2014 Blog 344: Christmas Cards

Just finished doing a few christmas cards. I mean.. actual christmas cards. I am back doing it you know.
I have been guilty of having some plenty of years in the past when I stopped writing and sending christmas cards, and abused the use of electronic greetings. But I realized that with electronic greetings, there are many things that are getting missed. I think there is nothing more heartfelt than a load of handwritten small simple notes. So I started doing it again in the past few years. It will be impossible for me to send cards to all my friends, so I try to at least do it to very few closest people in my life. If you are sending some too, try to send them soon. It is best when it is received not past christmas day.

Are you mailing some too?

2014 Blog 022: The Wallet

One of the christmas presents I received was a lady’s wallet which seemed so huge to me. Anyway, I thought I should give it a try. Just because the old one is getting so tight for the abundance of cards that I now have. I have the basics.. the driver’s license, a medical card, a road assistance card, a bank card, and a credit card. Then I have the library card, the Costco card, and all other membership and rewards card. Then! I have gift cards that I got from last christmas! Ugh. I am glad that some rewards are now accessible by phone numbers so I can toss away those out of my wallet. But there is still a lot. Too many. I feel it’s too heavy for me. It’s a weight I don’t want to carry everyday. Before today, I was using a small wallet and have just been bringing the basics for so long. But the problem with that is I have been in situations where I needed the numbers and I just don’t have it. I can’t wait when I can just tap them all from my phone. I feel that having all these cards is just a heavy clutter. For now, I just want to live simple. So maybe, I should just get back to my old small wallet. And just live with what I can put in. It just seems more ideal.

So. Does a small wallet fits you?
