Blogging Miles Around the Metro

Sighs!.. 2 days after the Glorietta 2 bombing.. a fire hit Seafood Seafood resto at Glorietta 4 around 12NN Oct 21,2007.

So what am i doing at Glorietta 2 days after the bombing last friday?

1. big possibility that there will be few shoppers around. (very true, very few people around)
2. i need to look for a new TV stand for a newly acquired TV..
3. low probability of having 2 accidents in the same week at the same mall .. (well i’m wrong..)

at around 12NN after visiting Automatic Centre and the furniture store beside it @G4.. a good number of people inside the mall just started running and shouting.. (what the f@#k! dont tell me there’s another bomb?).. I didn’t hear anything, so there’s no reason to panic- and just thought that maybe someone is just joking. haha.. Then all of a sudden most of the sales peep started packing their things and closing their shops. Don’t tell me there’s raid in this mall? there’s no pirated stuff in here right?..
Even heard someone shouted ‘ hay! wala na-naman benta’ ( no sales again.!)..ugh..

But i immediately changed my mind, when i saw the security guards of the mall started running and scrambling with their hand held radios. (oh no, its not a joke!).. after that, i turned the video cam of my Nokia N70 and walked to the nearest exit..

Outside G4, you can feel a state of panic.. police, firemen, paramedics, K9 units and your usual pinoy crowd started to work and of course speculate. I was impressed with the response time of the policemen, firemen and others on duty. They were there in a few mins (maybe because some of there were stationed at G2).

Anyway, just keep it cool.. no need to panic!
