scary thoughts. scary reality.
the news is filled with the tragedy that struck japan. and i can feel my heart breaking for the japanese. it's devastating. no one can say otherwise. earthquake, tsunami and nuclear plant breakdown (or whatever you call that.)
what the hell did the japanese do to deserve these? (if you believe in karma, that is.)
actually, the first thought that occurred to me when i heard this news was if my jpop idols were safe. yeah, somewhat wrong but i couldn't help it. i've been their fan since two, three years ago and just because i don't fangirl them anymore, doesn't mean i don't care. i wanted to know how they are but i didn't have any means of finding out. i was out of their fandom for more than a year already. >.<
good thing one of my friends came across a more or less reliable site that lists japanese artists who are safe. NEWS and KAT-TUN (does that include Jin?) are safe. although i felt worried for the other Johnnys boys.
anyway, that's not the point. because of these incidents, our country is now in a state where everyone is thinking if we would survive this kind of disaster. think about it. japan's a developed country. if i may say so, a highly developed one. and us?... you'd probably know we're part of what you would call third world countries (although that's a wrong term.)
if japan was able to prepare for these kinds of disasters but still suffered a huge loss, what about us? what would happen to us? we haven't experienced them and for sure, we don't know how to prepare for them. we have earthquake drills but for me, they were never put to use (which i thank God for.)
i feel like we're... doomed. O_____o
okay, negative thought. not good. BUT STILL. i know i have a point. it's scary how we're not ready for this. we're so close to japan and yet... our unprepared-ness? gahd. SO NOT GOOD.
the japanese are disclipined people. they were calm and thinking straight when disaster struck. that's why people survived. but us? the arrival of idols drive us crazy with excitement and overwhelm (okay, no connection, really. but i would say we're the type of fans who're masyadong sabik.), what about disasters? i sense that panic would arise. as in PANIC!!!!! which is not a good thing! because panicking won't really help us. it never did.
ah~ there's this feeling that somehow, we should have foreseen and prepared for this. but no. we didn't. we should just make out the most of what we could do now, after what we have seen and learned. not a comforting thought but i guess it has to do. i hope our government actually does something about this preparation. =.=
hmm... i want to help japan in some way. but idk how. maybe i should tell my parents to donate... food for thought?...
blargh. DDD:
