What I Learned About Japan's Tragic

Friday last week, I am with my family to buy a replacement for a broken CPU, when I heard the news that we were asked to secure ourselves for the supposed tsunami that could happen here as an aftereffect of Japan's tragic incident. So we headed back home not knowing if its the best thing to do. For your information, we are living about 2km away from the shore.

A nervous-freak as I am, I try to convince my mother to evacuate. To no avail, she just assured me that we're fine here based on the advisory she would patiently listen to from her trusted phone's radio feature. So what I did was to grab a palm leaf from last year's Palm Sunday, light a candle from the Candelaria celebration last February, and prayed. I then packed some of my kids stuffs including their milk and nappies and waited for the clock to turn 7pm.

Anyway, we're ok.

But the moment I turned on the tube, pictures of Japan's tragedy hit me. Lives lost here and there. Families looking for their members. The massive destruction. Wrecked homes. Muddy streets.

And now,

There's the threat of radiation.



But from these events, I learned the following:

1. That in times of darkness, you will always find a hand who will hold you securely. God never abandons anyone. He will always send His angels to watch over us.


2. That while people in Japan fought for their lives, Libyans are killing theirs.



3. In the end, you will still go back to the place you call "home".


4. That Japanese are disciplined.



5. Miracles do happen.
