The equality phrase that dosen’t only apply to blessings received but also the opposite of blessings.

What’s the opposite of blessing anyway? Curse? I’m looking  for another word. Where does a calamity like Milenyo stands?

Is it a blessing that humankind is reminded that we humans are NOT in control however much we like to act like we are? God, Mother Nature, a higher power (whatever or whoever you conceive it to be) IS. So that each of us will be better persons: better daughters, better sons, better parents even better politicians.

After all each one of us, is just a dust in the wind that a cyclone like milenyo sweeps up into mishapen pieces and throws God knows where.

To each his own…is Milenyo God’s (my concept of higher power) hands striking us of what we each deserve? So that we are stricken by how God perceives us to be. Kanyang kanyang kaparusahan, If you’d call it parusa.

Indeed kanya-kanya. Depending on your state of mind, your state of finances and your capacity to produce and the depth of your needs. If you are living in a bahay kubo made of bamboo and nipa, you can rebuild in 3 days. Milenyo even brought you new materials to use, scattered in your backyard under a pile of debris. In the same way that if your house is made of stone it is probably your whole roof (not made of stone) that didn’t hold against milenyo’s strength. So it would take you a month (probably more) to make a new roof. So you stay under the pouring rain for weeks or sleep under what’s left of the neighbor’s roof.

To each his own. While my brothers are rebuilding, cleaning and clearing, problema ko to find an online internet shop so I can publish blog entries in order to buy materials for a roof and sacks of cement for the beam WHILE other net clients here will push and shove for an open PC so that they can access on-line games or chat with their online BFs.

To each his own talaga, GRRRR.

Yung kapitbahay naming balikbayan (asawa ng German) problema niya kung saan ipapalit yung Euro niya, samantalang ako naghahanap ng pambili ng generator dahil 3 months daw walang kuryente. Hayy, buhay alamang…tig-alat na. ;-)
