Hah! I’ve been missing out lately. My blog is barely new and I’m ignoring it again, the reason behind it is I have been really busy with work lately. I’ve been working overtime for the past two weeks & I tell ya it is crazy. I thank God that deadline is done today!

Anywhooo, I think you’ve heard the news all over the net, tv, newsaper or to other few people. There was an earthquake last Tuesday & it was pretty scary… It is actually my second time to experience earthquake in LA in a high rise building, oh yea we are in the 27th floor. I panicked. I thought I was gonna die that day. haha! We evacuated the building and took the stairs from 27th floor to the ground floor, just like the usual fire drill we have. And my legs hurt until now because I was wearing my high heels. I didn’t even had a chance to change because all I was thinking was to leave because I didn’t wanna die hahahah! So my thighs and legs are still sore right now….. what we did was wrong! we weren’t supposed to evacuate!! arggh..

So, I looked up online on what to do when there is an earthquake. This will be good, so you (or I) would know what to do next time without panicking..What to do during earthquake!
