Fire Happened

POST TAKEN FROM: private multiply account 

So the usual Sunday happened.

       I lazily got up around 10am after getting more or less 7 hours of sleep.  I stayed up late on the phone with Elwin.  I played with Miggy a bit, the birthday dog.  I took a shower and got some pretzels to go and hold off the hunger I felt.  Sacred Heart Church was packed as usual, especially since we were a few minutes late.  Right after we finished the mass we were off to Ayala, the mall place for our family.  Dad drops us off the entrance as he goes and park the car.  My sister, mother, and I- I'd like to say we're a team in this kind of thing, heads to foodchoices.  Holly goes off and looks for a table with my mom and I go line up for the ever-so-wanted lechon [CNT].  The line is usually long but not today since we arrived later than usual that others already had their orders taken and by now they were all busy eating.  Mom goes to me after they get a table.  After we order, by this time Dad's already with us.  Holly and Mom then finishes with all the other orders from other stores.  After eating mom and I went to Maze, had a phone fixed cause she'll be sending it to her brother, it took a while. 

       We headed to the Salon right after, Holly went strolling around and my Dad was off to do the groceries.  So I was sitting down, feet soaked.  Then the pedicure began.  I noticed some people were looking curiously across the glass window of the Salon, I thought at first someone fainted or something but I didn't pay too much attention to it.  I am not fond of getting into other people's business.  So after one of my foot got painted, I saw Holly starting towards me with a facial expression that seemed like she was worried or panicking.  She said that there's fire within the mall.  I saw the lady across me rushing up the manicurist to finish up while she was on the phone with whom I assume was her son/daughter.  She was asking where their child was and was saying that his/her dad was on the way with panic in her voice.  I remained calm, I thought the fire could be contained, nothing big.  Suddenly my manicurist got up, people started out the door,  I saw my mom and Holly and they gestured that we go out the door.  Outside I saw some people panic in ways I have only seen in TV.  One woman looking back and forth not knowing where to head off to.  My sister was way ahead of us, me and my mom followed behind her.  We got out at the entertainment center.  On our way out I was shaking a bit, trying so hard to contact my dad.  I finally got to reach him, he said he's in the car and trying to get out and it wasn't easy because of the traffic jam in the underground parking lot.  The first thing I did when we got out was call my boyfriend, but he didn't pick up. 

       I saw a familiar Chinese guy go out of a rad black big pick-up car.  He's last name is Tan I'm sure, he's Ahia Mark, Achie Lenlen, and Achie Dada's brother.  He hurriedly got off his ride with the fireman suite in his hand, running off inside the mall as people were hurriedly running out.  It was inspiring to see that guy, kind of made me want to be a volunteer fire woman someday, made me proud of the Filipino-Chinese people too.  My dad and I were quite sure he was a Filipino-Chinese volunteer fireman, their station located beside Cebu Cherish School near Chong Hua Hospital.  Brave people those guys.  We rode off home, me with one painted foot. 

       I guess that was not a near death experience or anything, but it sure made me feel the kind of panic you'd only see in movies.  I hope no one got hurt. 

It was not like the usual Sunday after all.

Best Friend

To the one I knew so well
Hello there! How are you? 
Has life been treating you well? 
I’m glad we met again

To the one I knew so well
It was years of friendship we had made
Then the time came, both of us parted
It was a bitter goodbye

To the one I knew so well
We both shared everything before
But after those goodbyes we left
Then we never heard of each other

To the one I knew so well
You thought you knew me well too, didn’t you? 
But how come you never felt
I loved you more than just a friend

To the one I knew so well
Years apart really do a lot
Now you’re married
I find myself in an awkward spot

To the one I knew so well
It was nice seeing you again
The pain I felt over the years never felt more real
Now I bid you once again, farewell

Faded Pictures, Enjoy It

07.13.08

One day as I cleaned out my table
Pictures of old days revealed themselves
I got carried to the past, feeling unstable
Feeling numb, sitting across the shelves

The past had bigger and brighter smiles
As painted on the pictures as evidence
But now my mind wonders off for miles
Thinking in the deep solitude and silence

What was in the past?
Why were we all happier then?
What was that reason I just can't grasp?
Why this sadness all of the sudden?

I thought, and re-thought things in my head
Suddenly words scribbled in, something that read:
Before we had less, each ones company was a lot of worth
But now we're just preoccupied with all the unnecessary work.

All too busy to have fun, be cheerful, and be happy
I now get that we've all been too exhausted by the world
We've all been in such a big rush
We fail to see and enjoy the beauty that surround us

Enjoy it every chance you get
Enjoy it before you all regret
Enjoy it before the world gives you your death
Enjoy it while you still have your breath
