Earthquake!!!

We had an earthquake yesterday! Earthquakes, typhoons...get me off this island!
Actually, it was kind of cool after my mind caught up to what was going on and we just enjoyed the swaying of the building on the 22nd floor. Laura's first earthquake and she didn't have a clue anything was happening. We just hung out in the bathroom doorway for about 1 minute or so. It wasn't shaking as much as just swaying back and forth. We don't have anything on the walls to fall off, so the only exciting thing you could see was the vertical blinds moving back and forth. Pretty cool.

Jim's been working so hard at the computer that he pulled a muscle in his neck - no kidding! poor guy had to go to the doctor, but that turned out to be surprisingly pleasant, it sounds like. And very cheap! $5! He said it was quick, the doctor seemed to know what she was talking about and he felt very comfortable with her doctoring skills. Only problem is that the drugs she prescribed don't seem to have much affect on him. He's thinking its because he's so much bigger than the average Filipino that he needs a bigger dosage. But he's sticking with her prescription, as far as I know and I think its improving. Its good to know the medical care here can be efficient and helpful.
