Disaster ....sad isn't it?

Well as we all know japan is largely affected by the disaster ~

I'm feeling sad ...very sad these few days ...and my immune system kinda broke down ! Coz flu kicked in sometime yesterday when i was about to head out !

Believe me flu on a 30 degree day is no joke ! ended up with some kinda water pocket in my eye ~ *sigh*

Anyhoo...the flu is almost gone now ....

How nice is it if things can be healed like that ~

more than 1000 people lost their lives ....and thousands more lost everything they have ....on top of that the major concern are the failed cooling system for the nuclear plants !

what can i say? Before friday we are all oing on with life and complaining about the little things like "i'm not thin enough" or " OMG why isn't my internet working??!!" "my life sucks" , "i'm stressed!!" .."LIFE ISN'T FAIR!!"

Before the disaster i was kinda worrying , and complaining about the situation that i have been through last year and the effects it has on me this year ....and being tired of how life is and so on ~

______________

That Friday....most of us were watching odd activities ...like artist retweeting people to get on high grounds , Ruki was constantly advising people to get mineral water supply ... we usually see some post like "earthquake" followed by ..."we are all okey" a few minutes later...This time i sensed something different ....it was around 12 pm ...and the tsunami warnings were just up !

I then realized that it was really serious when i got a knock on my door two hours later....i was already glued to TBS's Usteram live news ( Live footage and news form japan) ...it was an 8.9 magnitude earthquake and the net exploded with videos and news ! Twitter was full of reteweets of videos and information about shelters !

I'm kinda in a "slump" mode ...coz well...Japan is a big part of my life ...everyday i listen to Japanese songs and i follow up on my fav artist tweets ....to see something like that happen is really heartbreaking ...thinking wow ~ this is really bad....

one question haunts my mind

If that happens to me how do i move on?

how? I was devastated and my personality basically changed because of what happed last year....

But..it's a relief to know that Japan anticipated this and is more or less prepared ...and expecting this kinda disaster to happen ( It happens every 30 years)

I'm really glad that we live in a place where is safe...not perfect in every sense...and many times not convenient...but...a normal and peaceful life ....I'm glad we have that ~

Still ....it's scary...i'm actually still in shock ~

watching the news and reading the tweets ....

I only got to know that LM.C was scheduled to perform their live at Sendai on the day of the disaster. All are safe ....Maya and Aiji and their staff ~ ....Alice nine , hiroto and Shou were retweeting shelter information and locations ~ ...i didn't hear form Jun ( Alvino) until sometime in the evening ~... Jun form Venomstrip announced that all members are safe ....runnyrunny999 (uploads japanese cooking videos )posted a video on youtube. He looked really shaken ~ like you can see the fear in his eyes. Japanese people are used to earthquakes ...but to see them that afraid ....it's really heartbreaking ~

I can't do much ...i only can pray ~

On the lighter side of things ....

before all of these happened i did all my chores and decided to (FINALLY) change the rusted guitar strings ~ ...

I borrowed cutters this time ...and the strings are all neat ♥

Sounds really rich now ~ ......Intro part completed !! now to practice the verse plucking ~and train my fingers !

Did you know that today is White day? White day is a day where people give back (chocolates) to people they received chocolates form on Valentines day ~ Mostly celebrated in japan..but i doubt it is in anyones mind at the moment ~

I decided to make something since making something kinda sets me in a good mood ( though it didn't work this time around since it reminds me of the disaster)
Yes another bento attempt....well not too bad but i need more practice ~

Broccoli boiled in salt ....DIY nugets ( made it from minced chicken) and then the challenging Tenpura shrimp...i wanted to make ebi furai but can't find bread crumbs so ~ ..tenpura is the next best thing although not that presentable for a bento ~

Owh ...there were rumors abot some beach here saying that sea snails are washed up dead on the shores? indicating that a tsunami is coming?...borneo post stated that police are warning people NOT to believe these rumors but people are still worried for me ...

No worries ...i'll avoid all the beaches ~ ^^ and i'm fine !

just not that genki emotionally ~

Nothing can really cheer me up now ~

But i'll try to smile okey =)

and oh ~ please pray for japan...no mater what your religion is or maybe you don't have a religion...it's okey just to convey your feelings ....i think Jun of venomstrip kinda saw all the #prayforjapan tags on twitter and he blogged about it thanking everyone for the wishes and stated that somehow ...these feelings might convert to a miracle ....

Somehow i kinda feel that way to ...if people send enough of their prayers a miracle of somesort will happen...i don't mean a super miracle like everything turning back to normal or stuff like that ...what i mean is small little miracles...like finding a loved one alive ...HOPE , water supply ...food ....the nuclear plant cooling ....ect ....it's these small miracles that matter ....I've seen my fair share of little miracles and hope last year and continue to see it....

i guess i've written enough for today ~

I don't know how long i'm gonna be in this phase or how it is gonna turn out for Japan...but i hope all will go well ~
