2005...

Today is the 1st of January, 2005.
I was feeling very sad (still am) of the disaster that has just happened.
26th December, 2004 :- Tsunami in South Asia
The tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean on Sunday. It killed tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa.
So many lifes are lost and more are being recovered. Many lost their loved ones, lost their source of income, lost their homes, lost their minds... To date, the death toll has reached 135,000. The Boats slammed into bridges and bodies were left lying on the streets or still buried beneath rubble left behind when the water subsided, In all, at least 11 countries -- including the Maldives, Myanmar, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Tanzania -- were affected by the monstrous waves. Many people are wandering the streets, homeless... Its gonna cost billions to rebuild and years to complete it... The relief effort was expected to be the largest ever, requiring millions of dollars just to stabilize the area and prevent the aftermath of the disaster from killing even more people -- as many as double the current toll, according to one World Health Organization (WHO) official.
Tonite... i said a lil prayer for them all at the grotto. Hope the world is blessed with peace of mind & soul... & the strength to continue their lives in the faith that tommorrow will be a better day... Although there is no more certainty on what it'll bring.
May this tragedy bring humanity to a different height of awareness - to fite everyday for unity & peace. To date, there are more sufferers in the world who need help... This ain't a time to discuss who is more powerful since nature has spoken for itself...
There is no power greater than of God... and this might just be it... The answer to all our prayers
To World Peace.. To Humanity.. To the so-called Powers of The World..
Wake up & smell the ocean.. :-)
