Time again to mail a fresh batch of postcards, so I sneaked out while the little man was busy at playschool. This time around am sending a bunch of official Postcrossing.com card, as well as an assortment of cards for direct swaps. I ran out of stamps so I decided to visit the Post Office branch near the Water District instead of going to the Main one at the Capitol compound. As usual, they do not have the latest issued stamps available {like the glow in the dark varieties and the Year of the Horse Chinese New Year commemorative stamps}, but am glad they have the recently-issued Christmas stamps, so I got a bunch of those. Hopefully the recipients of my cards will love the stamp even when it is a few months delayed.

Here is the list of the postcards I sent today:

Jump-starting this year’s postcrossing by going to the Post Office after the little man’s first day on his new playschool on Monday. I have a few backlogs in my swap last year and am just relieved to finally be able to send every postcard that I have not been able to send last year.

Here’s that day’s mailing list:

• Ryan, Malaysia ~ Fort Del Pilar
• Arnold P, USA ~ Casa Gorordo, Crinoid Harboring a Wrasse, Banawe, Moray Eel, Life at Se, Rice Threshing, Royal Gate of Pagsanjan, Tarsier, Mayon, Mouse Deer
• Clarissa S, Japan ~ Luneta Lagoon
• Edwin S, Bahrain ~ Parian Gate
• Arlene C, Iligan City ~ Fort Santiago
• Ria R, Naga City ~ Fort Santiago
• Ruby R, CDO ~ Parian Gate
• Arnold P, USA ~ Fort Santiago
• Dinnah G, USA ~ Entrance to Fort Santiago
• Cecilia N, USA ~ Entrance to Fort Santiago

I do apologize to my swapmates that their cards are sent out a little bit late and I do hope they arrive in no time. I really look forward to swapping with more people this year and building up my collection. So while I read all about this Reid Supply leveling devices, I am alternately browsing these postcard images on Facebook for more potential swaps.

Here’s wishing you all a great postcrossing year!

11 December was my my last mailing day for last year. It has been quite a while since I’ve been to the local Post Office as I have been busy with my work online that is why it is such a welcome change to be visiting this place again before the year ends. I took a quick snap of the cards before I gave it to the kind ate  for posting.

Here’s the list of the cards I’ve sent that day:

• Edwin S, Dubai ~ Manta Shrimp
• Annie S, Rizal ~ Vintage card
• Amit S, India ~ Aerial View of Manila vintage card
• Michael R, NY ~ Greetings From Manila vintage card
• Sarah R, Germany ~ recipe card
• Joyce C, Davao City ~ Parian Gate vintage card/Pitik-Bulag
• Maja B, Poland ~ Humpback Whale
• Yenny A, Indonesia ~ Blue-Naped Parrot

Hopefully these arrive to their respective destinations safe and sound. Have you mailed any postcards today? I would love to read all about it in a comment below and if you’d like to swap with me, simply let me know by using my Contact Form. Thanks and happy postcrossing!
