gah.

canlubang just got more exciting.

the pioneers came to out house today. we had, like, a get-together party/despedida party for jam, kasi she's going to the US for a few months. yeah, kinda weird. get-together tapos going away party. hehe.

anyway, loads of people came. jam, erika, paola, gracie, zy, kay, aileen, celine, nike, and chem. si meg nagpunta nung afternoon. mga cousins ko nagpunta rin--kuya joe, ate rovi (with iya), tammy, john, nj, paolo, kuya mitch. si jp pumunta rin. so, yeah, astig. nagkasya kami lahat sa house, heehee.

the party was like, usual. just like any other get-together. pero there was one scary, freaky thing that happened.

we had just had lunch. things were getting pretty boring, so people suggested maglakad-lakad sa CERIS. i didn't want to go, so nag-stay ako sa house. then, just when they were about to go off somewhere, something nearby exploded. as in LOUD explosion. kuya joe said baka transformer daw. anyhow, everyone started to panic and people ran off to the direction of the explosion. paolo, who was sitting near me, said, "nakita mo ba? may tao yata eh." malapit lang sa 'min yung place, just a short walk away. i went there, tapos ang dami nang tao. it happened pala dun sa lot na may on-going construction. and the story just freaked me out.

apparently, one of the construction workers was near i dunno what (a transformer?) when it exploded. he fell from the top of the building, then nasabit yung foot nya sa wire, so he was hanging there--with most likely (sabi ni kuya joe) third-degree burns. erika and some other pioneers were at the store katabi nung building. sabi niya nakita niya yung guy, hanging, tapos blood was dripping from his mouth. aacck.

anyway, i'm not gonna be too graphic. it might be traumatizing.

but here's the ending: nawalan ng kuryente.






yun lang.







hehe. just kidding. actually, the whole incident actually became the center of conversations when we got back to the house. so at least there's something they could talk about. and they witnessed something they probably won't ever experience anywhere else.

bleh. i don't want to think about it anymore. but for the record, i don't think that worker didn't survive. may he rest in peace.
