The recent events in Japan have made me buy a globe at National Bookstore.

So much happening in the world. I'm sorry if I'm not eager to accept trips/junkets right now because I'm afraid to leave my kids. The recent events are all biblical and apocalyptic to me. Political unrest, earthquakes, tsunamis, flooding, and volcanoes erupting all the same time scare me.
Every time some global or scientific issue happens, I have to consult with Miss Philippine Science, Grace Velasco to ask where is the tsunami/Pacific Ocean/Pacific Rim is, if I'm not frantically seatching for a map online and explaining to the household where the tsunami warnings are.
So I bought a globe and didn't realize how large the Pacific Ocean is. Now I can picture airplane routes, see the shape of Japan, and figure out where the nearest Target store is.
P.S. Not being Angelina Jolie/Mia Farrow here, but I really wish I could adopt a Japanese baby girl orphan, because the orphan stories in Japan are too heartbreaking.
