• When sending items to the Philippines, please do not declare at customs. Packages, parcels, or even just envelopes with the customs sticker (CN22) are charged a service fee here in my country, even if they are sent as gifts or even if the declared value is $1.00. In short, if your mail has a CN22 sticker, I have to pay to receive it.

• Most of my family members have scent allergies. Please avoid sending items which smell strongly of perfume or cigarettes. Thank you!

• I am sending swaps through my country's ordinary postal service which will take several weeks (the longest was 63 days!) for it to arrive at your country. Unfortunately, this service does not offer any tracking number but I will be happy to send another package if you don't receive what I have sent after 2 months. Please send me a message and let me know first before giving me a negative rating!

Hi! I am Diane or @poppypaper on Instagram. I'm from the capital city of the Philippines, Manila.

About me:

• I love to travel and to see things with my own eyes which is why I’m not a very big fan of photography or tourist/view postcards. I especially love traveling to Japan! I try to travel to Japan at least once a year and would like to live and work there someday.

• I am in love with all cute things in general! I love kawaii characters (current faves are Mewkledreamy and Chairoikoguma), Disney, cute food, and illustrated rabbits. SEND ME SOMETHING KAWAII AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER
  ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ

• I am a huge Disney fan and have been to all the Disneyland parks in the world. My favorite is the one in Tokyo! I haven’t been to Walt Disney World though so it is a big dream of mine to be able to go there. Although I love Disney, I’m not that much of a fan of Pixar, Marvel, and Starwars.

• Aside from collecting postcards, stationery and snail mail, another hobby of mine is baking. A couple years ago, I decided to study pastry arts on the side and got my 2nd diploma.

• I drink coffee or tea at least once a day. My favorite kind is chamomile or anything dessert related like vanilla or strawberry! I am not a big fan of herb tea as I would rather eat herbs than drink them. I also don't like the taste of turmeric so please avoid sending me anything with that spice. I like chai though! I love cute tea bag packaging (like Karel Capek).

• I am pescatarian! This means I don’t eat beef, chicken, pork, and other similar meat, except for seafood. I do eat dairy and eggs, still!

• I studied Mandarin in Beijing for a few months in 2019 so if you know how to write in Chinese, please do so! I would love to practice/ review my skills!

• I started my postcard collection in September 2017, when I joined Swapbot.
