The one with the 11:11

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Well, this thought was just passed on to me by a former roommate.  Back then, he would usually see these things very often and that makes it weird.  He’d jokingly explain the possible reason for it and I totally disregarded the deranged hypothesis.  Since then, I have experienced or should I say, I became unconsciously conscious to this major observation.

For the past few years, I have consistently noticed that I always see these times of the day 00:00, 2:22, 4:44 etc.  (I’m used to the military time or 24-hour).  At first, you might react and say, “So what’s so special with that.   It’s just repetitive and so what. “

What’s peculiar is this, for the past few days, I have been seeing 11:11 more often than the other combinations. (As a matter of fact, I’ve seen it for the last three days straight.)

Eleven is a close number to me.  First, it’s the sum of the month and day of my birth.  Two of my former prospects were born on the 11th of the month.  I used to like the eleventh letter of the alphabet.

Probably, you might say that I’m just thinking non-sense today.  Trying to come up with another story to write and waste my not-so-boredom Saturday night.  Don’t think that I’m neurotic or something.  But this contemplation has been with me for the longest time. 

Is this another off-your-rocker idea?  Not really!  Am I just trying to over-analyze the things that are happening in my life?  Nope.  Is this just filler for the month? Hell no. 

I’d just like to unravel this mystery, answer one-of-my-thousand useless questions and make use of my brain cells that are starting to die from nothingness that I have become.

Hmmm, or maybe something good will happen to me on November 11th.   Oops, did I just solve the mystery?  Is this the day that I have been long waiting for?

Now this is starting to get more exciting…

the one with the amazing race

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

this is the one thing that i really missed… nope not the blog but the Amazing race… (well, okay i have to admit not posting a blog for the past two months is a fish kill… but time won’t really permit me to)

anyway, just a quick update with my life… yap, i’m pretty much happy with my new surroundings (i can’t say work because i just transferred to a subsidiary company and i’m still doing the same work)

my teammates are great… aside from it there’s a new  before the event prospect… hmmm, well want more details about it? just tell me…

travelled to Baguio last August, and had a September tan at Bohol and will be going to Singapore next Friday…

Everything seems great though not really perfect…

Okay going back to the very reason why I’m making this blog…

I’ve been a big fan of Amazing race… I think I started with season 4 and had this really strong predictions everytime… i was able to guess the top three teams from the last 4 seasons…

Now, I’m enlisting the three teams and for you people who’s going to read this let’s play with the season along… try to guess, why I’m predicting these teams…

If you get the reason right, (supposing that I get it right) you’ll have a free dinner from me… fair? easy? let’s see…

the three teams are: (not yet in order)

1. erwin and godwin (i think they are the koreans)

2. lyn and karlyn (the black team)

3. tyler and james (the addicts)

okay, i will post my bet who’s going to win the race this weekend since, I wasn’t able to catch the last two episodes…

all you have to do is, post your reasons or answers here as a comment and will all have to wait for the last three teams…and will see who’s going to get the free dinner… i’m giving out one free dinner only…

hope you enjoy this game…
