    Gah... I couldn't even tell that two weeks have already passed. I've been working non-stop, 16~18hrs a day supporting all of the efforts up north... Just been such an amazing on-taking. Not only that part, but also dealing with what the DoS put out, as well... I think that part was the worst, as we seemed to be the ones that are chosen to throw everything together whenever something new is proposed. It's just amazing how much of all of this stuff is completely unprecendented. Still, it's nice to leave the news on, and seeing how what you've done has reached the affected areas and even around the world. This truly is an international effort.

    The only thing that really bothers me is that I don't really have the time to get a good work-out in. That, and eating like utter crap because it's next to impossible to leave the work area. Hopefully, things will hit a sustainable "new normal" and I'll be able to take care of my body. That, and I hope I can take a day off before we hit the 1-month mark of this thing.

    ------

    Outside of that, I'm kinda bummed that I'm so out of the loop with the girls. It's nice to see what they did in Guam and I really need to find the time to drop some funds into their Red Cross account. Don't know if I'll trek out to Saitama just to buy some goods without catching a glimpse of the ladies. I know it's for a good cause, but I don't really even have the time to think, lately. If they have it at the AKBshop, then I'll order some of the things.

    I've just checked the web page of the Japan consulate in Barcelona and they have means to allow us to donate money (in this case a glass case for cash and a bank account for deposits or transfers). I guess this might work for all the embassies and consulates so, if you are not sure how you could donate money, I think that this is a good (and safe) alternative. [nod]

    Yea, I felt happy they are all Okay, but hope they don't get harmed by strong radiations.
    Meanwhile, most of AKB's activities have been put off because of the disaster, pray Japan
    will recover from this soon. :)

    The good news story continues for the female dog who was stranded in the ocean for 3 weeks after the tsunami. In this video you see a happy, healthy dog reunited with her grateful owner. (from NHK News)

    Most important thing: Exclusion zone is going to be extended, that means a lot of animals that will be abandoned and set free, which implies a lot of work to JEARS and others.
    For the soon, we need money from foreigners and if someone is in japan, Food, Jails/Cages, etc for the shelters.

    On the other hand, I think I will get sponsorship so MAAAAYBE I would go soon. >^.^<

    PS: Well, anyone saying radiation effects, ok, I'm going right there. xD
