got home at around 8am and noli de castro's voice was airing over the radio... reporting that something has gone really wrong over at ULTRA. and i was really dazed and had to go to sleep.
when i woke up, the same bad news was aired over at tv patrol. apparently, the ULTRA has a 10k capacity but around 20k people rushed to watch the 1st year anniversary of wowowie and somehow hope that they could bag some of the prizes the show was supposed to give away today. stampede = major uh oh...
and so the hope twisted to a nightmare for the almost 70 dead people, hundreds injured, missing, and thousands who don't even know how they could go back to their respective provinces and homes. one couple only had the bunny bag of their daughter left as a memory... others were trembling with trauma and disbelief... others were wailing and mourning... everything was just so sad.
it was terrifying just seeing their faces and hearing their cries over the tv... what more if you were there. with every scene, my mom and i just dabbed our eyes... tears of sympathy and sorrow. i don't even want to imagine how it would feel like to search for your loved one among the lifeless bodies, wrapped in white linens, lined on the hospital floor. and how would it feel like to search for your loved one's face... among those sorrowed and pained faces that they flashed on a monitor in a funeral parlor. this was where they brought the unidentified bodies...
and after the news, magnifico was up on abscbn and i got curious of the plot. nothing fancy, nothing new. the same filipino film - drama and culture all. except it effectively portrayed a heart so pure and clean and generous... and i wouldn't mind recommending this film to everyone in my network. it's not only a tear jerker but i guess (and hope) it will move us away from selfishness, instead drive us towards love and compassion and caring.
my eyes are swollen now... i swear... it was a good cry... and i'm having mixed emotions today... i'm hungry... it's a very windy day...
tomorrow's the fifth of feb... and will mark our 9th month together. heck. am i supposed to say i'm looking forward for a bright day? how could i hope for a bright day after the horrible accident. this is rather inappropriate... out of place... mixed emotions, right?...

hay i was shocked to hear the news too..i was driving home the other day wen the radio on world news announced it, grabe kakalunkot talga! mostly matanda nga daw and kids, =( ..wish ko lang tlga sagutin ng abs lahat ng expenses..
i heard the news from my cousin Lei who called me up saturday morning. it was on news din dito, pero wala masyadong info. papa updated me that night, and i looked over the web din. sad. =(
i'm not surprised na may aksidenteng nangyari. i experienced the same traumatic experience when we watched the F4 concert. The gate was so narrow, tapos may slope pababa before another narrower makeshift gate. my cousin Dorein was crying, gusto na umuwi, but we can't back out kasi the crowd is pushing us forward. di nakalapat paa namin sa lupa pero umaandar pa rin kami. =P they should've learned from that one na nga eh. if they only booked a bigger venue, or an open space, that might have been prevented. kalungkot lang.
ay, parang blog ko to ah! =P
pobs, yeah... i heard abs will shoulder all expenses... as in all. complete with artistas visiting the lamays. o diba. hihi
harbs, i remember that one. nakwento mo nga noon. i can't remember nga lang if somebody died dun. =(
