About Me

I'm a lowly government employee in the Philippines, who is also trying to do her Masters thesis at the same time. The reason I joined swap-bot is because the idea of swapping stuff to total strangers in the other part of the globe is really very intriguing to me. Hope I could please people with what I could offer as swap stuff to them.

Favorite Music

Depends on my mood and the time of day. Mornings and while reviewing for school, I prefer rock with a cup of good coffee. Office hours you'll find me listening to contemporaries and soft stuff. Then jazz at night before going to sleep and while winding down to relax.

Favorite Books

I love reading! I usually sci-fi and fantasy, with many non-fictions and a bit of mystery books. But honestly, I could also be reading vastly different stuff. Being a student, I also consume a lot of textbooks, mostly on remote sensing, gis and related geomatics stuff.

Favorite Television

I usually watch CSI, House, etc. I also like anime and mangas. I watch movies now and then especially sci-fi and fantasy stuff. I usually veer away from tearjerkers and horror though.

Favorite Crafts

I do cross-stitch & crocheting. I dearly want to learn how to knit! Unfortunately, I can't find any shop here that sell knitting needles, yarn, etc. I also do ATCs and other paper crafts.

Chocolates

Lemme see... I like anything from milk to dark chocolates, but no white chocolates please. Please nothing hard, anything that might hurt my poor teeth. I like peanut butter filling, something with nuts (if it's available, anything with pistachio or almonds), but not nougat, coconut, fruit filling. Please no filling that stubbornly sticks to the teeth and gum. I don't prefer the mass-market US-brands (hersheys, m&m, snickers, etc.). Thank you! :)

Comment: Loved the postcard and quote! Next time you might want to make sure your swap name is on the postcard also. I had a little trouble finding which partner this was.
Response: Oh dear, I quite forgot! Sorry about that! :(

Comment: Thanks for a lovely postcard! There were no stamps or postmark on the card, but I got it!!
Response: That's strange. The PO lady said she'll put the stamps later. Tsk, if I had known, I shouldn't have not left them with her. Now I'm wondering how on earth did it ever reached you in the first place. Weird!
