Broken lives
Monday, March 14, 2011
I guess everyone would know of the awful news going around.Just a recap. Japan was struck by an earthquake last friday, 11th March. The earthquake was of a magnitude of 8.9. And the earthquake brought on a tsunami hitting Japan hard. Many have lost their homes and loved ones during the tragedy.
My prayers go out to everyone in Japan who is affected. I did not take very well to the disasters, mainly because i had a relative there on a business trip. I heard that she is fine though. Also, Japan is a place i love very much, I was there merely a month ago. I was told that some of the places i was at like Odaiba is badly affected, now i only have the photos that i took, to remind me how beautiful Japan was. I was actually planning another trip to Japan around this time to go see the cherry blossoms. I guess its a good thing that i cancelled the trip so that i could handle my school applications and stuff.
I dont think i have been this affected by a natural disaster, i can feel things have changed even though I am not there. there are some obvious changes like the sudden lack of anime (though thats not my biggest concern) I guess thats how it is when we keep such close tabs on Japan for our entertainment and such.
I have been unable to read the news properly either. I really had no clue how important Japan meant to me till all these happened. I cant read the news without feeling that wave of despair washing over me.
I hope that everyone will keep Japan in their prayers and may the people in Japan find hope as they rebuild their lives.
