Bomb! The Dark is Rising
A meeting in the morning and a 4PM meeting at Ortigas means several hours idle time for me. Thus, decided to watch The Seeker: The Dark is Rising to while the time.
An adventure, action, sci-fi movie, The Seeker: The Dark is Rising is about Will Stanton, the seventh son of the seventh son, who is destined to protect the world from the Dark. He travels through time, learning to use his powers to fight against the Dark. The movie is fast-paced and keep one in one's toes whether Will would be able to find all the six signs he would need to defeat the Dark.
While watching the movie, noticed that the movie house's security guard keeps walking back and forth as if looking for something. Also received my niece is calling my mobile phone; thus, turned it off.
As soon as I stepped out of the theater, called my niece. Unable to contact her. But after a few minutes, she called back and learned that a bomb exploded at Glorietta 2. It seems that one of her classmates' dad is at Glorietta and witnessed the explosion.
Back to where we would have a meeting, everyone is already aware of the news. Each is surfing the internet for any updates of what occurred. When it's almost 5:30PM, that's when I learned that the meeting was cancelled!
Thus, decided to go home (instead of returning to the Makati office). Took the MRT (Metro Rail Transit), bought an SVT (stored value ticket) since my transfer to Ortigas is nearing, stepped off the Ayala Station. I hoped to see a glimpse of what happened at Glorietta 2.

That's when I learned that the Glorietta Mall has been closed. It was dark, quiet and gloomy--unusual for a place that is always vibrant and alive, specially on Fridays. It seems the place is mourning the death of 8 people and hurting 100+ people due to the explosion.
