swerte gyod gihapon ko nga wa ko katan-aw. okay lang unta kun di pa ko helpless. wa man gyod intawon koy mahimo...
sometime last month... precarious man gyod intawon among residence diri sa manila. it's an 18-storey building, mao nga medyo wary ko for emergencies, like fires and earthquakes. because i'm alone most of the time, naa koy permanent emergency bag nga puniton lang diretso kun magkalisod. contents: a day's change of clothes, legal documents, cash and jewelry, medicines.
anyway, kausa, ni-dingdong ang roving guard; he asked calmly if i was cooking something that was burning. i wasn't. the corridor had an alarming presence of smoke, i noticed. my knees turned to jelly.
i did the following, in this order: called the banana republic, put our cat in his carrier, picked up the emergency bag, carried both the carrier and bag to the corridor, locked our door, and waited for the banana republic.
magkalisod ang kalibotan, unahon gyod nakog dala ang buhi. second priority lang ang emergency bag.
