collections, cartoons, cartoon characters, postcards

check out this cool astro boy postcard we got last year. it came from malaysia + mum got it from one of her direct swaps. she loves swapping for postcards with cartoon characters, especially those that she’s sure i will love. we have just watched the astro boy movie so i was introduced to this character. mum said astro boy was already in existence when she was a young boy + there used to be an animated series of him shown on the telly weekly.

i enjoyed watching the astro boy film so i really loved it when we got this postcard. i am sure i will enjoy the cartoon series just as much, hopefully they will come up with a new one or that they would re-release the old series.

do you also love collecting postcards? let me know which interesting cards you received in your mailbox recently + if you’d like to swap with me, right?

09.10.2013 No Comments

today we celebrate world post day. since we are cooped up at home, with no classes + mum having to tackle home chores, i just decided to share something related to the celebration of the day. i received this postcard through postcrossing.com in august. don’t you think this card is cute? i particularly like the fun illustration + the catchy colors. 🙂

this postcard was sent by someone from rotterdam + even put this cool 3d mickey mouse sticker + interesting stamp at the back of the card.

i will share with you the other interesting stuff i got from the mail next time around, in the meantime, i will be delighted if you let me know all about how you celebrated world post day in a comment below! see you! 🙂

Kids in Doodles, toddler, collections, my favorite things, magazines + publications, Disney Planes , weekend

time again for another round of kids in doodles + for this week i am here to share with you my new disney planes magazine. mum bought this as pasalubong one time she had to go somewhere + left me at home with my tita jinky.

the magazine is chockfull of games, activities + coloring pages that any little ones like me will definitely enjoy. it even comes with a couple of cool posters of the characters from the movie, just like this one above, which features dusty crophopper, el chupacabra + ripslinger.

one weekend, while we are stuck at home because of the rain, i decided to tackle the coloring pages of my new collectible magazine. i colored dottie + chug, dusty’s best buddies, as well as a host of other characters from the movie. it was definitely a fun + enjoyable way to spend an afternoon away. + mum got busy taking snaps of me while i work. 🙂

apart from coloring, i also kept myself occupied looking at the pictures + “reading” my magazine, when i am bigger + knows how to properly read i will make sure to give this magazine another go. in the meantime, mum was so patient to read the rest of the magazine for me! 🙂

your turn to share your fun stories of the week + let us know what you were up to. link-up + include one of our badges here + do not forget to visit all our other playmates, right? have one terrific thrusday + i will wait for your doodles! 😀

cars 2 doubledecker bus, an early birthday present!

mum knows how much i love lightning mcqueen + his gang. we are actually collecting these guys + so far i’ve got about 9 of them. i am very happy to have a brand new addition to my collection + this time mum got me this big cars 2 double decker bus. it doubles as a transporter for the little diecast + a home for them, too, when i am not playing with them. it can accommodate 7 cars, but it was a good thing guido is so tiny he can easily share a spot with his good pal, luigi! 😀 the bigger diecast red also won’t fit, so i just let him sit on the open air top whenever we are playing.

this toy is not much like the other cars in my collection since it is made of plastic. mum always reminds me to be careful with it + refrain from dropping it as it might get broken easily, but so far, after a couple of bumps + falls, it is still in one piece, so i have to say it is made of good quality plastic! i will just be mindful not to drop it too often, though! 🙂

if you are a fan of the movie, you will see the doubledecker bus in action when the world grand prix had its final leg in london, they tower over other cars in the streets of this lovely city. i actually dream of riding a real doubledecker bus one day! 🙂

mum said this is a very advanced birthday gift! mum really knows what i like, i simply love it. can you tell from the photo? 😉
