Postcrossing #2

This is my first cat postcard and my first irregular shaped (quite big as well) postcard. I think it says "Hi folks!" that is according to Google translate. The rest I didn't try to understand but since this is my first cat postcard, it is loved.

Metered stamp
One thing is that the sender didn't have a nice stamp but that is fine.

Postcrossing #1

This is the first postcrossing postcard I got. Too bad that the post office decided to stamp the front of the postcard. An act that should not be done as I heard but the Makati Central Post Office still does.

The card shows a converted Trabant. A simple but good card.

Here is the clean and stamped postcard.

Dating postcards

When mail comes at home most of the time (I think all) of the time I am at work. The post office seems to collect a number of postcards and mails before they send it to me. 

Anyways I am still not done organizing what postcards I have into albums. (I need to also show how I organize my postcards in the future.). That means most of what I will be getting will be undated since its also my problem reading the cancellation dates on most of the stuff I get.

Dating things gets a bit easier when you have swap sites like postcrossing and swap-bot.

So here are some of the postcards and cards I got. Soon details of each postcard and mail will be shown. Promise!
