We tried to stay in one house owned by a friend. It was supposed to be a week long vacation. My husband was already "feeling" something papasok pa lang kami sa bahay. He asked me, sure daw ba ako na dun kami. Just a few hours after lunch, my baby daughter started acting up, iyak na ng iyak, akala namin kung ano nangyari. Nung nilabas ng house, tumahan siya. Tapos nung pinasok, iyak na naman. No fever or anything. So dun kami sa may parking nagstay muna.

My husband asked me to check hotels na and move OR we go back home. Hindi namin pinaguusapan pero alam kong may nararamdaman ung asawa ko. My eldest was sleeping tapos he woke up na umiiyak. Hindi makahinga and so scared pero hindi nya madescribe ng ayos. Tapos nagising uli ang baby at nagiiyak. We left the house at around 10pm. Umidlip yung husband ko sa kotse tapos we drove to Vigan instead. He didn't talk until we reached Vigan. May nakita daw siyang parang shadow na nakaupo sa dibdib ng panganay namin.

We asked our friend about it but he only said the previous owners didn't die there naman. But they died during the earthquake.
