Zee is a philatelist.
She has collected stamps from almost all over the globe.
This is truly an amusing fact.
However, as to how she gathered the said collection, I had no idea for no one bothered to ask too.
The secret is just with her.
She is the type of person who doesn't share much about herself.
She usually sits in one corner while her friends are busy giggling with the latest news and sharing almost everything.
One day, we had the privilege of visiting her at her mini collection room in the corner of their home.
All of us were in awe.
All the stamps as what I've heard were authentic and visible before my very eyes.
The crowd was busy pacing through the room and discussing about basically everything they saw.
Zee was also explaining a little and introduced them to the sections which were seemingly arranged by country.
While everyone was busy, I was able to glance at a secluded portion of the room.
It was full of bright colors and they weren't stamps! What could these papers be? I silently sneaked into the corner and there I saw another collection.
These are a collection of wedding stationery.
I couldn't believe Zee is that sociable, I thought then.
She must have been invited in all those occasions to have them for I never heard she was into this kind of hobby too.
Hobbies could be addictive like stamp collecting and so probably must be this wedding stationery collecting activity.
I could still hear the crowd saying praises on the items they saw as well as to Zee then all of a sudden silence was all over.
I never minded it and continued checking on the wedding stationery until I felt a pat on the shoulder.
It was Zee, and I dropped the wedding stationery on the floor! I felt my blood rushing through my head and I felt cold all over.
I was tongue-tied and fell to my knees and apologized.
Zee held my hand and smiled.
It was a sign of relief.
She wasn't mad at me.
Instead, she invited me to her room and offered to tell me the story behind her collections.
She told me that the wedding stationery collection was from her family and other relatives.
Whenever she visits their homes, she would ask for them and later on, knowing that she was addicted to the designs of the wedding stationery they would send her the copies to be added to her collection.
And so with stamps, they were a result of the family's utmost cooperation.
