the year ends with a bang...

the year ends with a bang...
i guess by now, you've heard something about tsunamis hitting South Asia and killing like over 150,000 people and counting(and if not, where the hell have you been?). the sight of thousands of corpses is just so depressing not to mention scary. something about it speaks "annihilation of mankind" . imagine, thousands of lives lost just like that. and even almost entire villages destroyed and millions of lives were affected. this incident is just one, but how about the other tragedies, typhoons and flashfloods, that supposedly "darkened" the year?

then i realized how very selfish and shallow i was for fussing and moping about a bad haircut when all hell broke loose and made over 150 thousand people extinct. tsk tsk. with all the tragedies happening so untimely, we could only do so much as to hope that we could learn something from all of this and pray that this will be the last.

nature is not at our mercy. people are at the mercy of nature.
