Experience No. 4: “The Premonition”
(shared by rj bawisan <junebawisan@yahoo.com>)

According to Miriam-Webster dictionary, premonition is previous notice or warning that something will happen.
For some reasons I don’t believe on it back then, however when I experienced it personally, I said to my self that premonition is indeed real and you may experience it in some points of your life.
Let me tell you about my own experience. In October 2009, my nephew was rushed to the hospital due to high fever and extreme fatigue. By the way he is the second son of my older brother. He (my nephew) together with his older brother were sent to the province for school as their father, a single parent that time wasn’t able to attend to their daily needs while he is employed. 
My nephew was a grade 1 pupil when that incident happened. In the hospital he was diagnosed by the doctor with Hypokalemia, a disease caused or symptom of low Potassium. Once treated, according to the doctor the possibility of becoming like a withered vegetable-body is high.
Meanwhile here Manila, me, my brother (the father), and my sister have to meet to talk about the situation --- of course we need to send money for the treatment. As we conversed that very moment, my nephew was already in the ICU.  We concluded the talk by agreeing to meet again the following day (during this time we can already send the money to my mother who is attending my nephew in the hospital).
As we begin the talk the following day, my brother started it by telling us that he saw my nephew riding on a tricycle (back of the driver) waving towards him.  Accordingly, he almost believed that he is his son, but when he got his sane back, he whispered to himself “No, he wasn’t my son, he is in the ICU right now”.  While still skeptical with his story, my sister continue the conversation by telling us that he also saw my nephew in her dream saying to her that he would not run anymore as he is so damned tired.  My sister gave her hand to my nephew trying to help him from falling on to the ground but he eventually fell.
I have no story to share with them that time because I didn’t experience any of those.  The only thing that happened to me the night after we talked was that, I saw a headless cockroach but still moving and even flying around me.  I felt it strange, but nothing to think and worry about it. I took it for granted, after all, cockroaches are born to die! 
After the talk we separated, and me, being the youngest among the 3, was in-charge of sending the money to our mother. 
In that night, my sister called me, telling me that my nephew had already passed away.  It’s hard to believe, but mother confirmed it!  I couldn’t explain the feeling that time because that was the first that someone who is part of my immediate family departed.
After that moment, I figured out that all the experiences we had that night after we’ve talked were indeed premonitions that my nephew will be leaving this temporary life very soon. 
“It’s impossible but it happened to me” … premonitions are real!
