PFF – Back to school!

Hiya Friday Postcards Friends!! :) I haven’t done much postcards blogging lately, been messed up with many things and I guess it’s gonna stay like this for quite a while. But I just want to take this opportunity to blog on this blessed Friday coz Marie the lovely hostess has cheered me up with her public birthday wish (I am *still* blushing if you can see me) and I have also a public message to you guys who have visited me a few times here especially on PFF.

Well, remember the cute postcard sent to me as a Random Act of Smileness I featured on PFF many weeks before? The postcard I’m featuring today is somewhat the idea of RAS as well, only I had received this card way before RAS officially existed on Postcrossing forum. And still it was really a sweet surprise, for no reason, just to make me smile – and sure I did! :)))

A beautiful picture of Ameri’s historical house in Iran. But what’s written on the back is in fact more beautiful..

I think Omid doesnt mind I put his message here as he’s no longer on Postcrossing since years..  When I saw this card in the hostel mailbox, I was like, OMG, that’s the thoughtful of a postcard swapper who’s actually a loving friend I didn’t know! I was living in the student hostel over the years of university time, and only came home to collect my mails once a month and though I did give the safety-suspicous hostel address to Postcrossers for some reason (okay, coz I was actually impatient to wait til get home!) but a lovely surprise like this really cheered me up alot from the boredom and craziness of living in the hostel!

OKAY and why I do feature this card now, you ask? Coz in a few days, I’ll be back to school again!! AGH! I’ve been accepeted to do postgrad studies in Electronics starting July, and by end of this month I’m going to a new university to see a new environment and new guys perhaps, after half a year of rest and half a year of job and half a year of rest again. And that will also mean a rest of my Postcrossing activity again.. *sob sob* plus I dont think I can drag the huge box of postcards along to wherever I’ll be living for the next one year, therefore don’t be surprised if you don’t see me update my postcards blog as usual.

So it’s sad to announce this, but this is perhaps my last entry of PFF for now, I am not sure when I will come back on postcards blogsphere again, but just wish me luck for my school comeback – coz I hate classes!! =___=

Happy happy PFF my dears! And many thanks for having visited me in past weeks, you have no idea how much it really made my days!! :D *BIG BIG HUGS!*

Birthday cards 2006 – 2008

I have freaking turned 26 today. I don’t want to talk much about it. But being a Postcrosser, there’s always something to make me smile on my birthday!

No, it’s not the cake!! But cards!! :D Yes, the lovely Postcrossers have always cheered me up regardless I hate the fact that I get older on birthdays! :) In this post I would like to thank a heaven to everyone who spent some time writing and sending me your lovely wishes, you have no idea how much it means to me!! :) BIG BIG HUGS!!!

OKAY that was  a postcards SPAM -______- but I can’t help it coz I did receive alot of birthday cards in past years!! (and of course, a portion of them are thanks to the fact that I put a “tiny advert” about my birthday on my forum signature once, well, hence those expected surprises :P and a few from Birthday tags and RR as well.. so I did not receive all these merely because I am a total celebrity or anything :D though it’s good if I were one lol). And still my dear friends Postcrossers, you are the best!!

Persian traditional costume

Today is the 40th anniversary of my dear Ipuenktchen with her beloved husband, so I dedicate this post to them! Okay so here are yet a couple more Iran postcards I received from her in past years. I am lucky to have two of these lovely cards showing ancient Persian costume.. they’re just like a treasure!

This doll is wearing traditional costume from Kashan, a city in the desert with old houses, wind towers and ancient gardens. At the background of this card is Baghe Fin garden, and a museum which also has a similar puppet of 0.5m tall, wearing this costume.

This is a tradtional costume from 100-200 years ago!! Well, same landscape at the background, only the image is clearer here. This museum actually is home to many display puppets and mannequinns dressed in ancient Persian costume. It sounds like an awesome museum! Okay, a bit of history: this Fin Garden contains Kashan’s Fin Bath, where a chancellor was murdered by an assassin in1852. But the garden was constructed as early as 1571-1629 during the reign of Abas 1 of Persia.
