mmm......the picture on the top is changing, and I just noticed that. =. .=;;

Never mind! That's talk about something in this earthquke.↓


The day before Halloween, we met the First big earthquake in the U.S. at that night.
It looked like a spooky present from God, especially the following day was Halloween.XD
However, Carol and I still sit on our chairs and didn`t want to run outside because it jsut moved horizontally.
We jsut waited to move when it started to move vertically, but I think the problem is where we come from because Taiwan has lots of earthqukes.
Even though Louis had already hidden under his desk, and James run everywhere, we totally didn't want to move away from our bedroom.XDXDD
Thus, I just looked the pile of my books and DVDs fell down. ( Maybe it was time to clean them up.= =;;;;)
About 20 second later, the earthquake stopped, and my uncle said that we didn't have enough alertness to face the earthquake.
Nevertheless, we just are used to meet an earthquake. (It sounds a little dangerous.)
In conclusion, we got a spooky expreience from the night before Halloween.
