police brutality

siyempre ang oa ng title ko. i was thinking of not writing this story on my blog kasi baka mas lalo pa kayo mag-alala (nask, feeling) pero i couldn't help it. it's too exciting not to share.

anyway, yesterday i was at urban outfitter's following shiela's advice on combatting loneliness, which was, well, shopping. so i came there for a pair of sneakers and as i was getting ready to pay, the sales person told everyone to go to the back of the store. there were several policemen with their guns draw just outside the door, and they locked up the store. apparently, may parang bum doon sa labas na may dalang knife and i heard him saying he also had a gun. pinaakyat kami dun sa 2nd floor nung store tapos siyempre puro babae yung mga tao, diretso silip naman sa bintana (dami din palang usi dito sa america). siyempre ako din naki-usi. pinagalitan tuloy kami nung mga sales people ulit. "we don't want you getting hit by a stray bullet or anything" ika niya. abah, talagang naka-alleviate ng panic namin. pero ok lang naman kasi ang daming sofa dun sa store kaya ang sarap ng upo ko. may videogame pa nga (ms. pacman joystick) kaya nakapaglaro pa ako for a few minutes. after a while na-sedate din yung guy, they got him with a stun gun sabi nung iba pang usi. pinalabas din naman kami eventually. by then may paramedics, firemen at camera crew na. dapat nga magpapa-interview ako e. hehe.

exciting din pala dito. . .

ate sasa, if you're reading this, wag mo nalang pabasa kina mama ok?
