We just had an earthquake hitting Mexico I freaked out a bit, because I had just gotten home, and was greeting my dog, and then suddenly, everything in my room moves!! I've been in worse earthquakes, and I know the procedures, but still, I was very nervous... Thankfully, nothing happened here, but from what I'm hearing, the center was in Guerrero/Oaxaca - there still isn't much information, but seems like some areas are affected. I really hope it wasn't very bad!

I have to confess, ever since Japan's Great Tohoku earthquake, I'm scared that any of this earthquakes might become as huge as that one! And right now, I was very scared, because my family is right now all over the place, and it was only me and Bobby-dog in the house! Worse than a catastrophe, I think, is a catastrophe when you are by yourself and you have no idea of what might have happened to your family! Feeling that for a second is very scary, now think about how it must be when it's not a thought, and it actually happens!

Now, I already unlocked and opened the backdoor, to my backyard, since that's the safest place to go during an earthquake here in my house. It's rather a bit slow to open the backdoor, so, during the actual quake, I used the front door, but that leads to stairs, which is not safe! My first thought was going to the street - it's not dangerous, because I live in the suburbs - but when I opened the door, I realized everything looked the same as always in my street.

In 2009, during the Cinchona earthquake in Costa Rica, it was much stronger than today! We were in the kitchen, when everything started to move. We went to the garage, and all the neighbors were getting out of the house as well! Everyone was scared - Costa Rica is used to temblors, but this one was definitely stronger! After a few minutes, and checking out that everyone was ok, we entered the house, and turned on the TV to see what was going on. The sector of Cinchona, a town in-between mountains, not very far from my town, was hit by an earthquake. There, the house actually cracked, and the whole town assembled together. The roads to Cinchona were covered by huge landslides. There was only one TV van around the area, as they were reporting something else, and they found their way to Cinchona before the helicopters got there. We were all scared, watching how the persons up there were doing. Suddenly, everyone in the TV scene starts screaming, and a few seconds later, we freaked out as well. The replicas had started. Everyone in the metropolitan area and the surroundings was sent home. We kept having replicas all day long, so, we did not really do much on that day, and my sisters and I stayed together for the rest of the day. I only went quickly to my room, to get my computer and a few things I might need, and then I did not go up in a while! My room was on the third floor, and not only that, but the stairs to get there are rather cool and futuristic, but not safe at all, and they are impossible to run down during an emergency. I slept in my sister's room for a couple of months, since we had replicas - some of them very strong, and in the middle of the night - for about two months!

I never wrote much about this, because I did not want to freak out my friends abroad. I actually did not use the social networks much during those days. And I was a bit sad and disappointed, because the earthquake did not make news anywhere. We are a small country, and it hit a very small area, with not a lot of population, so, the people that passed away during the quake did not reach more than two digit numbers, yet, it was a great devastation for my country. We did receive international help, of course, it's not like we are completely forgotten! Furthermore, we got to help out making kits to send up to the mountains, since international organizations had sent products, and they needed local help! But there are areas that have never been the same, roads that completely disappeared of the map! Like La Paz waterfall, a beautiful, natural waterfall that was close to a main road! You could go there for free, and walk behind it, and there were always ambulant sellers nearby, with cute souvenirs. That waterfall, as it was, doesn't exist anymore, nor the road, nor the sellers.

Oh gosh, I just received a call from Costa Rica! We have a friend over right now, and her husband was calling to see if everything was alright! I feel so bad, I should have let them know! You know, she and my mom were on the road, they went shopping, and they didn't even notice! But I've been seeing in Twitter that the whole world is talking about it! Well, of course, when the whole city felt the quake, and we all tweeted about it, we created several Worldwide Trending Topics, but from what I read, there have been no casualties reported, only damages and people hurt, specially in the area where the quake took place. I feel so bad for our friend, he sounded really freaked out!

Anyways... I recalled a lot of this things today!
Actually, something weird happened today as well, as I was coming home from school, and I was so happy I was home XD But I'll talk about it later, on a more private post ^^''

I like SS501, they're probably my second favourite K-Pop band... but I don't listen to much K-Pop, as many of you know! Just them, and F.T.Island XD And old songs from SE7EN and Rain!

I don't watch many K-Dramas either, because they're freakin' too long! But I did watch Playful Kiss, which made me completely fall for Kim Hyun Joong!

So, I haven't really read/hear/watched anything about him lately - until today, because he showed up in aramatheydidnt - and OMG. I do not approve.

Like, ok, his nose was broken... But he looked better before Q_Q Well... at least, so do I think! And it's not that he looks bad, but I totally did not recognize him!! Really, he looks so different...
