We're so unlucky. There is always quake attack. I was eating dinner when so suddenly the chair and dining table moved. I and my sister were so scared. There were only two of us at home. I've learned the quake originated in Davao city. The magnitude was 5.2. There was an aftershock but shortly matter of 7 seconds. We were thankful there were no damages.

I don´t like earthquakes and we have them every day in my country.

You are an earthquake country too.

I have a 2 story house but as I live alone I only use the first floor. That way I can run to the garden if needed.

@cacay1 In my country not many people die from the actual earthquakes as we build solid houses. But a few older people die sometimes from heart attacks when the quakes are too big.

@marguicha, oh my God that's so scary having quake everyday. I also do not like earthquakes. It's a scary thing. It seems nowhere to run and hide. Maybe there are people sick of nervous breakdown.

@marguicha that is so sad old people die because of a heart attack. It is so frightening once an earthquake attacks,
