i'm glad i wasn't there

I'm beginning to feel scared again about what's happening in our country...

Just yesterday, people witnessed another mall explosion in the country. Glorietta 2 suffered severe building damages and not to mention the people who were in it too. The reports said that 9 were DEAD. Either 8 or 9 if im not mistaken. And close to a hundred injured victims. It was tragic. As Arence and I watched the live broadcast late last night, I couldn't help but feel so sad and at the same time so frightened at the situation.

Earlier reports said that the explosion was cause by LPG tanks, but later on, they found pieces of C4 bombing devices. It made sense. If it it were LPG tanks, there should've been fire. But there wasn't any.

I had a very bad dream last night. I dreamt that me and my family were responsible for blowing up an SM mall somwhere. It was like I was in a scene in Next wherein I had this premonition about the bombing and I saw how it happened. In my dream, my parents were the ones who placed the bomb inside the mall. Then right after what seemed like a minute after the placement, the mall exploded. When I dream, I often only remember some parts of it when I wake up. But this one, I remebered everything . I could still remember how the SM sign blew up and went flying across the sky hitting a pick-up truck near a gasoline station. I can still remember the people panicking and trying to get out of the mall and how the others who were trying to get in their vehicles with great speed just to get away from the area. It was so chaotic and frightful. I was so relieved when I finally woke up, knowing that I was back in reality.

As I was watching the news, I couldn't help but feel so grateful; grateful that I wasn't in that mall at that time; grateful that I am still alive. I feel sorry for those families who've lost someone during the incident. I wouldn't know what they must be going through right now, but I know what it's like to lose someone dear to you. I'm lucky I didn't lose anyone in that incident.

I really hope that the national police and government find out who's behind this bomb attack fast.

i happen to have heard of someone i know who was there on the same floor when it happened. they came out uninjured but traumatized. iyak daw sila ng iyak. i would probably do the same thing if i were there. :(
