worried again

I've never followed the news as religiously as I did since the shelling of Yeon pyeong island on Nov. 23. News about the tension in the Korean peninsula is my daily read and today, my husband and I were glued to Naver for updates since 1pm. Today is the live fire drill that the north was so opposed to enough to promise military actions against the south. The live fire exercise was delayed for one and a half hour because of the fog. It started at 2:30 pm when the fog cleared.

I'm not one to panic but it sure makes me antsy with the threat of war more real than before. My mom's worries will surely be renewed once she hears about this. She'll barrage me with endless pleas to move to the philippines once more while i continue to assure her (in vain) that her fears won't come true. I've been trying to convince myself the same thing as my worries grow. I've been trying to laugh it off when somebody expresses their worries in order to quell their and my fears as well. There's nothing much we can do today but hope for the best.
