The Other Side of Me | Stamp Collector

Another collection that I keep is my stamp collection. I only got few stamps since I don't invest much on this collection and I don't think this collection will bloom so much because we now have electronic mailing systems. Perhaps if I buy stamps in the post office, this collection will grow. 

I learned from my mom how to cleanly rip a stamp from an envelope or a greeting card:
  1. Cut the part of the envelope/card where the stamp is attached
  2. Place it in water for about 3 minutes (the stamp will detach itself from the paper)
  3. Take the stamp out of the water and dry it


So here are some stamps from my collection, most are from letters and greeting cards sent by relatives abroad and some are given by friends:
