Startdust... Dust Subsides...

Right after the bombing, still decided to go to the Mall. Several stores are still closed. Fastfood like Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, Jollibee, are either closed or open but only sell cold food (sundae, salad, soda, etc.)


Already on its second week run, decided to watch Stardust, a fantasy, adventure, romance movie. A fallen star is the "target" by the witches, by a prince and even a young lover who promised the prettiest girl in the village to give her the fallen star, not knowing that the star is not a rock/meteorite but a beautiful woman. Both the star and the young lover set out in an adventure as they try to outwit the "seekers". The movie is fun, good special effects and bucket of humor (without even resorting to slapstick humor).


After the movie, strolled around the mall to observe. There are only a few people around, which is very unusual for a weekend. In fact, I think we were only twenty in the movie house! The area around Glorietta 2 has been boarded up, thus, no chance for me to see the destruction caused by yesterday's bombing.

Attended the anticipated Mass and decided to go home at once. (Fr. Jun who celebrated the anticipated Mass is the same one who celebrated the Mass that Friday, the day the bomb exploded, with the Zobel family.) Saw that in front of Glorietta 2, there are still lots of police cars and rescue. The street is almost empty. Very unlikely on a Saturday night.



Tonight, received an SMS stating, "Huwag kayo punta sa Global City, Market Market at Makro, Bicutan. All Ayala Corporations' subject for bombings. Ocean Liners hindi pumutok bomba kanina. Intel info yan, high alert kami. -- TXT from a police officer". (Translation: Don't go to Global City, Market Market and Makro, Bicutan. All Ayala Corporations' subject for bombings. Ocean Liners, the bomb did not explode earlier. It's intel info, we're on high alert.)

Not sure if this is true, but it is best to be safe.
