I pray for the nippon-jin.
Watched the news yesterday, it was like something out from the movie 2012. Imagine the fear and despair of the people there. Even to a observer, it looked terifying and horrible. The world, as we have known it, will come to an end soon. Little by little, of maybe in larger proportions, life will be wiped out.
And here we are, living our normal lives. I woke up today thinking, damn, isn't it so nice to be sleeping in for a change. Then mum had to come in the room and asked me if I wanted to go. No, I thought, let me sleep, I wanna sleep. I don't wanna go out, I have lots of homework to finish, I have tuition later, the ballet, then tomorrow I'll be in church the whole day, and then on Monday I'll arrive in school with loads of unfinished homework and get into loads of trouble. I ate a miserable breakfast, thinking, dammit I'll have to start on my homework soon what a way to spend my weekend, I never get to do anything fun, and can I risk going facebook for a while, and would I have time to finish my homework later?
AND THEN, it suddenly occured to me that it is a school holiday week. Amidst all the hectic schedule and chaos in the past two weeks, I forgot.
