Last Summer 2012 I started collecting bits like stamps and coins. Before I didn't really care when I saw these things. What inspires me to collect? Simple. I watched TV every 12PM and I saw this Cultural channel named "Tipong Pinoy" they featured an episode about preserving history and culture. They went to the National Museum of the Philippines and featured different antique stuffs. And they uttered that it's not only in the museum where you can keep the history, but you can keep it by yourself by collecting antiques like stamps, old coins, and old banknotes. And I remember my childhood days my Grandma (the mother of my mom) has had these stamp album, an antique one.
The green one was from my grandma.
She used to keep it. As I talked to her about stamps, she can relate easily. Then I ask her for the album if she can give it to me. She gave the album to me as her remembrance. When i opened the album, I can see handfuls of stamps! There I can see my favorite one, the Folk Dance stamps and the Native Instruments.
My grandma said to continue what she started, to collect stamps. My journey of collecting has began. I ask my grandma if she has old envelop with stamps. She gave me bunch of envelopes. She also gave me advises on how to separate stamps from the envelop. That was fascinating enough.
I asked the siblings of my grandma for stamps. They gave me bunch of stamps! i was very happy for that day. I bought myself stamp albums (see the first pic, the red album)And I also bought ans expensive one from a bookstore.
This is the stamp album. It's kinda pricey but it is good for your collection
Now I continue this journey to collect more, but, Stamps really make me hard-to-get sometimes. I tried to ask my classmates if they have, but most of them do not have it anymore for they junk it into the dirt. I hope that someone well give me stamps from the different countries, it would be my pleasure to thank you :). But i didnt loose hope, I tried to collect Banknotes. My mom gave me her collection. She had these when her friends gave her money for souvenir. Well. keep posted guys! there are more articles to follow.
