earthquake today

today i was awaken by the earthquake. i wasnt sure at first if i was just dreaming or its reality. but when i checked facebook, it was confirmed. fortunately it happened less than a minute. this is the first time in years that ive felt an earthquake. i could hear my neighbor screaming while she's in the shower. i think my bedroom wall is by her bathroom. i think i was 5 or 6 when i first experience an earthquake. i can still recall the images that i saw. it was early 90's, i was in the living room with my mom and my brother. i felt the couch moving and i remember the water from the aquarium began to spill. i was just holding on to my mom, i thought it was fun, i wasnt scared after all. prollie coz my mom is there, i felt safe. i miss her...

after the earthquake we went out. i dunno if it was safe but my mom told me that we should go to an open space, like a field with no buildings or any other structues. i saw the ground were cracked already and saw a lot of earthworms and some electric cords or whatever you call it on the ground. i also remembered us watching the news later. i saw some of the clips from the earthquake and it was very tragic, however in my young mind it dint really sink in to me.

no that i am of age, after the earthquake, it made me ponder on a lot of things. why is there an earthquake? why is this happening? could there be more than just a scientific explanation? could it be God's wake up call?
