I Arm Strong

Newest miracle in Haiti

It’s a real surprise when I read the news about the Haitian government decided that it’s time to put an end to the rescue missions and move on to helping the survivors… I mean, it’s another way of saying, “There are no more survivors.”

Damn.

But international aid teams continue to search for any survivors despite that declaration. And thankfully, a survivor’s brother who kept on searching for him had heard a voice 20 feet beneath the concrete wreckage of a hotel grocery store. He then alerted a Greek rescue team (future Spartans perhaps? heehe) and the team managed to get him out. Wismond Exantus, survived for 11 days in the wreckage! Because he was in a grocery store, he survived by the help of beer, cookies and cola. Hmm beer is a lifesaver after all heh? Jaz kidin

Anyway, the news stated that he was in a good condition so thank goodness for that.

Speaking from his hospital bed he said: “I was hungry. But every night I thought about the revelation that I would survive.

“I would eat anything I found. After the quake I didn’t know when it was day and when it was night.

“It was God who was tucking me away in his arms. It gave me strength.”

The latest update of the Haiti Earthquake is that it has claimed around 200,00 lives……

So it seems lately there have been going a lot of international disasters, be it because of nature or because of man’s foolishness. Whatever it is, is it a sign that the world will be over soon? (Damn, I’m speaking like one of those voices in History Channel or National Geographic! btw, these two channels have been talking about 2012 as well, if I’m not mistaken… but that is another story heehe).

Below are some pics of the catastrophe…

I can never imagine that little girl's feelings.

The survivors being treated.

I like this picture. 3 men helping each other. This pic says a lot, don't you think?

As for Land Below the Wind people, be thankful that disasters rarely come our way and hope it stays that way!

Be thankful for what we have! (I keep on saying this to remind myself).
