...

Okay so last nightwas like really freaky. We'd been told to expect a rebound of the same magnitude or more within 48 hours, and tht we should either remain outdoors or on lower floors. Damn i didnt realise how serious it was till i spoke to my friends whos family's are in Islamabad... they actually know people who were caught up in this whole thing... theyres this building that collapsed and they all know someone or the other in it... some guy from their school died... and other peoples entire familys are missing.. it was the weekend so apparently a group of girls were sleeping over at someones place... and they wake the next morning to find out theyre familys gone, imagine. another friend of mine, his mamus still missing too. now we're getting news that so-and-so's brother was taken out dead from the rubble, things liek that, its really quite scary. There was a couple of aftershocks last night too, no one could sleep... i had to like gather the guts to come upstairs to the computer lab, coz i swear i'm so freaked right now!! 48 hours arent even up yet... last night noone slept and then finally when it was like 8 inthe morning and we cudnt take it we went to our dorms... ppl on the 3rd floor upwards were evacuated and hadta sleep in our common rooms on the lower floors.
Its so weird, i hear abt natural disasters on the news and u feel sad and u eventually get over it.. but when ur in the middle of it its jus freaky!... i mean this is happening to ppl i KNOW, be it indirectly, but still. and the footage they're showing on tcv, its jus sooo bad, i really didnt think at the time i was giving my exam tht it was going to be this serious.
the absolute worst thing was when one guy told me he called his friend and she said she was actually IN the rubble, like trapped. hes like she was hysterical....said things like i duno if i'll ever see my family again... and they havnt had new on her since. last night it rained in islamabad,.... some hail as well i think... and ppl are saying you could hear ppl screaming from under the rubble. oh god.
You guys, please pray for everyone. pray tht the ppl who are missing are still safe, no matter what their chances seem like right now...
anyway, till later...tc
