I had a vision of a big explosion! Hope I'm just hallucinating.

Just dropped by to tell about a 'vision' I had while on an intense meditation session, which will be sort of my next prediction.

I saw a great explosion, probably real serious, which means it's not an ordinary thing, maybe something like the 9/11, maybe not that serious, I'm not sure, or like space shuttle disaster, something that doesn't happen often, but again, something real serious. I don't know if it is something natural - volcanoes, supernovas -or- something man-made, accidental or intentional. But I think it'll be in the sky (space?) but not sure, it can happen in the ground, or anywhere. It'll probably happen somewhere between the latter part of February to somewhere in March.

That about sums up what I've seen, in my vision, or in my coke:o induced hallucination, I mean coke as in Coca-Cola (how the heck am I going to find the other 'coke' here in the poor jungles? fools;D;)). And... there's no need for you to build an underground nuclear bomb shelter - not just yet, I can assure you that. Well again, as my ol' cliche' goes, 'in the meantime, just consider it as a hallucination of a boxing fan gone nuts.'

But kiddin' aside, I'm real serious on this one, so make no mistake about it!

Adios fellas, gotta go again. Have a nice day.

Hey bro, I am leaving tomorrow flying back to the great P.I.

Where in the P.I are you!? ;D are you going to watch Nonitos next fight?

Hello buddy, how you've been? Long time no hear. I'm still based in Cavite but 'on leave' for some important business. I've been in Bicol since around New Year, a real undeveloped place deep down the province where there's no internet lines or a cellsite. I'm back here again but I'll have to leave again. I do come back here once in couple weeks or so but have to stay there for a while. Hope to catch you sometime there at Pasig and have some nice chat while chomping on some sumans and sipping some halo-halos. Nonito's fight? I haven't been up to date on local boxing but anyways, I'll probably miss that one together with the Gerry's fight this Saturday. Hope to catch them, though, but I doubt it...

So you're coming to the great pinas? Hope you've gotten over the loss of your cousin. I know how you feel cuz I lost a 21-year old cousin long time ago when a jeepney he was driving was hit by another vehicle. You know what kinda mess the traffic here is so be very careful when you drive, especially motorcycles. There's a motorcycle accident almost everyday here so avoid them if you can. Well anyways, enjoy your trip and have a nice vacation.

I'll try to watch both gerry and nonitos fight, nonito has a fight next month. Its funny cause I arrive in the pinas friday night and gerrys match is saturday there and then nonitos match is the 22nd next month but i got to be back here in seattle by the 22nd. I think i can pull off watching both fights. When they get to manila i'll try to hang with em though.

Im not very familiar with the names of the places in the pinas, all i know is that I usually around manila,pasig,rizal area and ortigas. Me and my girl got a condo in the ortigas area or somewhere near pasig. im excited to see the place cause i haven't seen it. Theres a swimming pool, basketball court, gym, bar and malls around. I should feel real comfy there ;D

My sister in law is from cavite but i haven't been there, how far is it from pasig? I plan on visiting Bagio,Pampanga, Buracay and maybe to HOng Kong for 3 days. I heard its only 2,000 pesos to go there. Im gonna look into that.:cool:

I'll pm you some pics when i get back ;)

pacfan.

A few years back I was doing a summer job, working in a warehouse. Just as we're ready to call it a day I heard the radio report a plane crash. I went home asked my folks, have they heard about the plane crash. No what crash? Nothing was on the news.

Couple of days later..big plane crash, everyone dead. I swear hand on heart I heard it. Weirdest feeling.:-\


On the upside I dreamt Barrera beat Khan - Round5 I think;D

[I didn't catch the Gerry's fight but I heard that he won.]

[Lucky guy, you have a condo of your own at, of all places, Ortigas! (that's our Wall Street, folks) A poor fisherman like me would probably get kicked out once I set my foot there because of the strict 'dress code.' I think we'll have to meet at the nearby 'fragrant' Pasig river when we can spare some to do so.;D]

My sister in law is from cavite but i haven't been there, how far is it from pasig? I plan on visiting Bagio,Pampanga, Buracay and maybe to HOng Kong for 3 days. I heard its only 2,000 pesos to go there. Im gonna look into that.:cool: I'll pm you some pics when i get back ;)
Cavite is about an hour from Pasig if you travel straight at the regular speed of about 80mph. Yup, plane fare has gone ridiculously down thanks to those budget-type airlines. I was actually once planning to have a 'joy' ride to Cebu for 900 pesos, but just couldn't find the time for it... Hope you're having a wonderful time there, bro, so forget everything, including boxing;D and just enjoy your vacation.;)]

[Nothing really strange for some of us who experienced such things. My sister had a similar experience once. One time while she was in a restaurant in Manila, she saw people jumping from a nearby Hotel, but others, including her husband, didn't see it. After couple of days, my bro-in-law told me, that the Hotel was on fire and people actually jumped out of it!.. Maybe we should keep these things to ourselves.]

[That's nothing unusual, Mizzy, that's called 'common sense.';D;)]

Alright, fellas, I've dropped by again with a little sense of urgency this time. I told you guys earlier that you don't have to build a nuclear bomb shelter; I've changed my mind. Build one if you can!

Brace yourself, fellas, the countdown has just begun! Now we have a big problem. The North Korean missile launch activity falls exactly within the timetable I'd set earlier for my prediction to happen. Call me crazy but I think they are about to denotate a nuclear device, or at the least, there will be an accidental explosion during their launch, and I'm not joking. I'll elaborate when I come back later...

(BTW, hi to CFH and Andre, thanks for the reps.)

...okay, let me continue...

Now, I have a dillemna; this is my situation:

When we hear about any missile launching or testing activities, nuclear or otherwise, be it by Iranians, Pakistanis or Koreans, we usually don't give a dang about 'em and it usually comes out without anything much except a successful or failed launching or an underground nuclear testing, and for us, it's still business as usual and nothing much, right? Well that would've been the case here for the North Korean missile launching activities
-EXCEPT -
...a couple weeks before the news broke out, I had a vision of a huge explosion, far bigger and vivid than what I've seen before. At that moment, my immediate impression was that it was a nuclear bomb type explosion or perhaps symbollically, related to some nuclear activities. Now, here's dilemna: In this case, both my mind and heart sez, 'naw, it can't be possible, nobody's crazy enough to do such thing, not even the North Koreans, and nobody has ever done it either.' But my big problem is that my visions have never - repeat, never - been totally wrong so far! So where should I stand in this case, where I had a particularly vivid vision? Hmmm...

So you see, I think I have no choice but to go with my vision. Therefore, gentlemen (and ladies), I think that...

The North Koreans might be planning to detonate a nuclear bomb somewhere or at the least there might be huge accidental explosion during their missile testing or launching activity.

It's not entirely impossible that it could be just a result of an accidental explosion due to failed operation because a rocket or missile loaded with highly concentrated jet fuels can result in a very serious explosion. Actually, the huge, and - as I've said before - highly unusual, explosion I saw in my vision can happen anywhere. But for now, I can't see it happening other than in that North Korean missile launch operation. We'll know by about mid March for sure what it is or whether is for real or a dud - a result of my highly imaginative mind;D. Only thing I'm sure is that there will be a huge explosion somewhere, between now and mid March...

...gotta go now, but remember, I'm really, really, serious about this one, believe me...

************************************************** ********

Sorry folks, I'm revising this earlier thought of mine. I just heard that NASA will be launching a space shuttle or something on March 5, about 5 days from now. So I'm also including that as a possible candidate. As I've said, I'm sure that there will be some unordinary explosion within the first half of March - but - I'm not sure what it exactly is or where it's going to happen. So again, my revised list of possibility now will be:
1. NASA launching or mission failure;
2. N. Korean rocket/missile launching failure; or
3. N. Korean A-bomb detonation, though I think this is unlikely, I'm not totally counting it out.

So just keep an eye on NASA and the North Korean activities because that's the only possibility I can think of for now...

wot is the point of worrying about something that might happen ?

"Why Its the adrenalin and uncertanty that fear creates in us all uncle Al."

I'd be more surprised if there wasn't a big explosion very soon, tbh. If you think about it, they come along fairly often in our world.

Are you sure it wasn't Baby Bull's nose you saw explode?

All you need to remember is that to prevent this, "Save the Cheerleader, save the world."


Sorry, couldn't help myself. Hopefully it's not something that comes to pass however.

Sorry folks, I'm late. My self-prescribed time has passed so I'll have to admit that my 'vision' may just have turned out to be a simple case of hallucination this time. Excuse me for all the 'alarms and scandals' I may have caused, LOL. It was just that this one was the most vivid and realistic vision I had so far, as if I was being drawn into it, and so I really took it too seriously, I guess. Well anyways, since this turned out to be a case of an ol' meditating fool's hallucination, I can now tell you what I actually saw, if any fools here are still interested. Here it goes:

While I was in deep meditation, I had a vision of an enormous explosion in the sky, and I had an impression it might have been in the space (beyond the earth's atmosphere). It had a strong 'apocalyptic' (end of the world type) impression to it, though most likely exagerrated; but nevertheless, the vision itself was a very serious stuff...

The reason I prescribe a time limit is that all my visions so far became a reality usually between the 3rd week to the 6th, majority being around a month, from the time I actually had or had 'seen' the vision. Despite it all, I was real confident on this one. That's the reason for all the 'alarms and scandals' I made about it. Sorry about that. I'll be much more discreet the next time around...

Nice thoughts.:cool:


By the way, thanks to:

Saddoboxer, nice to see you around, I was worried you might have been banned by now, ;D;)

Spicolli, we'll have a tour around some famous war sites one of these days, maybe CFH can join us too.

CFH, I'm not yet finished with our debate... Just kiddin', hope you're doing fine...

...and now some messages to our sponsors...

Mizzy, your dream turned out to be a nightmare. Naw, they were actually right but the refs spoiled it. Just don't forget, refs are almighty...

Leftylee, hope your man the hitman is training hard, real hard, so we'll have a real good fight come May. In the meantime, keep your cool, buddy.:cool:

DarkLordAl, brace yourself 'cause I'm coming backing preaching again right at your doorsteps... (I'd be a happier man if I can just convince DarkLordAl there just might be a Supreme Being somewhere up there watching over him.;D;))...

...BTW, where are my good buddies DeanRW and the Bookkeeper aka B-bomber? Hope you guys are doing fine. I'll be in touch when I come back... ... and...

Andreeeee! take care of the flock for their spiritual enlightment. Hope you're nearing your nirvana.:)

Gotta go now. I'll be back once in awhile and definitely before the Hatton-Pac fight. I'm in a haste so sorry for any typos. Have a nice time, fellas.;)

I don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but I used to live on Saipan, which was the site of a huge WWII battle. Tons of really cool stuff still laying around etc. There was a forest fire while I was there and all this unexploded ordinance was going off etc. Pretty crazy, I really want to go back some day.

I was just thinking about that very debate as I read your post. It was a good one.

I'm doing fine, very busy with school at the moment and looking for a new job, but otherwise things are going well.

How's life treating you?

Take care Pare... Talk to you next time...
.

I'm glad we're all still 'kickin' & livin' around here, haha. Being out since the new year but I'm on a 'forced' leave due to cat epidemic at my home so I'm back for couple of days, and so just dropped in to greet some friends I missed the last time.

Hello to all my kabayans, boss Kkizzaaa, pareng Bruce, & Pacstraightleft. Hope you guyz been doing fine. Is Julius back from the pinas? How 'bout Saddoboxer, has he been behaving? ;D I've noticed lotsa new members, greetings from a pinoy pac-fool.;)

I forgot to greet Kirkland, our 'infallible' (though it's an unabashedly self-proclaimed one;D;)) economist par excellence. Hey Kirkland, don't you think it's about time you revise your economic forecast? All your 'optimistic' prognosis are coming true so I think the world economy needs a little break.

Andre, how you've been, buddy? Have some new 'inspirations'?, be free to share with us here...

Hey, Bilbo, you've been unusually quiet these days. I hope you've forgiven me (all right, blokes, don't ask what's it all about, it's an intimate secret just between the two of us;D). Hope your fine, buddy;)...

Golly, I'm glad to see you. Always have that feeling that you been exiled somewhere yonder. By the way, is there a truth to the rumor that Pac just beat someone up pretty badly? Can you please give a full, punch by punch, report on it on a new thread? I'm might just actually read it...;)


All right, fellas, gotta go now and as the ol' cliche goes, 'hope to see ya all sooooon'. Adios again.

maybe your vision of big explosion was that looping left from pac to hattons face in the second round?

**********


Alright, fellas, I have a day off so I'm in a mood of talking right now, the usual voodoo stuffs;D...

Some coincidences (actually, nothing in this world is coincidence, everything happens for some reasons) regarding recent events.

First, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, and Elvis Presley, the King of Rock&Roll, so both were kings, heh. Michael had a Neverland, Elvis had a Graceland. Both died of prescription drug related causes. Mickey had been married to Elvis' daughter. Probably there are more but those are the ones I'm aware of.

Second, Farah Fawcett (not sure about the spelling). She was a very hot lady during my teen days (ok, I'm not a kid anymore, but not a grampa either, about same as my young buddy Andre, yes that feared mod of the saddos - naw, he's a nice fella). Farah was supposed to get married to Ryan O'neal. Ryan became a superstar after starring in that classic movie Love Story. I remember watching that movie for free at some restaurant inside a US base somewhere in the 70's (again, I was just a young lad then). In the movie, Ryan's girl, played by Ali McGraw, died of cancer before they could marry, just like in his real-life drama with Farah. Incidentally, Ali's real-life husband, Steve McQueen, also died of cancer.

Third, I mentioned that some significant events happen in three's when I wrote about the New Zealander airline Qantas making an emergency landing here in Manila about a year ago. Qantas, one of very few airlines with zero crash rate, had two more similar, though unrelated, accidents just within couple weeks apart immediatel after that Manila incident. Which brings me to Arguello, Gatti and Forest. I know you all know what happened to them so I'll not waste my precious time recounting those horrible events...

Strange is this world, ain't it...


I'm saddened by what happened to Michael. Being a guy of the 80's - the world was real cool then - when Michael shook the world with his Thrilla and when the British New Wave invasion took Manila by storm - Boy George and his Culture Club, Duran Duran, Spandau B, not to mention Madonna - she was a virgin then, and Cyndi. Yup, those were The days, our days. I still play my favorite Whammy boys' MTV Last Christmas in the middle of a summer, driving my folks here crazy (and they think I'm the one who's gone nuts, strange, ain't it;D)...

Seriously... as they say, money and fame can't buy happiness. It's been proven over and over again, and what really saddens me is the fact that it takes just a spark of hope in your heart to keep you going in this rough journey called life, without losing your mind. Yup, that's all you need, just a spark of hope. Just think about it. A man dies the moment he totally loses hope. As long as hope springs in your heart, even just a pinch of it, you can endure whatever that comes your way. So my dear friends:cool:, start nurturing that elusive thing called hope in your heart. Those often subtle feelings that everthing will be all right and that something good lay ahead - lurking somewhere deep in your heart. Go on, feel it... feels real good, right? Keep at it and make it a permanent part of your life. Better yet, nurture it daily until it grows so strong that nothing, absolutely nothing, can shake you again...

Gotta go now. ...where the heck is saddoboxer??? Never mind.;)

Mr pacfan,

One day you will hopefully become a wealthy man, and only then shall you realise all that you once believed to be true, and sacrosanct, was in fact utter bollocks.

Your good friend

Fenster.

Many thanks, Mr. fenster. You never fail to encourage me with your wise thoughts... Yes, perhaps you're right. Perhaps, this 'money can't buy me love' thing (bty, the Beatles taught me that) may not true; perhaps it's just a poor man's (like this poor fisherman) grumble against those rich folks. Perhaps money can indeed buy love, happiness, and everything else. I wonder...
Hope I'll be a rich man soon to find out whether that is true or not. If you're a wealthy man, my friend, please share some of your wealth with this poor chap so that he might be enlightened soon on the matter.;D

Ok, Mr. fenster, my favorite mod, you may now take off your mod's outfit, loosen your tie and unbutton your collar. You can always be your old self and feel at home in my lair and say whatever you want, just like the old times, and you know very well that I'll still be smiling. I've noticed you've been unusually kind and considerate to your fellow man since you've assumed your moderatorship. I know that's somewhat of a burden for you, so here you can relax and even take a nap:cool:...;)


****************


...and now, to continue with my monologue... (ok, just bear with me)...
I watched a couple years back George Michael on Oprah with his new lover and he seemed to be perfectly happy... then several months later, he was reportedly found slumped inside his car unconscious due to drug overdose. Hard to imagine a man who once held the world in his hand (his song Careless Whisper was the numero uno hit for the entire year of 1985) has degenerated into what they used to call during my time as a 'junkie'... And then, there's Boy George who was seen in the news couple years back, engaging in a community service selling T-shirts after being caught with drugs. Sad, isn't it...

...Just an hour ago, I spilled a large, full bowl of ramen noodles on my couch. But contrary to what most people expect, I didn't feel a bit irritated or annoyed. Why? Because I've been training myself to control my emotions for decades and now, I hardly react negatively to such situation. It might be hard to imagine for most ordinary folks but I even humored myself for it even though I have a big cleaning job to do tomorrow morning. This is The Way I've always been trying to preach here...

BTW... thanks fenster, CFH and Dax for the reps. Always appreciate those cookies...

...gotta go now. oops, excuse for the typos if any, I'm always in a hurry these days...

...and now, to continue with my monologue... (ok, just bear with me)...
I watched a couple years back George Michael on Oprah with his new lover and he seemed to be perfectly happy... then several months later, he was reportedly found slumped inside his car unconscious due to drug overdose. Hard to imagine a man who once held the world in his hand (his song Careless Whisper was the numero uno hit for the entire year of 1985) has degenerated into what they used to call during my time as a 'junkie'... And then, there's Boy George who was seen in the news couple years back, engaging in a community service selling T-shirts after being caught with drugs. Sad, isn't it...

...Just an hour ago, I spilled a large, full bowl of ramen noodles on my couch. But contrary to what most people expect, I didn't feel a bit irritated or annoyed. Why? Because I've been training myself to control my emotions for decades and now, I hardly react negatively to such situation. It might be hard to imagine for most ordinary folks but I even humored myself for it even though I have a big cleaning job to do tomorrow morning. This is The Way I've always been trying to preach here...

BTW... thanks fenster, CFH and Dax for the reps. Always appreciate those cookies...

...gotta go now. oops, excuse for the typos if any, I'm always in a hurry these days...

The premonition was correct too Pacfan;
a chunk of space matter the size of planet Earth hit Jupiter at the end of last month we wont feel the effects if any for a long time as its a long way away. Michael Jackson got pages and pages the outer space explosion got about a paragraph.

In regards to getting upset with inane things or time: Im with you in that.
But for me its not a further exersize in self control its more that I use the faith that Im being well looked after and if something or someone gets in my way then it is there to help me, maybe to disrupt my false timing so to avoid an accident resulting in much worse.

We see people die or worse still maimed from pushing to get somewhere or something a few seconds earlier in their own imagned time.
That exersize also helps bring to light true reality out from the imagined materially experienced duality with all its pitfalls.

I hope all is well for you.

Thanks for reminding me that, Andre, you have a very sharp eyes, eyes of a Zen master. Ya, I didn't actually mean 'control' and I've been actually preaching against that in all my sermons (I'm sounding like a priest). But sometimes I use the word 'control' in a loose sort of way so most people can grasp it more easily but I'll have to say that still, that's indeed an incorrect term. Like always, I should be emphasizing my letting be and letting go principles instead of any attempt to control anything (but I think I've already talked about that thousand times here so I will not go too much into that [I wrote extensively about that in one of Dizaster's thread (btw, where's he?), so if anyone's interested, check 'em out]).

So fellas, as my master Andre says, you just try to have faith and let it be and let it go, or if you are uncomfortable with the concept of God, just thinking that 'everything will be ok and something good lays ahead' should be good enough to start for you.

So some of you guys might be asking, 'so what's that got to do with my spilling ramen noodles?' ;D Well it goes like this: I've been letting go of all my negative emotions during my meditation sessions that, after many (and I mean many) years, those emotions doesn't easily crop up anymore in most situations. That's why even when I spilled a full bowl of ramen on my fabric-based couch, I didn't feel a bit irritated or annoyed - those feeling just don't get aroused in me anymore under most situation. As they say. 'I'm eazzzzy.':cool:

*******

Well anywayz, my friends, my vacation is over so I gotta go again, but hope to drop by once in a while if I have some time to spare. In the meantime, just listen to what master Andre has got to say as he's got a treasure trove of wisdom to share with all of you so as to make your stay in this world just a little bit more comfortable and happy.

And Andre my friend, you've been little quiet about your philisophy lately and I've been missing them, so don't hesitate to share them here. Many people are quiet about these things but they are actually interested in them, maybe just too shy to come out in the open to acknowledge their interest. Have to go now, in the meantime, take care, brother.;)

Oops, I almost forgot, Happy Birthday Mizzy! Hope you had a nice celebration...

...adios and mabuhay!!!

Well Im flattered but Im still partaking in this crazy worlds things and Im still affected by them, so Im probably not practicing Zen as much as you Pacfan you have the masters chair.

I, like you have different fish to fry at the moment and it too has its effects, but Im recognizing them as outside effects so thats a decent start. :spongebob:

Good to hear Pac Fan ,we are agreed then; it stops here.

I dont like accolades either bro.

It is like flipping a mirror around between two people who dont want to know about it.

Accolades; I was simply returning them in kind, to see if you take them as you first gave them.

I dont wish to carry any extra luggage either my friend.

God be with you.

To me there's no problem in giving or receiving accolades, I have no problem with that so I'll consider it as a form of goodwill from anyone who offers it sincerely, and that, of course, includes you, my good friend; what's probably wrong is desiring and seeking them...

BTW, did I you say somewhere that you're having a flu? If so, get well soon. You must have stayed up too long.:mad: So take a good rest, that's the only remedy for flu's...;)

I'm now on to some strange facts and coincidences I've discovered regarding one candidate for president here next year, Mar Roxas, that may be a form of sign indicating him to be the next president of the Philippines. What makes it more intriguing is the fact that he is only fifth in the survey among the potential candidates today:

Villar also tops Pulse Asia survey - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos

Villar jumps to 1st in Pulse Asia survey | ABS-CBN News Online Beta

So the odds are strongly against him (and my 'theory' for that matter) as of now, and I'm wondering how in the world he is supposed to win. But based on those signs, and if my interpretation is right, he should eventually emerge as the winner. So this will be a good time for me to test my theory of sort regarding these types of 'signs' and their effects on the future events in this world. Of course this is still just a theory (not in a strict scientific sense though) so I'm not declaring it to be absolutely true, but something to be tested to prove or disprove it. If a guy only fifth in a survey eventually wins somehow, then the 'theory' must be correct. I can't reveal these signs or coincidences (nothing is actually coincidental) for now so as not to disturb the natural scheme of things which I believe is better left alone, and let it take it's natural course. For now, all I can say is that they have nothing to do with the stars or horoscopes, or my usual visions or 'hallucinations' but more like the famous 'Lincoln - Kennedy' connection or coincidence(s). The election will be held next May...

...got the go now, hope to be back next weekend again, adios...

***********************************

I'm indefinitely suspending this theory of mine because of a new, unexpected development here that took place just a day after I made the above post, that put a monkey wrench, so to speak, on all my assumption and thereby rendering my theory invalid. An unbeatable candidate just entered the race - the very popular Benigno 'Noynoy' Aquino III, the son of our late hero Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino II and his equally popular wife, the former President Corazon 'Cory' Aquino, who just recently passed on...
