Just this 2 - 6 - 12 Monday a 6.8 magnitude quake hits the pacific between the places Cebu and Negro (Philippines). Our place is from the northern part of Cebu,but still we felt the earthquake. It was noon about 12-1pm when me and my friends we're in a internet cafe playing. We wondered why the pc stands are shaking. We shouted 'hey stop shaking!' , suddenly we saw that the chairs also move and the ground is shaking! poof! EARTHQUAKE we shouted. It lasted about 15-20 seconds. I was shocked for that is the first time that i felt that shaking moment consciously. It was kinda fun, the shouting and everything but knowing that it is a quake its so frightening thinking what would happen next, or if anyone would get hurt. I still feel the aftershocks til now, i hope this stops and nobody gets hurt.

I was sleeping when it happened. My brother shouted telling me to turn off the TV. Then I heard the sound effects... Went outside and wished I wasn't asleep that time :(
