Remnants of Tsunami

Today I realized how fast as snap can people's lives go. Last Friday, Twitter was flooded with messages about the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in Japan. In a split second, a Tsunami was reportedly approaching onshore. As I watched it, it was like a movie special effects, like 2012.

Wrecked ships, cars and houses were washed over the street. More prefects were destroyed instantly, the center of the magnitude was near Sendai and you can just imagine how intense fear they experienced. Some prefects like Tokyo were also greatly affected. Death toll continues to rise up until today.

After the Tsunami in Japan(March 11, 2010-Friday) some nearby countries like ours were alerted to prepare for earthquake and tsunamis since we lie on the pacific ring of fire. I wonder if it did ever happened to the Philippines, are we prepared? Are we equipped like the first world country like Japan? Japan was used to earthquakes but they weren't prepared to as big as this. Buildings are earthquake proof but not tsunami proof said the expert in CNN. Nuclear melt-down after Tsunami's after earthquake is too much. Thousands are confirmed dead and or missing, and those who survived said they are not even sure if it was right to survive. They were thinking how can they begin, how can they re-build the city and bring back their lives to normal? The entire place looks like a dump site.

One thing is for sure, they are capable of facing challenges like these. They solve chaos with dignity, they grieve but not too long because they strive to spend most of their time, energy and effort to do what they must battling the time searching to put back the pieces altogether.

Amidst all these, people not only in Japan learned lessons in life, be strong, have faith, protect life, move forward...
