earthquakes and typhoons

Of all things J-land has to be, is to be a island country visited by loads of earthquakes and typhoons in the summer!!! After successfully avoiding the majority of them for two months while I went home, I finally had my 1st earthquake experience...

It was 2 nights ago. There I was sitting in front of my pc chatting away when suddenly, everything moved! Felt like I was on a rocky boat in sea. 1st thought: i'm dizzy.. 2.thought: earthquake!! The latter turned out right. grrr.... Freaked my friends out when I wrote "earthquake" into the dialogue box..lol.. Anyways, it registered a 3 on the J-earthquake scale, making it a 4-5 on the Richter. It lasted for less than a minute, so no damaged done. It was however, scary enough.

And now, typhoon weekend! After 3 days of rain, 2 days of shine, now the typhoon decides to come. Gone are the sunny days, indeed. psh....
