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!*

Feliz Aniversario!

It’s one month before I turn 26 and I don’t quite feel like it… argh. Can someone stop the time pleaseee?? But looking at the brighter side, here’s another birthday wish I got a couple of years back.. from Brazil :) Yes the only thing I love about birthdays is people’s thoughtfulness, especially when you get many birthday cards from Postcrossers filling your mailbox so you can at least forget for a while the nightmare of getting older! ;)

I guess I’ll just feature another card from Dine now that this one looks rather related. This cute comic illustration is entitled “Chico Violeiro” and showing two famous Brazilian cartoon characters: Chico Bento (Chuck Billy) and Rosinha (Rosy Lee). It was actually made as a parody to the painting “O Violeire” by Almeida Junior in 1899. Here’s a picutre of the original painting I found on internet:

ovioleire

Ain’t this lovely? :D:D Almeida Junior was the most important Brazilian realist painter from the 19th century and a major inspiration for the modern painters. His artworks mostly pictured rural figures, specially farmers and the countrymen that is a kind of a symbol of the rural areas in São Paulo.

Random Act of Smileness for Postcards Friendship Friday

Postcrossers are known to be lovely buddies who love to make people smile for no reason! :) My very first postcard I received for Random Act of Smileness in the forum was sent by no-one but dear Chat Noir. I know I have featured many postcards from him in this blog.. then again he’s on no #2 in the ranking of the contributors for my bigass postcards collection.. I think I have received over 20 cards from Chat Noir alone, but among those bunch, I can’t help showing off this particular lovely card that really put a BIG smile on my face…. I swear it really did. :))

Not only this card was a real surprise, but it was much much more than wonderful to make me the happiest person on earth just the moment I looked at the back of the card….

Sorry, I know I should not scan the sender’s message BUT I can’t help showing off this!!! XD XD XD And it came as my first RAS postcard!! I simply had a crush on Chat Noir because of this special postcard… ahhahaha.. but I have no idea why he left Postcrossing now…. sigh. I didn’t finally have a chance to meet him even though we planned it twice.. lol… long stories..

Okay so this post is dedicated to Chat Noir and my fellow Malaysian Postcrossers, you really know how to rock!! HAHA and we’ve been a good family, no? :)

Happy PFF!
