It was then December 7, 2009, Monday, a breaking dawn at around 1 AM, my mom woke up and get in to the rooms of my brothers, and in a bit, have whispered my name. Without any adieus, we were all awakened and sought a smirk in our eyes. Yea, it was actually a FIRE.
at first, I don't think it was really a fire, but oh my gosh, can no longer resist the pressure that for a fact, the smoke is slowly choking us. I don't know for a reason, on how the fire had started. Nobody may even think for a single glance that it would happen to our home. haay. (but it actually happened) before, I can only see it from televisions and hear it over the radio. -but wait, this is something TRAGIC, yea, something that may have changed our lives, I really don't know how to spare a simple story that can capture and be appealing to all. Somewhat, it may again never be understandable for all. Now, let me describe to you the set-up of our house, hmm. Well, in common, it is a two-storey house, with a balcony on the 2nd floor, but something may be cautious and spink your eyes, downstairs, we have a tinted 3 glass windows (really big) just like what you guys can actually see in tall buildings in Metro, or even in Makati. Where, for a fact, from outside, you can use it as a mirror, and unconveniently, people would keep on looking at themselves there, but, I can see it really GROSS. Oyea, something really gross, that form inside, I can always see what they wanna do to their faces while facing that mirror window. tsk.
That night, isn't actually an ordinary one for all, especially for me, I used to sleep at around 12 in the midnight, or even later, but for once, it made me anxiously wonder, why I had a nap for actually 2 hours, and so, when it's the time for me to enter the bedroom, I can hardly resist, and can't find this Mr. Sleepy in me. whoa! It was really damn strange, another incident made me a little bit harsh that night as well, that I really don't know why, my stomach keeps on bugging me, and it fades to seek for some food. My gosh, I never felt this hunger ever again, but why for an instant it bugged me? I have this plan of going down the kitchen and prepare for a skimmed milk for me, but, for a reason, I didn't get up anymore. (Oh, it was for a reason that, it is passed 11:20 pm and I have to sleep for tomorrow's classes) hmm..
But again, hour has passed, I am still having a hard time sleeping, I was in closed eyes but still cannot find Mr. Sleepy. hmm. Few minutes more, I heard Mom's voice seeking for attention, at first, I don't intend to get up on my bed, but the moment, she's sneering and begging for something that I think was kinda unusual, I get up the bed. and. BOOM! ooh, that was a terrific sound, fo me it may sound to unconsciously weird, (something rare that was very invalid) there, I smelled the smoke flapping little by little to our bedrooms. Mom called us all together to be with her, but before going anywhere else, I've thought of something that might actually help us.. I entered the comfort room and open the faucet, I actuallyl wanna bring down one pail of water. So there. We all cautiously went to the balcony and begun seeking for help and attention of the entire neighborhood. But, unluckily, nobody was there. Nobody went out to help. As if we we're all trapped and soon be flapped to death. I was actually started to cry, that for an estimation of almost 20 minutes, I was screaming and begging for help, I was actually feeling hopeless then, that it might be our last night on earth. My GOD! I thought it was the end of all these things and all our lives.
It was for a blast, and for being really FORTUNATE that for screaming all over those times, my aunt and uncle actually heard my voice, uncle bring with him his gun, for having a thought that it was only a fight from a nearby house. He said: It was a fire, all burnt and all, without any hesitation, he get up the ladder (very fortunate, it was outside the house, because they have just finished decorating their house of Christmas decors) with the used of that wooden ladder, we we're able to go down, and once we've reached the ground, we all started crying and trembling. My God, we we're all safe and sound, we we're all still alive.
entire first floor was gone. but, not all furniture were get up. It was actually a miracle of the fire, seeing that all the Saints and Cross, Holy Family, Divine Trinity, Sto. Nino, Sto. Cristo De Burgos were all facing the stairs. Mom's belief is that, she was awakened by them. Oh my! It was actually a MIRACLE.That was really morbid, I thought I can no longer see the beauty of the coming Christmas and New Year, a big big thanks to my Uncle and Auntie who have helped us from that fire tragedy, now, I can see something new in me, in my lifestyle and of course a PROGRESS in me.
