Tanzania, London Olympics, Owl, Domokun FBs, Angry Birds, 3D Card, Liberation of Bursa

Hello everyone :)

I have been receiving good mail lately.. 

Got a book sent by a very nice person from England, and it's a favorite of mine! 

I also have received some cards.. but what I'll show here in this post are past postcards.

1) First, allow me to show you the last 5 unscanned cards (which are now finally uploaded)

This card is a 3D card sent by  WernerTitz

from Germany :)  It says I <3 Family & Friends, and I <3 Kurztrips

This card was sent by Nataly from Ukraine, who's a fashion designer. Card was designed by Natalia Derevianko, and was entitled "For You..."

This card was sent by jbwainwright from England :))

He's so nice to send a card from the London 2012 Olypmic and Paralympic Games

This is my first Angry Birds postcard, which was sent by Marianne from Finland :)

This owl card was sent by Yi-Chun from Taiwan :) Thank you so much for this card!

Those train stamps are also great!

2) Next are other bunch of postcards that I have received:

 

A nice swapper sent me this Postcard from Malta :)

I got the card from a swap. Her message was written in Turk, so I wasn't able to understand it at first. But the card is celebrating the "Liberation of Bursa". On the stamp is Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

Tammy (nanatam) from the USA sent me this notecard for the Favorite Scripture Swap, and she even included a sheet of stickers! Thank you :)

And then we also have this card

which was sent by Trisk from Brazil :) I won it from a lottery in the forum. 

A very nice Taiwanese swapper sent me this IKEA favorite of mine for the AR-Postcard Swap #8.

 

3) Here's a new postcard from a new country! Hoping I could be pals with this guy!

He sent this postcard inside a brown envelope, and was from this place itself - Dar Es Salaam Tanzania. This postcard made me change my perspective more of this country. Thank you!

4) One of my pals from Thailand, Nathan, has replied me in his letter... with very cool stamps!

5) And here, you can find two of the new friendship books I made. They're much better to look at when they're taken of a picture, instead of scanning. Hehhee... If only I have border stickers, I could probably make these more beautiful :o

 

and here's one that I still got to send

 

Aren't Domokun so Cute?

So that's my update for the meantime. When I'm not that much busy with studies, I'll try to post more. I am especially active in blogging when it's around April to May as that's my vacation. Hehehe...

Cheers!

PS. This card from the Netherlands was also part of my favorites: (4 times)

SENT ITEMS: Friendship Books and Penpal Letter to Netherlands

 These are a couple of friendship books that I made for myself. It's my first time to use those embellishments (which were sent I think by Jackie Moreno from a RAK). I haven't seen border stickers in my country, so I only use what I have in hand.

On the above picture, you can see the grainy picture of the fbs I made. Bottom is a much clearer one. (I just like the grainy pic)

As for this one, it's actually the items I sent for a swap called "10 Fbs". These are going to the USA. I have also added excess sticker bags as I know that they need to get on moving.

Here is my penpal reply letter to a friend in Netherlands. There's a long story on how we met :)) Hello M!

Those two postcards needed to get on rotation, so I sent that together in this letter. She was a participant. And, I've used a special "Mama Sita" souvenir sheet on the envelope.

As for this one, actually... they're excess bags and friendship books. They have been stuck with me for long, and need to get them on moving! There are lots of bags there such as

ATC Paper Bag, Surprise Bag, Sticker Bag, Memo Bag, Goodie Bag, Colour Bag, Label Bag, Nice Bag, Sticker Bag, and more I think...

Friendship books here..

I actually sent 14 fbs I think. The one with the Teddy Bear and the Halloween FB didn't got included.

I would also like to post the pictures when I sent them in their envelopes, but the pictures are in my dad's phone. Well anyways, the following were posted on May 17, 2013 - a Friday, at night time. But the post office was already closed, so it'll start its travel on Monday, May 20.

P.S. Any Asian FB swappers out there??

Kotovasiya

Received this card from the mail today. Thank you Galina (siberian_cat).

I also have received a letter from Nathan, from Thailand. So far so good.

Going to send out

2 postcards
a big envelope of friendship books
2 letters

2 Map Cards in the Mail : Maine and Pennsylvania

Today's mail was unexpected. I wasn't expecting anything today.. until I saw the following two cards in the mail:

This postcard came from State College, Pennsylvania, and was sent by karry from a swapping site. 

She also sent an envelope filled with nine cards, and a notecard. They were so great! Got the latter one last Friday, April 26. karry just recently celebrated having 400 5's in the site, so she gave 3 envelopes of  10 postcards each! Really was nice, and thank you for matching the postcards in my profile ♥ ❤

Meanwhile, this awesome postcard was sent by Stacy for the Random Postcard Swap #17. 

I am currently collecting state map cards, sent from the state itself. Currently have 14, and today... received 2. Only 34 states to go!

Both of them got this round 2013 stamp on the card.

April 2013

Hello guys,

Just dropping by again. I kinda missed blogging about the mails and letters that I receive. There were loads of great, generous, friendly, people there who sent awesome mail.

I would love to scan out some cards, but the scanner and the laptop nowadays are sometimes unavailable. I mean, whenever I scan out, our laptop gets glitches. So I rarely do that now. I might use my phone to post out pictures here.

As of the moment, I would like to thank my penpals who have been palling with me for one year :)

• Roland Holm from Sweden
• Lisa Austria from Austria
• Kate from Russia
• Oksana from Russia

Oh, and there are three penpals that I do miss. 

One is Sarah from Canada, VANESSA SERRANO from California, USA; and HYEIN PARK from South Korea. I wonder what happened to you girls... 

I'm looking forward to the friendship we had.

What else, hmmm... 

I want to show to you the mails that I have been receiving. But yeah, when I'm able to blog, I'll go go go.

(What's on my mind recently...)

#business

#OJT/Internship

#Australia

I hope I can finish all the mail obligations I have before May starts, so that I'll have a fresh new start :3

Cheers!

PS. Does any of you would like to experience or get friendship books? I have tons that need to pass out.  (ASIA and AUSTRALIA only) Just comment :)

Thanks!

This card was sent by Sylvie (Sylvie-Bouneweg) as an official card, and was favorited 6 times in my favorites wall. 

Grand Duke Henri, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, and Prince Felix

This was a former favorite, an official card sent by a Dutch :)

Received this from Natalia (NatalySh), favorited 4 times.

Received this from Annie (annie19960430) from Taiwan. This card was favorited 12 times.

I have received other interesting mail and cards too, but too bad, we won't be able to connect our laptop to the scanner. (due to wires)

I'll probably take pictures next time by camera phone.
