Mails, and More

-
Because of Postcrossing, I have made myself an eager writer, and an earnest receiver of mails. It is the feeling of being so special by receiving something that made me travel to places I have never heard of, and never intended of seeing. Postcrossing brought me to places, taught me geography, and developed in me the virtue of Patience, that for each of the mails, one must learn to wait.

And waiting for some snail mail loving, I am a happy person. When the mail gets to my hands, my hands are over-eager to grasp it and enjoy it.

Thanks for the people who have made my days brighter by sending some mails.

From Dublin, this is Odette's postcard. And two more from Norway and Finland.

All the way from Dublin, Ireland

And if any of you are interested to send me some snail mails, feel free to do so, I would so love that. Hehee...

And here's a pic of me, feeling very tired from a day's work at the office. Only rewarded with a hot soup from Chowking!


Hmmm, I have an idea, why don't you post an image of yourself feeling so down and tired or one that you feel funny being photographed. Hahaha, wanna join? Post it now.

Nothing like a happy hello from somewhere else in the world :) Hrm, after today I might just have to post a down picture of me. It's going to be a tough day!

Snail mail is, sadly, a dying part culture. I mean I haven't received snail mail in months (even years!). People now mostly turn to the Internet.
How nice it must be to receive "mail". :)

It's always uplifting to receive snail mail. The thought of knowing that a person spent time writing it is a wonderful gift by itself.

Thanks for visiting.

I love letter writing (as in! my friend and I are trying to keep letter writing alive---one letter at a time), and I just might join this Postcrossing thing. Hmmmmm...I might even do a post on my letter set collection.

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion .

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s
