Burma, I'll be praying

Omg.
Would the army in Burma stop killing the monks? I mean, you're going against your own religion, and you're killing thousands of monks. I just went teary eyed just now, heehee. I pray for you, Burma :)





Someone from the office went out to there, and came running back when there were shots being fired. He said they were being shot up into the air, and into the crowd too. That was around 2:50pm.




He didn't see anyone being hit, though a girl told him that her friend was hit. I heard the gun shots too, but it sounded alot like clapping. So I went out to look. People were running back, and some were just staying in the place, and some were walking back towards Sule Pagoda. I was reading the news on a blogger's Cbox, and it said that at least 5 monks were dead at Shwedagon Pagoda. My sis had already called home and told my brother not to go to work. I called home too, and also to my father. He told me to stay at work and not to go out.At 3:03 pm, I saw a large group of people coming up from Bo Gyoke Road, from Pan Soe Dan side, and joining the group near Sule Pagoda.At 3:10 pm, my boss told us all to go home. He said he'll give some of us a lift, so I went home with him. When we got to U Htaung Bo Circle, the road to Shwegondine was blocked, so we went around, took a shortcut and emerged out from the road near Lumbini Restaurant (formerly an ILBC school). I was taken to home first.

I was watching the news when it came on at 8:00pm. The first news that came was to report if anyone was forced to donate money and food to the protesters. Then, what came next was other unimportant news like planting jatroba curcus, and visiting factories and stuff. On at the end of the news, it was announced that during the clash on Sule Pagoda Road, 1 unidentified person was killed and 3 were injured because of the shooting, and that some police officers were injured.



My friend said I was brave blogging about this when I am confused about where I stand. I was not being brave. I am a coward hiding in the office. At first, I started removing my photo in my profile, and was going to hide the posts that provide personal details of me. Then I decided not to because I am not doing anything wrong.In the midst of all these chaos, I am very afraid. I am afraid for myself, I am afraid for my family, and I am afraid for the country.
