I was going through my pile of papers when I saw the bunch of letters and cards I received from way back. It included the postcards I received in 2012 from friends who responded to this
post I seriously forgot about these cards because the moment I got hold of these it was already months after Christmas.I remember receiving the last bunch of cards from my friend mid of March already. Ha! And now I felt the need to post this as I need to thank these people who "supported" me with my Christmas 2011 wish.
I got this cute card and handwritten letter from
Hi-C and Sam. Funny how,five years after, Hi-C's penmanship could evoke happy memories of our French course.Mind you,she was the best (girl classmate) in French,both oral and written,in our class. She was our source of notes and answers to assignments.While she'd diligently take down notes,most of us would just kill time and wait for her to finish.After that,we'd all go to our suki 'Ate,pa-Xerox.5 copies.' HAHA I think it's relevant to point out that Hi-C acknowledged on her letter that there was nothing much to write about since "we pretty much update our lives on Twitter and FB." I appreciated her time and effort in writing me a letter in a yellow paper which I have a feeling she got from her leftovers in college. Ha! And Sam's handwriting is cute,too. Something about kids who have just started learning how to write.I can honestly feel the sense of achievement!
I got this postcard from
Bambi & Kylie. To be honest, I didn't expect a postcard from them since I didn't get a feedback from them when I posted this Christmas wish. Was I surprised when they came home from Singapore for a short vacation and handed me this postcard of the famous merlion. At the back were four photos of me,three of which were taken during my birthday in 2010.By far,that was one eventful birthday I'd like to remember with so much positivity. And I'd like to thank Bambi and Kylie,among our other friends who were also with me that day,because if they weren't with me that day I don't think I'd still be around today. True story. On the lighter note,Kylie apologized that they weren't able to send the postcard through mail. Bambi on the other side, wrote his greetings in cursive but not without inserting that trademark Bambi humor---always including that
fat word as adjective to describe my heart but in truth pertaining to my physique. Bugoya bataa! Haha
These postcards are from Jason Paul aka Dong Paolo. I got hold of these in the middle of March. It would have been easier for me to give up and not expect from Jason but he was consistent with his promise to send me postcards. Almost every week, he'd tweet me and tell me,among other things,that he was on his way to the post office and the rain poured,he woke up late,he had cases to digest,prepare for the exams,the couple who occupies the room next to his are so noisy he had to go to the library to study. Haha. And then, their final exams came earlier and he had no more excuse to say so he had to send it or else. Haha. I like Jason because he is one of the few people I know who would speak of his hometown with so much passion and enthusiasm. Back in college,some of our classmates would bully him and say "Asa ng Cabadbaran?Naa na sa mapa?" And of course si Jason, bisan nagngitngit na ang pananaw sa kalagot, kabalo gihapon motubag ug depensa sa iyang beloved Narabdabac. <---Seriously, I had to spell it the normal way first before I spelled it backwards. HAHAHA And I'm still wondering why they keep on spelling it backwards. Well,I sometimes spell/call Cebu UBEC. But we never did it with Surigao though. HAHAHA
+++++++++++++++++++++&&&&&&&&&&++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++&&&&&&&&&&+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And that my friends is that one thing I wanted to receive on Christmas 2011----postcard/letter,handwritten and preferably in cursive and sent through mail.
Thank you,my dear friends! xoxo
