Hello There! My name is Jamie! I'm 25 years old and Filipino. I live in California, USA. I'm recently married to my lovely husband. I don't have kids yet. I just graduated from college. I love travelling and my dream is to visit Paris one day. I'm a big foodie too and will try anything. On my free time, I like to hang out with my husband, craft, watch movies, hike, and shop. I have suffered from Depression on and off since I was 19, five years ago. I think it's important for people to know about mental health awareness. I'm a swap-bot newbie but I have a very generous heart.

I'm currently working on a snail mail project called "Oh, Hello Mr. Postman" where every Monday I will write 2 letters to 2 strangers for a year! Links to my blog and Instagram are above.

My current obsession is with Filofaxes. I just started this past January with the purchase of a previously loved Compact Calipso in deep pink. I can't begin to imagine that this starts my addiction. My husband bought me the Original A5 Filofax in green which is my dream Filofax for our anniversary. I just recently got RAK'd by a lovely lady in England a Vintage Mini Malden in Purple! Now I just purchased a pocket Malden in Ochre. I'm addicted and, my collection grows.

I also love to Smash. I own 9 Smash books but I want to collect more. I completely finished 1 in 2 years but it's a goody because it included wedding planning/wedding stuff. I'm currently working on my 2nd Smash book.

I love writing letters and pen palling of course. I've written to people in the Philippines, Singapore, England, Indonesia, and South Korea. I love trading postcards, too. My favorite have been the "Keep Calm" postcards and these adorable people of different nationalities postcards.
