Yup, there’s an earthquake today at around 12:27 p.m. I’m currently in Bulacan, and when the earthquake occurred, I was inside my room on my bed, reviewing some stuff. There was a bit of shaking but then, I thought it was only because of a moving crane in a nearby warehouse. Only when I received a twit that I finally knew that it was an earthquake.

Details of the earthquake below:

Information was taken from USGS. Just click on the image to see it on a different window.

Bloggers are weird. They’re still twitting even when there’s an earthquake already. :lol:

The best twit I’d say is that one by fireyedboy: EARTHQUAKE! QUICK GET UNDER A DESK! (I will after I finish this tweet hahah). Yes, twits are more important to us than our lives. Haha!

I hope my fellow twitterpeople didn’t mind me taking a screen capture of their twits. Oh well, what can they do? I’ve already posted it. Hahaha.

And what’s even weirder is how bloggers respond to a phenomenon like an earthquake. Can you guess it? Yes, they blog about it! :lol:

UPDATE -  And so it seems that a lot of bloggers have already blogged about their earthquake experience:

How about you?  Did you feel the earthquake?

I’m hosting the 10th edition for the fourth year of Grand Rounds today at my health blog, Prudence, M.D.

What is Grand Rounds, anyway?

Grand Rounds is a weekly rotating blog carnival of the best of the medical blogosphere. Each week, usually on a Tuesday, a blogger will host in his site links to posts of different bloggers about medicine, medical life, experiences with doctors, nurses, and patients, commentaries and reviews about medical news and drugs…actually, anything that is related to medicine and health care.

So, if you’re interested in participating, just check out Grand Rounds later at my health blog, which would be available online today, November 27, 2007, 3:00 p.m. in the Philippines (and that would be about 2:00 - 3:00 a.m. EST).

This is one funny comic I picked up from Pharyngula.com, who, in turn, picked it up from somebody else. But actually the comic can be found here.

What can I say? It’s both funny and true, I think.
