2:10 AM – I was working on a website project, listening to my favorite hits. I was concentrating really hard because I have a deadline to meet when I was suddenly jogged out of my chair. I dragged my headphones with me but regained my balance, I then looked at my husband who was working behind me. It lasted for about 5 seconds 10-25 seconds (I originally though it was just 5 seconds but who could count correctly when under that situation?
), then it slowly dawned on me that we just experienced an earthquake and a strong one at that.
I ran to our room to check on the kids, Reign was crying but Khleomi was sleeping like an angel. But I did get a really bad feeling, I really hate earthquakes! Reign just went back to sleep and I am now going to resume work.
I wonder what the intensity was…

The epicenter was about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Basco, the capital of the Batan Islands in the Philippines and about 340 miles (550 kilometers) south of Taipei, Taiwan.
No injuries, deaths or damage were immediately reported, said Manny Torres of the National Disaster Coordinating Center in Manila, Philippines. The center put the earthquake at a 6.3 magnitude.
