I’ve been following the reports closely since it happened early this morning (1:46am EST) but happened 2:46pm Japan time. It’s scary and my hearts go out to everyone effected. The videos that have been posted online are insane! So very scary and real. When the sirens went off to warn of the approaching tsunami, my heart started to race — and I’m no where near Japan or the West Coast. It’s just chilling to hear and see people panic.

As a human being, my heart aches. I cried after hearing and seeing it all on the news as the first reports started coming out. I couldn’t go to bed. I was paralyzed at my computer screen watching the live broadcasts (thanks BBC News, you have the best coverage in my opinion) coming from Japan and following trends on twitter.

When I heard this happening, I remembered an article I read a few days ago that predicted weather disruption on Earth and possible earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity in the next weeks.

ARTICLE POSTED ON MARCH 9, 2011 PREDICTED POSSIBLE DISRUPTION ON EARTH!!

“The web was yesterday awash with apocalyptic warnings that the movement of the moon will trigger tidal waves, volcanic eruptions and even earthquakes next week.

The conspiracy theorists claim that on March 19, the moon will be closer to Earth than at any time since 1992 – just 221,567 miles away – and that its gravitational pull will bring chaos to Earth.”

Quotes from an article by: David Derbyshire of the Daily Mail

After reading the article, how can that just be a coincidence? They predicted disruption because of the fact that every time there has been a “supermoon”, disasters struck in the weeks before and after. Well the supermoon is suppose to happen on March 19th, 2011 which is in about a week’s time.

Here’s another article posted early today on the Washington Post about the supermoon coincidence with the Japan earthquake. Of course there are some say it’s nonsense and say the Moon can’t effect Earth like this, but really… look at some of the facts that have been posted in that article. I’ll quote some below.

“There were SuperMoons in 1955, 1974, 1992 and 2005. These years had their share of extreme weather and other natural events.” – Mark Paquette from AccuWeather.com

“Hurricane Katrina made land on the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005, which was 10 days after the SuperMoon for that month. The 1938 New England hurricane happened on Sept. 21, three weeks after a SuperMoon. Australia’s Hunter River experienced mass flooding and property destruction in February 1955, two whole months before and after bookending SuperMoons.” – John Metcalfe

Of course these are theories and people are quickly to dismiss them. But after seeing what happened in Japan, how can you not think that a “supermoon” can cause this disruption and chaos on Earth.

With all theories & coincidences aside, Japan has been hit hard and the devastation is heartbreaking. Many lives lost and many people missing. Aftershocks continue along with another 6.6-magnitude earthquake that was just reported not too long ago.

I tried to let my dog out for bathroom break before bed, the side door would not budge at all!! I had go slam my entire body up against the door and push with all I had. It was a miracle it opened enough to let my dog out. Even then, I had to shovel a small square for her to do her business because there was plenty of snow piled up at the door.

So not looking forward to the morning. The snow has not stopped coming down and I can only imagine it will double come dawn.

Don’t get me wrong…I lounged around for the past three days and just did online stuff, watched movies, and watched Family Guy on dvd…but still. Being at home without a care in the world, is something I love. Call me a hermit if you will, it’s just too cozy to be bothered to go out and about.

Plus, the weather…omg the WEATHER!! Can you say boiling hot outside. Why on earth would I go out in a 30+ degree plus humidity day, when I can stay in the freshness of having air conditioning at home?? There’s really no decision between the two for me. I’d pick stay at home rather than going out, getting all sweaty, and ready to strip naked and jump in a pool.

Ya right…I’ll stay where it’s nice and fresh and only leave when I have to.

The weather is in the 30s both yesterday and today which is just great. The problem though is the fact I work both days. Like I mentioned before, the weather is always nice on days I tend to work. Ughh….why not nice on a day I’m off? I hope Monday or even tomorrow will be nice as well since I want to get out and go to the park or lake.

So ya…how is my new flash?? BLOODY AWESOME!!! I can’t believe I did without it for such a long time. I have taken some pictures, but those I haven’t put on my Flickr account. Will do so probably tomorrow. I don’t like having the flash directly pointing to my subject. It creates hard shadows. If you have it pointed slightly upwards, then the light bounces of the ceiling/wall and creates a nice soft image. AMAZING results!!

Vacation…Did I mention we’re probably heading to CUBA next month!!!!!!!!! Yippy!!!!! I can’t wait to be basking in the sunlight on the white sandy beach and then swimming in the ocean (my favourite thing ever!!!). So how did it come about? I was on my way to work yesterday and talking to my dad about stuff. He was mentioning how he wanted to see Cuba but wasn’t sure to go this year or not because they are already wasting money for my sister’s wedding which is in August. I think he was just waiting for me to agree on going which I totally did. I told him straight upfront I needed a vacation really bad and to swim in the ocean. He agreed and we starting talking about which dates, places, etc. So when I got to work, I had some time before I started and so I hopped online to check out some places. I found one resort in particular that we are looking at going to. Can’t say what it is yet, but it’s definitely looking good for us to go.

Now I just have to start setting aside some money and convince my dad that he should pay for my trip. LOL! I usually get my way anyways, but I’ll pay him back slowly for it since he already paid for my trip last year and didn’t take any of my money that I tried to give him.

I’m so excited over it!!! CUBA HERE I COME!!!
