Fire!!!
I've got one of my unforgettable moment of my life last night!!!
Unforgettable indeed, because our house was about to be on fire due to the burning tie wire attach to the electrical cable wire near our house. At first, I panicked, to the point that I am about to get all the important documents and appliances out of our house but thanks to the training I've learned in girl scout that panicking will cause a lot more trouble and so I tried to relax and calm down. Luckily the fire went off and we are safe!!!
I would like to thank all the concerned citizen who helped me yesterday! I would also like to commend the Fire Brigade of Gen. Trias for there immediate response to the call of my neighbors!
May the Almighty God continuously bless Us All!!!
