It's been almost two (2) months since I last wrote on my financial literacy blog. So many things happened, so many learnings learned, some good things and some not so good things. Often times I relate and connect the dots to what I write to how things happened in my life. There was this topic I wrote which I remembered after a tragedy came to our family and it was about "Emergency Fund".
It's really important to have emergency fund, but in my case; when I was about to gather it, tragedy came.
Last December 9, 2011 (Friday) a fire emerge at Magallanes Street. Let me share you my story a few days before the accident happened.
December 7, 2011 (Wednesday) 2-days before the incident, we (glamourshots crew) travelled to Seagull Mountain Resort (Buda) for a wedding shoot. My boss told us to travel in the afternnoon so we'll have enough time and rest because the wedding would be on the 8th. So I packed up my gears and the clothes I need for the shoot and a few "pambahay" for sleeping. Since Buda is in a high altitude place, i brought my jogging pants and jacket. I have 2-bags with me (gears and clothes).
December 8, 2011 (Thursday) 1-day before the incident, the wedding preparation is about to start, it's early in the morning and we're heading where the couple is staying. That day had a very nice weather, sunny yet the cool breeze of air is felt. We worked starting from the preparation until the end of reception. Since we are scheduled to leave Buda before it gets dark (foggy road path) we sent our goodbyes to the couple and head back to Davao.
