7.2 Magnitude Earthquake in the Visayas

The earthquake happened on a Tuesday morning at 8. I was asleep when my father shouted to get out of the house then things went on shaking. The feeling was unbelievable like you were in a movie. The shaking lasted for less than a minute but it was the longest I felt. I was with my mom and dad in between of the two houses. Last year we had two earthquakes on February and August. You can see the blog post here.

I went outside of the gate when the shaking stopped.

I immediately grabbed my bags and gadgets in case we need to evacuate. I hurriedly charged my gadgets especially my cellphones.

We felt several aftershocks until now. It was an uncomfortable sleep on the first night the earthquake happened but I made sure to eat on time. Several churches in Cebu and Bohol were destructed including Basilica del Sto. Nino de Cebu and Baclayon Church in Bohol.

Yesterday, mom went to Basilica del Sto. Nino with my brother so I was left at home alone. I decided to play Xbox Kinect in order not to be bothered with the aftershock.

Here's the video which you can view it without a Facebook account. ---> click here.

The image above was a photo of me while playing the xbox. Indeed, it was effective because I was moving and I worried less. I have read friends' FB status about the aftershock while I was playing. If I wasn't playing, then I would be crazy alone at home.

The aftershock will last in a week. 

Xzootic Animal Park in Agape, Loay, Bohol

LOL, so I'm not yet done with my Bohol blog posts. From Baclayon Church, we went to Xzootic Animal Park found those exotic animals I rarely see in person.

If you could notice the pictures below, I am the only present because my cousins and sister were also busy taking their own snapshots because we have our own cameras (digicam/smartphones). lulz

Baclayon Church in Bohol

Wow! I am not yet done with my series of blog posts about my Bohol trip.  So from the Blood Compact monument where we only stayed in few minutes, we went straight to one of the oldest churches in the Philippines, Baclayon Church - The Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.

Blood Compact in Tagbilaran City, Bohol

Whew! I am not yet done with my Bohol blog post and as promised, let's continue with my tour. ^_^

After the Hinagdanan Cave tour, we went to the Blood Compact monument.  This monument is a sign of friendship between the Filipinos and Spaniards.  Boholanos are celebrating the Sandugo festival which Sandugo is a Visayan term for "one blood."  To know more about the Sandugo, click here.

Hinagdanan Cave in Panglao Island, Bohol

Hi there! So I am still blogging for our Bohol trip.  We went to Hinagdanan Cave that early morning.  I think it was my first time to went inside a cave.  The cave has a deep lagoon and it is naturally lighted because of the holes in the ceiling.  Limestone is made of Hinagdanan Cave and it has large stalactites and stalagmites.

We Stayed at Bohol Divers Resort

This is the continuation of our Bohol trip.  It really rained hard when we arrived in Tagbilaran City.  Actually, I never thought that the travel time is very long from the city to Panglao island.  We stayed at Bohol Divers Resort.

First Time in Bohol with Oceanjet

Whew! Call me noobs but that was really a first time to go outside Cebu and we went to Bohol for 3 days and 2 nights stay in Panglao, Bohol.  This was a free trip sponsored by my aunt.

We went to Pier 1, Cebu City and took Oceanjet for the ride.  It says that from Cebu City to Tagbilaran City pier, it takes 1 hour and 40 minutes of travel.
