10 UNSOLVED MYSTERIES

10. The black holesAfter having been considered a SCI-FI concept for many decades, scientists all believe today in the existence of black holes. These are, according to definition, regions in space from which not even light escapes. A black hole is supposed to absorb all the light that hits the horizon, reflecting nothing. Apparently, they form when heavy stars collapse in a supernova at the end of their life cycle. After being form, a black hole will continue to grow by absorbing matter from its surroundings. Also, scientists believe that black holes exist at the center of most galaxies. Moreover, our own Milky Way is believed to shelter a huge 4 million solar masses (the standard unit of mass in astronomy) black hole. Once one of the mysteries of the universe, black holes are now generally agreed upon and an universal recognition of the phenomenon occurred in the past years. However, for most of us ignorants,it remains nothing but a strange, interesting phenomenon.

Guess What’s On My Hand?

People like to search for love far and wide, but sometimes, love can be just found right next to where you are.

I’m getting a headache, Sophie thought to herself. It was such a nice afternoon and she was sitting under a shady tree on the school grounds. Her hand was bent over the world’s worst chemistry book, and it was the fifth time that she tried to get past the chapters first paragraph. Behind her, she heard footsteps crumbling over crunchy leaves. She was sure it as him.

Guess what’s on my hand? She heard Franco asks.

The Athlete – Lady Eagle Gretchen Ho

Gretchen Ho roars after scoring against their arch rivals DLSU Lady Spikers. 

I was just inspired to make an entry because I just found out that my idol Gretchen Ho of Ateneo Lady Eagles in the new team captain of the Ateneo Women’s Volleyball Team in this on-going 2012 Shakey’s V-League Season 9 – Conference 1, a pre-season tournament.

I was actually surprised that she’s the new team captain ‘cause I thought it was Dzi Gervacio. (I was hoping though that it was Gretchen, even if in the V-League alone. And it did.) So to my surprised, and as a frustrated die-hard fan of Gretchen, I did an entry regarding V-League and her leadership; and she deserves.
