yesterday, at 3am, there was an earthquake, and i was one of those ppl who was awakened by this event. i got up and checked on my folks who also got up because of this. my bro on the other hand was really a clueless child, he was fast asleep. so after seeing that i am not dizzy or what, i went back to my room and just lay my back looking up the ceiling. wow! that was something! ive experienced different earthquakes before but all of them while i was awake. this time it woke me up and it managed to take off my sleepiness. so i just cant sleep but was too lazy to read again whatever i havent read for school. so there, i just lay down listening to AM radio, while karen carpenter sings the lines "i must be free..." (dunno the title of that song).

then the reporters phoned in their station to bring their update on the earthquake. and there, that is when i realized that there can occur something such as an aftershock. it dawned to me after i heard it, and how it is sooo possible that there might occur one.

my school bag was seated on my chair, neatly arranged with my top priority belongings inside. my wallet with my atm cards n credit cards, my cellphone freshly out of the charger, my PDA with full batt, and some other stuff that i know i want and need. but then what else do i really need? or what will i do if the aftershock was far more greater than the earthquake itself. so my mind was working like crazy again!

here's what i thought of doing. on the onset, i will grab my luggage bag which is inside my small closet beside my bed. i'll throw anything inside it and go to my closet to grab a couple of shirts, my clean pair of jeans and some undies. then i'll grab my CD's from my JuKeBoX type CD player and save my CD's! then i'll go outside and get some of my brother's stuff so that he'll have some things. then some bottled water and my fave sneakers.

seems like its too much right? or how can i manage getting all of those. right now, i dont know. but as of the time that i was thinking about it, thats all i can think of. believe it or not the most important in my luggage bag are my CD's that is why they are with special mention there.

but the nice thing about thinking about these things is that it makes you realize what is the thing or what are the things that ou cherish most. you also get to realize that you have sooo many things inside your closet that it seems like its cluttering it and you dont really need it sooo much. so it allows you to share it to others who besides the fact that they do not have the same stuff as you do, share it with those who really need it.

so here, here are my thoughts. hope that you share also what you think about this. :)
