Angkor Wat, Cambodia; Tibet; and Australia & Norfolk Island

Oh how just I missed blogging! I missed scanning postcards, and taking pictures of everything sent. Hello everyone! Thank you so much for being loyal in this blog.

Today, I'm going to feature three postcards that I just received today. The mailman arrived while I was sleeping.

So the first postcard is sent by a very nice backpacker from Indonesia. I found her name on Twitter. Thank you so much @sheilakartika! It was very nice of you. And it is very nice of you that you even sent a postcard to me, despite of the horrible pickpocket situation O.O!

I hope I can also go to Indonesia sometime :)

This postcard is sent by sky_wang from his trip to Tibet, China. Thank you so much for this lovely card! I know a person who went into Tibet, and did an amazing thing there.

This postcard was given by a nice lady from Australia. I think this was sent from Norfolk Island Maxicard, but the postcard is from Australia. Thank you to Sharon (scubaduba) for this UNESCO Card ;)

This card features the Old Military Barracks at Kingston, Norfolk Island. 

Kingston is a part of the World Heritage Site. 

She even has this Kangaroo postmark.

Big Package of Friendship Books, Hanseatic City of Lübeck, Tsarkoye Selo

I was calling my school today because of some questions I have regarding my enrollment, and while I was on the phone... Mr. Rudy Amaya, the postman (and now you know his name) gave these..

That big package from Malaysia makes me excite... while that white piece of paper makes me so nervous.

Nervous because I have another Parcel Notice that I have to claim. (-__-)

I have Four of these in my hands, and I should claim them as soon as I can. Each parcel that I have to claim costs Php 40 or around a dollar. I could  have used the money to send 3 postcards or a letter in Europe. Well so much for that... 

I believe I have posted one like this before, but I still want you guys to see:

Now that I have my own postal ID, I don't depend anymore to my nice postman for his signature. I used to make him sign these notices so I can get my parcel... not anymore! (*^▽^*)

So for our first postcard, here's a card sent by Nordbaer from Germany. He hosted the "FIVE years of fun" in celebration for his fifth anniversary in the forum.

He gave away Five Surprise Prizes, and drew another five participants who'll get a written and stamped postcard.

He got me a new card for my UNESCO Collection. *(^O^)* 

HANSESTADT LUBECK
Burgtor

This card came from Anna (Anchuta), and shows Tsarkoye Selo... St. Petersburg. This card was sent through Walltype (#1)

Just love that stamp...the texture seems engraved : 3

Meanwhile, this is the insides of the envelope sent to me by Ate Ashley (verlustangst). It has been a long while since I got a thick pack of mail. Weighed this one out, and it was around a lumping 300 grams!

WOAH for me...

Thank you very much for these! I'll make sure they get passed soon. (Hoping you do well at work!)

Lots of friendship books and label bags here.

There's also one friendship book there made for a certain individual in the Philippines. I'm so happy that I finally saw another one again! I don't see Filipinos swap these friendship books lately, but anyways... I think that fb has been travelling for around 8-10 years.

Better return her full FB now to her.

And just recently, I was able to contact her via email and facebook.. (whoo! good thing she has an email addy), and saw that she's happily married now, with a son in the UK. :) Awww.. 

BTW, I'm giving away some FBs and bags to Filipino individuals who's into penpalling, or who would like to see what friendship books and label bags look like and be able to pass them up.

 Just leave a comment, and I'll prepare it while I still have time in my hands.

From a Hiatus... the First Post in 2012

Hi everyone! The three first months of 2012 has been really busy for me, especially those are the days where my professors gave us exams, projects, and other group requirements.

Anyway, I would just like to show you some random mail that I got before, and after. I tell you... there are lots, but somehow, it's kinda difficult for me now to show them all to you.

First, let me show to you these postcards sent by CaptainSoul, the generous postcrosser who offers a postcard for free to those who request. He sent 5 postcards in an envelope, with the 5th postcard sent to him back written and stamped.

Next will be these postcards sent by a Bookcrosser.. from her trip in Rome.

Next will be two postcards I received from the swaps I hosted in Swapbot... the Random Postcard Swap series. Both of them were from Finland.

This one is a UNESCO site, as according to the sender. 

Meanwhile, I got this postcard when I saw her information from a Friendship Book. Since I only have one postcard from her country, Luxembourg, I decided to email her... and it was the first time that I have emailed someone in a friendship book. We swapped postcards, and I asked for a UNESCO one.

Pretty beautiful for me :)

The Logos Ship also docked in Manila, Philippines sometime before April... and I got to snag three postcards. There were actually 6 different designs, but I only got 3 since I have no more spare money left.

Lastly, there was this lottery that I won in the postcrossing forum.. and when I got the envelope, I saw this very unique postmark, which I must really post here. (Thanks zeroday) He got this Mailer's Permit! Soooo cool! He can personally cancel his mail.

That's all for now, folks. Hoping to feature more next time.

Some mail received this week.. June 11

 

 This Indian bothered to send this postcard (which is a UNESCO site) by registered. The very first time that I have received a registered letter (I always have registered parcels, and was amused that I didn't paid anything for this one)

IN-20301 travelled 5,100 km in 28 days and was sent by penpalkamran.

From a Tag in the Forum

 

This one came from Tita Hazel, who I have swapped in FB (Big Smiley ^^)

 

 

This was a beautiful postcard, unfortunately, this one was accidentally delivered to my place.

BY THE WAY:

These are some of the few received. My week was been a joyful one! I have more, but I wasn't able to scan them all.

Grand' Place (aka Grote Markt) BRUSSEL

This is the MARKET PLACE!

And in the middle, you can see the Flower Carpet. In 2008,  there were about 800,000 flowers that were used. 

Thank you to Tita Krista (morganalefay) who sent BE-91613 which travelled 10,517 km (6,535 miles) in 33 days!

Bird Stamps : )

There are so many people!

Leaning Tower of Pisa

Tita Luciana (CatWoman) allowed me to choose a card from her album when I won in her "Lottery for my 3rd anniversary", and I chose this one!

I have been anticipating for a card like this when I was a new postcrosser, and a collector.

 

Thank you very much! ^.^!!
