Pause . . . and Say a Prayer

I was planning to blog about something else when I logged on to Multiply tonight. But the recent news in Iligan has prompted me to write about something else, write about my dear Iligan - my most recent home.

2 bombs exploded today, midday in 2 of the groceries in a busy street in Iligan. I only went inside Unicity (one of the shopmarts) once or twice but Jerry's, the other shopmart, was a place Hannah (my british counterpart) and I went to a lot. And it's situated along our road home, whether by jeepney or when we just walk. It's so close to "home."

I guess the decision for the GX team that followed us to change communities was a good move, I can only imagine if they're in Iligan right now - only in their 1st week.

3 people are confirmed dead while about 48 are injured. All civilians.

President GMA apparently was scheduled to go there tomorrow so they are linking the bombing with her "arrival." But it still doesn't make sense; such violence will not make sense.
