Japan. Tsunami.

It was still a blur, and I was skeptic when I heard my sister talking to my mom about what happened in Japan. I just came home from school, exhausted and really really tired. when my sister said that the earthquake had 8.9 magnitude, I thought she was wrong, and about the tsunami, well I didn't believe that either. I don't know where I heard it from, but what I know was it was just 7-point-something, not higher than that.

So when I turned on our television, the shocking news welcomed me. The news was showing this video of the tsunami: how far it had gone and how bad it had become. And all I was able to say was, "Oh my, God." I have no idea how many times I said that, but it just kept coming. But that's not yet the worse part, the news also said that the tsunami could also hit some of the provinces here in the Philippines. That's the time I got really nervous. What's going to happen now? Even if my province is not one of those that could possibly be hit, I'm still worried about what's going to happen. Who knows how huge the waves are going to be? I just hope everyone's going to be safe. This goes out to everyone who's affected by the latest disaster that had hit our world today.

I have always loved Japan, and I have always dreamed of going there someday. I feel bad about this tragedy not just because it's going to affect our country, but also because there a lot of other people who are affected. There are also some Filipinos in Japan and their relatives here are worried sick. The power supply and communications are down, and there is no way to contact their loved ones there.

I hope everything's gonna be okay soon. I know it eventually will be. Let's not get tired of praying. He will never leave us, He will always be there to protect us.
