CONCLUSION: ON FIRE

Feels like I'm traumatized by the situation I've been through last Sunday. Someone shouting on our neighborhood was normal but this one was really shocking "SUNOG!". Everyone inside our house ran outside to check it. And hell it was big, red, blazing hot fire is coming near our house. We get back to the house and pack our things as quickly as we can. Pack our clothes, appliances, and important documents. It took us 10 minutes before we're done. My dad was in a panic state he kept shouting at me and my mom to get out of the house now. He and my boyfriend will be taking out the stuffs. Filipinos are known for bayanihan and it happened that day, that time. Some of our friends, far away neighbors, and relatives came to help us out.

Everything was out, we are outside, our things was outside the street. I panic since there are still no fireman around us. The fire was getting worse. I for one prayed and prayed so hard that our house wouldn't be burned by the fire. That's the only thing I can do. After a few minutes fire fighters are rushing to the street we're at. I was thinking "our house will be saved". They are Chinese fireman, they are known to be fast, and can take out fires in a short amount of time. Well I guess I was never wrong with that. About 15-30 minutes the fire was out but not completely. Our house was saved. We still have a place to live in to. I prayed again and thank the Lord.

Here's another part you will not be happy about. Some people have the nerve to rob us a midst the fire. There are 5-7 kids around the age of 8-12 years old who are coming towards our stuff. Only few of us are there to check our things because all of the boys are checking what going on with the fire. I'm so pissed at these kids and I cussed them so that they'll go away. Well they went away, however, I'm still checking whether they'll come back again. People these days don't know how to sympathize with the situation. I hope this wouldn't happen to them, so that they wont know the feeling.

I am thankful to God that he was listening to our prayer. He still bless us despite the fact that we don't go to church every Sunday. I don't want to promise his though that i'll be there every Sunday, but at least 2-3 times a month would do.
