The previous post talked about food preparedness before a disaster because it is extremely important to keep an emergency supply of foods in case something bad happens. This post, however, will deal with what to do after a disaster. Disasters like fires, earthquakes and floods can cause so much confusion and during the aftermath, you may not know where to start.Then again you and your family have to eat, so it’s a good idea to know what to do during those events so you’ll know what foods are still safe to eat and what aren’t.

Keeping Food Safe. Food and water may not be safe to eat and cook after a typhoon disaster because they may be contaminated with micro-organisms that can cause illnesses like diarrhea and amoebiasis. Read the rest of this entry »

Days after Typhoon Sendong (international name: Washi) hit our city, Cagayan de Oro, thousands of people became sick. Plenty of those who lived in affected areas and those living in evacuation centers started to get sick with cough, colds and diarrhea. Worse enough, a lot of people contracted more serious diseases such as Typhoid fever and Leptospirosis. In fact, a little over two weeks after the disaster, an outbreak was declared in the city because hundreds of people were admitted to the hospital with Leptospirosis. Unfortunately, a lot of them died, too. Read the rest of this entry »

The floodwaters brought about by Typhoon Washi waned on the wee hours of December 17, Saturday – so we were finally able to sleep at around 5 AM. When I woke up just before lunch there was no electricity, no internet connection and no water Read the rest of this entry »

During the previous post, I talked about our lack of personal preparedness for the typhoon and how we spent almost an hour putting together personal disaster survival supplies. The last post also had some tips on what to do during and prior to a possible disaster and the fifth tip focused on emergency preparedness kits or survival kits, which I will delve into better in this post.

Looking back, we weren’t really prepared during that night when Typhoon
Sendong struck. None of us were. People slept during the night and never
really woke up – nobody was vigilant at all. Read the rest of this entry »

After that 1 A.M. call, I received several other calls from friends and family from all over the city. Flood levels varied depending on the location but the question raging through my mind was, would the floods reach our home? And if the floods did reach our home, how high would the waters be?

I live in Cagayan de Oro, a small yet booming city in the northern coast of Mindanao – the southernmost of the three main island groups in the Philippines. Located at the west side of the Pacific Ocean, the Philippines is no stranger tropical cyclones or typhoons, with several of them entering the country’s area of responsibility each year, bringing about heavy rains, strong wind and floods.

Daniel asks…
Who manufactures Designers Guild Violet Varese fabric?
I want to buy something similar to Designers Guild Violet Varese Velvet, an exact colour match is essential – however, this fabric is very expensive. Is there a “non branded” alternative that is more cost effective? Who manufactures this velvet range, as presumably Designers‘ Guild do not make their own fabric.
affair answers:
There isn’t an equivalent
Michael asks…
Where’s the cheapest place to buy the latest Designers’ Guild fabric?
affair answers:
Http://www.designersguild.com/uk/store/ is probably the best.
Other than that it’s just House of Fraser, Selfridges London, Norwich or abroad.
Sorry.
James asks…
I’m the head of this Clique (the books)/designer guild. Any ideas for activities and contests?
affair answers:
You could have a raffle or all enter contests online at Baby Boomer Contests!

Carol asks…
Would Yahoo be good for a WoW guild website and how do you get forums on it?
Let me just start with hi and thanks for the future help. I’m looking into getting a website for my world of warcraft guild hosted by Yahoo, I was wondering if they provide good service for a fairly novice website designer looking for a guild website. Also, I need to know(if I do choose them) how to get forums as part of my website, because we’ll need them 
.
Thanks again in advance
affair answers:
The good thing about Yahoo is you get your website featured in search engine results of Google and Yahoo both – only if your content is interesting. I paid only $1.99 to get my domain registered here so far, and my website http://www.sayakboral.com/ shows pride of place very first the moment I type my name on the keypad.
Yahoo is a BIG NAME – so stick with them if you want your website to get noticed! I also have ambitious plans and I really like their simple mechanism. Also, they have a toll-free small business number helpline and staff is very helpful.

Ken asks…
Design Star?
I don’t know if anyone on here watches “Design Star” on HGTV, but I do and it’s my favorite show. Anyways, I was wondering what anyone who has watched the show (and enjoyed it) had to say about last nights winner, Kim. I think she’s a nice person (personally I think Todd was starting to milk the whole star thing), but I would rather have Todd do my room, he would come up with something totally cool. What are your oppinions?
affair answers:
I love the show . I was very disappointed when Sparkle Josh was eliminated so early.
As far a Kim and Todd go they were both talented Designers and nice people.
For me though Todd’s designs were more works of art than rooms that I would actually want to live in. They were pretty but sometimes the art superseded the functionality of the room . But Todd definitely thought outside of the box and that can be a good thing maybe just not all of the time when it comes to interior design.
Kim was a more grounded Designer who was consistent with her design skills. I would definitely want to spend time in her rooms.
I would of liked to of seen more from Sparkle Josh he went home too soon.
Maria asks…
design star?
i didn’t get to see the last design star can someone please tell me who got voted off?
affair answers:
Tracee and Mikey V. Both got eliminated. Tracee was the project / team leader for the challenge which was a kitchen makeover. She did a poor job of time management and overall direction of the design of the team. The remaining four contestants were judged on their hosting ability since there really was no design in the project. Jennifer and Trish were really good in their hosting so the second elimination came down to Mikey V. Or Matt. Mikey V. Never warmed up to the camera or made eye contact and always seemed nervous. Matt was informative but monotone. In the end it was Mikey V. Who was sent home.
The contestants knew right from the beginning that it would be a double elimination – it wasn’t a shocker or surprise ending.
William asks…
How do you get on Design Star?
I want to be on design star so bad. how old do you have to be though? im only 16. i haven’t done any real design work but i love and it and i have a computer program all the time. what could i do to build a portfolio while still in school?
affair answers:
It’s like anything else, you gotta start somewhere. You will however need to have some work to show. The thing that put me in thre right direction was to get a part time job in a furniture store, carpet store, blind store, paint store, etc., anywhere that sells products for design purposes. Customers will ask for your opinion about their purchases. You can build a clientelle. Not all customers will appreciate your particular design style, but Many Will! This is what designers do; they advise and sell product. You could also enroll in some design related classes at your community college and do this one or two nights per week. Do not let others tell you that youare too young. I audited college level courses at 12 years old. Get the support of your parents. They should be hapopy that you have goals. General Construction is also an area where I believe that I have an edge over other designers who do not usually have much knowlege in. Many designers dream up stuff for builders to make, and without drawings or material plans your builder will be frustrated with you. Better to know how to construct, measurements, materials, etc. This will help you. Drafting classes are probably offered in your high school or community college and still help me now at the age of 49. Formal education is not absolutely necessary, but it will make your journey Much Easier in the long run. Just Some education in related fields will open doors and get you connected with the right people who can further your aspirations. Check out ASID requirements and begin meeting them. This will get you real work. Good luck!
George asks…
What would be a good star design for a tat?
My mom and I are getting matching star tats on our feet (that’s the only place she will get one). I have looked on alot of websites and in tons of books and haven’t really found one I love. I don’t really like the nautical stars and we want the design to be in black. Any suggestions?
affair answers:
IM A BIG FAN OF STAR TATTOOS!!
Heres a few pics of mine, just to give you an idea.

Richard asks…
Where can I watch full-length episodes of HGTV’s Design Star?
I want to watch full-length episodes of Design Star, but for some reason watching it on hgtv.com doesn’t work on my computer. Is there anywhere else where I can see them?
It won’t play on hgtv.com because it keeps saying I don’t have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player even though I just downloaded it. I tried restarting my computer, but it still doesn’t work. Is there any way to fix that?
affair answers:
You can go to http://mytvshowdownloads.com
Good luck!
