One Hectic Day

Monday, July 10, 2006
Jec and I went to a mall in downtown area last Saturday to buy some stuff for the new business we're starting soon. It was one hectic day. Woke up at 6:30 a.m. and left the house at 7:30 a.m. to have my blood test. Then we went to the clinic to get a number for my late afternoon check up. Then we met up with my bestfriend so we can go buy the stuff we need. It took us the whole afternoon to buy everything on our list.

Jec went to the restroom on the other building while Jen and I waited on the other wing. I got a call from Jec a few minutes later and he told us to get all our stuff and leave the building as fast as we could. I was just about to ask why when he told me "just leave and meet me at the entrance!". I knew there was something wrong. Jen and I scurried out the building with three huge plastic bags full of stuff we bought. There were policemen everywhere and people were running off in different directions. The news didn't reach the people inside the mall yet, I figured. Some dingbat purposedly left a bomb somewhere outside the mall that caused people to panic. What was he/she thinking? Why would he/she want people to die? We didn't wait around anymore, we just went straight home, freshened up and went back to the clinic for my check up. We were so pooped from going around the metro the whole day. Well, we finished our errands and we're glad we did. Thank God we got home safe and sound.

Hello,

It was probably a terrorist attack, that has been happening alot here in the United States. It is a scary world, bet you are glad you have Jesus...this is the last days, my friend. We are waiting for our Lord to return to get His Kids.

Love, Hugs, and Blessings,

Barbara

we had a bomb in my high school one year. it was an actual bomb inside the boys bathroom. the entire school was evacuated... we had to stand in the pouring rain though for over 2 hours *it was cold 2* ... to wait for buses to take all the kids home. Was really strange....

This happened shortly after the colmbine school stuff.

Glad you made it home safe!

What a scarey situation!! I am so glad you are alright!! Was there any news afterwards? The bomb didn't go off or anything I hope. Do they know who was responsible for it?

wyld: good thing jec didn't tell me what's going on over the phone or i might caused a riot inside the mall for blurting out the "BOMB" word. hehe... you're so sweet. thank you, J.

maggie ann: yeah, i just remembered that i wasn't able to buy a big plastic container with wheels that i have been wanting to buy for so long because i need to put some of my stuff in it. =(

curm: you can say that... hehe... :)

drea: we had that too when i was still in school. the bomb blew off. good thing no students were around near that area, but it was so loud we heard it from the other side of our school campus.

cheryl: my check ups are doing good. my health is improving. thank God! :)

dawn: i can't believe there are people who would want to kill hundreds, for what? i can't figure them out. don't know what they're trying to prove.

shelley: they didn't find out who was responsible for it but as usual they're blaming it to this group of people branded as terrorists. it didn't go off. i'm not sure if they were able to stop it just in time or it was just one wild crack.

Were they able to defuse the bomb? I hope so! How scary/sad. I'm glad you are alright!

Anonymous said...

that's the thing. we don't know if they were able to defuse it or it was just one sick joke these people are playing. but if it was, somebody should tell it to their face that it's NOT funny!

Anonymous said...

Very true. Man, not at all funny!

Thank you for the sweet card! You made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

So your new business has something to do with a spa...hmmmmmm...interesting...

Could not stay away from your site too long, I needed to hear some more Pink Life---so I am back and feeling great, I think this sickness is leaving me for good. A friend sent me a link that you might be interested in listening to and the link is http://www.intouch.org/ by Dr. Charles Stanley.
