Over lunch of homemade siomai, leftover eggplant torta and chicken menudo, Alex talked about a strange dream she had about a school project that we organized and how it was sabotaged. In her dream, the event takes place on September 26 but, after the sabotage, she resolves to go back to September 21 to somehow make things right. I don’t know how those two dates are significant to Alex but, to me, September 21 will always be the anniversary of the declaration of Martial Law.
Probably prompted by the seemingly paranormal tune of Alex’s dream, Sam asked: “Ma, nabasa mo ‘yung babae na nabulag sa giyera tapos na-predict n’ya yung 9/11 (Ma, have you read about the woman who was blinded during a war and she predicted 9/11)?”
I said no.
Sam went on and said the woman also predicted that, one day, we will be ruled by robots.
“Like The Terminator
Alex said, “Oh, my, god, ayokong ma-Terminator (I don’t want a Terminator scenario).”
Personally, I’d rather have a Terminator scenario than a Matrix scenario — at least we can be rebels rather than batteries.
Sam and Alex went back and forth about which option is preferable. Sam said she’d choose The Matrix scenario. Alex asked her if she wants to be in the Matrix or outside of it. Sam said outside, of course, because she was going to be The One.
I can only hope that you’ve seen both films to appreciate the discussion.
After lunch, in true Connie fashion, I went straight to my computer and typed “blind woman predict 9/11″ in the search bar. And I got a name. Vangelia Gushterova a.k.a. Baba Vanga.
Now, I’m not a believer in prophesies. I’m not even a Nostradamus fan. To me, people like them are a curiosity.
But did Baba Vanga really predict 9/11 accurately? The prediction was: “Horror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing.” That’s too ambiguous and cryptic, and anyone can inject any meaning into it. However, there was another prediction which appears to be less ambiguous.
In 1980, Baba Vanga supposedly predicted: “At the turn of the century, in August of 1999 or 2000, Kursk will be covered with water, and the whole world will be weeping over it.” Kursk, a Russian city, did not get inundated in any of those years. However, a submarine named Kursk exploded and sank in August 12, 2000.
Baba Vanga’s name is cropping up more and more these days because she also predicted that World War III will begin on November 2010.
Her predictions:
2010: World War 3 begins in November 2010. Starting as a regular war, it will progress to a nuclear and chemical war. Vanga says the war will be finished by October 2014.
2011: As a result of the war, radioactive showers will destroy almost all life in the Northern Hemisphere. The remaining Europeans will face an even further threat from the Muslims who will use chemical weapons to finish them off.
2014: As another result of the chemicals and nuclear weapons during the war, most of the world population will have skin cancer and other skin diseases.
2016: Europe is nearly uninhabited.
2018: China will become the new superpower. The exploiters will become the exploited.
2023: The Earth’s orbit will change.
2025: Europe is still very underpopulated.
2028: A new energy source will be found. Hunger is overcome. A manned space flight will leave for Venus.
2033: The world water levels will rise as the polar ice caps melt.
2043: Economy is good. The Muslims will run Europe.
2046: All bodily organs can be reproduced, becoming the easiest and most popular method of treatment.
2066: The U.S. uses a new climate-changing weapon on Muslim controlled Rome.
2076: Communism takes over.
2084: Nature is reborn.(??)
2088: A new disease makes you grow old in seconds.
2097: The Fast-Aging Disease is cured.
2100: Man-made sun is lighting up the dark side of the planet.
2111: People become robots. Probably like androids.
2123: Wars between small countries. The big countries stay out of it.
2125: Signals from Space will be received in Hungary. (People will be reminded of Baba Vanga – probably due to her alien subjects)
2130: With the help of the aliens, civilizations will live underwater.
2164: Animals turn half-human.
2167: A new religion.
2170: Major drought.
2183: A colony on Mars will become a nuclear power and ask for independance from Earth. (Like the U.S. asked from England.)
2187: 2 large volcanic eruptions will be successfully stopped.
2195: The sea colonies will have energy and food.
2196: Asians and Europeans will be completely mixed.
2201: Temperatures drop as the sun’s thermonuclear processes slow down.
2221: In the search for extra-terrestrial life, humans will come in contact with something terrible.
2256: A spaceship will bring a new disease to Earth.
2262: Planets will slowly change orbits. Mars will be threatened by a comet.
2271: Physics laws will be changed.
2273: White, black and yellow races will form 1 new race.
2279: Power will be obtained from nothing. (Possibly a vacuum or a black hole.)
2288: Possible time travel and alien contact.
2291: The sun grows cooler. Attempts will be made to make it hot again.
2296: Strong explosions in the sun. The forces of gravity will change. Old space stations and satellites will fall.
2299: In France, a resistance movement will rise against Islam.
2302: Important laws and secrets of the universe are revealed.
2304: Secrets of the Moon are also revealed.
2341: Something terrible will approach Earth from Space.
2354: An accident on the artificial sun will result in drought.
2371: World hunger.
2378: A new and fast-growing race.
2480: 2 artificial (man-made) suns will collide and leave the Earth in the dark.
3005: A war on Mars will change the trajectory of the planet.
3010: A comet will hit the moon. The Earth will be surrounded by a ring of rock and ash.
3797: By this time, everything on Earth will die. However, human civilization will be advanced enough to move to a new star system.
And just when I thought this long look into a possible future by Baba Vanga was finished, I found a whole bunch of reposts of even more dates on many blogs and forums. Not sure where they originated from either. These next ones are copied since all the sites are the same – these aren’t in my words, that is.
3803: A new planet is populated by little. Fewer contacts between people. Climate new planet affects the organisms of people – they mutate.
3805: The war between humans for resources. More than half of people dying out.
3815: The war is over.
3854: The development of civilization virtually stops. People live flocks as beasts.
3871: New prophet tells people about moral values, religion.
3874: New prophet receives support from all segments of the population. Organized a new church.
3878: along with the Church to re-train new people forgotten sciences.
4302: New cities are growing in the world. New Church encourages the development of new technology and science.
4302: The development of science. Scientists discovered in the overall impact of all diseases in organism behavior.
4304: Found a way to win any disease.
4308: Due to mutation people at last beginning to use their brains more than 34%. Completely lost the notion of evil and hatred.
4509: Getting to Know God. The man has finally been reached such a level of development that can communicate with God.
4599: People achieve immortality.
4674: The development of civilization has reached its peak. The number of people living on different planets is about 340 billion. Assimilation begins with aliens.
5076: A boundary universe. With it, no one knows.
5078: The decision to leave the boundaries of the universe. While about 40 percent of the population is against it.
5079: End of the World.
As I write this entry, Sam (who is downstairs) is chatting me up on Facebook and says, “Sana magkaroon na ng maayos na human cloning. Babalik ako para dito — 2288: Possible time travel and alien contact.”
Translation: “I hope they develop cloning well. I will come back for this — 2288: Possible time travel and alien contact.”
Sure. I suppose anything is possible for The One.
Dear The One:
I told you to check if the piping bags are clean if you want to bake meringue. Get your ass moving. Time to bake. If you don’t move now, I PREDICT that there will be no meringue produced today.
Love, Mommy.
Kumakanta si Adam, okay. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan lahat ng bagay. Baba ka na, panuorin mo si Lambert at icheck mo na rin.
HAHAHA! 
Hay, naku.
I love how tight knit you and your daughters are. It really reminds me of my home life with my mother. As for the predictions, I’ll admit that they’re slightly chilling but I’m a cynic in the way that I will forget about this in–
Ooh, meringue. Sounds delish.
Meringue just out of the oven. Delish indeed.
all of what i read in this blog i pictured in my mind. but the picture of that meringue just out of the oven — it’s smell filling the kitchen — erased everything… and now i’m craving… bava what?
That reminds me to post photos of the meringue making hehehehe
Good news! December 5078: The Philippines becomes a superpower
Then a year later — end of the world.
I’ve never really paid much attention to Baba Vanga. Like all predictions, they are pretty interesting. Each one a potential idea for a movie or book. Others have already been made into one.
Movies… TV series… books… Lots of people have cashed in on these predictions. A Nostradamus series airs weekly on cable. Discovery, I think.
The years 2010 to 2018 are the EXACT script for the game Fallout 3.

Home-made siomao? I have to ask – what parts of the pork do you use for meat?
And on the matter of dimsum, have you guys ever tried Xiao Long Bao?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaolongbao
it’s probably a bit tough to make at home, but it’s a really tasty dish.
The shoulder which has substantial fat.
Xiao long bao — yes, in Taipei, where there’s real soup inside the dumpling. I still dream about it.
The ones they try to pass off locally as xiao long bao aren’t so good.
Gloria Maris has pretty decent Xiao Long Bao.
Which branch? Because the last time I had dimsum at Gloria Maris (the Marcos Hiway branch), I swore never to go back. Fortunately, that branch has since closed down.
We could also have this one -

Very interesting. And one more proof why SPACES are necessary in language. I almost lost my temper making sense of the letters.
And I also remember I’ve watched in Discovery that some environmentalist(?) scientists always return their live specimens from where they’ve been obtained so as not to interfere with the normal life evolution.
I call that as a scientists’ fetish. But at least, I can agree with others that these scientists can factually explain their act for that one, and perhaps, even generate a mathematical model for it (just like global warming heh).
Compare that with those future seers. Anybody here can explain to us the percentage of Nostradamus predictions that have really occurred in modern times? One out of a thousand could be a very good guess.
I would also search for that in the internet.
The stats should be interesting although I PREDICT they will vary hehehe Nostradamus supporters will surely say he has had a much higher batting average.
Miss Connie, if Pastor Terry Jones of Florida will proceed with his Quran burning to commemorate this years 9/11 anniversary then maybe–maybe world war 3 will indeed begin this Nov….ahhhh this Pastor is spoiling my birthday (sigh)
Yeah, I read that. How irresponsible. To have a strong conviction is one thing. But this is provocation.
@leny
I can agree with the opinion that that act is irresponsible.
But what can you say about the the Muslims also burning the bible? Even killing non-Muslim just for the sake of their religion. With their belief that all non-believers have to be killed.
Are they not enough to spoil your birthday?
Sigh…
exactly my thought—provocation to the highest level—to copy Venus Raj’—its a major major provocation. How irresponsible, the rest of the world will be put hostage to his act…. I hope Pres Obama will answer his telephone when PNoy calls for help then
I can say I can comprehend English grammar but I can’t make anything out of your comment.
Perhaps further clarification is needed why Obama and Penoy or N/A were suddenly in the topic of your comment as far as your concern is with the burning of Koran.
Don’t you know that the world has been hostage of the Muslims’ whims “eversince”?
I don’t think it will affect us directly as this would be a domestic issue in the US, the pastor being a private citizen.
2010 – Iran defiance on nuclear weapon leaves no room for Israel. War is inevitable beginning Nov 2010.
2018 – China recently unveiled its anti super carrier ballistic missile DF21D against US carriers. China is building its own super carrier which will be operational by 2018.
2023 – Scientists have long studied how variations in Earth’s orbit relate to ice ages, cycles of glacier building and retreat, and even mass extinctions. Changing Earth’s orbit may forestall the next extinction.
2028 – Japan recently launced in June 2010 its experimental solar powered Ikarus to Venus. Solar power will become the major energy source by 2030 when oil production is dwindling after 2015. Solar sail will be the key to space travel when rocket energy is limited.
2043 – The 9/11 was partly designed to choke economic trading but failed. Dubai is the economic blueprint versus New York’s US Wall Street and London’s Euro market. It may become a powerhouse to overrun Euro market and prime real estate including Rome.
2046 – It is only legislation and protocols that blocks aggressive cloning. That could change as people gets older.
2066 – As early as 2000, US scientists had been researching nano technology. Not being disclosed is its weapon application through climate.
2076 – People turned to communism due to collapse in global market as precipitated in 2043.
2088 – Genetic experiments created its own chimera.
2097 – And its own bellerophon cure.
2111 – Intrusion of microchips into human is complete with no need of national ID, healthcare card or passport.
2130 – Independents will live in alternative habitat. More than 2/3 of earth’s surface is covered in water. It is also the better hiding place.
2164 – Animals are weaponized.
2183 – Space colonies are no longer interested and controlled by earth politics.
I will just stop here.
Whose predictions are those?
The timeline is Vanga but cast in a different perspective we are familiar with.
Just to say it could happen. The first case for those who just know Vanga, would be the Nov 2010. Iran has already indicated that in case of 1st strike by Israel, it will have a long protracted war. The 1st response would be the Hezbollah army (which is fully funded and armed by Iran) in Lebanon which is across Israel border.
On the day that Hillary Clinton announced a renewed effort on Israeli-Palestinian peace, Iran test-fired a surface-to-air missile. A day after that, Iran loaded fuel rods into its Busher nuclear reactor. The next day it announced its first home made unmanned drone bomber.
Ahmadinejad will visit the border (which is flying Iran’s flag overlooking Israel) this October which is his first visit in 5 years (last glimpse before its destruction?).

Wouldn’t this be a statement of fact more than a prediction, considering that the earth’s surface is 70.78 percent water?

The premise of most of the Mobile Suit Gundam series and their corresponding spinoffs.
Both Nostradamus and St Malachi prophesied the end of Rome papacy. Interpreting it as military attack on Rome is ridiculous as the G nations will not allow it. US is fighting its Islamist enemies which is expected to last over 50 years. In its alliance are the ruling families of Middle East countries whose fortunes brought up Dubai. Vanga give us a clue on 2043 via economics. The ruling families may have economic control in the trading market which could end Vatican in banckruptcy.

“The twelve patents below are the backbone of the HAARP project, and are now buried among the thousands of others held in the name of Raytheon. Bernard J. Eastlund’s U.S. Patent # 4,686,605, “Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere, Ionosphere; and/or Magnetosphere,” was sealed for a year under a government Secrecy Order. ”
“When HAARP is eventually built to its full power level, it could create weather effects over entire hemispheres.”
I just read the post RE: prediction of War on Nov 2010
Then on the news the NORTH Korea started bombing SOUTH which the NORTH Korea carries NUCLEAR and CHemical Weapon. The US even sent war ship carrying Nuclear weapon to South Korea to back up their Allies and or neighboring countries like Japan. I’m greatly worried that this prediction might come true.
Iran a muslim country carries Nuclear weapons is not in good terms with US with which US is originally a sovereign country of British regime and here is therefore can be considered Europeans.

[2097: The Fast-Aging Disease is cured.]
http://tiny.cc/yg3ry
“Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute say they have for the first time partially reversed age-related degeneration in mice”
The experiment focused on telomerase, an enzyme that makes small units of DNA that seal the tips of chromosomes. These DNA units, known as telomeres, act like the plastic caps at the ends of a shoelace, preventing the chromosomes from fraying and the genes inside them from unraveling.
“By creating mice with a telomerase switch, the researchers were able to generate prematurely aged mice. The switch allowed the scientists to find out whether reactivating telomerase in the animals would restore telomeres and mitigate the signs and symptoms of aging.”
One worry is cancer. Tumors somehow turn on the telomerase gene.
It is the race of anti-aging vs. cancer.
Probably the 3rd world war is already happening, one which is unlike in previous wars, undeclared by countries.
The US diplomatic cable leak known as the Cablegate was released by Wikileaks on November 28, 2010. A 2006 memo from the US Ambassador in Tunisia provided detailed picture of how each family member of Ben Ali monopolized the certain industries and half of the economic elite was related to Ben Ali.
This became the catalyst for the 2010-2011 Tunisian Revolution when a recent college graduate who could not find a job burned himself during a December protest against massive government corruption.
The Tunisian Revolution became the model to overthrow autocratic government for other Arab countries (Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya, etc). After the fall of Tunisia and Egypt, long time leaders have seen no future to be tried for corruption cases so Libyan leader finally decided to fight back to the end. This plunges Libya into a long protracted war which drag western powers into military intervention because of humanitarian disasters but without definitive solution on the ground. It can easily drive other Arab states to muzzle its homegrown protests since Western powers is facing the dilemma of supporting its friendly Arab dictatorship.
If Baba Vanga is correct, the Arab war will last until October 2014.
Sam has something to say about all this again but I think I’ll blog about it than post it here.
I am interested to read Sam’s thought and yours into this.
The scary part is the radioactive showers in Europe by 2011. We knew Gaddafi was extremely vengeful in past with the Lockerbie plane bombing, and with his previous known interest to acquire nuclear materials he might be able to get one (especially that his family is already targeted) and detonate it in Europe (there are a lot of entry points), or he could have mercenaries sabotage the cooling system of a number of the 58 nuclear plants in France to induce meltdowns (Japan just showed how vulnerable nuclear plants are when cooling system did not function).
