Victims of the Tohoku Japan Earthquake

My heart is broken every time I see the plight of the victims of the Northeastern Japan Earthquake in local TV.

Seeing the survivors search amongst the rubbles hoping their family members are still alive, seeing the children in evacuation areas and hearing their moms worried about how to feed them , watching the evacuees with their eyes of grief - worried about their future - their livelihood destroyed by either by the quake or Tsunami - I could not stop my tears from flowing.

How I wish I could go there and help. But my own responsibilities as well as the tough travel logistics would not allow me to.
At this point there are 2 things I can do to help the victims and survivors. I can donate myself and encourage my friends as well as the rest of the world to do so.

For all of us here in Japan let us join hands together and rebuild this great nation once again. GAMBARIMASHO!


In the spirit of philanthropy and humanitarian concern , I would like to share the Google page below:

English:
http://www.google.co.jp/intl/en/crisisresponse/japanquake2011.html

Japanese (日本語)
http://www.google.co.jp/intl/ja/crisisresponse/japanquake2011.html

As we see in the news people in evacuation centers are in dire need of water, food and blankets.

Those who would like to donate can do so via that page and it will be channeled through the Japanese Red Cross Society.

Alternatively, you may send me your donations and I will combine it with mine then sent it to that site using my credit card. In that case all cash donations will be recorded and transparently tracked.

You may also send me your donations paypal, send me an email and I will inform you my account. I will also publish a paypal charity site later.


Warmest regards,

Jun

Get Rid of Anger - wikiHow

Get Rid of Anger - wikiHow One more thought to help you diminish anger and hatred: After almost 4 decades living in this World, I have come to realize one thing --- The Law of Action and Reaction is very true in us humans. We should take advantage of this law. A person who constantly reflects and observe the things around him can master the principles of success and achieve almost up to perfection. He would think to himself - if somebody is mad at him or is criticizing him then obviously he is doing something wrong or inappropriate. Instead of getting back at that other person, he would thank him either verbally or through feelings of gratitude, and use that "reaction" as a hint to point to what could be the problem. If he is 100% sure that there is really no problem, or that is is not heading the wrong direction in life, then he can consider the fact that the criticizing person could possibly be misinformed, misled or there has been a lack of communication - and think of...

To GBS/CIDP/Polyneuropathy Patients and Friends

Hello my friends with GBS/CIDP/Polyneuropathy, I was diagnosed with GBS, then CIDP then polyneuropathy in Jan 24,2012 and I was scared that it would be the end of my life. My body weakened starting from my feet all the way up to to my hands up to the point that I needed the nurse or my brother to feed me.  Now I can walk and work normally as I did since September, 2012, for more than 2 years now. My advice to all of you my brothers and sisters is to hang on to your faith and never lose hope.  Stay positive.  Stay connected to the world - the GBS-CIDP FB forum helped me ,  my FB and twitter friends kept me strong.  The visits of my colleagues at work re-informed that I can still contribute something to this world. My mom and my brother supported me on day-to-day basis and I was very lucky to have them by my side during the visiting hours.  The rest of my relatives all over the world sent their love and prayers.  But if you have no family around- th...

Fav-Song Lyrics-004: Are you Lonesome Tonight - by Elvis Presley

Are you Lonesome Tonight ? Sang by Elvis Presley (words & music by roy turk and lou handman) Are you lonesome tonight, Do you miss me tonight? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight? I wonder if youre lonesome tonight You know someone said that the worlds a stage And each must play a part. Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart. Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange And why Ill never know. Honey, you lied when you said you loved me And I had no cause to doubt you. But Id rather go on hearing your lies Than go on living without you. Now the stage is bare ...
