Earthquakes in Japan shakes Not only Japan

Yea we all know the news of the earthquake in Japan. I remember when I was a high school kid, my physic teacher taught the Newton three laws of motion and one of the three laws was "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". This is true when it applies to motion but this is NEVER true when it applies to E-motion. Emotion is not a motion of the Internet like such of email, e-study etc, but rather a psychophysical response of individual. Although I'm not as smart as Isaac Newton, I can present you and guarantee you the laws of emotion - "For every action, it will generate many many varieties of reactions". And we shall see how the earthquake in Japan (the action) generates various reaction:

Praying hard for Japan in Facebook
Ya, the Facebook-mania goes again! I've seen people praying in temples, churches, mosques, synagogues and even at home but this is the first time I see people praying in facebook!! Many pages/events are created to "pray for Japan". I wonder which God I am praying to if I join the event/page. If a Taoist and a Christian join this event/page, are they praying to the same God? Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝) = Jesus? Ahhh their name both share the alphabet J - sounds good to somebody? =D Maybe in the near future, we may see a new religion called Facebookism, followed by the Facebookists.


Showing concerns to porn stars in Japan
I guess I am not the only one who shows concern to porn stars in Japan. It is amazing to see the high popularity of Maria Ozawa among Indonesians but my concern goes to Kaede Matsushima and Julia. But the most concern of the AVers went to Yui Hatano (AV 林志玲) as her name appeared in the death list of Tsunami, according to Yahoo news. But according to Worldnewsco, there is no official confirmation of her death yet. Although her death is still a myth, one thing is certain that the earthquake will impede the porn production in Japan and we shall start collecting Japanese porn as we will see a short of production in near future.

"Huh?? Earthquake in China too??"

Moment before the earthquake in Japan, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake hit Yingjiang County in southwest China's Yunnan Province too. The earthquake has affected the production and life of about 344,600 residents in the five counties. Also, the earthquake destroyed 18,445 houses and apartments and left 55,345 others seriously damaged, according to the ministry's figures. However, medias did not stress much on this news and focused mainly on the earthquake in Japan. This incident shows that the media and most of the people are in favor of Japan over China (the ratio "Pray for Japan" to "Pray for China" is 100 to 1 in Facebook?) And some even do not know the earthquake in China!! This favorism is not racism because Japanese and Chinese are both yellow. The reasons could be:
  1. Size-wise, China is too big to feel the pain, while Japan is smaller, the scar is larger relatively.
  2. Some people just prefer Japanese over Chinese as the result of watching too much Japanese manga and porns
  3. Some people just hate communist and ignore any news from a communist country because it could be a fake news!
Predicting the coming of 2012
Many people see the earthquake in Japan as a sign of the coming of the end of the world. New terms like Twentytwelvology are created to describe the coming of this 2012 apocalypse. Many theories are developed to support this 2012 apocalypse make-believe. However, I am not a believer of the end of the world. If tomorrow is the REAL end of the world, what should I do now? Just live my day happily as always. So even if somehow the end did not come, I gain one day of happiness!!! The end is coming or not, just always live happily then I'll, for certain, always win!! Fuck you to those 2012-worriers/believers. Of course 2012 will come, so does 2013, 2014, 2015.....

Speculating the stock market
Whenever natural disaster or man-made disaster happens, speculators always take their chances to bet on the market. Nikkei lost 6.18% on Monday as the result of sell-off by investors and short-selling by speculators. It is unbelievable that Japanese government did not plan to shut its trading after the earthquake. This is a bad news for investors as earthquake destroyed many businesses. But think of the bright side, earthquake creates equal opportunity for construction companies and machinery companies to rebuild the country after the disaster. Kajima Corporation, the largest construction companies, stock gained 22.17% on Monday with 8-fold increase in volume. Friendly reminder again: Speculating is not the way to make money in stock market for long term - READ MY POST! And FYI, Warren Buffet just bought Lubrizol for $9 Billion despite the stocks fall and recent concern of Japanese economy.


These are just a few examples how different reactions can be generated as the result of the same action. Isn't a human emotion amazing? Earthquake in Japan shakes not only Japan but the heart of everyone.

p/s: If it happens to be true that Yui Hatano is dead, may your spirit, your smile, your voice and your beauty live forever in my heart by watching your master piece over and over again.........
