Pacquiao Won!

Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao for retaining his welterweight champion title. The pound for pound boxer beat Marquez via majority decision. It was an exciting match that ended with a criticisms and bottle throwing fans when the result was announced.

Marquez thinks he was being robbed again of the title and said "I don't know what else to do to win."

Will there be a Pacquiao-Marquez 4?

New 7 Wonders of Nature: The Palawan Subterranean River

The Palawan Subterranean (Underground) River made it to the list of the provisional new seven wonders of nature. The announcement was made yesterday. 11-11-11 was a lucky day after all.

The underground river located in Puerto Princesa, Palawan in the Philippines is the longest underground river of the world. It features a mountain of limestone deposit of 8.2km navigable through an underground river.

The list also includes the Amazon River, Halong Bay, Iguazu Falls, Jeju Island, Komodo and Table Mountain.

11-11-11

Today is a special day for the superstitious. It so happens that today is November 11, 2011 or 11-11-11. 

As I write this post, I received a text message that reads like this:

"Today is 11-11-11. I wish you 11 things: love, smile, health, wealth, success, beauty, luck, dream, dream come true, lover, and happiness. Please forward this to 11 people and you will have these eleven wishes forever. Hurry up! You only have 11 minutes to send."

People can be so obsessed with whatever symbolism peculiar dates have if there is any. Why can they wish me those things in any given day? And if I break the chain I will receive bad luck for the rest of my life? Isn't that cruel?

I don't know what the six number 1s will bring me before the day ends but I do hope it is something good.

Oh, and I will break the chain like what I always do. I think I have broken a hundred already and yet I am here, living happy.

I Woke Up Crying, Again

I woke up crying again.

I will not go into the details of my dream. All I can share with you is that the feeling was so intense that I actually felt tears roll down my cheeks and I was sobbing non-stop.

Dream Moods Dictionary interpreted this type of dream as:

"signifies release of negative emotions that is more likely caused by some waking situation rather than the events of the dream itself... it is a way to regain some emotional balance and to safely let out your fears and frustrations... to wake up crying represents some suppressed hurt or previous trauma that is coming up to the surface. You can no longer suppress these emotions. They need to be dealt with head on."
