Japan just had a lot of typhoon damage, then this weekend we had earthquakes. I could feel it when I was drinking a cup of coffee at a cafe. I did not think it was such a big and serious one, then when I got home I was surprised to know how big it was. Disasters come in three? I really hope not.
TV show almost 24 hours news about it, I watched the news all day, and have to see people lost family, house, things they had. and people who had to spend the cold night without water or electricity.
Well since my sidebord has arrived, I planed to get this plants, Japanese name is Kuwazuimo (the meaning is "potato that we can not eat"). But I did not get it. I can not feel like to get new stuffs this weekend.
I hope disasters won't come in three too!
I was a bit worrying for my mail friends in Tokyo, but they said it's all ok.
When I heard about jishin I thought it was the Big One you're waiting for 70 years in Tokyo. But when i watched Tv i saw it has been very strong, but not the Big One... Maybe it has been the Big One for Niigata.
kanashii desu.

Hi Mari -- that's very sad, but I am relieved to know that you are safe.

yes, i also feel sad about the natural disasters in japan these days. small (and big) disasters anywhere in the world everyday. we need to go on of course and stay happy and positive but i understand when you say you didnt feel like buying anything today. doesn't it make those material things look sooooooooooooo unnecessary and trivial?
i am getting a new laptop and camera this coming week but i feel kind of depressed about it. i need it for work but still it makes me feel kind of down, i dont know.
peace from holland......
