My 1st Blog...EARTHQUAKE !!!!

Have you ever felt that actually death is so close to you? Even closer than your neck !!! For the first time in my life, I understood why we should not forget that all of us will die someday. Trust me, it's so scary! Imagining that the end is so close to you, knowing that there's no more time to do good deeds, and realizing that GOD is truly really great while we're just nothing!!!

Two days ago, a big terrible earthquake woke me up in the morning. Some news mentioned that it was 5.9 scale richter (I don't know how to mention it in correct form of english), but I think it was bigger. The quake duration was 1 minute(more or less). It was tectonical, coming from Hindia Ocean which its coasts lie along the southern part of the island where my hometown is.

Thank God, there was no tsunami. But still, it was so tragic. My hometown suffers the worst because we're the nearest place from the quake centrum. Hundreds of buildings (houses, schools, offices...) fell down, more than 2,000 people died (even one of them was my schoolmate), and the survivors now live homeless, injured and starved.

I got so much lucky. I'm alive, my whole family are alive and my house is standing still. But what I got from the disaster is the most important thing. I'm not going to spend my life just for fun. No more useless things !!

You know why? Because life is just too short to waste. Trust me. Don't wait until you feel it yourself...It's so scary.
