HUgs...I hope you are managing the scary parts ok. Much, much love!

[ditch_gospel]

Oh, no worries! It was a bit of a shock, tough it only lasted less that a minute.
Today I went to search out the job help office. I didn't go in, but at least now I know where it is and I can find it easy as soon as I'm ready to start job hunting. ^_^

*hugs*

[i_am_zan]

*more hugs* and ganbatte on the job front!

I hope you're managing to find other things you can eat too! DO take care of yourself. OK!

*hugs some more*

I bought BREAD, and TOMATOES at the grocery store! Tomatoe sandwhiches! Ah, BLISS!! ^__^

Although I'm a bit worried cause I can't read the ingredients on the bread...

*hugs and holds on tight*

You okay? ♥

[ditch_gospel]

Oh, yeah, it was nothing really, it's just a bit freaky when the house starts shaking! Kowaii~~!!! *_*

I expect I'll have to get used to it. Hey, do you get quakes at all?

[befanini]

I totally understand. Even someone like me who's experienced lots of quakes gets freaked out when one does happen! O_O

The latest ones were around a month ago, I think. Intensity 3 or something. Lasted 30-40 seconds.

The biggest quake I experienced was almost 15 years ago, intensity 7.8.

But I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, most buildings in Japan are designed to withstand quakes. Something about incorporating springs in the post foundations, or something. So the structure sways with the movement. ^^; Sorry engineer in me got carried away. XD

[ditch_gospel]

Hm, I'm not really worried, even though Tokyo is still waiitng for "the Big One". ^^

Engineer? What do you do, anyway? nevermind me, I'm just getting nosy...

*laughs*

"And his wife was just doing normal stuff like nothing was going on"

Yeah, I can see me being like that. ^^

The packagae, the package! *squee* I was also so happy when she said she did include my name on the card. I thought I missed out! ^__^

*fingers and toes crossed that he receives it*

Oh...I remember those. *shudders at the memory* Flung me off the chair once, but then again I must have been about six or seven-ish. But they used to really scare the hell out of me because our apartment was on the 15th floor. ^^; Hope it wasn't a bad one.

[ditch_gospel]

Oh no! Chibi Laily getting flung from her chair is not good!

It was only a brief and minor one, thank goodness. I think I would be a bit leary of living/working in a multi-storied building, though. And then what happens if you happen to be undergound riding the subway? *__*

[ijpyu]

Oh, wow! o_o That's so odd. There was an earthquake here too, but just a minor 4.2...

*snuggles* Congrats ony your first earthquake experience? ^^ *huggle* Stay safe!

[ditch_gospel]

You had one too? *checks profile to see where you live*

Oh! California! Okay then. ^_^ So I guess you're way more used to them than I am!
