Whew! atlasts! Im back, It's been 1 week and 3 days before the electric power supplying our area has come to life. Main reason why : Because of typhoon "Cosme" that hits fiercely Dagupan and nearby places. I can still remember the flying debris, roofing, panaflex and anything that has damaged house walls, glasses, doors and gates. The wind is hurling seems like shouting out loud to release its power. I think the typhoon comotion lasted for 5 hours resulting more damaged to properties and natural resources. After the strong wind finally lessen its power, I have noticed some individual rushing to and fro to gather materials most likely from their own home but many others have gathered materials not belong to them. I just can't believe that in the face of adverse nature attack there were still individual who can't hold themselves to be greedy and claiming what other people owns. Me alone experienced that thing when our neighbor had pulled off some roof hanging from our house and claim it as his own. I let go of that materials but I also prayed that God will give mercy on us. I have taken pictures from damages but I think my camera is not working good when i accidentally drop it. I have brought it to service center and I hope some data if not all will be saved. My biggest thanks and bow to those person who remains honest in the face of adversity.

Kabaleyan, that was really a devastating typhoon! It's probably nature's wrath for us, people who keep hurting our planet! It's sad that in such situation some people could become so greedy, as you have mentioned.

I just wondering if someone could get killed out of that, I have noticed several men arguing about who owns the roof they've got, the other one holds off knife against a "Batuta". Not funny? Huh!! hirap maging filipino hehehe!!
