Massive natural disaster hits all across the country!

Already 24 hours passed after the incident, but the aftermath of this natural disaster seems unlikely to cease completely.
Some mass transit is still disrupted, so still a lots of commuters left behind and they can't go home and got to evacuate for awhile...so I'm pretty much luckier!

Yesterday at 2:46 PM in local time...the incident was occurred off the coast of Miyagi prefecture (Northern East Japan), which is around 400km away from Tokyo.
But Tokyo was also jolted an awful lot.

At that time, I was attending some seminar regarding my expecting job. And we were all stunned and stranded at the sight for hours.
Still the aftermath of the disaster seems unlikely to stop in no time, and now it continues...

Many areas in Tohoku (Northern East Japan) region became ruined like ghost towns and stuff. Many people and houses washed away being hit by Tsunami because of massive earthquake, which magnitude was 9.0. It is the second to which hit off the coast of Sumatra in 2004. Yet it is the biggest one in domestic earthquake as ever observed since the survey was began.

About radiation, there was an explosion at one of the power plant in Fukushima Area, and totally 19 of citizens exposed to radiation. But luckily enough, none of them was seriously damaged, according to NHK's broadcast!

Now the casualties are estimated up to more than 1,000 across the country...and over 10,000 of people are still missing. Or at least tens of thousands of people those who live near the epicenter of the earthquake are forced to evacuate their homes. They ended up staying some shelters nearby till it is reconstructed.

Not so long ago, remember there also was a calamity in Christchurch New Zealand, where 28 of our fellows were buried under the ground, and 6 people were already found dead???
The ensuing panic inside the country at this time made us totally disoriented!!

So our government sought for aid to respective countries like our alliance, United States. And it is grateful to us that some countries like USA, South Korea, Australia, Singapore, or even the stricken district New Zealand has given their name to help us out, such as food & water supply.

Now our concerns are that there might be blackout tonight, just because of power shortage, says the Tokyo Electric Power Company.

Again, the aftermath of big earthquake as well as Tsunami, or fire-flame at some area in Tohoku region seems unlikely to cease completely. It is still jolted at times even a day passed...

2011 has come!!




Viewers, A Happy New Year!



2011 already came in, and all of you folks must have a bunch of wishes or resolutions which you haven't accomplished last year.

I also have a lot more things to be settled and I do want to change for the better.
It's easy to say but hard to act as you already know, but why not try a little harder by all means in 2011???

Okay, enjoy your 2011, folks !

Wishing You A Happy New Year !


So only a couple of days left before the upcoming 2011.
Still, the world economy is so bleak with the high unemployment rate, and some people are on the verge of being suicidal due to despair against their lives which seems so relentless.

Having no income for almost 2 years, and owing to the weakening foreign currencies such as USD or Euro, my savings have also been plummeted over the years, and are getting drained day by day.

No matter what it would be, I need to secure the job at all costs before my money is running out of course though I still have some more bucks to make ends meet.

Hope the global economic downturn will soon be recovered, and approximately 3.3 millions of people across the country who are out of work will soon make a fresh start as of 2011.

And I wish you A Happy New Year!

Maybe I've got to speculate more on this issue before the date changes...

Now it’s already 11PM, less than an hour left before 16th, and I’ve thought that I should speculate more on the issue that I didn’t refer to some SNS before the date changes.

Still today is Aug 15, and what can it be harbored by remembering the date I submitted??
Maybe different people have different thoughts individually. It also depends on each generation or each race, or sex…not the same at all. Rather it should be regarded as quite different in each country.
   
Like it or not, and some people may fall on deaf ears since the topic seems no picnic to handle it. What makes me tantalize the core of the matter is that it is very controversy issue to bring up, thus I didn’t mention much about it on some SNS I’ve been mingling with. But I would like you to remember the date of Aug 15 for those who coincided to visit my weblog anyhow. It is exactly the memorial date of which the World War Ⅱ ended, which was as far back as 1945 on the same day.


Imagine that you were born before the World War Ⅱis taken place, maybe back in 1930s or 40s, and your life supposedly been exposed in such historical upheaval. Your life might not have been guaranteed up to the present, who knows? Or your life expectancy might have shorten up just because of the unexpected tragedy which you cannot take controls. .

How lucky we are being skirted around such tragedy just because of the later birth which was after the World War Ⅱ!
And also we take peace and safety for granted that we’ve never thought of such calamity on the daily basis, what do you think?

I’m also one of those generations who have never encountered such tragic war, and it may sound too audacious to speculate that stuff in the eyes of our predecessors as well.

As far as I am concerned, my grandparent’s generation (Born in 1900s-1910s), and also my parent’s generation (Born in 1930s-1940s) must have gone through hard times over the periods. Especially I hear my grandpa was sent into troops, while the rest of his family (My grandma, dad, uncle, aunt) fled to the countryside for safety during the war. 

And after the series of air raid, most of our town (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya...etc) turned into burnt-out ruins in a brief moment. 
The worst has come to worst in Aug 6 in Hiroshima, 9th in Nagasaki, where 2 atomic bombs were thrown down to the heart of the city. It is said that at least 250 thousands people were killed in both cities, and they were completely ruined. 

And to make matters worse, there are still a lot of victims who suffer from aftereffect of atomic bombs up to the present, which means damages have ranged up to 3 or 4 generations. So you can easily imagine how threatening the atomic bomb is! 
Even after 65 years passed, there are still a lot of victims who suffer from aftereffect. And as a last resort, they filed the lawsuit against their government to compensate their loss. 
Consequently, some are settled, and some are unsettled.

Nevertheless, there are many countries that still have nuclear weapons, and the development of those nuclear weapons is still under way in some countries as you may know. 
Namely US, China, UK, France, Russia, India, Pakistan, Iran, and the notorious North Korea, which also puzzles us over Japanese abductees over 30 years or longer, and etc…must abolish nuclear weapons across the board.

The fact is today is the day we should pay a tribute to the memory of deceased who had unfortunately passed away by involving this war. Also we must pledge ourselves not to wage war again for the sake of nation's permanent peace. Maybe this is the common sense for people all around the world regardless of your age, nationality…etc.

So please just bear it in your mind that this is the historical fact and you should harbor something in your mind no matter what. Wherever you are and how you spend your day …make sure to remind the date of Aug 15. And to say nothing of, I’m not a hypocrite, but I think it’s our obligation to remember the war dead in every Aug 15. 
That’s what I wanted to say in my utmost…
Well, thank you all to get all the way through my updates regarding this issue.

Just a single blow…but totally pissed off!!


Well, in recent days I’ve totally disoriented just because of a series of setbacks, besides my head is likely to melt down coz it is extremely hot & sticky out here in these days, which marked the highest temp ever the past few years.


Indeed, this relentless weather entirely wears me off, takes everything away, my sleep, exercises, which are walking & work out, even makes me feel reluctant to head out for mom’s hospital periodically. Last time I met her was in July 7, and my fatigue has accumulated as a result of vicious circle of debauched life style. It does prompt my sleep disorder, and ended up getting lax in my life even after the World Cup aftermath had completely subsided.

To put it more specific, I can only sleep 1-2 hours at night, and waking up at least for 4-5 hours or longer after that, and then sleep again around extra 4-5 hours in the afternoon if I can afford it…So the afternoon’s rest should be my tight sleep. Which is totally opposite from the bulk of people, and it is not just a nap. But sometimes I can only sleep extra 2-3 hours just like today when it is extremely hot, even in the environment where the air-conditioner is equipped with. Still I sweat it out while sleeping at times even though the living room is air-conditioned, and that’s the mystery.  

So I sometimes feel sorry for my mom, just because of leaving her alone at the hospital for awhile, and no one but I visit her sometimes, but should it not be enough, I know.

Well…it’s high time for me to take you into my confidence, which is about my mom’s status.
Currently she has developed Schizophrenia, whose primary symptoms are hallucination or delusion, especially paranoia, which is similar to manic depressive disorders, but not equal. For detailed explanations, have a look at the link;   

To be honest, what triggered her to develop this disease is yet to be found out even doc still cannot pinpoint the primary cause of it.
Actually we tried a series of treatment for her from her first hospitalization in Nov 2006. In the past, she did recover her illness and was able to check out and stayed home several times for a period of times before her current hospitalization as of Aug 2008, but after a series of setbacks, she is getting senile and she has also developed Parkinson's syndrome as a complication just because of side effects on medical treatment.

In conclusion, I must admit the odds are against her illness from the recovery, which means hardly to recover, she may stay in the hospital until she passes away, who knows??
So I told one of my friends the other day that it seems at the end of my tether on how to tackle the issue…Indeed, I’m in the deadlock at the moment.

Also I need to find my job as soon as possible however I also have some health problems as you may know, which hinders my job hunting.
So far, I can barely make ends meet, which I still have around $50,000 or more for my savings including foreign currencies, but before running out, I have to secure a job of course. Or at least things get better, I’ll apply for my new job as I’ve been such long at loose ends no matter what ― which is nearly 18 months ― just as my uncle feel anxious about.

Seems I referred to a sanctuary which I never mention on FB…so that should be enough.


And lastly…it is just a single blow though what got me totally pissed off was the sudden incidents occurred in the morning, when I was logging on Facebook, I’ve found that the number of my friends was diminished, which was 41 to 40. Soon I’ve figured out who the hell removed me from his friends list, but it was hard to believe at first when I tracked down the culprit, one of my close friends, but precisely it was a long time ago, now we’re just acquaintances…so it was not that severe impact since our relations are fading away after many twists and turns that we both had to go through.

Anyway, slow and steady wins the race…never rush but keep steady going seems the best bet!
Thanks for taking your time to read them all!
