I passed all the day reading about the situation on Japan... I hope things get better right there...
I'm praying for them. They need help and support.
If you want to help someway, here it goes a way www.icrc.org/eng/
I'm so focused on the news, I can't even work -- my thoughts were on this all the time. I passed all the day hearing Maaya Sakamoto's songs, cause I can feel the spirit of the Japan on them. I feel connected with this country, I have been there one year ago and I keep thinking about all the things I saw and lived there.
I'm certain they will make it, it's a strong people. But I can't wait to see the sakuras again as if nothing never had happened.

EDIT ~ I just CAN´'T BELIEVE how peoople can be SO SELFISH saying things as "what's the matter, it's japanese people's problem" or "screw them, we have problems enough on our country", as if the fact they're japanese would make them able to fix all the damages with a magical word. Their country was SEVERILY DAMAGED by a natural disaster, bigger than everything we ever had to face. Our country never passed through a thing like this? Well, we DO HAVE luck. But it does not prevents me for feeling sorry for them or want to help / support.
I felt sorry for the Katrina victims and for the victims of Haiti, too. But particularly in the case of Japan, it's a country whose a lot of people -- including me -- love and are used to consume their culture (particularly the pop culture -- like dolls, manga, anime, J-music).
It's such a pity people don't care about other people problems -- but OK, it's hard to accept but we can at least understand in some way. BUT, if you DO consume japanese culture and it's not able to feel sorry for them, you're not just insensitive -- you're ungrateful too.
My dear defied me to post a meme, so here it goes -- maybe it can help me to relax a lil' bit?

I'm Ponyfied!
I couldn't help it. I never thought taht would happen. But... I'm totally in love for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! ~cuteheartplz (https://www.deviantart.com/cuteheartplz)
I always loved the pony toys, but never cared about the cartoon series. But that new one is very good! Isn't too much "frufru & cutie", but it does have well constructed characters with not just qualities but a lot of flaws and defects.
The ponies live in a society where everypony have their roles to make everything happen. The main cast are looking for their place on the world and get along with each other, and they pass for a lot of fights and problems until understand what friendship is. Looks like

She will send me the printscreen and we will decide if she wants a doll photo or a sketch. I'm not that talented but I'll do my best!
The last days we had Carnaval here in Brazil and it means basically a long Holiday on our country.
As I'm not a party-girl, I'm out on a trip with my boyfriend visiting friends (Carnaval end today actually, but I think I'll be out for one or two days more... this is the best part of being a freelancer). =D
I know I'll have to work as hell in the next days, so I w
Gravity
Been a long road to follow
been there and gone tomorrow
Without saying goodbye to yesterday
are the memories I hold still valid?
or have the tears deluded them?
maybe this time tomorrow
the rain will cease to follow
and the mist will fade into one more today
something somewhere out there keeps calling
am I going home?
will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon?
zero gravity whats it like?
am I alone?
Is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet
still the road keeps on telling me to go on
something is pulling me
I feel the gravity of it all

Maaya Sakamoto is my idol... Really. I love her, she's my favourite singer. I hope she's fine.
I'm so worried about Japan's situation now. I can't tell you how much I'm sad. I love japan, I've been learning japanese for more than 5 years now, dreaming about a trip there... Last year, I was planning to go there but my health was bad so I had to cancel it.
My heart's feeling like something is brooking it... I'm so sad... Crying everyday since last friday...
