World's Mysteries Blog

The Truth Is Out There

Above is the famous quote from The X-Files tv series which was the number one tv-show in the early 90s. The series told some unexplainable phenomenas such as UFO, spontaneous human combustions, freaky creatures, etc with its two detectives, Murder and Scully running around trying to solve the case. For me it was a really superb tv series and one of my favorites as I have a special interest in mysteries. Now after the tv-series has stopped being aired, I still have to satisfy my curiosities. So after doing some blogwalking and searching on the internet I have come across this site. The tag of the site says it all, "world's mysteries blog: unexplained phenomena, ancient history, conspiracies, occult, spiritual, anomalies & more". Thank god somebody made this site. I have been addicted since and keep on coming back to that site to read the new articles. But unfortunately the site currently only available in Indonesian. It has so many articles date back from 17th of April 2007, with its first published article called "10 tempat ter-angker di Jakarta" or the ten scariest place in Jakarta in English. What I like about the article written there is that it is the compilation of many resources. The author really has put some good works of finding, compiling and then writing facts instead of fictions. It is really an enjoyable and interesting site to visit.

Serie A Is Back (With A Bang)

At last the most awaited football league (at least for me) is ready to kick off. After the English Premier League started two weeks ago now welcome Italy's Serie A. This season promises to be a new beginning for Italian football. A year ago football scandal in Italy cost Juventus their position in the top flight, they had to go down to Serie B. But the Italian proved that they were still the best league in the world by winning the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Inter then won the scudetto, but not without many critics saying that they had been helped by the missing Juventus and Milan's point deduction. Juventus are back and Milan will start the season level on points with Inter and that promised us a really interesting season. Juventus have bought many new players such as Vincenzo Iaquinta, Tiago, Sergio Almiron, Jorge Andrade and Grygera while still holding on to their best players like Trezeguet, Del Piero and Nedved. Inter also made a few good signings with the likes of Cristian Chivu and David Suazo. If Juventus and Inter are very active in the transfer market, the same does not apply to Milan. They have only made one investment in the young Alexandre Pato. Latest news said that Milan have transferred midfielder Emerson from Real Madrid. This would make Milan like "little" Brazilian international team. Last but not least there is Roma. Many people said that they have done the best transfer in serie A. They have bought Ludovic Giuly, Brighi, Esposito and Juan. They hope to be able to compete with the usual championship contenders. After the lost of the Premier League - the local television in Indonesia has lost the rights to a cable tv - we can now be relief that at least we can still see the league from where the world champions is. Benvenutto Serie A! Forza Milan!
