While applying mascara at around 11AM last Monday, the 6th
of February, I felt my room shake. I initially thought it was the doing of a
huge truck passing by the area. But it was impossible because my place isn’t
near any road where a truck big enough to cause ground tremors can pass by.
When I realized what was going on, my insides started to
cringe. I’ve never felt an earthquake of that magnitude before. It was so
strong that I didn’t only feel the ground moving, I heard it too. It was the
sound of big boulders being rubbed against each other.
I wasn’t all that scared because I felt secure where I was. I
was in my room, on my bed. It’s a single-story structure inside a residential
compound within the heart of Cebu, so there’s no real danger. I stayed calm despite
the panicked shriek of the neighbor’s house help. If I were anywhere inside a
big building though when it happened, I don’t think I’d be that composed.
