on some corners of the earth

our cable tv was off since yesterday afternoon. i missed the news last night so i wasn't aware other parts of the world went on rogue. new zealand was hit by a magnitude 7 quake. libya is about to oust the head of their country and there was a crackdown in bahrain. they just celebrated 249 days without a government according to yahoo! news.  to date, our cable tv is up and running again. technicians from the cable company dropped by to get it fixed. there was just some trouble with the coax cables outside i guess. yesterday, it was our fixed line. actually, there was no trouble with the phone line, t'was the unit that was faulty. finally t'was replaced as it never worked properly since day one.  going back, what happened in new zealand was really devastating. we should always pray because you'll never know what's in store.
