I'm from The Philippines. Mail might take a while to get to you. Our mail system is really terribly slow. Please be patient. Thanks!!!

note: I don't personally mail my swap out. I either ask my husband, sister or our office messenger to mail out my swaps. I click sent as soon as I hand it over to them to mail out. Knowing that they would mail it within the day.

I'm a mother to a 6 yrs old boy and a 4 yrs old girl! They can be quite a handful!!!

I am not very artistic even though I really want to be. I am not a crafter though I love to buy stuff from craft stores. 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 scrapbooks, project life albums, art journals, smash books, junk journals & sketch journals. I may not be artistic enough to make one but I surely love getting inspired by them. :)

I love to shop and I love looking for stuff & buying people what they like. One huge reason why I like joining profile surprise type of swaps.

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.

I am very much into cute blank planners/agendas from Japan, Korea, Taiwan & China. I have collected a bunch now that I've run out of place to put my planners collection. I also love deco planner stickers, washi tapes and mini rubber stamps that I can use for my planner. I love decorating my planner with cute things.

I recently discovered the amazing Filofax, MidoriTN & Hobonichi community on Instagram & YouTube. And I am hooked!

I currently use a Neon Pink Fauxdori, Korean Planner and a Hobonichi.

I love stationery! I can never leave a stationery shop without buying something. Be it a new sticker sheet or a cute pen. I love washi tapes, sticky notes and I am absolutely obsessed with cute notebooks & planners (like I said before). :)

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, Charmed, Veronica Mars, teen dramas like Dawson's Creek. One of my fave now is BBC's Sherlock. I also like watching reality TV shows like American Idol, The Voice, Biggest Loser and Pinoy Big Brother. I am a huuuuge fan of Asian Dramas. My faves are Coffee Prince, It Started with a Kiss, They Kissed Again, Hana Kimi, and loads more.

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

If you are looking for a particular item that you think I can get you please don't hesitate to get in touch with me!

I usually join profile surprise swaps (I love shopping for other people!), mail art swaps, journal swaps, lists type swaps and Q&A type swaps.

I'd like to think that I'm generally a nice person. I try to see the goodness of others rather than the bad. :)

My fave colours are pink, black & grey. But I love all colours actually. I don't have any hated colour. I like pastels & bright colours!

I love getting handwritten letters & notes.

Handmade things makes me smile. I am obsessed with hand carved rubber stamps! I like paper crafts like handmade & hand drawn envelopes. Mail art also intrigues me. Handmade note cards, postcards or ATC's. I love journaling and anything about art journals! I love looking at art journals! I'm a sucker for cute doodles and illustrations. I love fashion illustrations! I'm a beginner in all craft related things but I really do my best to make them look nice!

I am really interested in Smash books, Project Life, junk journals, sketch journals, art journals, deco journals, hobonichi... Basically all types of journaling & planning in general.

I love buying scrapbook accessories & embellishments to use on my decorative mail art envelopes as well on my planners & journals. Such a pity that we don't have dedicated scrapbook stores or craft stores here in my country. :( I am always drooling over the nice amazing designs available online.

I adore cute things! I really do! Reason why my husband is complaining that I like to collect junk. And I am now running out of space to keep my cute stash. But I really cannot resist anything that I find cute. Hehehe.

I'm a huge fashion junkie! I love clothes & shoes! My fave type of shoes are oxfords, brogues, loafers, platforms and those amazing statement shoes! I love maxi dresses & skirts. Blazers & jackets are a must have too!

I love sweets! Especially chocolates, cookies, cotton candy/candy floss and ice cream!!! My fave flavours of ice cream are green tea, vanilla, chocolate truffle, cookies & cream and cookie dough! I love adding toppings of mini marshmallows & rainbow sprinkles! I am not much of a cake fan but I adore blueberry cheese cake!!! I love love chewy cookies esp. the chewy fudge & chocolate chip cookies. Oh! And brownies too! I love brownies a la mode! So yummy! Nomnomnom...

I am a chocoholic! I love all kinds of chocolates be it dark, white or milk chocolate but I don't like the ones with fruits or nuts though. I looooove Japanese chocolates! One of my fave is the maccha flavoured nama chocolates from Royce. So yummy! I also love Meiji chocolate macadamia. Oh, and Patchi chocolates are one of the best chocolates I've ever tasted!

I love to eat! My fave cuisines are mostly Asian like Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese & Mongolian. I also like Italian (pasta & gelato), Mediterenian & Mexican (tacos & burritos)! I love ramen, sushi, takoyaki & yakiniku! Dimsum, peking duck, hainanese chicken rice are love love love. Steaks, burgers, baby back ribs, caesar salads, hot dogs, fries, cold cuts (deli meats) and cheeses are my favourite too! I am a big junk food junkie. Gimme those crisps! My fave flavours are seaweed, sour cream & onion, cheese & sour cream.

I'm a huge bubble milk tea drinker! Yummy!!! Great thing that we have a bunch of pearl milk tea cafes all over the metro. :)

I spend my free "me" time reading fashion & style, art journal, organizing & crafting blogs. And doing random crafts for my swaps here in swap-bot. Or just writing in my planner or journal. I also love to search and download cute fonts & printables! Sometimes you'll find me reading fashion & craft magazines or books.

I am a huge stationery addict! I love cute stationery! Deco tapes, stickies, cute notebooks, planners, rubber stamps, journals, stickers, washi tapes, envelopes & letter sets... I'm also a huge pen enthusiast! I love them pens! Gel pens, inks, sign pens, coloured pens... etc. etc. I am currently going crazy over fountain pens at the moment.

I love shopping!!! Shopping in any form! And shopping for anything, be it clothes, shoes, crafting supplies, stationery, etc. Shopping makes me happy! :)

My fave countries are Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and England. I'm a huge Anglophile & Japanophile.

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.

The Kiddos

If you want you can send stuff for my babies. My 1st born is a boy. His name is Eli. He's 3 yrs old. He likes books, teddy bears, cars, boats, airplanes, animals, puzzles, dinosaurs and balls. My baby girl is 2 yrs old. Her name is Yllana. But we call her Elan. She likes books, balls, teddy bears, and whistles. :)

If you did not receive anything from me please send me a message first. 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.

I also rate as soon as I receive swaps. If I haven't rated you yet that only means I have not receive your swap/parcel. I don't immediately rate 1's with out communication. I'd let you know if I haven't receive your swap past 2 months. Well unless I noticed that my partner's a flaker or has been partialy suspended then I will rate a 1 even without contacting them.

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 !

Flaked on...
