I woke up at my usual 4:00am and played Pokemon Fire Red on the VBA. Two hours later, my mom woke up with my little brother teasing him with 'Nagmamadali ka pa ha'.
6:00am: I went on with my usual routine of buying pandesal but this time I was told to buy eggs as well, for a corned beef omelette. Righ ater I came home, I cooked and ate.
7:00am: My grandmother went to take a bath to prepare for work. She works nearby so there's really no rushing for her. My mom and I was having a nice chat when we saw people running in front of our house. Seeing panic in their faces, My mom and I checked the reason why.
Shit. There's a fire just 4 houses a way.
We then hurried to pack, important documents, clothes our house is full of antiques so we had some men help us out with the move out. And my mom just finished making a living room out of our 'living room' just this saturday. Darned. We finished moving our 'valuables' after 2 hours exactly when the fire was declared Controlled and just it was just a firewall away.
'Tang ina... Hakot na naman. We finished at 10am, There's no electricity, no tv, no ref, no cold water. Damn. But these are nothing compared to what my neighbors experienced, especially those very close to the origin, they only managed to save only themselves with their families.
The Origin:
A KTV Bar. A gas leak with the stove for an igniter.
The Battle:
Everything went smooth for the fire fighters. The streets were enough for their trucks to fit to reach the fire with their hoses. Fire was declared under control after 2 hours and had recieved finishing splashes for a few more hours to make sure.
The Effects:
Neighbors living with their relatives. The only injury we've seen and heard of is a man having a 2 inch cut on his foot and was given 4 stitches for it (Just 4?) and some people with black eyes (Saan galing yun). No casualties for something than happened so early in the morning.
My lola and bro staying with my aunt because the heat, a large area has no electricity due to some lines being destroyed during the fire.
When I get home from this type-in session, I'll be cleaning our house. Sabi nga sa akin eh, Mas Ok na yung magligpit kesa nasunugan.
Just when you think everythings going well and simple, something like this comes in and bothers everyone, making you look at things you're used to in a different light.
