Hello everyone. Sorry for having waited awhile to make another world post...there have been QUITE a few things going on lately for the past week and well yeah..I just...there's so much I want to say but I just can't for some reason...
And for all of you guys that are still sticking with me after all of this time of me being away, thank you SO SO much! >.< I know like 3 people unsubbed me so yeah OTL. I've really been trying to not be negligent of this site and work on art but even for like DA it's still been incredibly HARD to make time for art T__T But anyways...
The earthquake in Japan...not only are there so many people suffering but as you all know, I have family there.
And the reason I haven't really been posting was because I was waiting to hear from them and thank goodness... at 5am this morning I got a call from them saying they were alright. And they reminded me that they have been in Korea since around the time my dad came back so they could see him thank goodness....(I totally forgot because I've been so busy up until yesterday night... and as you all know I'm much more in touch with my Korean side because some of my cousins live in Korea despite being Japanese, but anyway). The tsunami thank goodness shouldn't be affecting Korea so much if at all.
I was just SO SO relieved. But I can't imagine the devastation they'll be coming back to when they return in April. They might not even head back at this point due to the nuclear spill but nonetheless, I'm just glad they are alright. One of my cousins was crying over the phone and that just made me want to cry too...
The good news is that I'll probably finally be able to meet them when I go over to Korea in spring break..but the bad news is that Japan is absolutely devastated right now and amidst all of that their homes and other people's homes have more than likely been caught in it...
I feel relatively alright and have been feeling happy somewhat because I'm SO lucky they just happened to be in Korea visiting my dad at this time, but their homes and the feeling of not knowing they were okay..oh my goodness it was absolutely heart-wrenching.
*calming down* In any case, this week has been probably my hardest week ever in my 4 years of high school, I'm not gonna lie. I had to pull 3 all-nighters almost(2-3 hours of sleep for the first 4 days of this week due to Music and English internal assessments, aka HUGE exams where you are being recorded that go towards getting your diploma) and we also had a death of a girl at my school happen on Tuesday. It was REALLY REALLY sudden, for she was only hospitalized for 24 hours before she passed due to some kind of heart failure or blood clot in her heart...but yeah if you want to know about her, her name is Sarah Michelle Landauer and she knew SO many of my friends. I didn't know her personally, but a lot of my friends did and I just wanted to be there to hug and support someone then. It was REALLY hard to concentrate for my exams on that day.
I also have been doing shows for Mulan. The first two were cancelled due to Sarah's death affecting so many but on Thursday we dedicated our performance to her, and yesterday we had a show once again. Tonight is my final show(it's closing night). So I'll be thinking of all of those in Japan and dedicate my performance in this show to them.
I know how EXTREMELY lucky I am to have had my family be visiting my dad at exactly this time oh my goodness..but please pray for those that have lost their lives, families and homes as well as much more in this disaster.
Take care everyone~ stay safe!
