years ago, i bought something from the mall. and since i need to go to my work in the hospital at 2pm, i went out of the mall and was about to take into a tricycle (a public unitility vehicle here in a province in the philippines) and proceed to work. i was only like 2 minutes away from the exit of the mall when i heard a loud bang! i was so terrified that the main entrance and exit and as well as the baggage are (where you can leave your belongings before entering the mall) just blew! a terrorist left a bag of bomb there. i was so terrified that i could not move. i have seen so many people crying for help and bleeding. but i could just not move. i was trembling.
after a few minutes, i took off with the tricycle and proceeded to my work. and while on my job, the victims were rushed to the hospital i worked for. i was still terrified i could not believe what happened that same hour.
still, i was glad to be of service to them in the hospital. sometimes, i look back and realize that i am still lucky to be alive. i could have died if i went out a little late.

Oh my Gosh! I can't believe that happened to you!! I'm so glad you are ok!!! I would of been terrified also. I couldn't even imagine! That's horrible.
I've probably not ever been that scared, but I was pretty scared when we had a tornado. It's horrible when there is no place to run to be safe.
Thank God you are ok and that you eventually got to help those poor people that were injured. God Bless you!

Yes!Back when I was in highschool.I always want to go to any province,stay there and take a vacation.One summervacation, My friend celebrating her 18 bday, all her classmates and friends including me went to there province for 3 days,some of her relatives know me alreday cause its my 3rd time to go there.The night of celebration i was not so drunk but a little bit tipsy, his cousin approach me and ask me if i can go with him to buy some drinks not far from the house.At first I feel not comfortable but suddenly when my friend say "Go girl!go with him, dont worry you only buy some drink".When we start to walk at first he so far from me, but in the middle of the road he become close,he put his arms around me and suddenly say "I liked you"he force me to go to somewhere I was so scared, I thought that would be my end, I immediately push him away and run past!I dont know how i got back to the house but i go in the room and lock the door.My bestfriend notice me and she went to the room.She ask what happened?At first Im scared to tell her cause maybe she wont believe me, but after I realize that she may help me.I suddenly tell her. And after that, early the morning my bestfriend and i went home.

he's so rude. he obviously had a bad intention on you. you can actually file a case against that man for harrassment. but i am glad that you did escape that bad day.

hi mary
this has never happened with me though i am knowledgeable to it as in India due to terrorist attack a lot of people die every year.
one years before if i am correct a terrorist attack killed a lot of innocent people. our government is doing all it can do to stop terrism.
once they entered into the parliament and open fired.
people of India are effect by it and this is a big problem for us.

Oh my goodness I know that must have been very scary for you. I am very sorry that happened to you. But I am also very glad you were OK.
I think the closest thing to that for me was. I was about 17 and I was walking to a lake with a few friends. And across the street from us there were some people fighting. I was trying to hurry my friends up and we stared walking faster. When we got a few feet away from them one person shot the other. I was so scared all I could do was run.
