6.3 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE IN CHRISTCHURCH

FEBRUARY 22, 2011

A big earthquake struck Christchurch in the wildest devastation no one could ever imagine. It rocked the city just in the middle of the day at 12.51 pm where most of the people were outside the city and inside their respective place of work or study. Unlike last year's earthquake, it had been multiple fatalities making Christchurch the last place to live in. CTV Building was highly affected where 9/11 Filipino Nurses studying English trapped inside. Numerous people, foreigners, young, old and innocent babies suffered in this disaster.

I'm very thankful because I was in the safe place that time. I'm deep asleep and the shake woke me up. It gives me goosebumps everytime I think of the last time I was in the city which was a day before the quake. Hey, it's like yesterday when I had a coffee with June in the middle of the city where all the buildings surrounding us! Terrifying indeed considering the fact that I usually go to city every after lunch or whenever I feel like going to the library or maybe have a drink of coffee and roam around the city. Unbelievable knowing that Christchurch will never be the same again. Heritage buildings were devastated and even the Cathedral destroyed into undefined broken structure. I feel for the people who lost their lives helplessly.

Feeling so helpless is what I felt upon realizing how much damage not only in the properties but mostly to people whose lives were taken away with much suffering.. As for me, I wanted to move out from this place but my mind was shaken with the reality that it isn't easy to rush on things. It can be easy to decide whether to leave or not but the main point is what life's waiting for me if I transferred to a different unfamiliar place. I'm playing stupid if I do so. Glory already moved out from this house with her own personal reasons and flew to Auckland couple of days ago. I'm officially occupying my room alone. New start, new beginning of living on my own. Trying to be brave after all these disasters and dramas along the way. Be strong for yourself, Geralyn. Pray Hard.

2011

2 months have already passed by, i bet i'm too late to say happy new year folks. Anyway it isn't about the year that has been, this is about the new year to fill in for 365 days. I like thinking about possibilities and chances which might occur this year..I had enough of the dramas, pitfalls, and stressful instances. I'm not an idiot to expect a perfect life however I can somehow do something to control my emotions and start being calm and relax.

A new life far from what I used to have last year characterized by hardship and failure. Don't get me wrong. It's sort of exaggerated in some way but most of my days are not that good to be told. The start of was good. Perfect way to start the year indeed. I'll share some photos of the most significant events so far this year.. Let's Start with JANUARY.
