Philippines EarthQuake March 25,2010: I was at SM Makati, didn't feel a thing. 6.1 earthquake off the coast of Mindoro Island. According to our maids, the after shocks in Taguig lasted for 30 minutes. A lot of people evacuated our 22 storey building on Taguig City but they didn't. They stayed put. They were texting my household help (the people below) to come down but they didn't. They were with Lucia, our youngest 6 month old baby. She was awaken by the quake. Our dining room "chandelier" was swinging wildly the maids said. But the power was still up and the ipod we left playing on the 2.1 sound system was still playing OPM Bossa Nova (for the help).
Anyway, we were at the mall with Sean. I was carrying Sean on an Ergo baby Carrier and was shifting my weight a LOT - we didn't feel the earthquake at all - even after riding the SM employees elevator up. We took the escalator down though. I did get a call from my friend who was among those employees in the Fort who evacuated their building and wasn't allowed back in for quite a bit till the tremors stopped. I could hear the background noise from her phone call.
I was wondering why there were a LOT of SM employees coming and going from the elevator/employees area - in the 3rd floor. I thought it was a massive shift change. I didn't know tectonic plates where the ones being shifted.
This quake is funny. Because lots of people are talking about "global warming" and "what's happening to our world". The same sentiments during the 1899 turn of the century, I'm sure.
My thoughts, check out the waves in the batangas and mindoro area/specially puerto galera. As of now 5pm, no news of tsunamis were reported.
