DOOM on the 18th.

m-hm. /:)
Bien told me about the e-mail she recieved about the 8.1 earthquake that will happen on july 18, here in the Philippines.
I didn't know about it because
1. I don't usually open my mail.
And..
2. When I open my mail, I NEVER read inspiring/funny/chain mails. I think reading those is just a waste of time. I've got better things to do than to read mails. Haha. I only read the mails from school. :P

Anyway, I researched about this (psycho) phsychic guy who predicts earthquakes.
--------------------------------------------------------

There has been an email that has been circulating on the Internet for some time now. It's content is a claim that there is an earthquake with an 8. something magnitude that will hit the Philippines on July 18, 2008. This is from a Brazilian psychic that goes by the name Jucelino Nobrega da Luz. The name Juseleeno Nobulega DaRoose which has been widely circulated along with the email is a misspelling.

The psychic claims that he has predicted a lot of significant events that has recently occurred. But a serious study of his prophecies could reveal that this man is a hoax as claimed by his critics. The man has also been accused before of forging false documents to prove his claim of foretelling catastrophes and tragedies...

I have checked out the man's website (the language is in Brazilian Portuguese) and have found out that no single respected or non-respected organization endorses him. My personal opinion is that this is just another man trying to earn an online living through viral emails. If you understand the power of email marketing, you would know what I mean. If you are a not a newbie in using the Internet, you would know how to find the man's website. I would not be posting the link to his site as this will only encourage the man to do some more claims if he finds out that his website is gaining more traffic. (Well, a hundred comments for this post might change my mind... Might as well get some benefit before throwing out his link... lol!)

Just to appease the fears of some, here's the GMA NEWS take on the predicted earthquake.

I have a few online Brazilian friends and I will be asking them for any information about this psychic if they have any. I will try to post it here later...

And just to stress my point in posting this... Do I believe in this man's claim of a coming 8 magnitude earthquake? The answer is a plain NO.
