Grand Canal in China, and Texan Flowers :)

Herbalization sent this UNESCO Card depicting a part of the Grand Canal in China. According to him, this shows a section in Taierzhuang.

There were also matching stamps as well! Oh thank you so much! Wasn't expecting to receive a surprise card from you :)

This card is an official card sent by Rhonda from Texas. 

Thank you so much for this flowers card, 

it's pretty alright that you still send them :) Thank you so much!

Great to know that you have learned something about the Philippines! 

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)

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.

Teddy Bear Photo Postcard, and some FBs

Today, I got one card at the post box (well at least I had one), and it's a cute Teddy Bear Postcard <3
This one's from CaptainSoul again. Thank you so much for sending one!

and... he always uses great stamps.

and mind you.. I also took a picture of the friendship books and some bags that I'm going to send to scrutiny for winning my "Friendship Books Lottery/2nd Year Anniversary". 

They're around 100 grams. Congratulations Teacher Iris ;)


Just added... here are also the stamps that I'm going to send out for the Round Robin Used Stamps in the PC Forum.

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.
