***I was having my shift at the 4th floor of WCC in Shaw Boulevard when the earthquake jolted Manila. And it was that strong, created a bit of panic on the floor...

Metro Manila Struck by an Earthquake at 6:20AM

Did we just experienced a moderately strong Earthquake or what?

   I was having a leisurely chat with my friends at the 4th Floor of WCC in Shaw, when I thought  I was having another Vertigo attack... but then again all the PEEPS on the floor suddenly began asking if it was an Earthquake... An Earthquake it was!!!

   An Earthquake-phobic, I started packing all my stuffs waiting for another... so far at 6:40AM... no aftershocks felt.
