thanx to those who reached out to me in this time of crisis for my country and people
fortunately my immediate family and friends were far enough from the epicenter
but a few of my friends are still unable to get in touch with their loved ones
and the situation at the nuclear plant in Fukushima is still serious
please folks, in the last few days the news media (even the ones in Japan)
seems to grow more sensationalistic,
DON’T BELIEVE JUST WHATEVER YOU READ ONLINE
fear mongering does not help anyone
I’ve been watching NHK livefeed since last THU night, and I have to say I feel helpless
(English speakers can check out the NHK World livefeed)
seems like there not much that I personally can do to help at this point other than to donate money
(this afternoon CNN reported that Earthquake aid to Japan is at $23 million
- far less than Haiti
hopefully the number has changed since, but please do what you can)
I figure that I just have to carry on with my life right now and wait
till more things become clear
but it definitely gives me focus to HELP OTHERS
and there are things I can do to help the people I love
also, let’s not waste our time paying attention to stupid people,
be it some meatheads saying that this was a payback
or some fat chick making racial remarks
you paying attention to these maggots only encourages them to do more
REAL PROBLEMS are out there
