No Barriers

I seldom get the chance to talk to my friends and keep them up-to-date with what's going on with my life... well, this is it. My online journal. Yah, another personal blog,just exactly what the world needs now. Let's be realistic, it's cheaper than overseas calls. Less tiring than novel-like emails.

G2 Blast
While taking our Day2-PMP Quiz, my seatmate blurted out that there was an explosion at Glorietta. He said that an LPG tank exploded in the Luk Yuen Restaurant. A couple of minutes later, we all received a text advisory from the firm confirming that there is an explosion, and that all employees are advised not go near the area. The intensity of the explosion only sank in after I saw the pictures that circulated in emails and posted in the internet.

To date, the number of casualties is still increasing as they remove the debris from the blast. Seeing pictures of Glorietta 2 ripped through the roof and nearby shops severely damaged couldn't just be caused by an LPG explosion. :( I feel sad to hear about the 8 people who died, 113 injured, and to date there are still 5 missing. Our office (in my previous project) used to be in the 6750 building, and during lunch time Pat, Giff and I would often be in Glorietta. If our office was still Makati, I am pretty sure that I would have been there in Glorietta - esp. since it's a Friday (Friday Lunch Out!). :( Let's see how effective the police and the bureau of investigation will be in finding out the root cause and perpetrators for this.
