Earthquake in Bacolod

August 2, 2008 at exactly 2:21am in my time, earthquake made its presence here in bacolod. I was just enjoying my time viewing videos in youtube and chatting at IRC when i suddenly felt some sort of light headedness and saw the table and the window blinds moving. I heard some strange sounds that goes with it and the cabinets in my room starts to move. At first i was trying to convince myself that i was just hallucinating but when i saw that my standfan just beside me racking on the floor, i knew right there and then that it was an earthquake. i stood up from my chair turn on the lights at the sala and the kitchen and woke my cousin up in his room. My cousin also felt the strong movement of the earth, he thought someone was shaking his bed. it was really strong. tomorrow morning, i will try to watch the morning news to know the magnitude of the quake. Scary. Now im waiting if there's an afterschock.
