The earthquake was the February 27th, is was on Saturday down and I was sleeping. When I felt it I thougth that is was going to be really soft but then it did not stop and it became more severe. Then I had to sit in my bed and from the other bethroom my grandmother was screaming at me that I must not leave the bethroom, but I was not planning on to do that.

When the earthquake finally stopped, I stood up and put my shoes on. I started walking around the house and I could see glasses everywhere. And I thought that was the reason of the sound during the tremor. Then I went to see my dog, he was on the backyard. I let him get in and then I started talking with my family about what has just happened. I turned on the radio of the car to heard about the situation but no one was transmiting at the time. So I waited until the sun came out and then I went to bed. I was worry about my boyfriend because he lives in Concepción and I was not abble to contact him. I could only talk to him like three almost four days after the disaster.

I wanted to help so I went to several institutions and I left food and personal hygiene products. I also wanted to donate blood but I realized I couldn't because of my health problems. After all happened I learnt that I should not leave things unsaid, value every moment and every person. Besides to be prepared for any similar event like the one we lived that day.
