un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez


melbourne and earthquakes...

Melbourne Victoria has been shaken by yet another earthquake, measuring 4.6 on the richter. Again.

Read the story here. According to a seismologist, "it's unusual to get two earthquakes of this size within a couple of weeks of each other". The epicentre of this 2nd earthquake was very close to the one that occured on the 6th which was barely 2 weeks ago.

And according to this article, there is more to be expected.

Fortunately, I was out in the streets during the time of the 2nd earthquake and didn't feel anything. This was really a coincidence, as I had originally intended to stay at home the whole day. It was only yesterday evening when I realized that I had to travel to the city instead as my relatives happened to be visiting. If I were home, I would very likely have felt this earthquake, and would have definitely freaked out.

What a time to be living in Melbourne. How exciting.

IT'S ANOTHER FRIGGIN' EARTHQUAKE!!!
