Typhoon Haiyan or Yolanda's Impact in Visayas

Updating this for fellow Filipinos who have loved ones in Ormoc City and Aklan like I did. 

I'm writing this on behalf of my family members who is in a location where "typhoon Haiyan" or "Yolanda have great impact" . 

"Typhoon Haiyan" or Yolanda is the "strongest typhoon" that ever hit our nation today, November 8, 2013. I have never been so worried in my whole life considering that we always experience typhoon in the country. My brother and his family are in Ormoc City right now and I'm so worried about them since communication is down since the morning of November 8. The last time we heard of them was last night and all I've been hearing and seeing in Facebook are worried family members who can't communicate with loved ones. One thing that made me worried is the video I've seen on Facebook and local news where roof top of houses have been blown away by winds and cars as well. I can't imagine how my brother and his family doing right now. If I was devasted to that video, how about them. I even heard that there's an alert news for Ormocanons to be vigilant of any possibility of floods. 

Above photos I've obtained from Facebook showing the market and plaza in Ormoc City which is just beside the sea. As you can see, trees, roof top and cars have been blown away. 

As per local news, it was said that typhoon Haiyan or Yolanda have landed 5 times already as of 5 PM Manila time. I was talking with my dad around 11 am, everything is still good and he's asking me on how to download radio on his Iphone because electricity will be out in the afternoon. Sometime around 12 pm Manila time, the typhoon has landed in Aklan. I witnessed it via our videocall thru Face time. The trees at the back of our house is swaying madly back and forth. At around, 1 pm, I called again and he told me that roof top of a neighbor's house has been blown away. It was really bad as I can see on the video call. I asked him to take videos and upload it in Facebook, but he told me he can't since he has low battery and he's saving it for later. By around 2 pm, I could not receive any message coming from my dad and mom in Aklan. 

Aftermath Photos of Yolanda in Ormoc City:

I checked Facebook, my sister who's in Singapore right now, was able to get photos of the aftermath of Yolanda or Haiyan in Ormoc. 

   

   

  

I've pulled together some photos from a friend in Facebook of the aftermath in Ormoc City. Credits to the owner of these photos whoever he or she might be. 

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

I hope and pray that everything is alright, that my brother and his family is okay and as well as my mom and dad too. I'll make an update here for any news from them. 

Just an update, as of 8pm, my dad communicated with me and told me that Typhoon Yolanda or Haiyan is still in Aklan and still strong but getting milder. He told my sister that roof top of neighbors' houses has been destroyed, post lights fall down, railings and rooftops of the basketball court near our house have been destroyed too. But no news yet of any casualties or injuries in our hometown. Thank God, they're okay. One thing my dad is worried of about my brother in Ormoc City which up until now we couldn't call, communications are still down. But I've heard some of them are able to call their loved ones via Smart Commuications. Just keep on trying and dialling until the call gets connected. I'm hoping everyone is okay.

I know and feel in my heart that my brother and his family is safe right now. Hope and pray that all is well. 

Update, November 9, 2013:

I gathered this information from friends and common friends of mine in Facebook who was able to get hold some information from their friends and loved ones in Ormoc City. I'm relying on this information as well since I have no contact with my brother and his family until now. 

  

 I obtained this from Ormoc Tambayan account in Facebook, credit to the person who shared this info.

  

                                   I obtained this from Ormoc City, Leyte group

  

                                   This is from a common friend of mine in FB

  

                                          This is from the same post as above.

One thing is for sure that Ormocanons is in difficult situation right, they are in dire need of water, foods, clothing, temporary shelter like tents, anything for hygiene. They need help right now. And I do hope that the big telecommunication networks must do something asap to resolve the problem in signal or connection so we can communicate with our love ones soonest. We couldn't sleep unless we are able to hear that they are safe. And I hope too, that there is a centralized information for us to check the persons who are safe right and whose houses are destroyed.

Why My Blog's Name is Mixed Blogs 2010 while my URL didn't Matched it!

I know a lot of you who are new or old guests on my blogs, might notice that my blog's title is different with my URL. 

Title: Mixed Blogs 2010

URL: http://iloveblogging-increasetraffic.blogspot.com

To answer that, let me just go back just a little in time. 

Way back in 2010, i started joining blogger because I got curious and hubby strikes on me. For those, who doesnt know me, by profession, I am inclined to legal matters and politics. That's why if you noticed, most of my posts pertains to personal view about some hot topics in the metro, more politically inclined. But, boredom and versatility strikes on me, that I decided to write other things which excites or interests me. CIRCUMSTANCES DO CHANGE NOT PEOPLE. When it happens, boredom will hit you hard up to a point where your unable to make something out of something. If you know what I know. (Hoping) So I stopped blogging for a while and employment opportunity knocks on me. So i joined the labor force for two years without extra minute to spare and opened my blog. Abandonement sets in. Up until I surf the net one day and came across an interesting blog post. That blog gave me light, an inspiration to write again. 

Enough with the story, answer the question! :)

Present time: As I log back, I was amazed to see how many have visited and as to what posts they have been interested into. So I decided to clean it up,  make more personal. Since I've different topics, I decided to change my blog name into Mixed Blogs 2010 instead of iloveblogging. Without thinking much of the consequence, when ahead to Setting and changed it. It was successful though since I'm seeing the title on the URL. Not thinking much about technically matters. Then, went to Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools. Added the new URL, verification process and other techy matters.  But then I noticed, that Im not receiving any datas on the new URL and the old one. I kept thingking what went wrong and read the guidelines on Google. Honestly, I was having a hard time figuring out everything and what should I do because some of the pages on my blogs and giving me 404 errors. And when I tried to add sitemap to my new URL, which I got from xml-sitemap.org, test it on Google Webmaster Tool, failed and give me an HTML error. And it is not giving me any stats for traffic or any data at since I did the change. By the way, as per research, the best sitemap is from xml-sitemap.org, it won't post any problems as long as there's no issue on your blogs end like in my case. For two days, I kept on reading and testing but to no avail, failed again. For awhile, I distract myself with other interesting topics. 

So I thought hard, ( LOL! ), when did the problem occured? What did I do? Those questions played on my head. Told myself, why not bring it back to its previous status quo! 

And I did, which I believe though, not 100% sure, that it resolved my dilemma. I change it back to my old URL and viola, webmaster tool automatically gave me the button to resubmit my sitemap. Success! 

By the way, I'd like to share to you the error on my webmaster tool page. Sorry though, I wasn't able to get a photo at the initial issue, this is after I made the change. 

     

      

After clicking the resubmit button, no errors were found. Delighted and relief. This is why I opted for legal since I hate technical matters, funny but I previously work before in a company dealing with both technical and general matters. :)

Anyway, guys, if you're an A student on this matter, feel free to comment and make a suggestion about what I did and if there's any missing link which I didn't notice or failed to do, please let me know, because I'm really not familiar with it. Still learning. If you have any suggestions, please do comment away, I would highly appreciate it. Sorry for the long story, i like beating around the bush. Guilty! O_o
