Warning: This is a post Christmas post. Not that I'm lazy but because I don't want to let the spirit of the season go. At least not yet. I'm still nostalgic with the food, decorations, gifts, the presence of family members and the comfort of home.
Rewind: on the second week of December, something came in the mail for me from the land of the kings and queens. At first I couldn't believe the fact though I'm already holding it on my hand. I'm way totally awed to received something from the place I long wanted to visit. It's a double intense feeling because I know it's not just a Christmas card, there's little pieces of happiness inside.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves of how great this dear card is. Of course goosebumps and bliss to realize that snail mail is not yet gone. Thanks sis Kris for making my Christmas extra special. If you wanna experience the life in UK though you're not there, visit Kris' blog, Kalokang Buhay ng Isang Pinay sa UKay and be struck with the cakes she bake, the Legoland and bits and pieces of their life in the UK.
my first card from UK - first - as though anticipating for more to come (hahaha)
lovely message full of love.
Wouldn't your heart skip a beat to see the handwriting of a friend you've come to know while blogging?
Now when I read Kris' blog, it's though I am seeing her handwriting legibly scribbled on the page.
as promised - sorry for the picture's poor quality
little happiness with the card - additional collections and a great idea for the wrapper.
THUMBS UP!
Dear Kris: Thanks for the happiness, card, greetings, wishes, the stamps
and for the wonderful friendship that just crossed the boundaries of the blogging world.
I will be forever grateful.
I will be forever grateful.
Ang sweet naman sis, I am so happy that you liked the card, my message and the stamps. And yes, snail mail is still very much alive. Nakita mo ba yung pic sa last post ko, some if those cards were posted to us & yes it is special =)
ReplyDeleteAko din sis, very thankful for the friendship. I really hope to meet you in person sa Pinas or dito someday.
Much love, kris xoxo
Awww, reading a snail mail is heartwarming nowadays. It's kind of refreshing. :)
ReplyDeleteAte Kris is soo sweet. :)
Happy New Year Sey. Wishing you all the best this 2012! :)
napaka thoughtful naman ni krizzy.. Have a nice day sa inyong dalawa..:)
ReplyDeleteI think it's wonderful that you got mail from overseas. That is always a special experience.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you received mail from England. I've always felt that mail from another country was a special event.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's so funny that you posted this right before I posted my blog about snail mail! Something is in the air. :)
ReplyDeleteCool. I dream of going to the land of kings and queens too. and yes, to actually share a friendship that will cross the virtual world.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!:)

that was sweet of her! snail mail is still the best. the waiting makes it worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. UK is one of the places i want to visit.
Awww... I got the same card from the same super sister Krizzy. When I finally got the card, I smelled it, held it on my chest, near my hear as if it can take where it came from. I guess it did, somehow.
ReplyDeleteCute stamps for your collection. I'm sure sobrang happy mo talaga.. love you twin sis.
cute nung pagkakagawa nung laman ng card. ay parang ang sagwa magcomment ng tagalog english yung post eh hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love getting cards at Christmas time too... from far away and people I miss!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Sey & glad you are still enjoying the spirit of the season!!! :-)
Hugs,
Coreen
i love reading letters!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, ganda!
Buti nalang nakaka-pag-comment na ulit dito :)
thanks Ganda - Happy New Year too. I love letters too and I will do a letter project soon.
ReplyDeleteFor some reasons I can't explain, I suddenly misses the good old days of reading letters. Days when the www was not yet existing. and the excitement of reading scribbled words never fails to excite me.
ReplyDeleteit's okay. No problem kahit mag-comment ng tagalog. Ang ganda nga ng sulat ni Kris.
ReplyDeletesuper happy talaga twin sis, cause finally I got something from UK..to be added on my collection. Wait, I forgot to smell it but I jumped for joy.
ReplyDeleteLove you too twin sis.
someday we'll be there Jan. Yes, I am still a fan of snail mail and I miss receiving some.
ReplyDeleteI think more dreamed of going to the land of the kings and queens and yes, sharing friendship outside blogging from people you met on the blogging world exceeds the feeling of happiness.
ReplyDeleteI was awed too when I saw your post right after i posted mine. I think we really miss the good old days of snail mail.
ReplyDeleteit is indeed a special event. Momentous in single word.
ReplyDeleteIt's really special George. I will never forget this for the rest of my life.
ReplyDeletesuper po mommy. have a great day din po.
ReplyDeleteoo sis, I saw those cards. At you gave me an idea what to do next Christmas. Thanks again. I am super happy and until now, hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala na I got something from UK>
ReplyDeleteSweet! Such a wonderful Christmas card! Happy 2012 to you and your family!
