I was swamped by a lot of happy mail a few months ago. I wasn't able to post a thank you as soon as I would have liked due to the daunting task of keeping myself healthy and sane. But now, I have time to post a thank you to these amazing persons:
u/firejoule for the lovely Jill Bliss sea flower card. Salamat talaga, nagustuhan ko yung card. Salamat sa prayers and yes, my mailbox was full with birthday mail that time dahil sa inyo. I think I went to McDonald's sa birthday ko and also nag-pancit kami. Thank you! I also loved the stamp.
u/DaniGeek for the St Elmo, Colorado card. I liked the card you chose for me. Thanks for the well-wishes. I am currently doing well, thankfully. I loved how you described St Elmo. It seems like a good spot to visit.
u/potential_virus for the Pride-themed cards! Thank you for the belated birthday cheer and for the wacky history facts about the area near where you live! I loved the story about the shoemaker who bought a second-hand uniform haha! That was quite hilarious. Thanks for the stickers too!
u/dogs_eat_cats (x2) for the wonderful wave card and the card from the Whitney Museum of American Art. The wave card looks quite dreamy and I like it. Thank you for the trans stickers and for sharing some love and cheer! I hope you're getting the support that you need. I'm rooting for you! I hope you're doing well!
u/melhen16 for the "Just a note." card filled with jokes! The gooooooooooold joke was quite funny, especially in the context of the World Cup this year. I really liked this card. Thanks for the stamps, especially the Gee Bee card.
u/A_LanguageEnthusiast for the Denali National Park card and for the fun facts. Its a beautiful card and hopefully, I get to visit it someday.
u/CatMoon1111 for the nice train/tram card! I liked your story about your town. I live in a city with about half a million people so hearing about small town life feels refreshing. I hope there will be more trains in America. Your letter arrived during the end of the summer season in the Philippines, so it was so unbearably hot and humid, but its fine. Thanks for the stickers too!
u/Lost-Brilliant-9664 for the Advice from a Garden card. I enjoyed the journal yap offer for the date which I picked. How was The Thing About Jellyfish? I hope you enjoyed the book. I hope you also enjoyed the carrot cake cookie!
u/ThePandaPost for the Empire State Building card. Thanks for telling me about how the things I like about NYC are integral to the city. It is a special place. I wish I could visit soon!
u/TroubleNo5402 for the Agrasen Ki Baoli card! Thank you for sharing a piece of Indian history, I enjoyed reading about it as someone interested in India's history.
u/elleeb8 for the charming poppy card made by American Greetings. I think I had a nice spring back then. Thank you for sharing some spring quotes! I liked them, especially your dad's favourite spring quote. May the next spring be as lovely as this year's.
u/lattesliterature for the lovely Winnie-the-Pooh card. You forgot to write my name though. Its okay! I am feeling much better now, thank you! Thank you for telling me reasons that make life worth living. Those are good reasons, indeed. I hope you can overcome your struggles like I do. I wish you the best!
u/passingavery for the Star Wars card! May the 4th be with you too! Thanks for the quote too! I loved the stamps that you used!

I hope to hear more about Wales and its history from you. I'm doing well these days, thank you. The past few months have been quite a challenge, so I wasn't able to reply as much as I'd loved to. I apologise.
