Shakespeare, Jetoy, Acapulco (Mexico), National Geographic, stamps,

I made a trip to the post office again, because I am about to drop Caroline in the mail. I failed to do so. But still I sent the following:

• A late birthday card to my young cousin in Australia
• A postcard to a my brother who's in Pampanga..
• An official card 
• Two envelopes with three postcards each going to Singapore for a private swap

Well, I saw this postcard around my postcards, so I thought of scanning and featuring it here.
I received this Shakespeare postcard sent by a nice bookcrosser, from UK. Thank you Anne-Elliot (Kim Lange). She was the one who also sent me my first Penguin Book (in my favorites) postcard :)

For Friday's mail, I got these:

A Jetoy Card from a private swap from Emma (CYF). Thank you Emma for sending me this postcard, and for the lengthy message. You write great in English : ]  It's in my favorites, and was favorited 16 times.

This postcard was sent by a nice bookcrosser. Thank you Camikatzy for the Acapulco PC. It's my very first postcard from Mexico, and I must say that I like it a lot. The stamps are great...

Tita Lynette (Biker) sent me DE - 1369350, a nice lion postcard (inspired from my profile).  I find her and this card cool! My first National Geographic card. She sent a separate note via PM, and sent this inside ann envelope together with a business card and a Dutch stamp.

This card travelled 10,257 km for 18 days.

Another envelope of stamps from pumuckl. This is brickfield's stamp bag, and I must say... they're pretty awesome! Saw rare countries like Rwanda and Antigua. I tried scanning the envelope, but I think I forgot to save it. Mr. Ulrich sent an envelope with nice stamps, and a nice postmark. 

I saw this postcard right now. My sister mentioned to me that it was also in the pile of mail that I received last Friday, but I guess I didn't noticed it.

This card, RU - 909490 is from Russia, sent by Veronika (nika_kre) and travelled 8, 648 km  or 5,374 miles in 46 days.

18th Birthday Card to LAlala Lyra :D

My friend, Lyra Santiago, celebrated her 18th birthday last May 17, 2012 at a resort in Montalban, Rizal. I wasn't able to give my gift that day so I decided to send her the birthday card I bought through mail. I hope she will be surprised :)

I also sent a reply to Mr. Roland Holm of Sweden, and Aira (my sister)'s  first postcrossing card to Taiwan.

I was also happy today because I got the opportunity to buy commemorative/special stamps. For the past few months, the local post office was out of stock.. and now, I bought these:

2 souvenir sheets of Ateneo de Zamboanga University

and some stamps featuring Davao's 75th

I used three stamps in today's mail.. so that's why it seems missing.

Arriving home, I got this Chain RR postcard of Leksi from Russia, sent by yuen of China.

I'm looking forward to picking out what stamp she might like :)

Oh, and for the last part... 

I want to share this picture of those who went to her birthday partay...

The one in the middle, that's her alright. 

The one who's wearing yellow is Jayvie Piamonte :)

TW-536110 travelled 1,152 km in 14 days and was sent by winniepoohbear. I just got this scanned today, so this is why I am featuring it.

For today's mail, I received the following:

A postcard from Morning2 for our private swap. This is the second card that I received from her, so I'll be sending her another card.

  

                                         

Next is from a private swap from Ms Cheerful, who I got acquainted thru facebook. She was generous to offer Laos postcards : ) This is the newest country that I received after how many months. Thank you very much for this opportunity! 

And the last piece of mail for the day is from a batchmate of my mother in high school, who works as an engineer. He sent me 6 mint souvenir sheets from FRANCE! You don't know my expression when I opened that envelope. I felt like a child :3

Thank you Mr. Herman Leuterio! Sabi ng nanay ko, ang sweet niyo daw po. Hindi nga niya  aakalain na magpapadala kayo :D Napakagandang surprise for the day! LIKE

Just realized that the mail I have to send is piling up. Going to make a trip to the post office tomorrow. Thank you for your time reading this. Feel free to make comments.

Thank you to everyone:

♥flamingold/Singapore

♥Leksi/Russia

It travelled to these places.

I got this postcard, together with 4-5 more postcards from my father who got it somewhere (a trade fair??). I think this is from Boracay.

January 20 to May 21, 2012

This Chain Card was the card that I returned back to Flamingold. I feel bad about putting definitive stamps... but anyway, I just feel funny because the local post office even cancelled out those stamps that are not even from the Philippines : p

Getting back...

I have always wanted to post here now and then, but it has becoming difficult for me to post entries especially that I have to scan the postcards that I receive. 

Anyway, this was the mail that I received last May 8, Tuesday.

Fifi Lapin in London (TW -536110) was sent by winniepoohbear from Taiwan.

That cute card (UA - 255263) was sent by Ninchik.

and that envelope you see there is sent by Suvi from Finland. It's filled with sticker bags, label bags, and other bags like surprise bags and cute items bag.

Meanwhile, I got this envelope on May 10, Thursday from a private swap. Inside are 6 postcards related to air mail :)

These are the Friendship Books and some sheets that I sent for the 50 Grams FB Swap #2 to BlueBelle of IL, USA.

I actually have more mail received, but these are the only ones that I have pictures of. I'll try to add more pics later. Thank you for your time reading this :)
