About Me

I'm from The Philippines. Mail might take a while to get to you. Please be patient. Thanks!!!

I joined swap-bot in 2007 but left when I became too busy with the preparations of my wedding. I recently rediscovered this site and trying it for another go. :)

I'm a mother to a 1 yr old boy and with another one on the way. And it's a girl! I am mighty excited as we now have a set! :) I cannot wait to have my very own little dress-up live doll! Hahahaha. A mini me would be super cute!

I am not very artistic even though I really want to be. I am not a crafter. I like to dabble in craft once in a while but often times I just finish a project or two then get bored and move to another or just completely lose interest. I am a huge fan of fashion illustrations and cute hand drawn doodles. I love looking at those type of art. I also love looking at art journals & sketch journals. I may not be artistic enough to make one but I surely love getting inspired by them. :) Lately I've been pretty much interested with 'mail art'. I would love to receive & know more about this type of art.

I am obsessed looking at all the adorable stuff in pinterest & etsy! I love looking at all the organizing & home tips I can find in the net. I also love looking at home decor blogs. And I absolutely adore craft printables & fonts! I simply cannot have enough of those!

I like to collect a lot of things. I have a huge collection of shoes. Yes, I love shoes. I had a closet especially made for my shoes and now it's filled so I need to search for other place here in our house to stash them. I love fashion! I love anything to do with fashion! I like to dress up and look nice. I am particularly fond of Asian (mainly Hong Kong, Japanese & Korean) and European (British, French & Scandinavian) fashion.

As of the moment I am very much into cute blank planners/agendas from Japan, Korea, Taiwan & China. They are a bit kiddie looking but I don't mind since I really don't like the plain & business looking ones. I also love deco & planner stickers and mini rubber stamps that I can use for my planner. I love decorating my planner with cute things. For 2012, I am currently using 3 planners. Silly I know but I can't decide which planner to use so I decided to use all 3!

I love to watch TV. I am a TV junkie. I love procedural dramas like CSI, fantasy/sci-fi like Grimm, Being Human, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, teen dramas like Gossip Girl, The Secret Circle. One of my fave now is the British show Sherlock. It's the best!

I am open to One on One/Private Swaps. Just send me a message! :)

The Don'ts

I don't drink coffee.
I don't understand sports. Not sporty at all.
I don't like chocolates with raisins, fruits or nuts.
I don't like nuts that much.
I don’t like confrontations.
I don’t like mean people, they scare me.
I don't like country music.
I don't like really spicy food (mild ones are okay).
I don't like Diddl, Moomin, or Looney Toons stuff.
I don't like to exercise.
I don't like bugs/insects at all.
I don't like reptiles.
I don't like anything too gory.
I don't like anything skulls or dark side stuff.
I don't like anything goth or wicca. I don't like those dark vampire stuff.
I don't like home made printed kawaii stationery (like printed letter sheets & memo sheets... unless they are custom made or personilized)

The Kawaii Info

I don't really have a fave Kawaii character. You can send me any kawaii character well maybe with the exception of Diddl & Moomin. Oh, no Looney Toons, Nikelodeon or Cartoon Network charaters please. I am not a huge fan of Disney stuff but won't mind getting them. Some Disney stuff are cute too especially the ones from Japan!

I love cute things!!! Nothing to worry if you'd like to send me big kawaii brands (Sanrio, San-X, cruX, etc.) or other Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese & Chinese kawaii goodies. Everything is welcome as long as they are cute! But no ugly fake goodies please! I'd rather get an unknown character than get a fake Kawaii stuff.

About Swaps

If you did not receive anything from me please send me a message first. I do send all my swaps and it might have gotten lost on its way to you. Or if my parcel arrived damaged, as it is more possible for International swaps. I am more than willing to resend! Do let me know. :)

Also please be patient as it may take a couple of months (give or take around 2 to 8 weeks) before mail gets to you as I am from South East Asia, the Philippines in particular.

Just something to remind me: To insert a picture do this: ! [alternate text for your picture] (http link) (but remove the spaces between the 3 elements)

To make a clicky link do the same thing without the !
