On ".Till Death Do Us Part"

During a casual chat with a friend whose status returned to single because her partner got into another domestic partnership, the friend uttered the essence of the phrase "'Till Death Do Us Part". She explained that moving on is definitely going to happen with time if the death of the husband is the reason for the breakdown of the union. Moving on may not happen if by chance, time and again, you get to bump into your x-partner as you go your way through any day. It is not impossible that if your partner did not leave you because he/she has moved to life after death, you will be meeting each other somewhere, sometime and the mood will go awkward, uneasy and difficult :)

Prize for attending wake/burials

The priest who officiated a mass during a wake of the late mother of a friend implied in his homily that if you want a team to welcome you to heaven when it will be your time to die, you must attend wakes and burials. The departed who die before you will form a team that will say WELCOME to the new world should your life on earth end. Of course, you will prefer that the time is not soon.

Hottest News in the Philippines Today 2 October 2022

A lottery draw happened the night before today. The lottery game is known as the 6/55 Philippine Charity Sweepstake Office Lotto Game. A player had to choose a group of 6 numbers from the numbers 1 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 54, 55 for a fee of 20 pesos for the combination of 6 numbers. If the 6 chosen numbers come out in any order during the drawing of 6 random numbers, the player wins a jackpot prize. Mathematically, there are 28,989,675 possible unique combination of 6 numbers from the 55 different numbers. Therefore, a player who puts a bet on 1 combination/group of 6 numbers has 1 out of 28,989,675 chance of winning the jackpot prize. Such transforms to 0.0000000345 or 0.000000345% probability of winning. The general implication is it is almost impossible to win. Surprisingly, it was announced that 433 won the jackpot. Even more surprising is the nature of the numbers that came out during the draw. The 6 numbers that came out are the multiples of 9 that are in the range of the 55 numbers. The combination of 9,18,27,36,45,54 turned out to be the 6 numbers that came out. Talk about randomness! It seems the numbers are defiant of the randomness concept. Talk about an almost 0 probability of winning! It seems 0% chance is not real. Talk about FORTUNE! Luck is life for the many.
