The uncertain life
When I arrived today at the office, everyone was wearing a sullen look. It was confirmed. The person my officemate was trying to call last Friday was one of the victims of the October 19 Glorietta 2 explosion. She works at the 22nd floor of the building where I work. We almost have the same job. And she just completed her Sun certification. I don’t know her but she’ll always be that someone who would remind me about the uncertainty of life.
Aw. That’s so sad.
And I heard they haven’t found the bodies of some of the victims. Kalungkot talaga.. Malapit lang din ako dun, Yoru. Haay. Ingat sa Makati ha!
@Joni: I hope they find the missing bodies soon. I was really scared when I heard about the possibilities that it was a terrorist attack… but then again, it could happen just anywhere to anyone… So, it pays to be “ready” anytime.
This is really sad. And yes, even the people you don’t personally know or know well make you reflect on life and its importance and uncertainty.
Tsk tsk.. It’s sad to think that lives can be taken away in just a snap of one’s fingers..
I hope something like that doesn’t happen again. I don’t understand why some people would want to hurt others on purpose?
I’d hate to think about me or someone I know “going” anytime. It’s heartbreaking.
it’s really scary, since glorietta is part of our daily route, especially my mom. they say it’s an accident. methane gas build-up or something. it’s really sad that negligence from the management (whether the explosion is a terrorist attack or an accident) caused the loss of lives.
