I was really scared, i must say. But then I had friends who were calm enough to make me calm as well.
3 days now and we are still experiencing aftershocks every 1 hour, sometimes even at every 5 minutes aftershocks occur. My mom and bro are also worried, we just stay at the first floor near the door so we can run out of the house if the intensity is untolerable. So, it's really unpredictable and it scares the hell out of me. Sometimes, i get so irritated already because of headache. But to think, what I have experienced right now is not half of what those of people in Bohol And people staying outside of the hospital with dextrose, ambo bags and metals. That's why I stay positive and I pray for everyone's safety. Because wherever you may be in the affected area if it's time for aftershocks, you have no choice but atleast don't panic.
That's the key, don't panic.
I've read people's opinion about what happened. Blaming sins and misdoings once again. Saying Cebuanos and Boholanos have sinned too much God has begun destroying churches already. Which is really not fair to be said in situations like this. We do not know why this happened but one thing I know, this is a test of faith. I heard a priest handling a mass in Sr. sto. Nino church, and he said, his faith was shaken. I would understand. It happens. It can occur to us. But we would still realize we are lucky enough to survive the earthquake. I cannot say totally since aftershocks ate still happening and we do not know until when it is going to be. But I still believe there is someone on top of us all watching over us.
I believe in Him.
Let's all pray for everyone's safety and just stop predicting and relating things that are unreasonable. In the end, only God knows.
