daughter, her mother and her mother in law.

The owner of Bragais Bus Lines rushed to Lucena City to give assistance to the casualties, they are thankful for the help, but also they are very upset because that help cannot bring their family members death back to life again.

Let’s Laugh a Little

Driving my three-year-old daughter to day care before work, I noticed a family of dead raccoons on the road. I quickly sped past, hoping she wouldn’t spot them. No such luck.

“Mummy, what was that?”

“Some wood must have fallen from a truck,” I fibbed.

“Oh,” she said. “Is that what killed all those raccoons?”

We’d just moved to a new city, and I was working nights in a call center. Parent-teacher interviews were coming up and my daughter, Bethany, who was in primary 2, took it upon herself to explain to her teacher why I couldn’t be there.

“My mummy can’t come tonight,” Bethany said, “because she works nights. She’s a call girl.”

 

Marking the register of my year II from group, I asked if anyone knew what had happen to a boy who had been absent for some days.

“I think he’s got the flu, sir,” said his friend.

“What do you mean you ‘think’ he’s got the flu?”

“That’s what I thought he said when I saw him in the night club last night.”

 

A mathematician got an earful from his wife after wandering home at 3 am. “You’re late!” she yelled. “You said you’d be home by 11:45!”

“Actually,” the mathematician replied coolly, “I said I’d be home by a quarter of 12.”

 

The linguist’s husband caught his wife in the arms of another man. “Susan,” he said, “I’m surprised!”

“No, I’m surprised,” she corrected him. “You’re astonished.”

 

My sister-in-law, a professional storyteller, was in Europe speaking at various libraries. Later, she called her mother and told her that’s she’d just given a speech for 250 librarians.

“Great,” said her mother. “And how much is that in American money?”
