In love with mailing

From Mailing

Did I tell you I joined the LWA? While I am waiting for my membership card and badge and penpal, I discover something awesome. It's call the pen pal project. I left a message and someone reply me and want to be my pen pal! How awesome!

So I wrote Amanda (my pen-pal-to-be) a letter after I've got her address. Can you see the smiley face on the envelope? Yup, that is my first letter to her!

I always like writing letter. I tried to invite friends and write letter to each other. Hong Kong is a very small place and everyone is using the modern tech that always stop us from writing. So, writing to someone far away is a much better idea. I like checking the mailbox and be surprised!

Guess who I am writing this postcard to? Some one far away and I don't even know the one's name. It's a postcard to Tanzania. I found this heart unity project at postcrossing. Spreading love and cheer in just one postcard, what a simple yet amazing idea?

From Mailing

Yup, postcrossing. I sent out six postcard to people I barely know. It's fun and I am waiting for the postcard sent by someone I don't even know. Five to the State and one to Germany. The postcards may look a little bit un-ordinary. I picked them up at G.O.D. A place sell Hong Kong style stuff. I think it's much fun to have something unusual. You are bored by the razzle dazzle cliche picture of Hong Kong, right?

From Mailing

Have you discover something unusual from my mail / postcard / notepad? Beside working with magazine and magazine and magazine, I found something funny to work with! Security Envelope! You know those billing mail always use a security envelope. Those envelopes actually have a pretty pattern! I discover one is using numbers as pattern. So I cut out 12345... from the envelope and made a postcard for the heart unity project kid. Hopefully, they can find the numerals on the postcard. Kids like game, right? :p

No kidding, I really love writing and mailing. If you do too, leave me a msg or email me and we can start penpaling!

Did I tell you I made my own Journal?

From My First Handmade Journal

Am I being too annoying that telling everyone I have just made my Journal ? Did I tell you I made one?



It's never too late to have a 2010 schedule in the beginning of March, right? It's an exciting project. A book I am going to use for a year is totally handmade by me. I didn't even attend any class or pay anyone to teach me to do so. Just key in "how to bind / make a book" in google and many nice people are offering tutorials to teach you how to make your own notebook. Love is all around and angels are everywhere.

I kind of like vintage stuff. So I make the Journal look old too. I use yellow paper for the pages. Black leather with a brown ribbon as a book mark.

I made the rubber stamp specially for the first page. You can see, the frame which inside is written Ms. Five's 2010. Handwritten the day and week which almost drive me crazy and cost me two hours. But I think It's wroth it! Don't you think?

There are two blank pages between months. So that I can put anything I like in between months to cheers me up or reminding me happiness is within me.

I love it! Friends of mine who touch and see the real thing said it is nicely done. Yup, I know they are being too Kind, as always. Ha. Told ya, Love is all around.

不是惡搞，算是創作掛

偶然發現美國Artist Austin Kleon的 Newspaper Blackout，實在好玩，兩個星期前終於買了marker，但遲遲沒有動手在報紙雜誌上删字，創作「新」詩。

這陣子生活都圍住鄧小宇，看鄧小宇小時候演張愛玲編的小兒女國語片，在星巴克看鄧小宇在號外的專欄，晚晚煲錢瑪莉的串咀生活，有時翻看鄧生的羅宋餐的日子。今期的明周（2156期）主題是懷舊，訪問了不少五六七八十後，鄧小宇榜上有名，有一小篇口述關於六十年代的世界，終於有題材讓我玩Blackout。原文當然不載，因為這是我的再「創作」啊！要看去圖書館或買本睇吧。

人生
充滿了耿耿於懷
未完成的遺撼

Seriously, who am I to judge?

Who am I to judge? 廣東話翻譯應該係：「你有咩資格話我？」

即使她身邊同時與三個他拍拖談情發生關係，即使身邊的誰誰誰指責那個他他他做得不對，然後背後三姑六婆再答那個誰跟他就唔岩啦，如我係我就咁咁咁，是的，在背後說是道非的我你他，總站在道德高地以聖人自居，但每當那些「如果」發生在自己身上，卻不知如何應對做錯決定，那些高傲一剎那像空氣消失。

實在心知沒有哪個人是完美，卻無法接受身邊的那個誰的一點點不完美，同時要求別人接受自己的缺點，還將那些缺點縮得很細，以為沒有誰看見。然後，我你他都自以為是聖人，很有資格話人。

每次都忘了自問，其實，我實在無咩資格話人。Seriously, Who are you to judge?
