this evening was a so shocking for me...

i thought i was gonna die... this is what happened...

this evening (a few hours ago) me and my family and a friend went to the mall for dinner. after dinner, me, my two sisters, the friend and my mother went to the third floor of the mall because we were gonna buy a cellphone. my father went to the ground floor of the mall to buy some other stuff.

at first, we roam around looking for the cellphone... i even had an argument with my mother because i wanted the more expensive cellphone. i was mad so i went to a comic store to calm down and she went to the nearest cellphone store...

she was with my eight year old sister and with our friend (a girl).

i was with my fifteen year old sister in the comic store...

all of the sudden we saw people running towards the fire exit. the comic store was near the fire exit. i wondered what the commotion was... when i looked outside i saw smoke coming out of the ceilling!!! (it was a little smoke) and people were shouting sunog!(fire) my sister grabbed my hand and we ran towards the fire exit...

people were panicking! if you guys heard the news there were a big explosion in a mall here in the philippines a month ago. i think dazed and confused blog about it...

we were running but i wanted to go back because i was thinking of my mother and other sister! when i was about to run towards the cellphone store i saw my mother and sister they were already running before us. so we run towards outside the mall...

people were panicking and it was a raining a little...

after that we heard that it was only an electrical malfunction...

there was no bomb, no terrorist, no armed gunman, no harm...

but the fear was there.

yes i was so frickng afraid i would lost my family... and to think i had an argument with my mother because of my bratty attitude...

but dont worry guys were okay now... i'm a calm after a cigarrette and a shower...

there was no harm done...

but now i learned a very important lesson...

every moment counts. today i learned to appreciate my family...

and i'm gonna change my attitude from now on. i wont take them for granted...

funny my last post was about me asking advice to be patient... i guess i have to change my attitude first.

well thanks for reading my post. dont worry guys i'm okay now...

i feel safe a home... and knowing me and my family are together in here...

    queen- You know, an incident like that can bring you back down to earth, make you realize things we all take for granted. Thankfully no one was harmed.

    How scary! I'm glad nobody was hurt and that it wasn't any of the awful things it could've been.

    I'm glad it turned out okay and wasn't anything really serious! But I do think something like that can make you shift your attitude and your priorities. Everything happens for a reason, so I'm sure you'll take something good away from this. I'm glad you guys are all okay.

    It is times like these, that we have a chance to re-evaluate and find the important things in life.  Glad none of you were hurt.  ((hugs))

    I am glad that everyone is ok! That must have been so scary. I know from personal experience how someone can be snapped from you in an instant. Always let the ones you love know it.


    Stay safe.

    thank goodness you were safe queen!

    Ever since the thing in Glorietta, people were a bit weary about going to the mall!

    Take care dear!

    Cheers

    queen, that must have been really frightening. you didn't mention anything about your father though. where was he when it happened? Did you see him outside too? or did it happened without him knowing? times like this are like well timed whack in the head when we need some attitude adjustment, eh? I'm glad none of you got hurt. :)

    Queen: Am running behind the times as always, but glad you are ok!  With the way things are today, I would have been terrified, too.   Reminds me of the time in Germany when I and my ex walked up out of an underground parking lot onto the street only to find there there was a riot going on!   I had my baby with me in a stroller, and I wedged us up into a doorway with the stroller behind me.  My lovable "ex" went off and left us there to go talk to people and see what was going on.  I could have strangled him!   He finally came back and got us and hurried us back into the garage, and we got out of there.
     
    Sorry, for the mini-rant--but I know how you must have felt, not knowing what to do or where to turn at first until it was all right.  And there you were, worrying about others first......
