China Earthquake #16

Normally I would post only on Sunday or later if I had problems posting on Sundays but today I'm going to post my blog while the information is still fresh in my head.

As you should know, today China had an earthquake... and as I mentioned in last week's blog, my parents went to China...
Yeap, you guessed it... My parents ARE ALIVE!!! I'm just messing around with you readers. They came back today although they did feel the earthquake but it wasn't so serious at their area.
This is what my mom told me...

When my dad woke my mom up for breakfast, as breakfast in hotels are only to a certain time of the day, my mom went to the toilet, got back, sat down in front of the make-up vanity and put on her make-up. Suddenly, they noticed things were shaking. My dad was like 'Earthquake ah?!" while my mom replied "Maybe oh!". My mom then looked out the window and saw people already running out of the hotel. My mom went with her friends including her mom (my maternal grandma) and were living on the 6th floor of the hotel at that time. Now back to the earthquake, that time, my mom was thinking that her mom was already so old, how's she going to climb 6 stairs down. Then my mom and my dad looked around and then just sat down. My mom just SAT DOWN and continued putting on her make-up!!! My dad likewise, just SAT DOWN ON the bed. After awhile, they decided to go out of the room and they saw my grandma with my aunt (mom's younger sister) just standing outside. My grandma then told them how they immediately rushed out and just stood there after seeing other people rushing out of their rooms to run out of the hotel naked! Well not really naked, just topless. Man or woman, I don't know. But there were a few of them that rushed out topless so I'm guessing both genders.

After awhile the shaking stopped and they regrouped. During then, one of my moms friend explained her experience (We'll call her Jane for now). When it suddenly started shaking, Jane and her husband (both very chunky... or so we say fat) looked around for places to hide. Then they decided to hide between the beds but had trouble squeezing due to their size. At that time, Jane said she needed to pee! So she went to the toilet instead. But while peeing she said she couldn't stop! She had a strong urge to pee and the pee felt like it went on forever! After finally finishing her business they rushed down the stairs like everyone else. (Although that time my mom was probably still in her room putting on make-up)

Well that's that and now they're back and alive.
Moral of the story: When facing an earthquake, you have to die pretty(mom still putting on make-up) and comfortably (dad decided to wait ON the bed)!
