How do you wake up in the morning?

[MexThorn]

I HATE getting up in the morning. lol I'm just not a morning person but I have no choice.

What do you do to wake up? Do you do anything at all?

I like to get up boil some water and make me a nice cup of coffee. I usually make it out of 3 scoops of French Vanilla and Mocha Cappuccino each, 2 scoops of NesCafe', 1 scoop of sugar, and a little half and hlaf French Vanilla flavor. It's a wierd sweet concoction but it get's me awake.

I used to drink Red Bull but I heard about a lot of people abusing it and I felt sick, so I stopped drinking it in the morning.

Tell me what you do, or do you just wake up and ready to go?

[beer good]

I don't.

I usually wake up sometime around 10 AM in front of the computer at work, halfway into my second cup of coffee and wondering where I am. To this day, I have no idea how I get to work. My guess is that the reptile part of my brain has advanced to the point where it can not only dress me and fix breakfast, but actually figure out a bus timetable. :D

OK, maybe not quite that bad. But close.

LOL! When I was reading your post I was thinking about myself yesterday. I got 4 hours of sleep the night before and kinda slept the whole morning at school.

[Wirhe]

Morning? Who the hell wakes up at morning? I usually wake up well past 12 and snooze in bed for an hour or so before deciding there are things that need doing. Like my research paper. Or those 5 essays. Or the upcoming exam. So no; I'm not a morning person and I absolutely hate waking up before 9. Perhaps because I haven't woken up so early, regularly, for six years.

Can we trade lives? lol ;)

[Pensive]

My mother or father wakes me up. I mean that when I hear their voice, I jump out of my bed. I am not lazy at waking up.

[Logos]

I love mornings! because it's so quiet and peaceful :lol:

My cat often wakes me up, but I'm usually up very early and don't need an alarm, regardless of how late I was up. I'm a night-owl too. Does that make sense!?

Though I don't claim coherency first-thing, the ritual includes (like you Mex) a complicated process of procuring the strongest sweetest coffee possible with a traditional percolator (http://www.blokeystuff.com.au/ProductImages/9313803154698.jpg) . A dash of choccie for the first few cups and I'm good to go!

If I'm in a rush or impatient, I use my Melitta Pod (http://www.fingerhut.com/products/X2861_200.JPG) which is fast and uncomplicated :p

Then I watch the sun come up over the trees, glinting off the windows of the cathedral on the hill in the distance through my floor-to-ceiling 30 feet long windows, while I read the news on my computer.

[Virgil]

I'm a morning person too. On a work week I wake up at an un-Godly hour of 4:45 - that's AM. Shower, dress, give the dog a hug (wife gets upset if I wake her), and out the house by 5:35. Non-work day I'll treat my self to sleeping until 6:00 AM. Read a little then take the dog out for a walk and run in a open field. Back for breakfest at around 7:30. Usually I have coffee, and I too use a traditional perculator. On occaision I change over to a cup of tea.

Logos - That sounds lovely.

[Pensive]

Yep, it sounds very romantic.

[Themis]

What do you do to wake up? Do you do anything at all?


For a start, I open my eyes. That usually does the trick. :D


Though I admit, normally I take a long time to wake up. Especially in winter I take ages to rise and leave my bed. It also depends on what I can expect of a day.

[Logos]

Logos - That sounds lovely.

Yeah, even though living in a big city, I'm blessed with having a huge forest/parkland to overlook (southeast) from my windows and balcony. I'm sure it has a great effect on my mood.

I just really don't understand why more people don't like waking up early? :confused: although I guess I'm also lucky I can take an afternoon nap now and then :lol:

[Pendragon]

Well, I will say this. My dear wife does not wake up grumpy in the morning. Most of the time, she lets me sleep in....

[beer good]

I just really don't understand why more people don't like waking up early? :confused:
It's weird. It's unnatural. It's possibly even evil. Especially at this time of year. Waking up while it's still pitch black outside... nuh-uh.

Of course if you'd asked the question six months from now, it might be a different matter.

[kilted exile]

I am normally already awake when my alarm clock goes off at 5 each morning. It gives me enough time to get organised and have a decent breakfast before heading into work.

The annoying thing is I am unable to sleep past 7 anymore at the weekends cos I am used to getting up early for work......ah to be a student and sleep till 3 in the afternoon.

[daddysfiddler]

......ah to be a student and sleep till 3 in the afternoon.

....ah to be a high school student and go to school at 7 in the moring after 4 hours of sleep. I envy anybody who is able to sleep past 8 in the morning. My internal clock wakes me up around 6 everyday no matter how much sleep I got the night before.

[emily655321]

It's weird. It's unnatural. It's possibly even evil.
:lol: :lol: :lol: My sentiments exactly.

Oh, and Wirhe, I hate you. :p

I'm sooo not a morning person. My boyfriend is. It doesn't work well. When I was a student, I would go to bed at 2am (or later), sleep until afternoon (oh yes, I can sleep forever and ever and ever... I'm like magic), then feel like I'd wasted the day (you know, because I had). But there is nothing quite like the peace of a house all to yourself in the wee hours of the night—the cats all snuggled up on various pieces of furniture, and me, and a book or the TV and a midnight snack. I am a nightowl, all the way. I prefer seeing the dawn from the vantage point of someone who has been up all night. Seen quite a few of them from the windows of the school library.

Nowadays is different. I have to be at work at 10am, and my boyfriend has to be at work at 7am (good Lord), so it usually goes like this: In bed by 10:00pm, alarm goes off at 6:00am, repeated snooze-button hitting until 6:30, the boy gets up, I go back to sleep. A few minutes later he wakes me up, gives me a goodbye hug, I go back to sleep. Sometimes I set my alarm for 8:00, sometimes I wake up on my own somewhere between 8:00 and 8:45. I make breakfast (beans-on-toast, canned fruit, orange juice. No coffee for me—can't stand it), listen to the news on internet radio, sometimes visit the Forum. At 9:00 (sometimes later) I do stretching exercises to get the blood moving, then get ready for work and go.

What luxury!!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

I'm not sure how I manage to wake up in the morning - but I'm really glad it keeps happening. :nod:

[Keltic Banshee]

Ehm... well... following my internal clock means going to bed late at night (or early in the morning), usually between 4 and 6 in the morning, and then waking up between noon and 2pm. Then i manage to open my eyes, cuddle in bed for a few more minutes and get up pretty much awake. I'm "lucky enough" to be unemployed now, so i can do that...

When i was still at uni I had to get up at 6am to get myself to class by 8am :S That meant "living the day the other way around", as I had to get up at the time I would usually go to sleep :sick: According to some of my classmates, I managed to sleep in class while I kept taking notes of what the teacher was saying :goof: I would usually wake up somewhere around mornign break (11am), when i got my 3rd or 4th cup of coffee and my sandwich :D But still, when i have to get up early i'm not exactly a nice person until i get my nap

[Wirhe]

@ emily655321

Well, it's the positive side of my current style of life. If it is of any comfort, I don't have as much money to spend as those who go to work. But it's only a year or two until graduation, so hopefully I get a job with similar hours as yours. Starting the day before 10am is just suicidal.

[ClaesGefvenberg]

Basically, I find myself awake after reading the morning paper. I assume that wake up occurs while I'm reading it. As a matter of fact, it's not so much of a problem getting up. This time of year it's the getting out of the house (and going to work) that really gets me. Yesterday morning it was -15 degrees (centergrade), snowing, and a fair gale. That meant moving a good deal of frozen downpour around with a shovel. I suppose I also ought to mention my most common means of transportation: A mountain bike... You get the picture? B-r-r-r-r-r-r-r.... :cold: Anyway, I am most definitely very awake when I reach work.


I'm usually up very early and don't need an alarm, regardless of how late I was up. I'm a night-owl too. Does that make sense!? It does, actually. At least to me.... I usually sleep around five hours an night.


Though I don't claim coherency first-thing, the ritual includes a complicated process of procuring the strongest sweetest coffee possibleGood grief, no... Can't subject the body to a shock like that in the morning.


I'm a morning person too. On a work week I wake up at an un-Godly hour of 4:45 - that's AM. Shower, dress, give the dog a hug (wife gets upset if I wake her), and out the house by 5:35.Another early bird? I get up around 5:00 AM, but I wouldn't call myself a morning person. Getting up at 5:00 AM or 9:00 AM makes no difference to me: It's still a near death experience ;)

/Claes

[papayahed]

I've always been a morning person, I'm always the first one up - that can be annoying sometimes. Over labor day weekend I stayed at a friends house - I was always up by 8 am - nobody else woke up until around 10, what was I suppossed to do for those 2 hours??? In someone else's house - I didn't want to make too much noise but sheesh that stunk.

[rachel]

I am neither a night nor a morning person. But since duty calls I arise between three and five in the morning, usually the earlier, and immediately get a baba for Hasia, change her and make her cozy and then put on her baby classical music and a fan so she can go back to sleep(please please please please). If not I put on Franklin or Strawberry Shortcake and weep while I prepare the first person's breakfast and fresh laundry.
Everyone gets breakfast in bed, it is my honor, fresh laundry from the dryer, a really big hot lunch(hot breakfast as well, no cold breakfasts here).
Then cleaning, cooking, baking. Then put Hasia down and begin to write.
Then foolishly come on this site. sigh.
Then ministery to those in my care, fighting for children's rights, etc.
I end my day around eleven unless by some miracle I can lay down earlier and sink into a gentle coma. The next morning more of the same. Seven days a week. I probably would freak out to not be in a routine anyway.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/4741340.stm) is an article that you may find interesting.

[rachel]

oh yay,now I have something more to worry about. You are such a dear xc, hugs and kisses and now I am afraid to go to sleep or get up or move in case my internal clock gets even wierder than it is.
After four and a half years on graveyard shift it honestly took me nearly one whole year after going to bed in complete darkness, to learn to fall asleep before morning when I would normally have been off work and feeling drowsy.

where is that duvet, I NEED IT RIGHT NOW.

[Virgil]

Everyone gets breakfast in bed, it is my honor, fresh laundry from the dryer, a really big hot lunch(hot breakfast as well, no cold breakfasts here).

Breakfest in bed? In fourteen and a half years of marriage I have never had breakfest supplied to me in bed. :( But then again, I don't think I've made it for her either. ;)

[IrishCanadian]

You guys make me feel lazy.
Did someone mentin the sleeping habits of a student? I thought so! I don't need to say more.

Are you serious? lol Can I have breakfest? Don't have to be in bed i'm just hungry. I never eat in the morning. I don't have time. I wake up, make my coffee, drink it, then get ready and out the door within 20-25 minutes time.

[sdr4jc]

So, you're telling us that those times occur twice a day? Where have I been!! I thought 4:45 only happened in the afternoons! :lol:

[sdr4jc]

My cats get me up. Who needs an alarm clock when there's two starving cats in the room with you? They stand in my blinds, they knock the stuff off my dressers, they pick fights with each other, they stand on my head, they make biscuits in my hair, they jump up on the headboard, they howl like they've been hit by a truck, they walk ON my body to get across the bed, they take turns in the litter box, they get back in the blinds, Nubbins talks to the birds outside, Callie sits by my face and looks at me--for hours on end, they jump to the floor and sound like bowling balls when they hit...

was I the one who said cats are great? Because I think I might modify that statement...

[MexThorn]

I want a cat. I used to have a cat when I got him I didn't know if he was a boy or a girl so I named him Fluffy then found out it was a boy so he kinda had a girl name lol. Fluffy was like a dog though. I have 2 dogs a 1 year old Cockapoo and a 8 year old Shi-Zu. Fluffy would eat dog food, go outside with the dogs, and even sleep in the cage with my cockapoo. One day I put him out to use the bathroom and he never came back.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

they make biscuits in my hair

sdr4jc,

Surely you've heard that phrase! Cats exercise their toes, alternating paws, usually during which their eyes roll in the back of their sweet heads, and it looks like they're kneading bread or "making biscuits" I'm sure you've seen it! It's adorable. ;)

[Scheherazade]

In someone else's house - I didn't want to make too much noise but sheesh that stunk.I tend to get up early as well but I love it if no one else is awake because it means that I can stay in bed and read! This is one of my favorite times of the day when I do most of my reading.

[Chava]

Morning person... though my avatar suggests differently... I get up around 6 everyday, and bike 9 km for school, it's pretty cold outside now, and so i too am fairly awake in the mornings. besides, there's nothing as good as having taken care of everything that needs dealing with before 10. that way the day is yours!

Kneading bread I've heard of, making biscuits never found it's way into my vocabulary. Besides, I'm too busy eating kittens to watch them cook - ask anyone! ;)

EATING KITTENS??? What in the world do you mean by that??????

[sdr4jc]

Eating Kittens!!! NO


No

[Xamonas Chegwe]

It's too convoluted a story to go into - but I have this reputation for eating kittens - I could deny it. But then again, if it wasn't true, I wouldn't need to deny it, would I? ;)

[Whifflingpin]

I think it is terrible that you eat kittens.

You should wait for them to grow to a decent size mouthful, and have enough of a pelt to make into gloves.

.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

You have obviously never tasted the exquisite perfection that is week-old kitten. And if you eat enough of them, there's plenty of pelts for a coat, let alone mittens!

[beer good]

Nah, on second thought, forget it. That was a dumb joke, and I'll hate myself in the morning.

[simon]

Sooo...does it taste like chicken? What with the enormity of other oddities of the animal kingdom being eaten only to taste the blandness of chicken, if a kitty cat takes after such stock then why bother when chicken is cheaper.

[higley]

Eww.

I set my cell phone alarm for about a half hour before I actually need to get up, because I am addicted to the snooze button. :)

[rachel]

yay Higley,miss you.

How COULD YOU GUYS. THAT IS NOT EVEN A TINY BIT FUNNY. I have tears in my eyes. poor poor kitties.poor little kitties. I still love you all but how could you.

I am going out into the dark in ten minutes to find a kittie to hug, and hide.

im really a mornming person but I ve sort of forgoten that latley (and been bad tempered alot) but am getting back to normal. I used to get up at 430 and do homework and things before going to school bu now, I get up at 530 to come here. well and to insure I have my breakfast in peace before the hoards awaken.

[Kaltrina]

I am a morning person too... but during winter I have some difficulties waking up and especially when sleeping too much. I usually wake up at 6 and get ready for my bus which is at 7:30... and set off for work :D
But during this winter I am setting my alarm at 6:00 so I can wake up at 6:30... My mom didn't understand why I do that, and she laughed when I told her that I set the alarm at 6:00 because when I hear the alarm I know I have half an hour more to sleep and that is the best... :D
I sometimes wake up with my eyes still shut, and when I get to the bathroom and clean my face, it is then when I open my eyes for the first time in the morning and I see my crazy hair in the mirror... :lol: :lol: but I don't get scared because that is what I see every morning, and I am used to that image... :D
and the worst thing is that I always plan to sleep a lot on weekends and I end up waking early... :rolleyes: :)

[Virgil]

Well that's fine for now, but what happens when you get married and your poor husband sees that morning hair and gets frightened? ;)

[Kaltrina]

:lol: I guess I will have to keep my hair in order then... :D *whispering* I'll be more careful... *giggling*

[Riesa]

Ha! just wait 'till you have a baby and you are covered in spit-up and you haven't slept all night.(for three months) The true test of a husband's love. And oh Virgil, I am sure that YOU wake up in the morning fresh as a peach. ;)

[Kaltrina]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[MexThorn]

:lol: I guess I will have to keep my hair in order then... :D *whispering* I'll be more careful... *giggling*
Morning hair... My morning hair wakes up everyone in the house! I have black hair with white and dark red highlights, I use a lot of gel so when I wake up in the morning my hair has shifted into 1764656486458 different shapes it's like constellations of stars all over my head. :p

[Koa]

I'm not a morning person but I'm not even an afternoon person... I really dislike to waste all of the morning sleeping, so these days I try to get up at 9:30 even if I have nothing really to do... but sometimes it doesn't work before 10 or after that - also because I tend to go to bed quite late.
I haven't had a regular eraly wake up time for long periods, since school. And for the periods I've had jobs which started in the morning, I was lucky enough as they started at 9 so I could sleep until 7:30 or more and go out at 8:15 or even later...

But I need a lot of sleep, so if I regularly have to get up early (early to me means before 9), I need to go to bed quite early, like no later than 11pm (even if I often dont sleep well so it's a question fo quantity rather than quality to me...)... I wake up only once a day, that means I can't take naps, I wasnt able to do that even at kindergarten when we were forced to. So even if I've had little sleep, I wait for the following night. There's this theory that a person averagely needs 8 hours of sleep per night, and since we heard that, me and my best friend are psychologically tainted ;) We just feel bad if we know we can't sleep that long, even if it's just psychological. However, I know I tend to feel good with 8-9 hours of sleep, sometimes 7 if I got used to a schedule... But I envy people who don't sleep much, who get up early and are really active in mornings...

My brother is practically a sleepwalker until mid-morning, not only he can't speak when he 's just woken up, he can't even listen! ;)

[Ryduce]

I'm a morning person, if by morning you mean 1:00 PM.

[Anon22]

:lol: I guess I will have to keep my hair in order then... :D *whispering* I'll be more careful... *giggling*

:lol: that's funny... you better, otherwise the husband will think he got drunk and woke up with another woman or something... x)

I think I'm suppose to be a morning person by nature... I love waking up in the morning... but I think I'm starting to become more of a nightowl.. so... I'm starting to wake up at like... what? noon?

[Virgil]

Ha! just wait 'till you have a baby and you are covered in spit-up and you haven't slept all night.(for three months) The true test of a husband's love. And oh Virgil, I am sure that YOU wake up in the morning fresh as a peach. ;)
No, I'm no peach. But I would have to say that I'm up before my wife 99% of the time.

[Riesa]

Well, that is something. Poor, poor. ;)

[Pensive]

I am awake while everyone else at my home is sleeping. I am going for picnic today and I have learnt how to use Professional camera. It is gonna be a good day!

Oops, I should have posted it in What are you thinking now or random thought.

[Riesa]

Yay, that sounds great Pensive. Sounds like a wonderful way to wake up, with a great day to look forward to.

[Mililalil XXIV]

I just notice I'm not sleeping. Not at all!

[woeful painter]

I literally jump out of bed from the left side...just after kissing my beloved's pic under my pillow and wishing her a good day :D

[Mililalil XXIV]

Offended at my own lack of sleep.

[ShoutGrace]

Routinely.

I'm very persistent about waking up. I have this tenacious, unrelenting ability to awake nearly every day.

[dramasnot6]

Usually i lie in bed for a few minutes thinking about what i have to do today

[Poetess]

Usually I wake up at 12, 1, or sometimes 2 PM!
But when I have to wake up early, like for school or an appointment I wake up ALARMED!!!! It`s bloody annoying.
I lie for some minutes in bed.
I`m a night fan. I wake at night and sleep at daytime, especially in Summer when I can`t stand it in the morning.

[dramasnot6]

Wow, poetess! I wish i could sleep in like you! But i somehow find it really difficult. Ever since i started running i can never sleep in past 7:30, and even that is rare.

[subterranean]

I wake up 03.30 AM in workdays and around 05.00 AM in Saturday (for jogging) or 06.00 AM (if I don't feel like jogging). In Sunday, I wake up around 04.30 AM. I ussualy go to bed around 11.00 PM or after midnight in weekend. In conclusion, I can be classified as those who don't have any issue with waking up in the morning. :D This is merely because I don't sleep much.
And I hardly have bad mood in the morning...

[Koa]

I envy those who need so little sleep. Waking up before 8 classifies at torture for me. 9 is much better, 10 or 11 is perfect :blush: Like these days of holidays, I've been waking up at about 11 and going to bed at about 1 or 2. Yes, I need THAT much sleep :( :oops: But it will be over tomorrow, damn assignments to write :(
Before this holiday, and after this when I'll get back to routine, I used to get up at 8.15 or 8.45 depending on what time I had to be at work/class, and I usually went to bed around midnight or half past midnight, sometimes later but that made it really hard to get up lol.
Basically, sub's lifestyle is simply amazing to me :eek2:
But subby, why do you get up so disturbingly early even on weekends? To keep the rhythm? On weekends I always sleep as much as I can :D

Sub! Are you a fellow jogger? :D yay! how long have you been at it for? How often do you go? By which mile do you get that incomparable endorphin "high" that i myself am so addicted to?:p

I'm not really a jog fanatic. :D And I'm so bad with distance so I don't really know how many miles in general I could run. How 'bout you, drame? When I was in college and had college vacation, I ran almost every morning. But now I can only run in Saturday.

morning~~~
I dislike waking up early in the morning~ but I have to get up because I have to go to class~~~ Usually, I have three clocks. The first one rings, I continue to sleep for 10 minutes, and the second rings, I still don't want to get up, and the third one rings, I tell meself just continue to sleep for 5minutes... as the result, I am late to school~~ Lucky, I used to walking quickly, so I came in classroom with the ringing bell.

Hahaha. Though we be on opposite sides of the earth, moonface, somethings are always the same. :)

When we don't report to school the next day, I sleep at 2 A.M. (because of you guys) and wake up at 9:00. Alarm clocks have given up on me so I use my 11-yr. old brother to wake me by rolling me a few times on the bed 'til I get my eyes to open to ask what the time is. And then he starts giving me the routinely report of what everybody is doing downstairs (a habit he's so used to he doesn't wait for me to ask anymore.). Everybody is awake by that time. I'm the latest to get up simply because I'm the latest to sleep (except when my dad gets home later than 2 A.M.). And then I creep down quietly and wash my face. I eat a banana then I (sometimes) do a bit of exercise - stretching and sit-ups - for about an hour. But more when I know I have projects and auditions coming. I've also been a fan of Active Kidz with Scott and Amy! Their activities can really make you run out of breath. We love them both!

Then I continue my breakfast (it depends on my dad what we're going to have but I dig cereals a lot. Koko and Cookie Crisp.)

And then I call it a morning. ;)

[Pendragon]

Well my wife doesn't ever wake up grumpy in the morning. She lets me sleep in! :lol:

[Poetess]

Wow, poetess! I wish i could sleep in like you! But i somehow find it really difficult. Ever since i started running i can never sleep in past 7:30, and even that is rare.

It is tiring, I mean to sleep for a real long time! I wake up knackered :P
I wish I were this active person who wakes up early to go jogging!

[BibliophileTRJ]

How do I wake up in the morning?

The simple answer is: BADLY

For reasons unbeknownst to me, sleeping makes me grumpy. Alarm goes off at 5:30am & I FORCE myself out of bed. My partner and all those that I work with know better than to speak to me before noon and two pots of coffee. Even a short nap (a VERY rate occurence) will turn me into an ogre for a minimum of 5 hours.

How my sweetheart puts up with me I will never know.

My roommates used to beg me not to nap because I would wake up in such a monsterously bad mood, they would promise to take me to the mall or to a movie, anything just to keep me awake. It gave me great power over them. :D :p

[Poetess]

^^ hahahaha, it makes me a monster if I`m woke up by a person :=

[toni]

My body alarm clock wakes up at 6.30am no matter how late I slept the last night. And the air is usually cool and crisp and the soft, warm rays of sun have touched my feet,then I read what book Im currently reading at that time for 30 minutes and then I go down to wash my face and I do my exercises for half an hour. After that, I turn on the computer to check my mail and to play on Litnet for a little while while I eat my breakfast. And when
I'm finished I read the newspaper and study/read or write afterwards..:lol:

[Lily Adams]

I have been uselessly trying to get up at 5:00 am for about a year, but I can't do that.

I usually wake up at 7:30, but lately I have been having troublesome bouts of insomnia, so I have been waking up as late as 10:00 or 11:00. Today I woke up at 9:00, though.

Well, enough of that. On to my morning routine. Well, I make a cup of tea, (Usually English with some milk) and I eat breakfast which is usually Cheerios with fruit on top or toast with apple butter spread on it.

[Nightshade]

well, Im a morning person I ove morning but I do get bad tempered if annoying people talk and disturb the general pweace that is mornings, so Im a student now and generally wake up much later like 11 30 if I dont have a lectur except saterday when I need to wake up at 4 have breakfast comeonline and get myself raedy for the taxi at 620 and on the 7 oclock then hike a mile and am in for work 45 minutes before Im due to be b ut there is only one train an hour, it does give me time to chjoode books though.

[moonface]

Yeap, but this morning, I have to get up earlier because I have to go to class. Unfortunately, I went to bed so late that I feel tired the whole day. In addtion, because of the earthquake, I even can't open English websites untill the middle night. Ha, I go to sleep late again~ anyway, have a good dream to all!

Was there an earthquake there? I had not seen anything in the morning news. Hope everyone is well.

[Laindessiel]

No Uncle Virg. The earthquake was in Taiwan and the Internet connection lines were chopped off and cut! All the nearby countries, including mine, has been affected by the connections. It's just lucky I'm still LitNetting. I wonder why is that. I can't visit Google, Yahoo and other sites. Maybe LitNet has an earthquake-proof power? ;)

[Virgil]

But when did the earthquake happen?

[Laindessiel]

Just this morning. I haven't watched the full details of the news yet but some were hurt by the incident, Uncle Virg. We pray for them.

[Madhuri]

Read about it here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/default.stm)..

[Laindessiel]

I can't open you link Mads. Internet won't budge with other sites. It's just lucky LitNet is alive. I really wonder why.

[Madhuri]

This is what it says


Taiwan's largest telephone company, Chunghwa Telecom Co, said damage to an undersea cable had disrupted 98% of Taiwan's communications with Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong.

Repairs could take three weeks, Vice-General Manager Lin Jen-hung said, but quality would improve daily.



Telecommunications companies in Hong Kong, Japan and China also reported problems.

China's biggest telecoms provider, China Telecommunications Group, said that communications cables to the US and to Europe had been damaged.

"Internet connections have been seriously affected, and phone links and dedicated business lines have also been affected to some degree," it said.

In South Korea, broadband provider KT Corp said six submarine cables had been affected, interrupting services to customers including banks.

Some foreign exchange trading was reportedly affected.

"Trading of the Korean won has mostly halted due to the communication problem," a dealer at one South Korean domestic bank told Reuters news agency.

Several companies have warned of slow internet access over the next few days.

In Taiwan, rescue workers were searching through rubble for people injured in the earthquake.

Two members of a family died in Hengchun when their house collapsed, Taiwanese officials said

The earthquake came on the second anniversary of the Asian tsunami, which claimed almost 250,000 lives.

[Laindessiel]

Oh I see. Thanks for the thoughtfulness Mads. But three weeks??? It couldnt've gone faster than that, huh? My goodness. How are we supposed to live...

[Madhuri]

Yes, I think three weeks is fast enough, as a huge network has gone down. But dont worry, you still have access to litnet. And, we are safe here...:)

[Laindessiel]

Yes, I'm grateful for that. Although no mail-checking will drive my mom nuts! She relies her work on her mails! And no other sites? Wow, that's pretty hard.

[Poetess]

True, three weeks are fast to such a huge problem.

[moonface]

For me, both are good news and bad news.
good news:
There are many websites can't open, and we can't submit our assignment and the due day delays, we have more time to prepare it.
bad news:
We can't research information on the internet! still can't work~~~
