Almost
Last Monday, our neighborhood was almost caught on fire. The fire started at a neighboring area which was way too far from where I live but the strong winds carried its flame to our direction. The people in my neighborhood were on panic mode and for the life of me I did not bother to pack as much. My neighbors all took their things out of their houses, appliances, bedsheets, clothes and just about anything you could think of.
The only things I secure for myself were my laptops, external hard drives, cameras, photo albums with photos of mom, my family’s closest friend helped me out in carrying all my boxes [containing my collection of books and manga] while I took my piggy bank. When the fire was too close say 4 houses away from my house I had no choice but to move out and stay on safer grounds. Panicking won’t do me any good, it’s not like if I panic the fire would stop right? So I took photos instead … someone actually mistook me as part of the media lol
And oh … the fire brigade managed to put out the fire and my house was saved. All Hail Buddha!

whoa! that was close!
There’s a saying na “mas maigi pang manakawan kesa masunugan” which is true. I feel for those who lost their houses and in worst case, those who lost their loved ones because of fire. Tragic!
Thank God you’re safe. Take care sis!

There are over 250 houses burned down sis and the entire are was placed on state of calamity. I feel sorry for those who lost their houses and at the same time I am sure glad mine was not burned down. Otherwise I would have lost close to 20 years of book collection amongst other things.
