i was suppose to have late lunch at glorietta today.
but updating my blog took time this morning. by the time i was done with my jake gyllenhaal and jennifer aniston entries, i was having second thoughts on whether i should still go to my all-time favorite sandbox, or just go to megamall and check out the sale.
while i was in the shower though, i remembered the flats at sapato manila and decided to just go to powerplant. by the time i got out of the shower, my phone had four messages telling me that there was an explosion at glorietta.
i hurriedly went online to check the news. first theory was that, an LPG tank exploded at the kitchen of luk yuen. two people died. i thought-- it was just an accident and i had nothing to worry about.
so off to powerplant i went.
my phone was beeping and ringing non-stop. family and friends were asking where i was and if i was okay.
haha. my reputation as someone who has sold her soul to the mall tycoons has indeed been etched on many people's psyche.
i told them "i'm good. i'm not in glorietta. umm... i'm not home either. hehe. i'm buying shoes at power plant."
when i got home, new shoes, new book, and some pastries in tow, eight people had died, 80 were injured and my glorietta was a wreck.
it was no LPG tank. two kilos of C4 were found on the site.
theories are flying left and right. some say it could be a destabilization plot--i mean you know--with the current bruhaha that the GMA administration is facing.
or, terrorists.
i don't like it when people do these things. if they hate GMA, why not bomb malacanang? or the COMELEC?
****
the brownies that i got from mary grace are superb. i'm eating them now because i feel bad and i'm worried that something like this will happen again in the next days.
but i am also thankful that i am alive. this is about the third time that i was blessed enough to have dodged a mall explosion. first was at megamall in 2000, then at central plaza in siam square last new year's eve, and now this one.
****
a few moments of silence for those who died....

UPDATE: 10/20/07
PNP's big daddy Sonny Razon (i dunno what to call him. director general? chief? head?) denied the blast was caused by c4 explosives.
whatevs.
as of last count, nine people have died, a hundred were injured, and of that hundred, around 15 are still in critical condition.
it's 67 days to go before christmas.
glorietta 1, 3 and 4 are open for business. i wonder how many people will flock there today.
anyway, lightning does not strike an object twice.
