earthquake in japan personal recap



Yesterday @ this time i didnt know anything about the earthquake. I didnt find out till 1:40 am. By the time my boyfriend came home from work he told me to change the channel to the news because a big 8.9 earthquake had hit Japan & that some aftershocks were causing tsunamis & the waves could even reach Cali, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, & Mexico. The waves were 33 feet tall & 12 hours after the first earthquake hit the streets were stopped as if time stood still & in 6 hours the cars had only moved 6 miles. Japanese friends here are really scared & shocked & wonder how there family is doing in Japan. But right now the only way you can communicate is by skype, Facebook & twitter or even google "people finder". @ 2am twitter's most talked about subject was #tsunami :(
This to me was a big shock, watching the images play through & just seeing how the water was running throught the agricultural plains. O EM G! i thought to myself. This looks so crazy, so computerized, it is just so crazy! it takes so much for the water to run through & take everything that is in its way.
The earthquake lasted a couple of minutes and happened @ 2:39pm Japanese time. its crazy to think that alot of the japanese people need & depend on taking the subway to their destinations & since power is down, and phone lines are crammed up, they need to walk miles to the different locations they need to be in order to reunite with their kids, spouses, family and friends.
Thankfully alot of Japan's infrastructures since 1980 have needed to meet a construction code so they can be built & be safe in these kinds of situations. Thankfully Japan didnt end in ruins like Haiti. But rebuilding this city & making sure everything goes back to how it was the day of march 10th,2011 @ 2:38pm will take a pretty long time. United States forces are already there and will be helping the Japanese in whatever they may need & the LA search & rescue team is in Pacoima,CA right now packing & making sure that they have everything ready @ hand so they can leave ASAP.
I was terrified that the waves would reach Cali, that today in the morning I would wake up & find my floor wet with a foot or 2 of water. I thanked God that it wasnt that way today when i stepped outside. my mind last night was worrying but I decided to pray and made sure I very well sent my good vibe to the Japanese people so they can be strong & united to overcome this natural disaster. I hope we can all pray for them to get over this soon & send them alot of strength & love through our prayers.

family

Sometimes family gets on your nerves &&& can get you to pull your hair out. But sometimes friends become more than family, because they support you through thick &&& thin. Even though family will love you unconditionally, they will turn there back on you. Also friends understand that what you are doing sometimes is a mistake but they will guide you if possible to change your mind because they care. But if you do decide to keep going on w/ your decision, then they'll be behind you even though they dnt agree.

But.....you have to love them (family/friends) through anything. You have to be patient &&& understanding, not self-interested, caring &&& respectful too. To me my family is everything &&& especially now that my family is being teared apart by measures that I don't understand &&& or wish for anyone to go through.

Yet @ the end of the day problems are erased @ least through my mind &&& what ever happened, happened. Yes, it might have hurt but life goes on. I became a better person living through that mistake &&& well i thank whoever was there for being there &&& getting me to learn even if it was the wrong way or a way that i just didnt want to do it, but it got me out of my box &&& made me a tougher person to deal w/ things that life swings @ me.

Also i enjoy bringing my friends &&& family closer to me &&& making them feel welcomed into my house because that is how i am. &&& w/ my bf now, hes welcomed anywhere i go because i need him to feel like a part of the family because he will be w/ me for the rest of each others life :D

a muh zing moments in life

God never seizes to amaze even the strongest of his believers. I personally believe in God, trust in God &&& know that God is good all the time.

But today was an extraordinary day....why? Because a really good friend of mine had that feeling that something wasn't right w/ me &&& well she called me &&& knew immediately that something wasn't right. So she came to my rescue. Even though I didn't ask for her help, she knew inside me I was yelling for help.

So she came over &&& tried talking to me....really while she was talking i was a whole nother person &&& i could hear her but i wasnt listening. We left my house to speak somewhere less comfortable &&& while @ jamba juice, she was telling me some things i wanted to say "yes your right!"....but something wasnt letting me. I was trapped in my own body &&& that feeling is something i dnt ever want to feel again. I had a blank look on my face &&& i knew i wanted to tell her "yes please help me" but i couldnt. &&& then it hit me it was one sentence that made me change how i was acting. "Let him understand it'll be done, if he doesnt respect your decision" wow i then shook my head &&& cried, i reached over to my friend cried &&& felt loose. Wow it was a really good feeling ! Because my body had just felt like it was in a trance &&& that feeling is no one i ever wish to have.

Thankfully my friend kept talking to me about God &&& reading verses to me out of the bible &&& i think all that helped cut the chains of my life free. I do trust in God, i think i just need to show that more often to him in actions.

Getting home i didnt know how i was going to tell my bf about what i needes to do. So i called him right up &&& decided to tell him what i think we really should do &&& told me "yeah, i think the same thing &&& there is no worry or rush".

Wow was that a relief! I had just had anxiety attacks the whole afternoon &&& that was because i felt i was getting pushed into something i did want but not @ that vey moment. So now me &&& my bf are on the same page &&& are deciding our future @ this precise moment.

I l o v e God &&& thank him for everyday of learning different ways; of doing things, thinking &&& acting.

So now that God has made my day wonderful &&& i feel like a new person, i sure hope my mom is wholeheartartely genuine w/ eric that way we can keep on moving our life forward &&& enjoy it down the road
