Yesterday I know that the world is in great panic about the said earthquake that will occur in the Philippines and could made to kill 70,000 of people. And it have the magnitude of 7.5.

Even me, when I was in school I am so really thinking about that said earthquake and praying and hoping that the earthquake is not true. And after our exam because yesterday is our exam day, after our exam I really leave the school too early. I asked the permission of my boss to let me to go home early, and then he let me out. When i arrive din our home I really tell my grand mo and even my mother about that earthquake for them to be ready if that said earthquake is true.
