天阿... tragedy... devastation and destruction

天阿... tragedy... devastation and destruction

the past few days, winnie and i have been so busy with work, that we were pretty much secluded from the outside world, on a plane or car, in a recording studio or a film studio, and didn't have any time to read a newspaper or watch tv or even catch up on any news. so yesterday, when 小刀 called me from beijing, and said there was a "超大的地震" over there, it didn't occur to me that something really devastating had happened. i've been so tired lately, i get dizzy and sleepy, and i wasn't thinking very clearly, just remember thinking that it was strange, i have never experienced an earthquake in any city in mchina. i asked, are you ok? is everyone there (at the mnwingman office in beijing) ok? and he replied, yeah we're fine, so i just assumed it was like the ones that i have experienced before. it wasn't until this morning, when i was on the car on the way to work, when our makeup artist said, "妳們有看到新聞嗎? 四川那邊有很嚴重的大地震..." that i found out it was so serious. i remember when 9/21 happened, i was still in school in texas then, and many of us students hosted and attended events to donate money and supplies to send to taiwan to help the victims of the earthquake, bc we were so affected by what had happened, and were hoping to help. when my makeup artist said that this earthquake was 3 times worse than 9/21 and that the death toll was 10,000, i started tearing up, i was so shocked and devastated. i then called 小刀 to first ask him why he didn't tell me it was so serious and then more importantly to ask him what we can do to help those affected by the earthquake. i was scheduled to go back to mchina the day after tomorrow, and we're supposed to be traveling/working from city to city. some of these events will still continue, as we have already agreed to them, and it is up to the tv station/hosts to decide if they want to continue as planned or delay/cancel, but there is also the possibility that some of the events will be altered due to what has occurred, and also so that hopefully, we can do something to help those in need. please see the company website (www.mnwingman.com) for the latest updates. i know that we will all be praying and wishing that all of you and your loved ones are safe and well, and hoping that 大家會一起團結, 發出我們的愛心, 希望我們可以幫助. 大家保重, 保佑, 一起家油...! send them our love...
