    I'm still terribly heartbroken and stunned. Seeing those faces, it seems it would be so unfair to even gush I'm alive. And you see, things like these, you have no control of, which makes it all the more depressing. Isnt it a little ironic, that there are people who dont believe there is Someone Up There and then blames God when things like these happen? :(

i was shaken when i read the news at inq7.net at the start of my shift. i said "God this is so near us (Philippines) thank You for sparing us." it saddens me that it had to happen the day after His birthday and the countries affected are Muslim countries those who do not believe in Jesus. but nevertheless, they still need prayers.
