So, I’m in bed dreaming and all of a sudden, I’m feel my futon moving, as if someone were pushing it across the wood floor. In my half awake-half asleep haze, I look up to see the curtains swaying a bit, along with the girls’ desks, and my table covered in books and homework. When I awake fully, I notice the entire room is swaying and I pop up from under my covers, thinking, “WTF?!”. All of this, I am certain, happened in the span of maybe three seconds — if that. But I think just experienced my first Earthquake/tremor. It wasn’t as cool  as the ride at Universal. And now, it’s 7:30am and I can’t sleep.

On top of that, I noticed two nights ago when the typhoon was coming through, that I felt very swirly. Everything was sort of dizzy; my head, the way I walked, the house. Just thought I’d mention that. :)
