Sailor Moon is one of my favorite characters when I was a young child. I have also dreamt of having long and blonder hair like her. Thank you nekorin for this card!


Cape May Point Lighthouse
Cape May Point Lighthouse is one of the most popular lighthouses in the United States. Thousands of visitors come each year to photograph this beautiful lighthouse. Photos: Richard Tamburri & Jim McWilliam
This lighthouse card is sent by CaptainSoul as one of his offer in the forum. He's so nice, that he sends cards to fellow postcrossers. I might collect lighthouses someday, not just at this point. Thank you Tito Ron!

I wasn't able to have the scans of their stamps. Tito Ron always has great stamps :3

I got a Hello Kitty card from the forum tag. It was sent by naosheep from Japan. Sadly, I wasn't able to scan this picture. Probably next time.

PHQ CARD!!



This card was favorited 85 times, and sent by yuen.
Neon Fantasy on Nathan Road.
This is a composite creation made up of many of the best neon signs on both sides of the harbour. Many of the signs represent some of Hong Kong's best restaurants and night spots. The street is real and is Nathan Road in Kowloon, also known as "the Golden Mile".

This one is from Gabi (Izmya).

She sent me one card from my favorites wall. It was favorited 10 times.

She also included two bookmarks, and two cute plasters... and that Simpsons sticker.

 - >Also got a penpal letter from Sweden.

This got me surprised and thrilled. Inside the envelope is this card, together with my first kawaii sticker sack! I'm so happy :) Thank you Anicka!


This card is sent by the generous Anne-Elliot/Kim.

This time, Tito Ron sent a map card of the US. I do collect map cards, most especially those cards sent from the state itself. Thank you CaptainSoul!

Parcels and Cards


Our Internet connection has been down lately... so I haven't been able to post what I have been sending and receiving. Well, last week... I have received these cards:

Received on June 5, Tuesday from seeing who made a private swap with me in exchange for a birthday card for her friend. So sweet :)

The following day, June 6, I got this card from my regular postcard swapper, Mme Annick from France. She sent me this postcard... which is in my favorites! Thank you so much <3


For Monday's mail... which was June 11... I got these lot:


A Korean Periodical, Two Postcards, One mail from Joyce Meyer Ministries, an envelope... and another parcel notice.



This postcard was sent by kirjakko from Bookcrossing... aww. She has went to Berchtesgaden, Königssee, and Kehlsteinhaus  in or almost on the border of Germany and Austria. How cool is that! Thank you for sending me a postcard!



This postcard is a from Suzanne1804's project: "receive a card from a student and send one back"


The host is a teacher, who wants her students to learn and enjoy writing good english sentences. I have participated in her project before (I think this is the second time, or the third?), and always enjoy it.
On the back, a student named Reno, 13, and who likes to play the PS3,
 mentions that this is the place where he lives. 

This just makes me realized that I love to participate in helping people with their projects ^0^


June 11, I really cannot miss this chance to go to the post office in Quezon City... where my parcels are held. It's because, one or two of my parcels will be returned if I don't claim them by this day.  June 12, is the day where we celebrate our Independence Day, and by then, offices are closed.




Claiming the parcels, the guy mentioned that my payment for them was incomplete. Puzzled, I asked why??
And it's all because, I have a 7TH PARCEL to claim!

(UBOS PERA... tsk tsk) Money Gone.
Before I show you guys what are the 7 lucky parcels that I receive... here are the contents of that envelope... the one in the middle of the Korean periodical, and mail from Joyce Meyer.

A notecard "Drawing of a woman's head" by Leonarda da Vinci











Well, these cards are from the May Postcard Train (International), hosted by ladyaries7.
You take out as many postcards you like, then replace the same amount. 
Going to send them next to EnchantedKittenz in Canada.

Scanned these pcs as well.


SO, here we are... the 7 lucky parcels. I'll reveal them to you next time ;)
Stay tuned.
