It has been my dream as a child influenced by the game "Sonic The Hedgehog" series, to hold a chaos emeralds in my hand. In my perception, the chaos emerald is a marvelous gem to be looked at. At first it was hard to guess its size and weight as in the first game I do not remember sonic holding it in his hand. In the first game "Sonic The Hedgehog (1991)" there was only six emerald. Later, the number was bumped to 7. To transform to Super Sonic, one would need the power of the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Though, shadow only needed one, albeit a fake one to teleport. Well... dreams do come true, as you will soon see by reading this article.

I first read about the hoax from a fellow deviant at DeviantART .The hoax that one could actually own a Chaos Emeralds in this real world that we are living in. After reading about his post, it seems that the chaos emerald is indeed real and anyone can obtain it, for a small fee that is....

No wonder after all this while, my search of the Chaos Emerald had been for naught as no one was really selling "chaos emerald". In this world, they are called "glass diamond paperweights" . So begins my quest in obtaining all seven. No matter what the cost is.

 After searching in eBay, I finally found one Chaos Emerald (Green) . Without thinking any further, I have decided to make it my first Chaos Emerald. This post and the next posts with the tag "Chaos Emerald" will be my adventure in obtaining all seven. After completing my order, I payed for the item using paypal. The seller name was edenteas

The shipping for the Emerald took a long time to arive. It took 42 days to arive at my home. Well, as long as the item arrived safely intact and not a scratch on it, then thats fine by me. The package was received by my wife yesterday as I was at the office working. I came home, and there it was, the package that supposedly contains the Chaos Emerald inside....

My Playstation 3 "Hagane" / Gunmetal Limited Edition With DualShock 3

After thinking and rethinking about it for some time now, I have decided to get a PS3. A friend of mine, has already got it and kept saying to me of how marvelous the graphic and gameplay of the games on this next generation console is. So, after being poisoned for quite sometime now . I've decided to get one.

I started searching for informations about the Playstation 3 all over the Internet. That is where I found out about the PS3's potential to become a Digital Media Entertainment Center for the home. And to note, PS3 is also the cheapest Blu-Ray player available to date and as we all know, the Blu-Ray is the best quality one could get for a movie / sound. This strengthens my resolve to buy it even more.
