Is It The End of the World?

My officemates and I have been joking about the effect of the recent calamities that hit Japan and even some parts of the world.  We were already planning of doing some things that we were not able to do ever in  our own respective lives and/or indulge in things that we having been hopelessly depriving ourselves of  (e.g., food, shopping, and... and sex included! lol!).  Well, trying to lighten up may be our way of coping with the anxiety and fear of what is happening around us.

But seriously speaking, just thinking about the possibility that the world is already ending makes me ponder about life... and death, as well.  Death is so scary, and so certain..  I hope it won't be too soon.. I still want to enjoy life with my loved ones...

Hence, not to soon... Please...

Tsunami Scare

BE ON ALERT FOR UNUSUAL WAVES - This was the advisory issued by National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council at around 3 o'clock this afternoon.  This was after Japan was struck by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake and thereafter hit by a 4-meter tsunami.  The coastlines of around nineteen (19) provinces (including Surigao) facing the Pacific Ocean are currently under watch especially between 5pm to 7pm tonight.

Although Metro Manila is not listed among those provinces mentioned, my officemates still counted the possibility that something bad might also happen here knowing that we are just a few kilometers away from Manila Bay.

Accordingly, employees of GSIS, which is located at the reclamation area, were advised to go home early.  Hmm.. I just wish I could go home early too...
