new item!

i've got several new items to add on my general wishlist:

- The Sally Lockhart Quartet by Philip Pullman
* Book 2 - The Shadow in the North
* Book 3 - The Tiger in the Well
* Book 4 - The Tin Princess

my sister gave me Book 1 The Ruby in the Smoke. ayan, gusto ko na tuloy kumpletuhin. hehehe! Ü

as i was writing this entry down, our house began to smell and fill with smoke. at first i thought it was my PC, overworked. hehehe! i looked at the window just in time to see a firetruck rushing our way. already in panic mode, we (as in residents of A,B,C,D) rushed out to see where it's coming from (before making sure that our own units were not in flames). the fire originates from a house right behind our compound. good thing it was raining and fire trucks responded almost immediately to put out the fire. my dad quickly made his way there to look and maybe forewarn us if we already need to pack our stuff. thank God it's over now! my dad got back after a few minutes to inform us that the fire is out. the fire started from cheap christmas lights that went kaput. boo to cheap xmas lights! mag xmas tree na lang kayo na walang xmas lights!

our house being consumed by flames is my worst fear, and no matter how minimal this situation seems to be, i got the scare of my life! i prayed and prayed that our compound will be spared, and no one will get hurt during the fire. thank God ligtas kaming lahat, at walang nasaktan kahit na sa nasunugan! at salamat din na hindi natumpok yung buong bahay nila. salamat...

at buti na lang ang tatay ko volunteer firefighter!! *beaming with pride*
