I wish I had happier words to post about, but the truth is, I've been in depression since March.
Some days are better than others.
I thought that with time, things would resolve itself or that I'd find the answer, but it only gets heavier.
But just wanted to apologize for the lack of response or updates.
The only thing I do know is that I still have a lot to learn about life...and so it continues.

Sorry it's been quiet here and I haven't posted lately.
I took a trip to Sapporo over Golden Week. I drank way too much.
Now, I'm trying to get back into the mode for school. There's so much going on in my life - just don't really feel like blogging much about it for now.
I'll update about my trip and all the stuff leading up til now some time later... I hope.

This morning, I was just thinking to myself (after having been told that I should know how to properly ask for a seat when there are none available - in which I did and asked for the closest one available but was told that I should have asked for some other areas....*shakes head and sigh*) about the earthquake situation.
California is in a pretty earthquake prone area. When I was younger, I had experienced the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. That earthquake lasted about 10-15 seconds and was registered 6.9 on the Richter scale. At that time, I thought that that was the scariest thing that I had ever experienced. My brother and I were home when the quake struck. Electricity and phone lines had gone out and at that time, cellphones nor pagers weren't that prevalent (mostly people had it for work). Fires were going on and part of the Bay Bridge had collapsed.
Fortunately, my relatives lived nearby so they came to meet us about an hour later and then we went to their place. Schools were canceled the next day. Either way, up until this day, I used to tell people how awful the '89 earthquake was and all the terrible things that happened.
That was until this past earthquake on March 11. It lasted way beyond the 10-15 seconds of the Loma Prieta quake. In fact, it's been said to have been as long as 5 minutes due to the continuous chain, but the initial one itself was at least 2-3 minutes. It seriously did feel that long.
Yet the thing that surprises me still is how many aftershocks we've experienced. There are still times that I can't tell if it's me shaking or the ground. On some pages, I've read that there have been over 600 aftershocks and at least over a dozen of them have registered over 5.0 on the Richter scale. I guess you get used to the ground rocking eventually, but just the fact that it's been going on so long, every so often, I pause and wonder if it's me or not.
Anyway, just had that going through my mind during breakfast today. *sigh*
