Earthquake, Again

Yeah, Last Friday, we again, Had an Earthquake!

I was alone in my flat, did chatting with my friends while the desk where I put my lappy shook and made me shocked. I run outside to the hall and saw there was no panic things such us usually happen when an Earthquake happen. Ok I saw two of my neighbors whom I don't know the name ( that's Jakarta: its an amazing if you knew who stays near your house) They went downstairs by using the emergency stairs in spite of the elevator, but the way they reacted, it looked that they were not panic at all. The other mommy that I saw held the two daughters and tried to went downstairs too, but again, they were not panic at all.

So I remembered the advice of my mom in law that in there were an earthquake, we better not run downstairs use the emergency stairs to avoid the "breaking material buildings". So because we stay in the highest floor, it is better for us to stay there and find a hard material to hold on after the shaking time is over.. Because its more risky if we run through the stairs ( emergency stairs is the weakest area where earthquake happens, because most of people use that)

Then I stood in the edge of the floor, observed another hall trough the glass window for a few second. After I felt Ok, I went inside our flat and chatted with my fellas. One of them asked me " Grace, did you feel the earthquake ??" and I Shocked, released it, took my mobile, got my Jacket and there I saw a missed called from my hubby..ok, its really an earthquake, I thought.

Then I went downstairs and found that there were so many people. I did not want to go upstairs before my hubby came because I knew He will go home directly in this case and I was not wrong, 10-15 minutes waiting ( because the office is near) He arrived and I felt sooooo Happy and roomy ... Huh..Please God be with us every time and thank you for the guidance

How To Face an Earthquake

This pictures is informative, shows us what we are supposed to do when earthquake happen. The location is inside the classroom so I think maybe this media is used to the early hood..so simple, but informative, easy to adapt and very useful

Earthquake at Pariaman

I just read some status in my friends' Facebook and they said that there was an earthquake in my hometown and where my parents are staying:Pekanbaru, just a few minutes ago

At the moment I got panic and I turned on the Television. The fact, the earthquake happened at Pariaman, West Sumatra.. Oh my God, most of my mom's relatives live there!

God please save all of the people there..

Pasca Gempa TaSik

Gempa.. huh 1 kata yang sekarang lagi bikin gw trauma..biasanya kalo ada gempa gw ga pernah "nyadar" dan pasti kelewat gitu aja..tp yang kemarin bener2 bikin gw ngacir en takuttt bener..huh rasanya udah kiamat deh..

Siang kemarin gw yang abis interview di bilangan Wahid Hasym nongkrong dulu di Sarinah sambil nungguin temen gw yang balik kantor 1 jam sesudahnya..jadi ceritanya kita mau Buka Puasa aka Bubar bareng ( walopun cuma dia sih yang puasa..hihi) secara kita juga udh ga pernah ketemu sejak gw married..

Jadi selagi nungguin dia, gw ngobrol ama hubby tercinta via HP..biasa..headline news ttg interview tadi..lagi enak2nya ngobrol tb2 hubby gw bilang gini " eh Sayang bentar ya ada gempa" trs langsung nutup telp..nah GW yang rada lambreta koneksinya masih mikir" wah ada gempa ya disana" sambil nyandarin badan ke salah satu meja yang ada..ehh tiba2 manekin yang didepan gw goyang en meja sandaran gw juga bergerak bowww!! dan bodornya gw masih aja belum ngeh sampe akhirnya manekin tadi keep shaking and orang2 pada teriak2 plus berhamburan keluar...

Pas baru nyadar en kelemotan gw berakhir, mulailah gw berjuang berdesak2kan lari keluar Sarinah.untung aja masih dilantai 1 jadi ga perlu turun tangga.. situasinya bener2 riuh, rame en hectic..semua pada nyebut nama yang diatas yang tambah bikin situasinya makin menyeramkan..

Naah karna diluar pada ngeliat kearah tower yang ada di datas Sarinah..gw pun nanya ke salah 1 mba yang ada didepan gw..jadi ternyata katanya tower tadi sempat bergoyang bowww.. makin parnolah gw sampe akhirnya gw mutusin keluar dari halaman Sarinah dan tdnya sempat mau ikutan manjat pager yang udah rame dilakuin..ehh pas udah ngantri gw baru nyadar kalo gw kan pake rok boow.. untung deh ingetan gw yang biasanya slow mode on kali ini nunjukin pintu keluar yang ga jauh dari tempat gw..jadi deh gw pasang kecepatan tinggi untuk keluar..sampe didepan jembatan busway, ada bapak2 teriak gini " jangan pada numpuk di Jembatan!!" bikin gw en yang lain parno dan niat untuk nyebarang jadi ilang..jadi deh gw duduk manis di halte depan Sarinah..huh..rasanya jantung gw mau copot...

Gw langsung inget hubby tercinta..gw cuma hubungi dia..ternyata signalnya parah abis..gw coba pake Xl ga ada koneksi..gw ganti pake CDMA juga sami mawon..alhasil pikiran gw belum bisa tenang..kira2 20 menitan nunggu akhirnya gw berhasil ngubungin hubby gw.. Thanks God He was OK walopun gw bisa ikutan turun dari tangga darurat yang udah penuh..

Pas ngomong ama hubby dia kasi tau supaya telp mertua gw di Bandung karna ternyata pusatnya ada di Tasik..jadi deh gw coba hub mami en papi mertua gw..but there was no answerr..makin panik tingkat tinggi deh gw..gw coba hub no telp rumah sampe klinik mertua gw ga ada yang jawab...akhirnya setelah hubby telp dan ngasi tau kita ketemuan di Harmoni secepatnya gw pun ikutan ngantri di Halte busway yang udah penuuh sesak ama manusia sambil berusaha ngubungin mertua gw tadi

Setelah ada kali 2o menit gw coba telp, akhirnya baru deh diangkat ama papi mertua gw.. ternyata si papi tea dengan nyantai ngejawab kalo mereka ga papa.. huh..baru deh gw bisa bernafas lega..abis itu gw hubunging Nyokab di Riau dan kasi tau kalo gw baik2 aja..secara nyokap udah liat di Tipi en udah mulai worried..and after that gw baru lega sepenuhnya setelah nelp abang gw di Bintaro yang said he is Ok..Thanks once again God

Nyampe di Rumah Susun kita tercinta.. masih pada keliatan raut muka tegang dari mba2 yang jaga salah satu kios di depan pintu masuk..dan waktu gw tanya dia bilang gempanya kerasa banget disana dan semua pada berhamburan. keluar lewat tangga darurat.. waah gw ga kebayang gimana kalo gw pas lagi ada dirumah sendirian..secara unit kami ada dilantai 15 walopun tangga darurat ada disamping unit dan memadai buat semua penghuni..huh..

Malem kemarin gw masih wasapada dan siaga I..takut kali2 ada gempa susulan.. liat di tipi sih katanya udah aman tapi sumpah satu malam kemarin gw ga bisa tidur..takut bin trauma... Please God Be with Us.. Be with the victim also..Give them strengh to pass this all..
