Tonight i have a wedding dinner to attend to. It’s to celebrate the union of one of my good friend and her wonderful other half. They have been together for since i remember, it’s about time these inseparable love birds tie the knot. I wish her all the best and may the happy couple have a long and loving live together!

On another note, it feels kind of wrong to be celebrating at a devastating time like this. Japan had been hit by a 8.9 magnitude earthquake (one of the worst earthquake recorded in history) yesterday afternoon. The earthquake and 10 feet tsunami had caused destruction like i could never possibly imagine. Though the actual death toll have not been counted for, it’s not a figure i look forward to learn. Seeing the video footage of the disaster is heart breaking. Seeing Japan, a country so modern and advance swept away just like that is more than unnerving.

The disaster that struct Japan this time is on a league of it’s own. With a nuclear reactor sitting in the earthquake zone, i’m afraid the worst is not over. Already there are warnings about radiation leak causing mass evacuation. I’ll be constantly monitoring the news for updates. Let’s hope it’s all under control.

Sigh, it seems like it’s disaster after disaster after another disaster isn’t it? I might be skeptical about the Mayan prediction before but right now i’m almost a believer. It might not happen on 2012, but damnit it does feel like the world is ending soon. With the earth plate shifting so drastically fast (i read somewhere saying that the earthquake in Japan had caused sped up the earth rotation by 1.6 microseconds), perhaps we’ll live to see a new continent formed, who knows…
 

Citizen of Japan, stay strong. We will be praying for you. God bless.

Citizen of the world, constant vigilance.
