Hi there! My name is Rona and I am from the tropical island~ The Philippines. ^^

I love SNAILMAILING and POSTCROSSING. I also love MAIL ARTS and other HANDMADE stuff. Penpalling wise, I like to be creative with what I send to my penpals. I have a collection of washi tapes, bookmarks, markers, and all kinds of papers. However, I like to make creative things out of recycled materials so I don't buy stationery often.

Apart from writing, I also love READING. Right now, two of my favorite authors are HARUKI MURAKAMI and JOHN GREEN. I love Young Adult novels. I have a big collection of fiction books and I am not a fan of ebooks that much altough I download some ^^ hihi..

I work as an Editorial Assistant Agent for Barnes and Noble Newstand (off shore). When I'm off work, I love to walk in the park, snap pictures, drink tea and write letters.

I love the rain and the nostalgic feeling it gives me! :)

I like old songs :) But I also listen to:

• Imagine Dragons • John Legend • 2NE1 • Mackelmore • Utada Hikaru • She and Him • Chvrches • Taylor Swift • Kanye West • Beyonce • Santigold • Hale • Khalil Fong...

...and other singers/bands.. I just can't think of their names right now ^^

I also love Movie OSTs.

I will list authors instead:

• John Green • Haruki Murakami • Stephen King • Neil Gaiman • Sidney Sheldon • AVI • Judy Blume • Alice Hoffman • Beverly Cleary • Banana Yoshimoto • Melissa Banks

—Filipino Writers I love—

• Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo • Tara FT Sering • Bob Ong • F. Sionil • Jessica Hagedorn • Cirilio Bautista

I have PLENTY of other names I need to list and I feel ashamed of myself for forgetting them at this point >.< I have a feeling that this section will get updated frequently ^^

I LOVE young adult novels and children's books!

Instead of movies, I will list my favorite actors/actresses and I guess you'll get a sense of what kind of movies I like (hopefully)..

Sandra Bullock, Dustin Hoffman, Jennifer Aniston, Aamir Khan, Adam Sandler, Liv Tyler, JGL, Claire Danes, Scarlet Johansen, Mila Kunis..... etc...

But to name a few movies, here are some that stand out from my memory:

• The Awakening • The Net • While You Were Sleeping • Serendipity • Amelie • 3 Idiots

• ALL HAYAO MIYAZAKI FILMS

FRIENDS, 2 guys, a girl and a pizza place, Dharma and Greg, NYPD Blue, McGyver, Dawson's Creek, My So-Called Life... yeah I'm a 90's girl ^___^

• books • stamps • postcards (tourist spots, vintage, handmade, anything creative) • washi tapes • papers • bookmarks • positive thoughts ^^
