I was chatting with my sister online at around 4pm when she sent me a link about an earthquake that happened after 2pm somewhere in central China. Read more about the earthquake here because this blog is not a news blog *rolls eyes*.

If it’s one thing I’ve learnt in the Philippines, it’s that you should seek cover (like under a table) when there’s an earthquake happening. A few minutes ago in the news, it said that if you’re in a really tall building (in Shanghai) the best thing to do is to stay inside the building because it’s meant to be able to sustain a 7.0-magnitude quake. Also, Shanghai is not on any earthquake belts so there shouldn’t be anything to worry about. ICS news then added that the taller buildings in Shanghai are a lot safer to be in during an earthquake than the smaller buildings (like my dorm?). Just great…as if I’m not hated enough already.
