Amateur Psychics' Thread - My Prediction Came True!!!

If you're a psychic - real, fake, wannabe or just plain nuts, put your predictions here. But just remember, only serious stuffs are allowed here.





Let me start with mine:

[This is actually my second prediction here. The first one was the earthquake in Japan I predicted here last year (2007) which occured after little over a month after my prediction. Click the link below if you're interested.]
http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...tml#post243894

Here it goes:

I saw some sort of an assault, serious ones and probably by terrorists, with explosions probably from bombs but I'm not sure whether they were planted type or 'projectile' type like mortars and howitzer. I'm not sure where the attack will be and my 'predictions' usually centers around Philippines or Japan, but in this case it can be anywhere around the world (of course not including those countries in state of war like Iraq and Afganistan - those won't count as 'predictions' for obvious reasons).


My predictions, if they actually happen, usually happen within about a month or so, but if it doesn't occur in 8 weeks, you can call it a dud. My prediction accuracy rate is around 50-50, or at worst, 30-70.

All right folks, you can call me nuts until I get some of my predictions right. I'll humbly accept it in the meantime. ;D ;)

[I'm very sad to report that there was a huge explosion near our place caused by illegally stored TNT's (dynamites) in one of the apartments here, just about 500-1000 yards from our house - just 19 days after I made my prediction here about 'explosions probably from bombs.' For details, see my report on page 2 starting from post #4]

Rjj UD over Tito next sat.

My wifes a medium, Ive seen it on her knickers ;D

Pacfan, I can see that Pacquaio will win over Marquez in a stunning KO in the tenth. I can also vibe that once in your life you cheat with your wife.I also feel that you had some problem in your work.... hope it's okay now.

hehehe. I've put off my psychic ability before. It's not doing me good. Being a psychic vampire causes me sickness. I usually get the negative vibration.seen some things that are supernatural.

Pacfan, don't use it too often.

It's a natural thing, nothing 'super-' natural as people say. But you're right, better keep it to yourself if you don't want to be called a 'super' nuts.

Have fun pal, I might be flying to Brazil myself next week... just in my imaginations, though.


Ok guys, I'm pretty sure you've all 'predicted' that I'm really bored, and you're all absolutely right!!! Keep your predictions coming, no matter how ridiculous it might be - don't worry, it's all just between, or among, us...

I made pretty good prediction on Skelton vs Chagaev fight, i predicted judges scorecards would be 117-111, 117-111, 118-110, the actual scorecards were 117-111, 117-111, 117-110. I was only 1 point out on a 100 percent prediction not quite 100 percent correct but still a bloody good prediction IMO.

Haha, Icecold, whatta ya doing here? I'd never thought you'd be catching me here. You're already scaring me with those scorings cuz I remember you making one of those complete scorecards for Pac-Marquez fight. If that comes true :'( :'( :'(... Naw, it can't be...

Welcome to the club! :D ;)

+++++[Here's my explanation to my 'note' on my original post above]+++++

Those 'visions' of seers don't usually come out exactly as what's supposed to really happen - they usually comes in form of symbolism. Interpreting those symbols, usually in forms of strange events, is the trickiest part. Some are very easy to interpret, for example the earthquake I predicted here at saddos last year, click the link below if you're interested:

http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...tml#post243894

Earthquake visions simply appears as myself in midst of an earthquake, simple as that. But some are not that simple...

This is for real: last saturday, a politician here was ambused on a 'tricycle' - a motorcycle with fully covered sidecar commonly used here as form of public transportation (I'm sure you've seen one of those on some Asian movies) - where two girls (they're sisters) whom I know very well were also riding! The target politician was DOA while another passenger behind him was badly injured. Fortunately, the two sisters were unscathed but badly shaken. Almost everyone here know who the mastermind is but, of course they just have to keep silent. It was reported on TV here (ch. 2) and also on a newspaper, but I can't give out the detail here as I've given out enough personal info at this site which might just be enough to give away my identity - sorry for being a coward, haha. But for any pinoy here who're interested in the details, let me know on this thread and I'll PM you the details so you can confirm them and be my 'witness.' But only the ones I already know are allowed, absolutely no newbies.

Well anyway, I'll talk about the 'interpretation' part when my self-imposed time limit comes to pass. (Actually, my old time limit was just two weeks, but because of my 'earthquake' prediction mentioned above which happened after about 6 weeks, I increased the time frame to 8 weeks or 2 months.)

okay. pm me bro.i'd like to know if you're for real.hehehe.

Thanks pare! But don't get me wrong, I haven't decided yet whether the incident I mentioned has to do with my 'vision,' though I have to admit it is confusing me a bit. So I guess I have to wait for the deadline I set (that's about 5 more weeks) before I decide. Anyway I'm PM'ing you the detail of the incident not to attest to my prediction but just to confirm the incident I mentioned really happened. I think you know where I'm from, from the 'where are you from' thread couple months back, and that's where the incident happened, just about 100 meters or so away from our place. I'll be PM'ing you now, so you can check it in a little while.

As I stated, I had a vision of an 'explosion probably from bomb,' though I interpreted it 'probably' from a terrorist attack - a case of wrong interpretation, but the vision of explosion - the center of my prediction - was right...

A World War II bomb exploded right here in our town Rosario, Cavite - see 'Where are you from' thread -

http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...tml#post371099

Though, it was little far, about 1000 yards away, we felt our house shake, and right then and there, I knew this was it. Inititial reports say there were several casualties as the bomb exploded in a house in a crowded area. There will be news reports later so I'll try post some links later.

I'm really saddened by these events which I 'forsee' but can't do anything about them. It's really frustrating, especially when there are lots of casualties involved...

it could just be a coincidence pacfan.don't take the blame.

Your not alone. I know that you then feel that it could be your own faith in what you see that has made these things occur.
Now after many disasters and accidents have come to pass , I pray they dont happen and give thanks that they dont as an upfront payment. I have faith in that.
I have gone a stage further and ask and have complete faith in things changing for the better without the visions having to occur and that works too.

I can look at someone in the street who is planning a murder and know they are.
I can tell 90% of serial killers at a glance.
Try looking at a convicted murderer in a photo and cover his right hand side of his face up so you only see his left eye and its surroundings and see what you can tell from it.
There is no love in that eye,no humor,no careing and it stems out further into the face lines and the mouth eventually takes on a nasty cannibal type of look to it.
Now Ive pointed it out my whole family can see what i look for.
The hard ones to tell are the mentaly insane or possessed who have an inbuilt excuse ,dont know that they are committing a wrong like its their right.
Take the guy I have in my sig there, both eyes are eyes of a hard cold killer but he belives in what he did 100% so he is a balanced being.
Its Doc Holliday.

Let me correct the initial report, which was mostly rumors, of the incident. The explosion was caused by dynamites, not vintage bomb as initially reported. It was reported yesterday on two major TV stations here, channels 2 and 7 with video coverage that showed wide destruction of several apartment buildings. Someone here stored tons of illegal TNT's in the apartment that accidentally exploded. If you want see all the news reports of this incident, just type 'rosario cavite january 2008 blast' without the quotation marks on the google search bar, and you will get several local (Philippines) as well as international news about the incident. Although the explosion happened about 1000 yards from our place, the impact was so strong that it tilted our wallclock several degrees off the line!

Thanks for your concern, pareng Bruce. I hope you are right but it just that it happens so often to me that I can't just simply ignore it as a fluke.

Thanks Andre for your insights. You seem to be the only one here seriously interested in the subject so far. Be free to share you're thoughts for all of us here interested in these matters.

I'll discuss a little bit more about these 'visions' of mine. The visions are usually clear in form of some strange events. Interpreting them is the tricky part. In this case I saw the explosion clearly in my vision but wasn't sure what it was all about. Naturally, when it comes to explosions, you usually think of it as some terrorist attack so I speculated that it was 'probably' (take note, I used the word probably in my original prediction) a terrorist attack, which was incorrect. It turned out to be an accidental explosion of illegal explosives. But the proximity of the event to my place should prove that my vision was right after all, nothwithstanding the wrong interpretation. I've PM'd brucelee few days before the event that I am specifically from Rosario, Cavite (Philippines) so he can attest to that. Having a vision of a large explosion and having a real big explosion right in the same area after couple of weeks can't be a simple coincidence, especially as I've had many such visions that came true, including the earthquake in Japan I predicted here last year.

I started to have these visions after long years of practicing meditation which I've learned as a part of my karate training since childhood. I've attained lots of wisdoms also in the course of my martial arts training. I've learned to see some of the secrets on how this world operates in a way most people are not aware of. I'll be sharing some of them here when I have some time.

My big dillemna now is that I'm starting to think whether putting up these predictions for public is right or not as it's starting to bother me because I feel once I've put up these predictions, it's as if I'm waiting for them to happen. But you see I've had lots of these predictions that came true that they seem to be predestined and mine predicting them in public doesn't seem to matter much as they will happen when they do, no matter what anyone does or doesn't. What do you think folks, do you think it's all right for me to make these predictions public? I'm asking this because I'm starting to be bothered by them especially when there are causualties like in this 'explosion' case.

Ask universally that they dont happen, that covers you fully on the spiritual side of things.
What more can you do?

You can see it because that part of you realizes that time isnt linear it runs on circles and without internal measments of then ,now and then , its all one big now.

Picking the exact time in our scale is a tough job like the pacific rim of fire will blow for sure soon a set of massive waves will destroy Sydney and throw sydney harbour bridge inthe air like coat hanger.
hope its not next week Im there for a week!

okay pareng pacfan. make your predictions public so that we will know. we might be able to help you. take it from me, I decided to quit being psychic and it happened. I just don't want anymore to know things ahead of time.

Pacfan do me a favor mate you thought Bautista would beat De Leon in 3 so your *Psyschic* prediction's go out of the window im afraid bruv.


























































Just kidding with you ;)

With the recent great Pacific tsunamis, anything can happen in any part of this world. But this is just a bit too terrifying. If we can gather millions of people and pray that it will not happen, it can be stopped. If all human beings can unite and pray for one thing, than utopia will be here on earth to stay...

Haha, Icecold my boy, I think you were fooled by Mr. Violent D. He was just fibbing. I never said anything like that. The worst I might have said about that is that Boomboom had a good chance of beating him, of course if he can only evade de Leons shot...

which leads me to say this:

This is sort of a disclaimer, and can be a warning particularly for all pac-fans here. Remember this: my fight predictions or analysis here have absolutely nothing to do with this 'psychic' thing of mine. They are just based on my good boxing sense backed up by years of watching and analysing boxing matches, and also with a my very good background in authentic Okinawan karate. So fellow pac-fans, be warned not to take all the things I say as a full truth, especially when it comes to pacman. To tell you the truth, there is lots of bluffery (don't look it up in the dictionary because there is no such word) involved when I talk about pacman - make sure to keep this a secret. ;D ;)

pacfan I also have known somebody (during my seminary days) who was very proud of his Okinawan karate. are you by any chance that somebody?

Pareng Bruce, I'm in a teasing mood so I'm adopting here a policy of neither confirming nor denying. I'll just keep you wondering... ;D ;)

IF you can analyse a fight in a different way and come up with different stuff that no one else is ir has. you would love what we are doing in the trainer section pacfan.

Actually I did talk about 'punching' in one of the threads but nobody took it seriously. But to be honest, it's okay they didn't because I've developed a definite position against promoting boxing, and call me hypocrite if you wish 'cause that's what I am - I love watching it and will continue to do so as long as it exists but I will not be involved in anything that will contribute to any brain damage of any of those poor chaps...

Just as a example, let me discuss a little. This is for anyone who's interested... Karatemen can see some flaws in many boxers and boxers probably can see some against karatemen too if they try to box. But as a karateman I can say that most boxers are lousy punchers. It's probably got to do with their training styles. Boxers start training with gloves, punching soft bags while karateman starts with bare fist punching somewhat harder padded board call makiwara. The best way to describe a good punch is by analyzing how good punchers punch. Among the best punchers of this generation is Felix Trinidad. Some of the best today are Ponce de Leon, Darchinian, Marquez brothers, and perhaps also Katsidis, not to mention Pacquiao. What are the major characteristics of a good punch? For the reason I stated above, I'll just give you one. One prerequisite of a good punch is 'stiffness.' Good punches must be stiff - it must come from a well-cocked or stiffened arms right down to the knuckles. You can see most boxers punch with their arms somewhat flabby and sometimes seems to be just dangling from their bodies. Watch how de Leon or Darch punches. They cock their arms regularly before throwing a big punch. When they 'cock' their arms, they are actually trying to tense or stiffen the arm muscles as much as possible before they fire. Karateman regularly practice muscle tensing, not only of their arms but also their full body, thru excercise call kata. Actually, with right training you don't have to cock your arms repeatedly like de Leon or Darch or Katsidis do 'cause you can almost automatically do that at the right moment... So if you want to see a good punch next time, see how stiff the arms are when punching. If it looks stiff like a piece of hard stick, then it must be good. But remember one thing, this just a drop in the bucket, naw, more like a glassful in the bucket so to speak. There are several other prerequisite of a good punch and 'stiffness' is not even the most important one. But of course I will not discuss it any further for the reason stated above. Sorry about that.:cool:

is that you in the picture, pacfan? if not, then you are a fan of pichay?:o

Some of the best today are Ponce de Leon, Darchinian, Marquez brothers, and perhaps also Katsidis, not to mention Pacquiao. What are the major characteristics of a good punch? For the reason I stated above, I'll just give you one. One prerequisite of a good punch is 'stiffness.' Good punches must be stiff - it must come from a well-cocked or stiffened arms right down to the knuckles. You can see most boxers punch with their arms somewhat flabby and sometimes seems to be just dangling from their bodies. Watch how de Leon or Darch punches. They cock their arms regularly before throwing a big punch. When they 'cock' their arms, they are actually trying to tense or stiffen the arm muscles as much as possible before they fire. Karateman regularly practice muscle tensing, not only of their arms but also their full body, thru excercise call kata. Actually, with right training you don't have to cock your arms repeatedly like de Leon or Darch or Katsidis do 'cause you can almost automatically do that at the right moment... So if you want to see a good punch next time, see how stiff the arms are when punching. If it looks stiff like a piece of hard stick, then it must be good. But remember one thing, this just a drop in the bucket, naw, more like a glassful in the bucket so to speak. There are several other prerequisite of a good punch and 'stiffness' is not even the most important one. But of course I will not discuss it any further for the reason stated above. Sorry about that.:cool:

No we dont get into that in there, we try to take whole fights apart anylitically < thats wrong spelling?) :).
You are a young fella hey?
You should just once while you can ,step into a ring with an above average boxer and see how far our martial arts expertise gets us,
'Its not very far belive me'.
To be honest my kungfu isnt suited to anything other than complete open hand fighting with no rules and we are overpowered in gloves becuase we train for speed and pressure points or the softer lethal targets; your karate is the complete reverse it has more power and becuase of that ,it has many overcomitted actions that boxers can see coming from a mile away and they have the added space left in the guard that it creates.
I think boxers have undiscovered things they could use from both sides of the fence here but there are limits of course.

No argument there. Karatemen will not do well in the boxing ring fighting with boxing rules and gloves, no question about that. But outside the ring in a raw hand-to-hand fight, that's another story. But I have to say that most of the so called martial arts in the western countries are 'fakish' by our standards. If I wear any kind of those mittens they wear on those martial arts fights shown on the tv and hit anyone in the jaw, I can crack it really badly. We train in a very different manner there in Okinawa, the home of karate, where we're routinely brutalized. Our bodies are pounded with heavy sticks during kata exercises and our fists are made really tough hitting hard objects, of course starting gradually from soft to hard. We can take them because the essential part of the routine kata exercises is to stiffen, or tensing of, our whole body - the so-called isometric exercisess - as well as relaxing it, until we learn to control every part of the body at willl. Most people don't know this but when we strike, be it with fists or feet, we put the whole body strenght into it. We even learn few technics that can put anyone to out with just one shot, no kiddin'... By the way, I'm not 'that' young - just pretending to be one.

Very well then. I was just curious if you were Pichay. You know, I hate traditional and corrupt politicians. They're the scums of the Philippines.

a friendly advice, please take that picture away. I just can't imagine myself being a friend to corrupt politicians.Anyway, as far as I know, all politicians in the Philippines are corrupt.I'm praying that there are still some politicians out there who are not corrupt and will not be corrupted by the system.

Anyway, hope our country and politics improve.

Nice to know that you're a good karateka. My sensei before would usually praise me for my strength. May be it's because I know your punching technique. hehehe. Even in the way I kick, he would usually make me a model for his other students.

I miss the giving of belts when we were promoted to higher belt rank. We were really tortured and I had to prepare and practice really hard including stiffening my stomach(abs).hehehe.

Of course not, I just saw someone using Pichay pics as his avatar and had a good laff while thinking who'dever thought of that, so I just gaya-gaya...

Walan pagasa ang pinas. Even now it's a fight between an evil and the lesser evil, not between good and evil.
