8.1M Earthquake to Hit the Philippines on July 18? email this discussion to a friend?

ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines3 months ago

This has been spreading over the internet and sms for quite some time now. I did a little googling and I found out that this "prophesy" came from the same person who supposedly predicted many other disasters and tragedies in the past. He's Juseleeno DaRoose, a 47yr old Brazilian teacher. Among his past predictions are Princess Diana's death and the 9/11 terrorist attack. There's lots of info about him over the net so you too might want to check him out. I'm not even sure if he really exists or not. Lolz.

So, dear myLotters, fellow Pinoys or not, what are your thoughts on this? I would love to hear from everyone.

xoxo,
ajhie!

There's actually no reason to be not scared everyday for nobody truly knows when yoour time is up.Let's just be prepared everyday. Why should we even wait for a disaster when who knows what's gonna happen in the next hour or maybe just the next minute.I don't feel for these predictions but truly I'm scared because I know I'm not totally prepared.


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  3 months ago

I'm glad you feel that way, choybel. And it's true that at the end of the day, all that matters is if we're prepared for whatever might happen. I also don't feel for prophesies like this and, like you, I can't help but worry at the back of my head. God bless us.

This is frightening, I hope this is not true. I am afraid of what will cause in the Philippines. We have tragic sulpicio lines issue, now if this earthquake will happen. Oh, what will happen. We're on crisis, there's a lot of innocent people out there that will be affected of this. This is not a joke, and though people of the Philippines should be ready for this.


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  3 months ago

This also sends shivers down my spine, my dear. And if there's one thing I would pray for, it's definitely that this whole thing won't happen for real. I mean, yes, earthquakes are inevitable and all, but one as deadly as this prophesy claims it would be? Oh dear. And yes, we still haven't recovered much from the Sulpicio tragedy to be facing another one on the way.

Although it is possible for that to happen, as it happened before, considering the place we are located. But, it is not right to tell something ill that could happen to us Filipinos in times like this (Economic Crisis, Political Crisis, My thesis..hehe). So who ever came up with that is just wanting some attention.


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  3 months ago

I really wish you're right, heero. It's as if we don't have so much in our (Filipino's) hands already, along comes this one! Lolz. I guess all we can really do right now is just to pray and hope that no matter what, we'll all be fine.

As of this moment, nobody have the capacity to predict earthquakes. Even the Japanese and other more advanced countries do not have the technology to predict earthquakes. Whoever did this email is sick!


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  3 months ago

Yeah, even with today's rapidly evolving technology, predicting earthquakes or other natural calamities is still very far from reach. At one point, we can choose to believe this for the sole reason that we don't really know what can happen. Then again, if you're more of a man of science, then you can simply brush this off as another one of those sick chain letters we get on our spam mail everyday. Thanks for the comment!

You can 'predict' earthquakes if you make one on purpose.

Listen, if he has a talent for predictions, why don't he predict the winning numbers of lotto so he can make himself rich instead of slaving away for a meager teacher's salary?

And isn't it odd that July 18 (Brazilian time zone) is July 19 Philippine time zone, which is the anniversary of the 1990 killer quake in Baguio and the rest of north Luzon. This is not a prophesy. It is just another weirdo trying to scare off Pinoys particularly in a time when we are vulnerable for such scares because we're remembering the July 1990 Killer Quake anniversary.


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  3 months ago

Very well said! Not to mention quite informative too! Haha. It didn't occur to me until now this whole connection with the 1990 Baguio killer quake. In the end, it's up to us whether we would allow this to scare the bajeeberz out of us.

julklex (8)   ranked 2,021 out of 2,274 in philippines  2 months ago

very true
Even if he really does exist and isn't something some people made up, and really did predict a thing or two, he probably just got lucky, or had connections (know the right people and I'm sure you would have heard about 9/11 as well)

Predictions are predictions. I am not so sure on a scientific way of predicting earthquakes but provided that we are within the Pacific Ring of Fire, we experience tremors and quakes everyday. So, a stronger quake is possible. sadhappy

Hopefully it will not happen. What we can do is to always be prepared. happy Pray.


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  2 months ago

Ah, the age-old saying.. "Pray hard, it works." Lol. But it's true! Hehe. With all the troubles we're going through, sometimes all you can really do is to pray. Then again, there's that other saying that prayers can only get you so far. You'll have to make your own decisions too. What does this have to do with the earthquake..? I have nooo idea. Hahaha.

I think if this will really happen here in the Philippines, the more our economy will be in danger.. Many Filipino people will going to suffer.. I hope this is not true...


Adhawkeye (25)   ranked 2,025 out of 2,274 in philippines  2 months ago

Its immpossible to predict an earthquake even if you have the most sophisticated early warning systems. This person as with many predictors including nostradamous, probably predicts hundreds of events a year but focuses only on the correct ones and not the much larger amount of incorrect ones. The difference now is that the internet can be used to spread these things rapidly and people swallow it quickly.


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  2 months ago

Our economy is bad enough as it already is. We can no longer afford any more setbacks. More importantly, lives are at stake, and while the economy can be rebuilt, these cannot.

That is just plainly stupid. We've been hearing a lot of stories like these for eternity and none of them really came true. it's just a ploy to scare people out of their wits. I think people should ignore these kinds of things. These things do not have any scientific proof to it.


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  2 months ago

Fear has always been an effective tool to make people believe in nonsense, and you're right, this could be another one of those things. Nevertheless, I guess what this truly does is that it serves as a reminder that each new day is unknown to anyone, and therefore it's better to always make the most out of the present.

i doubt if this is for real. no reason to push the panic button becasue of a rumor spreading in the internet. more than anything, i think this is a hoax playing on the nueroses of a very fragile public.

rest easy my friend.


ajhienomoto (80)   ranked 786 out of 2,274 in philippines  2 months ago

True enough. Still can't help it though. I'm easily bothered by even the smallest things. What more if it involved some kind of doomsday effect to it. Lolz. Thanks for the comment, my friend.^___^
