After my long absence here I didn't expect for my first post when I got back would be about something like this...


(copy/paste from blog [link] )

Hello!
From all the things I was planning on posting and do this week I decided to put it in halt for a bit more and write about the incident in Japan.

As many would know, there was a massive earthquake of 8.9 in Japan that caused a horrible tsunami. Most of the damage was done by the tsunami affecting the west coast close to Sendai.

After the tsunami hit, all I could do was try to contacts friends in Japan. It was very worrisome and I really was trying to not freak out. My mother was worried as well because of friends but the was able to contact her friend and everything was ok on her side, except a family member of hers that had his house falling and had to move with a friend. I was able to sleep that night (more like morning) because I got responses from some friends and I felt relieved and able to go sleep. The past days I have been receiving more replies and I was able to be more at ease. I was running out of things to distract myself with orz Until now, only two friends are left that I'm waiting to receive news from. This still worries me...
I wanted to send letters to friends on friday but because of this I couldn't...I wish to know of the status of mail services over there. Since my friends are not replying I want to send them letters, I really want to know how they are doing. They don't live close to Sendai, but might have acquaintances there.
Hope the community back home have contacted their loved ones and are staying clam.
I have also contacted childhood friends with family in Japan and was told they are safe. The problem was communication...it was hard to establish contact in certain areas. I also saw that some people were having problems with accessing their mail accounts.

Right now all I can do is pray and wish for people to stay safe. The aftershocks are still ongoing. An earthquake every 10mis approx in Tokyo...Is worrisome...
Also the nuclear plants...hope they stay stable and hope for no meltdown>.<
