A leaning house taken from our old apartment's balcony up in the mountains a few years back. Must have been hit by an earthquake.

Taken from the mountains

Good evening, wonderful souls or good morning wherever you are!

Nobody knows what will occur in the next couple of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years . Toward the beginning of today, July 27th, 2022 around 8 in the morning, I was still snoozing and stir when I felt our home was shaking. Walls moving. Wires waving. Trees whooping. I heard blended sounds from a good distance. My daughter @naniplayergamer was likewise still asleep. I woke her up and told her there's an earthquake. She taught she was dreaming. She felt the intensity. It was ridiculously strong. The power shut off. I was in a panic mode. Scrolled my social media. It was magnitude 7.3 and we are very close from the epicenter.

Haphazardly, we moved out from our room and emerged from the house. There's no spot to stow away from the tremor. We went to the yard where it was a safer to stay for a minute. The quake went on for nearly 60 seconds, another sort of sense. This reminded me of the killer quake occurred in the month of July in 1990. It was my birthday. I was very young, yet the memories triggered. My tension spilled all around the body.

Ooops the power wen off. Again. It's past midnight and I hope I'll be able to get some sleep tonight.

To all my friends here in the Philippines, I wish you all safe. Time check: 12:42 am. Thursday.

One love,
