A 6.8 Magnitude Eartquake in Cebu and What I Did

So yea. Cebu was hit with a 6.8 magnitude earthquake just before 12nn. It started with a slow vibration then the swaying followed. Our building actually swayed! Cool! Is it weird that I didn't feel any fear when the earthquake was ongoing despite the fact that we are on the 7th floor? I think that something is wrong with me or I just know that nothing bad is going to happen. I just had to tweet before leaving the building. PPfftt...

I feel like in school again. We were asked to go home by the building official and our boss confirmed it. Yey! No class work!! I had to walk from our office to our house since all the jeepneys were full and we got tired waiting.

When I got home, I checked my mail and other stuffs(and patted Zero and Aki. hehehe). People's statuses were all about the earthquake and an incoming tsunami.Tsunami?  Really? Then a few minutes later, I can hear shouting and panicked voices outside our house. I thought there was another shooting or someone being chased down and beaten up. Guess what? People panicked because they said that the tsunami has already reached CIT. Were they just joking? Based on my mom's description of them, they really thought it was true and were already packing their stuffs. Minutes later. they were saying that the flood was already in Colon, Fuente and Lahug. Seriously people, Lahug? pppfftt...

Unknown people were running down the street carrying their children and a few belongings. It's not end of the world people!! Whoever made that rumor did a great job. People all over Cebu really panicked. And I thought our neighbors were the BOGOest of the BOGOest. People were not listening to the news anymore, TV/Radio people were explaining about the tsunami warning. People should listen more.

This is the 4th tsunami earthquake in my life and it's only second to the strongest that I felt. I could still remember my 1st earthquake, I was left at the dining table staring at the ampalaya (because I refused to eat it.XD). Then the world shook and I thought there was an airplane going to park the backyard. hahaha. We ran outside and stared at our shaking house.

Enough about quakes. To make the most of my half-day vacation, I'm going to read book. This will be my 4th book this year=3
