| The vertigo-inducing hanging bridge at D'Leonor Inland Resort in Davao City, Philippines |
I was in my room: very close relatives were with me when it started to shake.
It began shaking slowly and steadily.
Quickly, I prayed: "Forgive me, Lord, for all my sins!"
But the tremors continued and even increased its intensity.
Quickly, I prayed again -- this time: "Forgive the sins of my family!!"
But it increased its swift to-and-fro steady shaking -- with a sign to increase for more.
"Forgive the sin of Davao City!!!"
The quake stopped suddenly at the height of its momentum.
As if the ground never shook seconds before I blurted out the third prayer.
Unnatural!
The intensified tremors should have gradually lowered its intensity before it has to stop.
But it stopped -- immediately!
