...Narrow is the road and wide is the gate that leads to heaven...

It was 6^th in February 2012 at exactly 11:49 in the morning that the 6.9 earthquake magnitude struck in the whole Negros Oriental province. Particularly here in Guihulngan City and in our neighborhood towns and cities.

A minute before the earthquake, I was walking from school to our boarding house. When I was in the eatery, suddenly the very devastating earthquake struck. I heard a very loud sound coming from below the ground like a thunder together with a very strong wind. I was so afraid during this time accompanied by worries about my family. I was running outside the boarding house because I was so afraid of what will happen next.

After that, when the ground shaking became slow, I slowly stand and walked going inside boarding house. When I arrived in my boarding house, I was shocked by the things that were scattered in the kitchen. I was so very sad looking on some of my valued things.

After that, I packed some of my very important things and evacuate from our boarding house to an area which is safe from tsunami. I sleep for one night in this area. And there, I realized that living not in our home is not easy. Days After, I went to our home in Sandayao by just walking because there were no more vehicles for us to ride because there was no gasoline being sold.

Because of this event, I am always making myself ready all the time. And I am praying and hoping that this very devastating earthquake will not happen again.

The earthquake really changes my life’s outlook. Before, I didn’t go to church but I always pray in our home but when earthquake came, I go to church and pray. Because I realize that we need to have a time for Him even a short time. And we can call Him anytime. I am so thankful that He saves me and my family. He is really good to us...
