Moment 154 - Jamil

Super typhoon Haiyan or locally known as typhoon Yolanda brought havoc along its path with gusty wind reaching as much as 300kph.  It seemed like it wanted to get rid of anything and everything in its path.  Those who happened to experience its wrath has their own ordeal to deal with and stories to share that will last their lifetime because this happened to be the worst typhoon they've experienced so far.

It was good that the next day, it was a clear and sunny day much to the relief of those who survived and heavily affected.  But the aftermath of the super typhoon is a sight that no one watns to see or be happy about.

Everyone in our locality started to get busy with their clean up drive the following day.  Very early in the morning, even before the sunrise, people were already lining up the streets cleaning their own respective areas of concern.

With so much trees brought down to the ground, garbage scattered everywhere.  But for kids like Jamil, everything seems like a play to them.  With the pile of leaves waiting to be collected or burned, the kids find time to paly with it and make fun of the moment.  Just watching the kids play, no matter how affected one was with the onslaught of the super typhoon, the kids provide some reasons for us to smile despite of the tragedy.
