When I was a kid, my mother and grandmother would make me eat every single grain of rice in my little bowl, telling me to think of how much effort and toil the farmer expended to grow and harvest the rice (that was in the days when “planting rice is never fun, bend from morn til the setting sun...”).

The explosion at Two Serendra Friday evening of the week before last sent the rumors mills churning at frenzied speed. Within hours – maybe even less – there was talk of a bomb being made in the apartment that blew up prematurely (what a sosyal bomb maker!), with some tenuous link to the war of the malls.

On February 6, 2002, I got a text message asking me to contact an agency for a job offer. I was considered for a one-year consultancy work by my former employer. The offer was unexpected; my wife considered the compensation “obscene.” Friends admonished me, that I would be a fool to refuse such a lucrative offer. Considering that my second child would be entering college, I accepted the job. I flew to Manila for my medical examinations and passport renewal. After completing all requirements — delayed by the bureaucratic processes in our government agencies — I departed on April 19 back to the land of kings and princes, oil and sand dunes.
