aftershock

iloilo province, negros island and cebu were hit by a 6.8 magnitude quake at 11:59 am this morning.

we just had our brunch when we felt the earth moved under our feet. we went out to the street with our night gowns on. it was the longest quake that i've ever experienced.

every establishment was ordered by the city government to close.

at work we were sent home.

there were several aftershocks that made people more worried and scared.

for ramir, tara and i, the earthquake stressed us out. we ended at grand hotel's spa. we treated ourselves for a body massage to relax our muscles. in the middle of the massage, we felt another tremor. my therapist got so scared she wanted to head out of the door. what tara and i were worried about was, if we'll rush out of the door, we'll only have our towels on. we endured the shaking for a few seconds then continued with the massage. a few minutes after, while the couple was having their manicure, we were shaken again. the therapists were already running through the hallway. problem was, we can't catch up with them coz tara's other foot wasn't done yet. we just ran out to the lobby and the therapist continued to do her nails. and there was another aftershock.

we were all relieved when we finally got out of there. we felt safer.

there will be more aftershocks these following days. i don't want to fall asleep coz i hate to be woken up by tremors............
