World Postcard Day 2021 (My Collection: A - Z)

In relation to the World Postcard Day celebration this year, I decided to share an A-Z of my postcards received throughout the past years.  I've been actively collecting quite a while through Postcrossing, though in my total years, I had 3 years of that on hiatus.  

While choosing the card to be posted in this post, I realized that I still missed so many countries to complete the A-Z.  I plan to this annually and I hope year, a new country will be added.

I also would like to promise myself to update my file (arranged by country) from this time until before the World Postcard Day next year. lols!    

I wish I can give more description of this card like who sent me and also the stamps they used.  But I have no enough time to do so.  I hope next year will be a better post.

Enjoy!

Lighthouse:Pigeon Point

This card arrived lately.  Abran sent in last April 3 and I received it around May.  It  is pandemic time and I observed this card traveled fast! 

Lighthouse is one of my fave postcard themes.  How I wish I could visit every Light house I see in a postcard. :)  There are not so many accessible lighthouses in my country even though we are a tropical country.  I've only see three - two (old and modern) in Punta Baluarte in in Cabilao Island and one in Ilocos, the Cape Bojeador.  All these were accessed during vacation time.    

Thank you, Abran for sending me this beautiful postcard.  This is the first of the three and I look forward to receive 2 more.  

I also love the stamps with its perfect cancels.   I am also glad that this card arrived for me without the unwanted postmark in the front of the card. 

Greetings From: Manila

 Someone on Facebook posted a RAK for anyone who wanted to received this Manila postcard.  Luckily, I was able to comment before the RAK call was closed.  

Thank you Mr. Mark Sy for sharing this beautiful Manila postcard.  This is the first of its kind and the design is one of a kind.  

This reminds of the song, Manila

The stamps used for this mail. 

DIY | Stamp Postcards

 While going through my piles of stamps, I come across some tattered ones and common doubles.  So I decided to paste them in a stock paper from a table calendar.  The result made me beam. lols! Loving my own yeah?  

Oh well, should anyone fancy DIY postcards, I would love to send this out for a swap with a DIY card or anything you want to surprise me with.

Winter Love (KOR-19930)

I miss South Korea right now. To ease a bit of it, I have to make this post. I entitled this card "Winter Love". I admire the artist who made this card. The picture exudes warmth in the midst of the winter cold. I am not sure if this place is in Nami Island, but it is beautiful. I am hopeful that someday, I will get to experience the beauty of the winter in SK.

 

You & I
"Winter Love" 

This card arrived during the pandemic time.  

Lovely stamp!

South Korea | Song Joong Ki

Song Joong Ki

Another face that I went gaga with last year. 
I even leaped for joy when he proposed to one of my fave Korean actress, Song Hye Kyo and married her in October.

I discovered his charms in Descendants of the Sun drama, where he and SHK were the lead stars.
