The magnitude 6.8 earthquake strike us

Hello everyone

It's been awhile I've lost my track again here at hive due to some emergencies that I need to solved it. So todays blog is the unexpected earthquake that happened in my place. I lived in the Philippines at Mindanao part which is Bislig city for almost 43 years. Then yesterday around 9:44 am, it's October 10,2025. The magnitude 6.8 earthquake strike us, that we never thought it will happened again in my place. Oh God help us.

So in the morning I've been busy changing our bedsheets then my baby Collin is playing with his blocks. Later on our floor starting to move along with the windows then baby Collin said "mama earthquake" then I grab him then slowly walk but it's really difficult to walk because of the strength of the earthquake. My siblings been calling me from downstairs to come down. Our walls makes me scared. I'm praying to God that "don't make our house collapsed". All of us are still inside that moment.

When I step to our staircase I forgot to wear my slippers because of scared. My baby Collin was so scared too. He really hugs me. The dangerous part is our staircase, to many steps that I need to do huhuhuhu. I didn't noticed that I've been hit to the walls because I want to go down and go outside our house just to be safe. When I'm almost downstairs my parents are still there so I held them outside while I'm carrying my baby Collin. My sister Jacqueline and her 2 daughters are staying outside already. Thanks God they make it. My younger brother Angelo guide my auntie, the sister of my mother.

(My phone during earthquake)

While we're staying outside I checked my phone and suddenly it's the same last earthquake. Phone alert, red red red. Last December 2,2023 is the most traumatic earthquake that I've experienced in my whole life. They declare the tsunami that we need to evacuate then many aftershocks in 1 day. Imagined that one? Even I'm taking a bath or eating then our house is moving.

After the 6.8 earthquake the aftershock been followed around 7:12pm, so we hurriedly go down with my son along with my brother Angelo. My sister Jacqueline was really scared that her heart been pumping. Even me, I'm totally scared also that even my parents. My 2 siblings been calling us, asking if we're okay. They are too much worried to us. I've lost my appetite last night. I just eat some only.

Before we go to sleep, I'll pray hard to God that no more aftershocks while we were sleeping. Why so many unexpected happened on earth now, the Cebu also been hit by the earthquake. People said "God been punishing us", eventhough it's true but we cannot blame then if they can see the reality. People been abused the nature also.

That's all for today and thank you so much for dropping by. Also to those people who chatted me and give me a call. Thanks for the all concerns for my family. I really appreciate it, especially to my virtual friends here at hive. Thank you so much sis @bloghound for checking us. Missed you so much sis.
