POSTCARD LOVE POST: If It's Meant To Be, It's Meant To Be

One day in the meadow where pink fragrant  roses bloom


One day in Paradise

Oh heck! One fine day...

*heehee~ ^_*

Pardon the over-aged drama queen in me if I kind of overreacted when I won a gotochi postcard  from a guessing game hosted by a fellow postcard hobbyist, Clarissa Candido last week. It may sound a bit childish but I really was  over the moon *blush*, I even had this to say (see highlighted in orange)

Who wouldn't be? Gotochi postcards are special and a lot of postcard collectors fancy them ... well, I find everything in and about Japan special, why I've lived there for two years so I'm not just saying that, I can attest to that.  (: 

Anyway, lemme tell you how I won through a series of screen caps. Let us call this moment... 

[MUSIC UP & UNDER]

Serendipity.  *giggles~ ^__^

[MUSIC OUT]

As you can see, I  aimed my shot in the dark  right away, strike while I'm hot WHAAAT?
by the way I am Toni Antonio (Hi, hello, I'm pleased to meet you). I was supposed to be the first one to participate and my guess was Russia, but after 5.44457 nanoseconds (to be exact... Haha. just kidding, of course I know nothing about numbers except when I'm out shopping ) I changed it to Belarus, and with fingers crossed, I typed a heart icon <3 and hit enter. Final answer --- my heart told me so, not that I trust my heart that much, you see it has been broken for seven countless times (7  x  ∞ = you do the Math) but you know... ^__~

kidding aside, lemme continue


Meanwhile, while waiting for Clarissa's hundredth official postcrossing postcard to come her way, I stalked the post for every single comment  to see what the other members' presumptions were

Anxiously waiting for the day Clarissa would register the much-anticipated hundredth postcard,  I posted another comment expressing my apprehension, stating that I'd surely regret it if the 100th card would be from Russia:

Until finally:

and again I say, I can't believe my eyes so I looked for proof everywhere, as in Every freakin' Where. ^_*

Sweet Belarus, it is. And oh, don't forget this icon, it brought luck ---> <3


And then, finally, the victory (the victory, victory??? isn't that so big a word? well, it felt that big though) has sunk right in.

Please scroll back up and take a look at the first photo for the reaction shot. ^__^



YEAH BABY YEAH!!!
