The year 2010, on its very first quarter, there are many horrendous calamities happened. Some are minor, some as major and some are extraordinary. January 11th of this year, I was having a beautiful start of my day, eating my breakfast when I turned into CNN and I was shocked on what happened. Haiti suffered a 7.0-magnitude earthquake and I thought of that day that Haiti had only approximately two to four million living around the said country and then, after a week of retrieval operations, thousands were injured and they estimated that the fatalities will be on the rise at about 200,000 dead bodies. Imagine, that's a great loss to the population in Haiti plus the fact that their buildings aren't high standard just like in Japan which is an eathquake-prone country and no buildings will collpased due to their modern technology of enhancement of buildings in the said developed country, unlike Haiti who is part of the "Third World" like our country used to be. I was devasted on what happened yet people still rejoicing for hope that they would raise their hands to the Lord and do a lot of singing in downtown Port-au-Prince. It was truly tragic and devastating seeing videos of miraculous rescues and this video says it all.It was an awful New Year to all Haitians and the whole wide world was making pledges and they were helping those poor Haitians who are trapped, desperate for food, water, shelter, clothing, health assistances, et cetera.
I had the worst breakfast ever when that day passed by because of that earthquake. I watched CNN, BBC and local television stations in my country just to know the up-todate happenings in Haiti. It was getting worse and worse as days comes by as death toll rose.
Now, I went to the local mall yesterday with my sister and my mother, without my father due to his lame actions, texting on her textmate buddies or her chicks on text to be infact. We had a great time together but while we were doing that, there are people screaming and calling for help in downtown Santiago in Chile, in South America. An 8.8-magnitude earthquake strucked Chile yesterday at 3:34 a.m., their local time, I estimate that's (GMT -9). So, it's 16 hours late in our time. Actually, the epicenter is in Maule, it is near the capital Santiago. Oh men, there were 78 people killed when I watched it yesterday, now it rises to 250+ and I wonder how many dead bodies will belong to that list in the coming days? Unlike the earthquake in Haiti, their buildings are stronger and they have more GDP than Haiti so, Chile can assist their countrymen even without international aid.
If you can see these images right here, you will see the devastation and drought by the power of natural calamity. It's like a calling why we aren't taking care of the environment. It's also a calling that we are near to obtain "Global Cataclysm".
And just today, the Hawaii Meteorology Station declared a massive tsunami warning to the nations who are part of the "Ring of Fire", which are the west coast of North and South America, Japan, east coast of Russia, Taiwan, east coast of China, Indonesia, east coast of Australia, Indochina and yes, even, my country, the Philippines. Japan will mostly affect the tsunami alert and I saw it on CNN earlier where all of the red spots are on Japan and Russia, we only obtain the orange spots which is the Level two warning.
The outcome was so good to hear. Gladly, Japan had a small tsunami, and so as Russia, and the Philippines is also safe from the tsunami. We are prepared.
Natural calamities way back from last decade is still contusing up to this year and it might be a possible that we might end at the year 2012 where the "Global Cataclysm" might occur. Hope this will NOT happen.
