Introduction

I've thought of starting a blog about my hobbies, (some of) my life tips, and lots more. But I am so lazy coding for some personal projects right now, and super busy. I've always been a fan of blogger/blogspot so I chose this over Wordpress. :D

So what's up? Here's to the first post, an introduction.

Hello, I'm Lynne and I'm from the Philippines.

Sounds familiar? :D Hehe. If yes, then you are probably one of my pen pals, or one of my parcel pals. :)

I started July 2014 when someone asked me if I were looking for a pen pal. I remember one of my good friends has a pen pal and I thought it would be fun to just try. My first pen pal is from Turkey, and immediately after is from North Lebanon (asking me for loom bracelets).

It was fun writing again so I started looking for more pen pals on Instagram, using #penpalswanted and #penpalsneeded. I actually got addicted on writing first letters. While I'm waiting for some replies, I am still on a hunt to finding more pen pals.

My goal is to have a pen pal from every country possible.

Unfortunate things happen though. My first "pen pal" received my letter, then immediately told me that she was not going to reply anymore because of how high the cost of posting letters to my country. I felt quite sad that time because I WAS EXPECTING.

Some weeks after, I got 7 incoming letters! I was really happy because that was the first time I received letters from "strangers"!

I became really very active February 2015! I even created a separate Instagram account for it. =)

Snail mailing opened me to a lot of creative hobbies, like watercolor painting, calligraphy, typography. 

That's all for now. I have a lot more stories to tell. =) What would you like me to talk about next time? =)

This blog site needs more work, but I'll code soon! :)
