Too many feelings in my mind for me to form sentences now...
Tonight, I tried to comfort a close friend from a city near to the epicenter. Nonetheless after she told me her memories about the smile faces of friends who havent been found, the seasons in the sun with them, her familiar city already flattened...just in several seconds, all, gone... the only thing I could do was to start holding back tears in my eyes...

This is really heart wrenching. Control your emotions Fiona and redirect it to what is best, reaching out to as many sufferers as possible and comfort them.
Takecare.

Thank you a lot, my friend.

BTW, today I was shocked to hear that Sara Stone claimed that the earthquake was interesting and a karma! I think it is wrong to link this terrible natural disaster in humans' history with politics. And she also lacked the basic knowledge that many Tibetans also lived in the quake-hit areas.

She is not an intellectual indeed. And as a public figure, she needs to think twice about what to say.

You're asking too much from people who expects to wait on them hand-and-foot.

Sad but, really, irrelevant considering the Human death toll. I've seen some comments around places talking about how they're more worried/saddened about the Pandas than the Humans. Which is just a f**ked up thing to say, really.
