more of the tragedy

watched cnn a while ago... more than 115,000 people are dead, while thousands are still missing. in indonesia alone, 52,000+ people lost their lives, while other countries (there are 12 affected countries btw) have large numbers of casualties too. the numbers are expected to rise up to the next few days, and might reach up to a total of 150,000 or more. 6,700 of those missing are foreign tourists, who just went to those countries just to have fun, relax, and have a good holiday celebration.

i stayed glued to the tube to catch every detail i could get. seeing amateur videos of the actual tragic scenes, video footages of dead people and their relatives crying so hard over them, images of those still missing, and a lot more really made me feel so bad. this is one event in history that no one would ever forget. it made me realize that i am still lucky to be here in this world.

i send my condolences to everyone who are in terrible grief of losing a big part of their lives now, and pray for the souls of those who departed.
