Day 24: Your Personal Collection

Now this is gonna be a hard post. I have so many collections, that it would be hard to pick just one. Can I just call it my collection of collections? I guess I'll just describe them all, just to be sure. :D

Keychains
I love to collect keychains, especially those that came from somewhere far away. I love getting keychains that have the names of the places on them, especially those cute little shells with fine handwriting on it. Whenever I go somewhere knew, I try my best to get a hold of a new keychain to add to my collection. Keychains aren't just objects to me. They are reminders of the things that I have done, the places that I have visited, and the memories that I made there.

Coins/Money
Now this is one of the more serious collections I have. I am the third generation in my family to collect coins and monetary units from all over the world. It all started when my grandpa was still alive. He then passed in on to my dad, and now we both are working to add more to this collection. My dad even spent about Php15,000 just on some old coins. But in time, these coins are gonna be worth way more than that.

Shells
This is just one of my minor collections, and it came about from my nature-loving side. I just love to look at the various shapes and sizes of shells, so I even have a guide book about the different types there are. My favorite part of collecting shells is the fact that I can hold them to my ear and 'hear the ocean' in them.

Beanie Babies
From little McDonald's toys to giant bears, I LOVE to collect beanie babies. They come in various styles and sizes, and they each have a name and poem attached to their ear. There are even a few that are limited edition, coming out for a specific occasion. I love stuffed toys, so what better to collect than this?

Pokemon Cards
Now this is a spin-off from my big brother's baseball card collection. Mine is based on the game and anime Pokemon, which I watched back when I was a little kid. Until now, I still play the games using either my DS, Gamecube, or an emulator on my cellphone. I mean, who doesn't like Pokemon? My collection is a mix of both English and Japanese cards, but they are all original. I have completed the entire Kanto region, and a good portion of the Jhoto region, but from Hoenn and onwards, I have but a few cards.
