To avoid traffic and hassle everytime i travel going to my work at Makati from my house at Morong,Rizal, I choose to live temporary at my grandfather's house located at Quiapo Manila. From my work i have to take bus going to LRT Leveriza and take LRT going to Carriedo Station to reach my grandfather's house.
Last August 4, 2008 (Monday),because i wrote this blog 1 day after, when i was on my way going to Carriedo Station, I heard the announcement at LRT train but i ignore it. Every station he always give his reminder but my mind doesn't focus with it plus the noise of passengers. When we arrive at United Nations Station, 2 stations more before i reach Carriedo, i listen to what the announcer talking about. He said that"Paalala po sa mga pasahero, ugaliin po nating kumapit sa mga safety handrills at iwasang sandalan ang mga pintuan,Next station Central Terminal.", after he announced it he paused for a while and continue."Hindi po kame magbababa sa Carriedo Station,maaari lamang pong bumaba sa pinakamalapit na istasyon o sa Central Terminal." After i heared the announcement, i wonder why, but still i follow what was his instruction. When i was in Central Terminal, i asked the guard where can i take jeepney going to Quiapo and he gave me right direction. I also asked him what had happened why was the train did not open its door at Carriedo Station,he told me that there was an accident happened at Carriedo, there was a fire!.
The next morning, when i was going to my work, i tried to go to Carriedo Station if it is available, and fortunately, it is! Now i know the reasons, the Good Earth Plaza located at Carriedo was hit by the fire and about a million cost of property damaged.
