conflagration
. if your house is burning now, what would you save?.
of course, life and limb would be of paramount concern. any material things can be replaced. even those supposed sentimental items that we all hoard. i guess that question assumes you take out the obvious answers.
and so, the question then is directed towards your material possessions... i would bring my document bag, which holds most of our important documents. i can't really see myself carting away anything else but then again, we would not know what to do/bring until we're in the real situation.
i remember an anecdote that mom would share during family get together. when i was still wearing grade pants/shorts, and plump as one can be, a nearby fire occured in an apartment we were living. it was so close that we had to leave. everyone was tasked to carry what they could grab. the conflagration did'nt reach us and after all the excitement died down, they saw me in the sofa still gripping very tightly, one on each hands, my precious things - SPAM.

now that was one anti-climax i didn't quite expect from you! how refreshing, and how totally funny! now i know what they fed you when you were young!
yup, aside from important papers that i keep in one bag, i'd probably grab the tv and vcd player. why? because it's positioned right smack in the middle of the [small] living room. if i dont take it out first, i wont be able to take out all the other stuff inside the house!
=D. yup. that was source of my joy back then. =D the tv/vcr has to move. fire hazzard! =D
