A Man Sells His Life on eBay!
Years ago, I’ve heard of a small town auctioned on eBay. I thought it was one of the craziest auction I had encountered. But then, come another crazy auction: a man selling his mother-in-law (or it was the other way around?). And now, a divorced man sells his life on eBay. He says the initial trigger was his breakup with his wife. Now, you can call it crazy love.
Ian Usher realized he needed a fresh start so he put his entire life up for sale on eBay, from his toys to his toilet paper, ABC News reported.
The man has an odd way of letting go and moving on, literally!

How God made the Philippines
I was reading some friendster messages a while ago when this particular message struck my attention.
Read this interesting story:
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God, “Where have you been?” God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds, “Look,Michael. Look what I’ve made.”
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, “What is it?” “It’s a planet,” replied God, “and I’ve put Life on it. I’m going to call it Earth and it’s going to be a great place of balance.”
“Balance?” inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. “For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, but cold and harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and pleasant.”
“I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched deserts.”
“This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice.”
The Archangel, impressed by God’s work, then pointed to a group of Islands and said, “What are those?”
“Ah,” said God. “That’s the Philippines, the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests.
The people from the Philippines are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world.
They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving and they will be known throughout the world as carriers of peace and love.”
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, “What about balance, God? You said there would be balance.
” God replied wisely, “Wait until you see the idiots I designated as their leaders.”
