I think that all of you guys know about the earthquake and the tsunami in Japan on 11th march 2011. It is very powerful. The quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900. I have seen a lot of news and videos on TV. The news reported that 350 people are dead and about 500 missing, but it is feared the final death toll will be much higher. I feel sad and scared. I cannot imagine how I live without home, water, food, electric city, phone and internet. Moreover, there is another problem of the nuclear power plant. I am so scared and hope this will not happen to me.
But on 24th march 2011 at 9 p.m, I felt something. I was in my bedroom and watching TV. I shaked and felt dizzy. then I knew immediately that it was the earthquake!! I was frightened and panic. I ran outside my house and thought about what was happed in Japan. I waited for a few minutes, made sure that there was nothing. Then I came inside. From this situation, I realise that our life is so short. Terrible thing can happen any time. So we should pay attention on every minutes in our life. And do the best for everything so when something happen I will not regret for the thing I have done.
The night that the quake happened in Burma also scares me off. I was shuddered to the saying that the world will soon end. I murmured to my mom who sat next to me that I love her and held her tight. The quake was not last long but its impact stays.
ReplyDeleteI have always warn myself not to waste time complaining about life and move on and live my life the fullest, but some time it is so hard to prevent my mind from doing so. To me, the quake is like a reminder telling me to be careful about every second I spend. To love deeply and to forgive quickly.
When I heard the news about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I thought of Japanese teachers who taught me in the college. Some teachers came back to Japan when they finished their teaching. I don’t know where they are in Japan but I hope they will be okay.
ReplyDeleteThe earthquake happened in Burma, I felt it, my room is on the fourth floor. I agree with Poy that anything can happen. We have to be conscious every minute of our life and life is short. If I want to do something, I will say to myself “just do it”.
All disasters are sad. Its actually a god's business. The only thing we can do is to help out as much as we can. Another way is to show your concerns. I've made up a play list collecting videos from YouTubes under the theme "pray for Japan"

I have never expected before how much the damage from the disasters have a great impact on human and our world. Back to the tsunami on Thailand, I was shocked about that event because I don’t know really about tsunami and its impact and I think these disasters are far from my life. But I have changed my thinking after that event and a lot of disasters today. I think that the disasters causing a large number of damages come closer and closer to my life. I don’t when will it happens to me. So, I have to be conscious and careful every minute.
