Kotovasiya, Rabbit, Trendsetter, Bookcrossing, Forges les Eaux, Georgia

Hi guys! I missed blogging so much! I don't really that have much for this favorite hobby of mine, as I am currently preoccupied with studying. However, I would just like to share to you some cards that I have received two months ago :)

This card was sent by a friend for a swap, named Galina (Siberian-cat). She's an accountant :)

An official postcard from China :) Thank you laughingnando

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

January 25, 2013 - Friday

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.

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!

Some favorite received cards..

Hello again! It has been a long while for me. I still cannot access one of my favorite swapping websites, and still haven't received mail. But that's okay. I just want to show you guys a few postcards that were in my favorites wall...

From Russia, I got this card from a lottery in the forum..

This card from an official one.. From Netherlands

Also from The Netherlands, Telenn sent me this card via the "Travelling Birthday Card".

From Japan, these cute Hokkaido owls : 3

01/21 - Just realized another favorite from Turkey

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.

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.
