How to connect to people-- all over the world #Postcrossing

I think every (typical) girl goes through that phase in her life where she has to write a letter to a "bestie" (my bestfriend and I dont call each other that though) and just write something! Kahit pinaka non sense thought ever, I think it's an untold rule... or that's what I think. I remember getting letters put inside the Tofi luk and Hersheys foil wrappers. And don't deny it, don't it feel good reading a letter na puro memories and pangbobola? And with our fast paced environment it's always nice to have something to look back and meron ka pa pang #throwbackthursday! Up until now, I still have that habit of writing letters to friends every once in a while. Birthdays, graduations or just sweet nothings. Though I barely get any!! *ehem ehem*

Luckily, just today, a friend of mine told me to google Postcrossing and that I would really appreciate it... and so I did and just imagine how giddy I got when I discovered what Postcrossing is!

 Based on their website (http://www.postcrossing.com)

  The goal of this project is to allow people to receive postcards from all over the world... The main idea is that: if you send a postcard, you will receive one back from a random Postcrosser from somewhere in the world. 

Isn't it cool?! My entire life I have only received two postcards, one from my dad, and just recently from my aunt. I have always been fascinated with this kinds of stuff. You know... the things that only happen on movies. You're a hopeless girl, with random dreams, meeting strangers, changing lives... pa-hipster ba! It's always a fantasy of mine! Hahaha walang pakialamanan.

I just think it's a great way to connect to people, find your inner "traveller", and explore! I just needed to share this one so if in any case you guys are interested, just register and start sending those postcards! :-)


PS this is not a sponsored post. F na f ko kasi mag endorse hahahaha! 

Another cool discovery: BookCrossing (http://www.bookcrossing.com/)

"the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise." The term is derived from bookcrossing.com, a free online book club which was founded to encourage the practice, aiming to "make the whole world a library."

À plus tard, (Im learning french!!!!)

My April Faves

For this post, I'm going to share with you guys my April faves! It's just anything and everything that I find cool and fresh for the month. Plus, Im seeing so many people do this... hahaha. Joining the bandwagon you know. So here's a few, and I hope you enjoy reading! 

Cookie's Birthday

My brothers and I surprised (I love giving AND getting surprises) my sister on her birthday, and I hate her for knowing about it way before the "surprise". Kami pala ang masusurprise hahaha

I <3 HK shirt pasalubong

I love getting pasalubongs from people I love most, not because I'm getting free stuff, but because they were thinking about you on their trip! No one can beat that feeling (unless may sobra lang pala sa take home pasalubong nila. Ouch)

Touch of Beige

I'm super duper in love with this color right now!! I think it's super girly, cute and elegant all at the same time. Plus, its pastel/semi-nude shade is perfect for the summer season!
Sassy nail polish (got it only for 20php!!!!!!)

Pentatonix

Recently discovered this acapella singing group, Pentatonix, over the internet. Though I know that they're already popular cos of the million hits that their videos have, I'm always this lame that I only "discover" cool stuff (product, show, music, etc) when they're already super popular or is about to get out of the limelight. But anyways, just in any case that we're on the same boat, I'm going to post one of their videos on my next post ;)

Meteor Garden

Surprise, surprise!!!! Now you now, how lame of a person I am, for not having the F4 fever, more than  10 YEARS AGO. Well, of course I know who F4 are + Sancai, and that super cathcy song, Oh baby baby baby... but honestly, (my bestfriend is witness to this) I have never watched a single episode of Meteor Garden! But just last thursday, I came across this tweet saying OH.MY.GOD. plus a youtube link... and yeap, it's the Meteor Garden S01E01, I tried watching just for the sake of watching, and in that instant, I fell in love with F4!

I can go on and on about my F4 fever but I'm thinking of putting it on another post HAHAHAHAHAHA

I've Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella

This is my latest/lastest book read. And I just have to say that this novel is amazing! If you're into light and kilig love stories, this is a must-read! I don't wanna spoil the story, so better go ahead and do yourself a favor- read!!!

Glamworks Permanent Hair Dye Color

I've been wanting to dye my hair but Im scared that it might turn out jeje-ish or something and I dont want a drastic change. I went to SM last week and was checking out kikay stuff and I came across this hair dye. I was wondering why ist flat, I mean it's not in a box, unlike the usual hair dye. I found out that it's a shampoo-like dye so it's easier to apply. Ive only heard of shampoo-dye from Etude. I didnt know we locally have this type, so I think it's worth the try and its so cheap! (50php) The smell is soooo nice. It has this fruity smell and you wont think that youre applying a dye at all. After rinsing and blow-drying my hair kinda turned light, thiught you can barely see the difference, but it's fine cos my hair is soooo black that it's really impossible for it to take effect unless I bleach my hair first. But maybe with a few more applications, may magiiba din! ;;)

What are your summer faves? Tell me!!
