Stamp Collecting

I have been collecting stamps since I was younger, but I stopped for a while. Now I am so back to it. It was my mother actually who has a big collection since it was during her time that snailmails were the only choice of communication for businesses, far-away family and friends.
I've just been up to it again because part of my job is sending registered mails to people so when it gets back, it has a lot of stamps in it. I pulled it all off.

I've gotten a lot and I am arranging it cause I'm planning to have it compiled together with the old stamps I have. I don't mind whether these are just common stamps but I like it. And I will still collect it. I've tried purchasing the Manny Pacquiao and the then Pope Francis collectible ones at our local post office and its sad to know they say stamp purchases are only available at the Makati Central Post Office. Anyway, I can buy that on Ebay. So for now, these are the new ones I have.

 

I bought two refillable clearbook for my compilation. I will use the yellow one for the local stamps I have (Pilipinas) and the fuschia for the international stamps. May I tell you, my father used to work abroad during my pre-teen days until before I graduated high school, so we really have a lot of stamps from U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia. 

 These are the cute papers I bought, apparently its scented and a little glittery. I love it. Btw, the photobomber flowers are picked from my garden.
