Did you guys feel the earthquake here in Manila a little less than an hour ago? I'm in my condo on the 6th floor with my girlfriend, we're looking at funny online videos, and then she puts her hands on the table and she's like, "look."
I hold still, and she does too, and the table and the plates are moving back and forth as the ground's swaying gently under us. I've never been in an earthquake before. We left the building, just in case. Most of the people on the ground floor didn't even notice, but I guess since we were on the 6th floor, the quake caused the building to flex:

I'm hoping that's that and nothing comes of this.
Yeah, I'm here in Makati.
Shaking stuff around on the 15th floor.
I grew up with earthquakes in my home city but this is the first time I've experienced one whilst in a high rise building.
A bit unsettling.
