Albufeira, Algarve, Portugal

Tito Francisco (BORRACHA) of Portugal sent me this picture of one of the beaches of Albufeira. According to him, this beach has a unique feature - that it has water bubbles arising from the inside of sand. It is called "Beacheyes Water".

He also sent five stamps in the envelope. How nice is that!

After church, my family and I went to eat at  Banapple in Il Terrazzo, Tomas Morato in Quezon City.

I also got a paper placemat.. too bad, it's now creased and wrinkled.

This one can be turned into a bookmark, as it has perforation in the middle.

Sarah's Letter

I have been thinking of Sarah's letter. Sarah is my penpal from Canada. I think this is her first letter for me in the year 2011.

School Project Opportunity from Suzanne of The Netherlands

 

Suzanne1804 searched for 10 swappers for a school project in the PC Forum. She's a teacher who works with children who have dyslexia, and she wants them to practice their English. Aww..

Of course, I do not want to miss this opportunity, so I instantly sent a message to her. 

That is the postcard that I picked received (I picked from her album, and she also picked from mine).

This is the postcard that I am going to send.

I can't wait to reply to Tim!
