Thanks a lot guys!!! hope this will be the last of it... it already wipe out a coastal city so to speak due to storm surge...

Guys, I think this is totally uncalled for during the time of calamity... when almost 95% of Tacloban City which is located in the Central of the Country, was the hardest hit... and she qoute

Unfortunately ER, Ignorance abounds everywhere and although Facebook is tremendous us at bringing us a lot closer in the world through social media it also "brings us a lot closer"...LOL!! Not wanting to turn this thread into a discussion on the lack of social skills from our social media I can tell you that the majority of all postings on FB are useless bouts of ignorance...some more severe than others. As I scrolled through the post I could not help but notice that 90% of the rebuttals, even though they felt wronged, appear to be equally as ignorant. Not a good policy to publicly call for the execution of someone, use more expletives than all the nouns and verbs combined in a sentence and my favorites are the people upset this "teacher" spelled Filipino with a 'Ph" and every other word they wrote was misspelled...kind of the Pot calling the Kettle black while letting the Cat out of the Bag!

When used as a tool to keep in touch with friends and family (and I use this statement loosely as family can cause most of the problems...LOL), FB is fantastic. Sharing common interests is by bringing together people that interested and like minded....Facebook get's an A++! But with all this, the Galactically ignorant people with the limited IQ less than a tissue box and a PC are allowed to freely walk amongst the gene pool with the rest and say what they will and when. Statements about a plethora subjects become abundant and almost unstoppable and the law of averages permits you will run into more than one a day on FB.

Try not to let these post get you worked up...out of the almost 7.2 Billion on this planet you will have a LOT of bad apples...FB brings them all together!! Best countermeasures....go to the top right corner of the person you are at odds with and select the "unfriend" option or simply quickly scroll past as it never existed...I do the scroll option all the time.

Getting things back on track....How are YOU doing? Is your power back on yet?

Crazy, first the earthquake then this horrendous storm. My prayers and best wishes to the people of the Philippines.

Thanks for your opinion, T. Me and Iking live in Manila in the capital city which is not partly affected (Northern Part) as for the news, the LGU announce about almost 10k people are missing... 800 confirmed as per RED Cross, the numbers are not included in the recent earthquake that hit the central part of the country.


Thanks a lot for your prayer's guys!!!

ER, glad you are OK. All of you have been in my thought non-stop...

Yup, good to hear you've been spared the worst. 

Thoughts and prayers for those yet to be so fortunate

ER, glad you and Iking are OK, I did not know he lived close to you. As for the facebook nonsense, I am not really all that surprised altho pretty disgusted; yet another reason why I refuse to have anything to do with facebook.

Regards,
Mark

Thanks for your concerned guys, your thoughts and prayers are much appreciated...

by the way I would like share a video of the aftermath of the city that was hardest hit by the typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda in the Philippines) it was a tourist destination and now the aftermath... and right now there's another incoming tropical storm heading again to the same city... its almost considered a 3 hit combo... once a tourist destination with historical sites...

And us wossy brits and irish complain if we have -Horror- Snow in the winter and rain and wind other times.
I have many friends colleagues frwho are originallly from the Phillipines and some of them are absoloutely beside themselves not knowing what has happened to family members.
Puts things in to a very painful perpective.
