I’m selling my toy collection to buy a psp.

My classmates were all getting PSPs.  They had found a super cheap deal on the internet which was 9,900 php for the PSP with all the accessories, usb cables, protectors and all that.

It occurred to me that now was the perfect time to buy a psp.

I have a nintendo Ds and I’m perfectly happy with it.  I always felt that the ds was the superior system.

I guess my reasons for buying a psp are:

• I just wanted to experience some decent gaming graphics for a change.
• It’s super cheap now
• Everyone was getting their psps.

I put up my toy collection on e-bay.  It was gathering dust and It had become boring to look at anyway.  I sold my dragons for 3,000php and I’m hoping to at least make 5,000-7,000 php from sales.

I accompanied a classmate when he went to meet-up with the seller.  I pride myself on not having had console envy ever since I bought my DS but when he unpacked his brand new psp and played a game to test the unit, I felt a HUGE TWANG of ENVY that lasted for about 3 seconds.

Then I went to robinsons ortigas to meet the guy who was buying my dragons.  I watched Mamma Mia! and I went home.

I had KFC’s Kung Pao chicken and I liked it so I am probably going to go make a better version of it next month.

I hope my chicken turns out as well as this picture.

The Ghost stories of the doomed ship: M.V Princess of the Stars

Here are the stories that are floating around the net  and some that have been sent to me through text.

Ghost story 1:

A Coast Guard diver recounted that in one instance they had trouble lifting the anchor of one of their rescue ships.

The diver said the equipment used to pull up the anchor seemed to get stuck on a large rock on the seabed.

But when they dived 95 feet under the water to see what was wrong, they said there was no obstruction to the anchor and they lifted it with ease.

Ghost story #2.

Residents reported strange knocking sounds out in the middle of the ocean at roughly the same time the princess of the stars sank.  They said that the knockings sounded as if someone was pounding desperately on a door or on a wall of a boat.  They have also heard wailing and the crying of a child.

Ghost story #3.

A ship that shone like gold was sighted in the middle of night passing by the spot where the victims died.

Ghost story #4.

A fisherman was out sailing near the spot of the ship.  He threw overboard an old flotation/life saving device that he had on his boat. The flotation device was old but it still was working.

As soon as the device touched the water,  It sank into the depths of the sea as if someone was desperately clinging to it. It never returned to the surface of the water.

Ghost story #5.

Fishing is not allowed near Sibuyan island due to the capsized ship’s cargo of Endosulfan, a toxic pesticide. But even though there is a ban on fishing, people of the island are not in the mood to eat fish or crabs anyway.

They believe that the fish and crabs have become fat from feeding on the dead bodies of the victims and that a human face appears on the shells of crabs that have eaten human bodies.
