I had the most terrifying experience in my life this afternoon. I was at gai shopping with my parents when at past 6 in the evening an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.7 occurred. It was nothing like I have experienced before. We were at the third floor when the shaking started. I thought it was just a weak earthquake. But just when the shaking started to slow down, it suddenly escalated rattling the whole building. Everyone was shouting and running to the stairs. I was so stunned with all the hustle going on and the shaking of the building that I wasn’t able to run or do anything. The first thought that came to me was the ceiling. We were at the top floor. If the moving didn’t stop, there’s a big chance the ceiling would fall. So, I kept looking up planning my move if ever the ceiling did fall down. Good thing it didn’t.
My dad just embraced my mom and me and dragged us to the middle of the floor where no glass or object would fall. Now I know what the earthquake victims in China felt. Now I know what it means when people say, when you are in a situation you get so nervous to even think of what you’ll gonna do. All the while the building was shaking, all I saw were people running and things falling. The only thought left in my mind was my parents, the ceiling, and 5360 pesos in my hands(haha).
I would never forget this eventful night.
