About Me

Hi Everyone,

I am Cindy, and I've been living in Toronto for over 13 years. Prior to that, I was in Montreal for undergrad, Vancouver up until the end of highschool, Kaohsiung until the age of 10, and Tainan until the age of 4. I joined swap-bot after seeing littlepinecone's ugly PC swaps on IG and was very intrigued. I love snail mail writing, reading outdoors, going for nature walks, and doing creative things such finding swaps with different prompts.

I love receiving letters or an extra note with how you made the selection for what you put in the swap. If you are feeling chatty, I would be curious to hear how you discovered swap-bot, how you decide which swaps to sign up for, and what are some of your most memorable swaps (whether it's through swap-bot or elsewhere).

Favorite Books

Ties that Tether by Jane Igharo Untamed by Glennon Doyle, Two Trees make a Forest by Jessica J. Lee, Harry Potter series, Native by Katelin B Curtice, Maybe you should talk to someone by Lori Gottlieb, How Luck Happens by Janice Kaplan & Barnaby Marsh

I can always use....

letter/note papers, note cards, post cards, stickers, washi tape, (I love paper goods with texture or with a bit of gold/silver foil. I recently discovered letter press goods and would love to add more to my collection), interesting stamps (on the envelope is fine)

Favorite Movies

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs (1&2), About time (2013), The Imitation Game (2014), Love, Simon (2018), Ocean's 8 (2018), King's Speech (2010), Pitch Perfect series, Jupiter Ascending (2015), Half the sky (2012), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (1&2), Mamma Mia, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Social Network, Silver Lining Playbooks, Into the Woods, The Giver (2014)

Comment: Thank you so much for a lovely swap! I was so excited to receive this. The postage stamps are gorgeous by the way and I like the fact that u made a folder and mailed it off. That's so clever! I'm gonna try that one day. Thanks so much for the leaves again. I believe you sent me some before too! Can't believe it's already been almost a year! That egg themed stationery is adorable and the watermelon note papers and so are those food washi..mushrooms are technically food so I don't mind receiving them(I love anything mushrooms! 😁) If I could I'd give 1000 x ❤️! Thanks again Cindy! Till we swap again.

Comment: Thank you so much for your lovely letter and the fall stickers. I love the paper and your cursive was very easy to read (I teach high school students who would make doctors' prescriptions look neat and tidy!). The places you described sound wonderful -- I am a beach nut and tea shop fanatic, as well. And don't get me started in stationery shops! Thank you for being part of my swap, and I hope you join us for others!

Comment: Hi Cindy Sorry for the late rating. Your swap arrived in the mist beautifully decorated envelope…… such a delight to receive!! Your flower sketches are gorgeous…. Something I’m still trying to perfect. The pandemic has stepped up here and we’ve had some time in lockdown but hopefully times will change again in about two weeks with 70% double vaxed. It’s been a tough time for so many. Receiving swaps certainly brightens ones day. Thankyou 🙏
Response: Hi Cassie, glad to hear the swap reached you :) The lockdown measures are not fun, and I hope it won't last too long with the high vaccination rate in your area. Happy swapping!

Comment: Hi Cindy!! Thank you so much for your letter, I loved hearing everything about how you found this book relatable, it's funny you mentioned Addie LaRue as that was the last book club book we did! I also found the midnight library to be quite hopeful - which is nice these days!!! I hope you are doing well and I LOVE your handwriting as well - beautiful envelope :)

Comment: Dear Cindy, I feel like reciprocating your lovely correspondence. Brunei is facing the second wave of the pandemic since 3 weeks ago after 1.5yrs of no community spread. Your choice of washi tapes (that reminds you of COVID19) is very timely and appropriate and made me burst out into laughter. LOL. I have been eyeing Penpaling Paula actually and I am very excited to have my hands on her washi tapes!! Stay safe and take care!

Comment: Thank you so much for your letter! I think you are telling the truth about your job and the vaccines given! Have a wonderful day! Hugs, Diane
Response: Thank you for the lovely message, Diane. The promotion to the team lead position is what I wish happened, and I was very much saddened by the lack of willingness to shift some duties around so I would be able to take the position. When this swap came around, I wanted to opportunity to dream and to affirm myself. It felt really good to write that letter, and I know I have the skills needed for comparable roles. I just need to keep up the mindset as I keep on looking forward for future opportunities. Thanks for reading :) Cindy

hi Cindy,

I sent you an email a while back for the LLU: my public library photo swap #3; I don't need you to read/rate it right away, but just let me know if you can't find it and I will get a copy to you right away. Thanks! Hope you are having a good week :)
