There are people who collected different things. There are toys, stamps, antiques, etc... What really fascinates me is the one I watch years ago, a man was collecting receipt from Mcdonald stores. He usually visits all mcdonald branches here in the Philippines and will reserve the receipts as his collection. He put it in an album. I am really amaze by his collections. Why not share with me collection (can be yours or can be owned by someone you know) whose collection is very unique and fascinating?

Hello, I love collecting receipts and also coasters, from hotels and restaurants. I used to write a short paragraph beside each receipt but have not been able to keep up with that lately hhaha. Once, I found a receipt to a fruit farm and a receipt for a parking lot to a beach. When I read my jottings beside the receipts, I realised I went there during my first few dates when I began dating my husband and it was a few years ago! I showed it to him and it certainly brought back memories...
Do you have a unique hobby of your own?

I have several things I collect, but the one thing that I absolutely cannot give up is my chicken and rooster collection! I have 13 now (I accidentally broke the 14th packing up my old kitchen and I cried!). Many of them are hens on a nest, usually of glass, but I also have roosters and I like how they stand so proudly! I've got a wire one that I bought at Target two years ago--I'm broke and my daughter spotted it--I wanted it so bad that I went without soda for three weeks (and at that time I drank it every day)! I have another outdoor one that I bought at an upscale market that I had gone to to get a specific item--bought it even though I really couldn't afford it. I've had to stay away from yard sales this year because I'm broke and I don't have the room!
Tell us what YOU collect!

That is so vague....maybe a topic like mysteries, true crime, like that? Or like on dogs?

I like to collect a few knick-knacks... I like collecting international coins, local and international stamps, cute empty lighters and pens (from the hotels where I have stayed during my travels). I kept these things in separate empty shoe boxes.

I used to collect love story novels with my favorite writer. It is a very famous novel in our place and the author herself, i presume that she is very famous too. Actually, i used to collect the novels of local and international love story author. The novel of barbara cartland is what i like the most. Her every story is always touching and fascinating and sometimes i just let food wait for me in the table because i have to finish reading the novel first. The other collection that i like is for the kitchen. I don't know why but it is always my habit that when i go to the mall or shop, i always look around for things used in the kitchen especially plates, glasses, and everything. Eventhough , we have enough already but i wanna buy if i like the design and the quality and i just put in cabinet for decoration and not for used actually. But i am also thinking that i can used it sometime when there's we celebrate something.

I used to collect stationaries,stickers, and letters from friends when I was younger.now I collect shoes,perfumes, and lingerie.I watched this Filipina young actress who loves collecting Stitch (from Lilo and Stitch).she dedicated one room for her collection.she has everything - from books to pillows to pens.stitch is not really a popular character and merchandise is not really common,unlike mickey mouse,so she buys all the stitch she could get her hands on.
