Day 87 (Earthquake in Northern Japan) - Saturday, June 14, 2008
Day 87 - Earthquake in Northern Japan
Left my friend's apartment with the other ALTs about 6:45 am then I went to the conbini (Convenience store) to get some breakfast... I went to sleep at about 7:15 am after eating my breakfast then got up back at about 3:30 pm... Wow the life, go to bed anytime, wake up anytime... In Jamaica, I'm almost 100% sure that I would have some meeting or performance or something else to attend. That has been happening to me since January 2003 where almost every Saturday in Jamaica, I had a meeting or something. I am finally getting some time for myself now, which I am enjoying for the most part, as much as I miss my family and friends back at home... I am guessing that this is God's way of saying, "Bredrin, you need to rest yuh self sometime"
So after I got up at 3:30 pm, then my usual Saturday routine begins... Read my Bible, and watch one whole heap of Naruto, Japanese Animation Cartoons... And K, I cannot believe that you spent 1 weekend watching Naruto and Bleach... :) After I watch about 7 of them, I will start to fall asleep.
Today when I checked my facebook messages, I saw where my friend was sending out prayer for me, because there was a BIG earthquake in Northern Japan, and they not hearing anything from me... I had no clue about this until I saw the message on facebook. I am in southwestern Japan and where I am doesn't experience earthquakes frequently Thank God.... I hope that I don't feel any at all.

Some of my friends are so clueless to the whole Japan/China difference... I remember when there was the Big China Earthquake last month or so, and my friend asking me if I am ok...
My mother bad and not so bad; when she heard the news about the stabbing in Tokyo, she called me same time and ask me if I'm alright... People!!! I live about 12 hours away from Tokyo in the country part of a prefecture that is not even popular... The closest BIG city to me is Osaka, which is about 3 hours away by bus... Many of my other friends think that the Japanese language has the Chung, yung, ching chang sounds... Those sounds are very Chinese... The Japanese Language has no such sounds, but instead has a whole lot of Mashta, deshta, ka, wa and mas sounds.... The spellings wrong but that's how they are pronounced... Like mashta is really spelled Mashita and Mas is spelled Masu, The "I" and the "U" are silent respectively. Right Stewart???
Any way later... And again, yes everybody, I am ok... The earthquake was far away from me...
