Shattering Shopping!!!

MAKATI CITY--Earlier this day, Glorietta 2 in Makati was shattered with an explosion leaving more than a hundred killed and injured.

I have just finished washing dishes, and sat down to watch an noontime show when a flash report break in. It was about the explosion in Glorietta. At that time, as a phone patched reporter told what had just happened in Glorietta, it was undeniable that the background of the phone patched was filled with cries of panic and pain.

Is it a terrorist attack?

A diversion tactic?

This evening, PGMA's statement asking for the people to unite, especially those who are against her, was aired. It was also added that an investigation is on it's way as to what caused the explosion. There were two things that has said to caused the explosion--LPG from one of the restaurants and a bomb, that's why bomb squads were there to survey the breakage of the mall.

There was one thing that pondered on our minds as news that evening came--THANK GOD IT'S NOT A WEEKEND!!! Definitely if it were, then more people could have been injured--or died. As of this evening the reports of injured people grew higher, while eight are reported dead. A call from the media asked for viewers who think that relatives might have gone to Glorietta that day to come immediately to the Makati Hospital where the victims were brought.

This is but a tragic day for all... But as a call out from the news this evening was said about going back to our usual living, (I hope I got the idea right), not just for here in NCR but also all over the Philippines, was something to remember for that at least will help in keeping the whole nation strong during times when we are shattered.....

I hope and pray that GOD will provide us with more strength than ever....

For the victims...and for the whole nation.....
