Or was it just me thinking that there was some shaking in my place. i felt like there was a bit of shake in my chair while i am sitting in front of my computer. i don't know if i was not just feeling well. just a minute ago i felt like a small shake. I am from philippines, in manila city. I wonder if other filipinos in my city felt this. it lasted less than a minute. So for those in manila also, was there an earth quake awhile ago.

The Philippines is on the ring of fire. Sometimes it's normal to feel a shake or two because of this or to have a volcano eruption.

It does sound like an earthquake may have hit your country. I am glad that you are safe and that there wasn't a lot of damage at your home. I would suggest that you watch the news to see if they mention it. I hope that you do not have any major aftershocks.

I am not sure if there was or not, I am not in the Phillippines, I am in the USA. However, it could have been an equilibrium thing with you. If you have a headache or have been sitting long hours in front of the pc it could be that you just felt a bit nauseous and dizzy for a moment. Either way I hope all is well now!

I hope it is not an earthquake. Watch the news on tv and you should get confirmation whether your place has been struck by any earth movements.

As you described, it very likely to be a magnitude. I hope everything is ok.
