Small earthquakes are okay since we need them so they let off some energy, if there's been too long without an earthquake, it's likely the next one would be catastrophic. [sweat];;

that is terrifying.

It is. Doesn't help that I live on the tenth story so any wobbling gets magnified the higher you are. [gonk] Don't even want to think about how much it must be shaking if one was on the top of the 101 building in Taipei...[headdesk] Also, the higher you are, the longer it takes for you to escape. Sooo...on the tenth floor, basically that means I can just find a place to hide and hope that the building doesn't collapse because there's no way I'll be able to run down ten stories within the time frame. [sweat]

how do people live in places like that?
I mean no offense or anything, I just wouldn't be able to handle that.
it would shoot my anxiety through the roof.

Haha I guess you just get used to it? [sweat] I've gotten used to small earthquakes, but the bigger ones still make my blood pressure go sky high. [gonk] Gods know how I managed to get through 921 without batting an eye...I blame it on my being still %80 asleep at the time it happened. [sweat]

that happened once for me too,
pretty much asleep too.

I think I like Canada [gonk]

Yeah...I woke up and was in the bathroom when the quake started. I just calmly finished my business, flushed, walked back out, where my dad said, "Earthquake." Me: "Yeah.", and walked back into my room, flopped down, and went back to sleep, with the quake still going on. [XD];; It was only the next day on the news that I saw how bad it was. [sweat]

Hahaha if you're in the area I'll buy some for you! [lol]

So much food here, and so many varieties [drool]
I'm feeling a little hungry just thinking about all of it. [lol]

Parachutes probably won't work considering the density of the buildings around here [gonk]
I'll just have to hope for the best that no major earthquakes will strike for...say, 100 more years. [lol];;;

*drools at Iku's signature [drool]*

You'll have to come during their season though, or there won't be any available. [XD]

It's almost dinner time here, so...I'm getting hungrier. [lol]

[drool]!! *noms on the cupcake*

Much better, my voice is all normal now [boogie]
The temperature's been up and down though, so I've got a bit of a runny nose. [sweat]

...I've been coughing, and not the dry kind of coughing either, almost non-stop tonight. What the hell. [cry]

need cough drops?
or tea?

the American just came home early from work.

I'm eating a cough drop right now. D:
And I brought a bottle of tea with me to work. ; w;
Hopefully they'll help...Q AQ

Ooh, quality time! <3

ha, not really, she slept all day!

xDD!!

Does she have work again later?

nope, not for another 12 hours or so~
she just slept because that's the best way to deal with sick.

Oh. D: I thought she was getting better? Hope she makes a full recovery soon!

aha, nope I'm the one who is almost better,
she's just getting the sick that I had.

That sucks. [sweat]

Still coughing all over the office. [XD];; Put on my mask again so the person in front of me don't get all my coughs. [lol]

masks are such a smart thing.
[yes]

they feel suffocating to me, though.

The only inconvenience is that I'm also wearing glasses, and they clash on my nose. [sweat]
I'd breathe out and my glasses would fog, or my glasses would slip downwards because the mask's too slippery. [sweat]

I'm wearing a mask so it's okay [:)] I still try to avoid coughing in people's direction though...but sometimes the urge to cough is too strong and I don't have the time to turn away before it comes out. [gonk]
