Day 343 of 365: San Bruno

i'm sitting here, in front of my computer, while watching the news about the gas pipe explosion that rocked San Bruno. It's one of those events that kept you on the edge of the seat and makes you wonder what's really going on. This is quite a tragedy and, honestly, this is something that the church cannot ignore. Church communities that believe in the body of Christ as one need to move to respond greatly. Prayer is important for those that lost a lot from this, but take your faith and put it into action! i'm planning to see what i can do and get people together to work to provide relief in some way. We cannot afford to sit on the side lines and just pray.

Well, in the mean time, a quick run through of the day. Work and then Annie and i went to Koi Palace to finalize some details for the wedding. After lunch and the meeting with the event manager, we went to Cupertino after to help Annie get her dress and accessories. All these went by fairly quickly. We did drop by a mall to kill some time, but realized that it was a dying mall. Why? Half the stores there are empty while others are vacant. Scary almost to see an empty and failing mall. We went to Border's to escape the creepiness.

We met our photographer to go through more details about shots and schedules. It was exciting to see what we have planned out for the wedding day and i'm sure that everyone will have a great time! Had dinner at Maru Ichi, which is mostly known for their ramen, and it was a great dinner! Just as we started eating, Annie got a call from Cindy about the San Bruno fire news. This was two hours after the fire started and we were shocked at the news. More shock when we tuned to a news radio for more information as we drove back home. Annie and i even drove by to take a look and thankfully it's in an area that is away from friends. Our hearts still went out to those that were involved.
