South Asia Earthquake

This earthquake has left me pretty distressed. Of course Lahore wasn't hit that hard by it, so I'm all safe and sound along with my family and friends but other parts of the country are all in devastation. Couple of buildings collapsed in Islamabad and other cities, Kashmir totally destroyed, 3 other villages destroyed and many other casualties. My house simply suffered from a wild shaking but thats it, Lahore didnt face any other casualties except very very few deaths and 1 or 2 small buildings collapsed.

A school in Islamabad (not sure if in any other areas) had collapsed and children are still trapped under the building, some dead while some still waiting to be rescued since October the 8th. Kashmir is now in ruins! This earthquake has spread all over Pakistan reaching even Agfanistan and New Delhi. In some people's opinion, this earthquake is worse than the misery brought by the hurricanes and tsunami. Half of Pakistan couldve been destroyed. I can barely watch the news, so many children injured, many regions utterly destroyed and much more destruction.

There was this less than a year old baby who was trapped under a building for 3 whole days and they finally found him and his mom alive, it was pure miracle that the baby and her mother survived. Here's a pic of tht lil baby, hes soooo cute:

True, a chain of disaster. Tsunami, hurricane now earthquake.

In school we were discussing things on the earthquake. One guy was saying that the Himalayas have been seperated from Pakistan. But not sure on that. Also another earthquake may come (no one knows whether it is predicted or by chance) that will destroy the whole of north pakistan. I'm living in the middle of Pakistan but who knows what may happen. But thats also very unsure.

Im just trying to stay alive O.o

.....*looks into dictionay* Ah yes me too! ^^;

My school so far has invested 4 lacks and family is still gatherin up more to donate.

There was a woman who was found under the debris alive and she was pregnant! When she was saved she had the baby and thank God the baby made it through. first baby born after earthquake :P. Here's an interesting story. There was this lil girl stuck under the school, she was alive but she had this debris and stuff on her arm. So she was writing a letter so that hopefully when they find her if she was dead or unconcious they would know who she was. So she was writing down everythin about her.

Then her arm started bleeding and she thought judgement day had come. So on the letter she was writtig something along the lines of 'Allah yallah kiyamat agahi' those are just the word I remember. So far it mean Allah judgement day has come. In the end she died. And when they were cleanin up around the building a news reporter found the letter.

That. Is so sad.

How old was the girl though?? Because in Sura al Kar'iia (in the Qu'ran for those who don't know what I'm talking about) no one would know judgement day came until it came, the hills would turn into flimy cotton..and stuff...you know what I mean! You read it right? Anyway, I'm sure that she wasn't old enough to read it or just wasn't told about it yet.

Agh. My brain hurts.

I dunno but I bet she was pretty young.

And another earthquake hit Lahore! But it was small. We were all in school, some of the guys felt a lil shakin and were sayin stuff but no one believed them until there was this one big shake! the building jerked left and then started shakin slighty. Some of the guys were wussys and started chickenin out :P it was small though, we were on like the 3rd floor so we felt it alot.
