My Philippines Stamp Collection

    I am lucky because part of my job has to send registered mails to customers and when the registry cards get back, I remove the stamps attached and add it on my collection. So mostly, I have gotten the  2015 and the past years series. I also have other stamps which my mom has collected when my father was abroad at the time when e-mail does not exist yet. Here are some of the stamps I have. 

1. Pineapple
    Philippine Popular Fruits    
    February 4, 2015

I added the Suha (Pomelo) leaf I picked from the yard that is perfectly heart shaped. 
   



 2. Custard Apple  
     Philippine Popular Fruits #2
     February 6, 2015

Again I added a touch of nature in the photo from the leaves of a plant that's very attractive. I sure think this will be a great addition to a flower arrangement.


3. Papaya 
    Philippine Popular Fruits #2
    February 6, 2015


4. Longnose Firefish
    Philippines Marine Biodiversity
    December 10, 2013

The beautiful two-colored Mayana leaf is the photobomber.


5. Murex Shell
    Marine Biodiversity
    October 25, 2011


6. Fire Clown
    Philippines Marine Biodiversity
    December 13, 2013



7. Oriental Sweetlips
    Marine Biodiversity
    November 4, 2011


8. Two-lined Monocle Bream
    Philippines Marine Biodiversity
    December 16, 2013

Apparently, I was not too careful, the paper got stained from the leaves' sap.


9. Pyjama Cardinalfish
    Philippines Marine Biodiversity
    December 10, 2013

I picked some beautiful flowers of Lantana. Just lovely.

These are the props that I used to lighten up my stamps on this post.




'Til my next stamp collection post. Btw, I am numbering each one so I'd have a count on the series I've posted. Thanks!
