Bloody Valentines Day

Well, like most single person would probably think that valentines day just sucks, it just got worst yesterday... and some couples alike share the same sentiments. As Valentines Day was being celebrated, terrorism struck down right here in Makati City around 7:30 in the evening as one bus got blown away by a modified bomb, killing around 6 people and injuring almost a hundred innocent bystanders. Two other cities (Davao and General Santos City) had some bomb blasting as well and at almost the same time it happened in Makati. I was lucky enough not to be in that place at that moment because i usually go there to take a bus ride (guess i have to thank for something about staying late at the office). Unfortunately for an officemate, whom i am handling in the project team, was a few meters away from the site. He's safe, no physical injuries whatsoever, but the trauma is there of course. He rested at home for today so he can emotionally recover from the stress.

Guess when you ask, "how's your valentines day?"... the probable answer would be: "it was a blast :)".

Happy Valentines/Single Awareness Day to everyone!
