time-out

As you all must know by now, Japan experienced it's worst earthquake in history just yesterday afternoon.  The offshore quake subsequently triggered a tsunami that devastated much of the coastal areas near Sendai, seriously shaking buildings in Tokyo, setting of massive fires at a oil refinery and a nuclear power plant, killing hundreds of people and cutting of electricity to millions of households.  It's still cold in many parts of Japan and no power means no heat.  The effects of this quake will be felt not just days but months and even years later.

My thoughts, at this point in time, are not only with my friends and their love ones in Japan but also with all the people of Japan, especially those in North East Japan.

Hence, it's time-out for today and maybe even tomorrow.  I'm not in the mood for blogging about anime, music or food etc.  It's time for some reflection and prayers.  May God be with the people of Japan.
