A long forgotten tradition

Well, at least forgotten in the era of adolescence where I am currently situated in.

Through the eyes of an 8 to 12-year-old Afifa, one of the primary outcomes of Ramadhan I would've looked forward to is the excitement that might've come forth in the ol' mailbox. That is, the hopes of having more "Kad Raya" than last year.

Funny how back then I would measure the number of cards I received as the meter of my popularity. And I'd say I had an adequate number of them through that period of time which pretty much proves how normal I actually was than what I would perceive myself. Makes me feel appreciative for the old friends I used to have and, sadly, now ignored.

So yesterday,  I decided to revive(I've been using this word a lot lately) that tradition and make my own E-cards for all the close friends, and a lil bit of family, I cherish dearly. But Alas! Just by making one E-card took me 30 minutes due to my laptop lacking a proper image editing program. Though on the + side, I got to explore the usage of an online Photo Editor and make some decent effects for that one E-card.

Here's this one card I made for Myzatil using Pixlr

*Sigh* not quite what I want it turn out but hey, it looks instagram-ish. And everyone loooves instagram.
More will come!
