InstaGuilt

Tis past couple of weeks, i have been happily uploadin pics of things & food on my Instagram profile (yes i'm adaptin better than expected to my iPhone! lol any of my contacts here also on Instagram? add me! user:firestarlet). it's so delightful to be part of tis community as it is full of pictorial wonders! yes pics of people, food, flowers & everythin under the sun that make the heart warm with creative wonders & inspirations! It was not until the meat feast we had at Senor Santos that the guilt hit me.

Recently i have been goin thru the page #prayforjapan to see pictures put up by people in Japan as well as all ard the world to show solidarity with the nation as they face the aftermath of the recent 9.0 magnitude earthquake & tsunami, and what could be a nuclear meltdown after 3 nuclear reactor leaks in Fukushima. I shudder after lookin at pics of empty rows of supermarket shelves in Tokyo, i thought how insensitive could i be, i have a follower from Japan.

I feel so sorry for the Japanese for havin to face such a difficult time. But it is really admirable how they are copin with much calm & order. If such calamities were to happen here, God knows what kinda ruckus will take place. I hope that they won't face nuclear meltdowns & undergo anythin of Chernobyl magnitude. Juz the thought itself is so so scary! Food, water, environment... the whole ecosystem & food chain will be afftected, not juz in Japan i bet, for the rest of Asia too!

As much as I am hopin & prayin for the Libyans to be liberated from the clutches of Gaddafi's ruthless ruling, as well as the rest of the freedom fighters in the Arab nations and for their sufferings to be over....I felt a lil bit more for Japan cos Tokyo left quite an impression on me. The food especially, i juz fell in love with the melon ice-cream there! Sigh...and of course the beautiful peaceful lil town of Hakone. I really pray and hope that things will get better for them.

I dedicate my plate of chilli sauce to them! May ur spirits remain feisty as u face tis calamity!
