Despite of it… I’m still blessed and thankful

We normally watched people almost cried out when they loose everything they’ve built due to fire.  Now i know how it feels… Last Saturday, while attending my photography class, my neighbor’s helper called me up.  She told me that black smoke was coming out of our aircon.  I was surprised coz i never used the aircon for the past week since it was raining.  At first, i’m still calm but when she said that they will be going inside and already called the firemen, i could not think anymore.  I already informed my prof that there is an emergency that i have to leave early.  I called the Grace (my neighbor’s helper) for the status.  She told me that they could not enter our room due to the black smoke.  They were insisting that i left the aircon on but i kept on telling them that when i left the house, the aircon was not plugged.

The bad thing was that along Roxas Blvd, there’s traffic.  To cut the story short, when i arrived the house, I saw our room.  It’s so dark and the smell is not good. I saw our TV melted.  I could not imagines what had happened.  I was so shocked to see everything.  The first thing i picked was the laptop since it’s not mine. The room was wet and i really could not stand the smell.  I opened the cabinet and some of my things were black.  I took only things that i could bring home to Bulacan.  My kikay things (i.e. lotions, perfumes, etc) have been destroyed and melted.

We could not pin point what caused the TV to melt.  We sometimes leave the appliances on plug even if it is not turned on and nothing happens.  We don’t know if there was a short curcuit, faulty wiring.  There was droplets of water also coming from the ceiling which we are also considering.

While going home to Bulacan, i still could not think.  But one thing i’m still happy despite all these things I thank God that my family was safe and that it happened when we were not inside the house.  Apart from it, it’s good that no fire came out also.

It’s good that it is not raining so my clothes will dry easily.  i’m just worried when we can go back to Makati.  I’m happy that classes will resume next week so there is still time to clean the house.  Hayyyy, up to now, i’m still in shocked.
