I admire people who collect things. The
obsession and fascination to a certain item and the choice of things to collect
says a lot about a person’s character. Anyway, the reason, I am saying this is
because I recently I felt this urge to collect stamps again. Yes, I actually
have a small stamp collection that I started when I was in high school. I got
interested in it when my eldest sister gave me her stamp collection.
Back when postal mail is still ‘in,’ I
would await letters from my sisters who works abroad because I wanted to take
the stamps. When sending letters through postal mail became too tiresome and
long (because of the advances in technology), I kind of forgot my stamp
collection too. In fact, my small stamp notebook kept in one of our cabinets
hasn’t seen the light of day for years.
Out of the blue, I wanted to start and
take this hobby seriously again but I don’t know where to start. In fact, as of
this writing, I still have to dig that stamp notebook. Also, I think it is so
hard to be a stamp collector today. Finding a person to send mail to is
actually challenging. An officemate even
said that she had never sent a snail mail before.
Well I guess if I really want it, I need
to exert effort so I’ll try to update my stamp collection little by little. For
those like me who are passionate about stamps, I saw this group that can be of
great help:
