Tremor!

I cant remember what day it was, but I can still feel the way I felt at that time and on that day (not exactly, but yes!). It was my first (maybe second!) earth quake experience. It was early in the morning (didn't seem like it though!) and almost an hour before winding up at work. I remember I was about to complete my monitoring targets and walk the floor for a while before getting off. I had kept my elbows on the desk and concentrating on the monitoring. I felt like someone was pulling me away from the desk and I couldnt help move back (they're called rolling chairs!). The force was strong. I turned back and saw no one as I kept on moving back. At that moment, I was shocked and I saw my colleague sitting 3 chairs apart moving too. Then, suddenly, all the empty chairs next to us started moving in directions and I stood up with fear (what the!). I removed the headset as I stood up and saw everyone standing up in panic. It happened in seconds. Suddenly, everything came to stand still and I could hear everyone talking to each other saying it was a mild tremor and was common. Everyone went back to work as though nothing had happened. That was my first conscious earthquake experience as I can still remember. We were on the 44th floor of Wynsum Corporate Plaza.

Oh! By the way, that was in Manila, in 2004.
