Where Was I When..

Inspired by Jessica Zafra's entry, Where Were you when these events took place..

Ninoy Aquino Burial
I remember my parents waiting for Ninoy's coffin to passed by Roxas Boulevard. We were in the 8th floor with our yellow confetti out of old directory pages. Everyone was crying and angry. I used to watch Ninoy's speeches and at an early age I got exposed to politics. That's why my second college course choice was Political Science.

EDSA People Power 1
Tora tora planes flying by US Embassy..I wanted to go with Mama and aTe Elma to Camp Crame but Dad didn't allow me so I just watched tv.

July 16 Earthquake
Mama and I were in a jeepney going home from school when the driver suddenly stopped and people were running. I thought a sniper was shooting at someone, everyone was looking up. Yun pala the ground was shaking already. Mama was in panic mode since G Anne and Dad were the only ones sa house in Belair, old building and all.

Mount Pinatubo Eruption
It was scary, daytime but the sky was super dark and ash fall in the whole Manila.

World Trade Center 9/11
I just got home from work when Yen called and said a plane crashed into WTC. When I checked CNN, the second plane was about to hit the other building. Super horrific, it's like world war. I had a feeling this will change America and it did. I didn't sleep that night and just tuned in watching New York cope with disaster.

EDSA 2
Winwin and I trooped to EDSA shrine and joined the rally. It was like a big party and I got a shirt which says "FED UP, Erap Resign".

What's happening in Mindanao right now makes me soo mad. I'm tired of politics. I'm just praying for help. More on justice than mercy for the politicians. They are all crap. And that's putting it mildly. I refused to give them space in my blog.
