Buying souvenirs from holiday is a waste

i found a bunch of souvenirs left in my house
those are the souvenirs I bought while travelling to other countries
there's always friends who requested souvenirs (maybe just for fun)
finding souvenirs is wasting of time, brain juices, money and space

basically, I didn't think about souvenirs before my trip
i will only remember them when i pass by any souvenirs store
then only i started to count on number of friends to give too
as always, there will be someone i missed out...

after i got the number i need to think whether do they like this
and i always think that they might like them as i like them too
i have to think for every group of friends as everybody has different taste
obviously that's not how it go 

bought lots of souvenirs back to home country
will bring them out and give them away when we meet
always forget to bring them along and after some time away
the holiday mood wasn't there anymore and they're forgotten

at the end of the souvenirs
they're hiding at the corner in my house 
will only remember them again when housecleaning
whose souvenirs are these again? 

i'm sorry to say that
from now on, i'm not going to buy any souvenirs for friends
i will start to do things a bit traditional now
i'm going after postcard, learnt from friend who travelled to japan together

actually, i don't have the habit on writing postcard 
well, i think it's not bad that i just write something random and send them to you
the place i'm visiting might bring me something that reminds me of you
and reading my handwriting could be memorable too

send me your postal address now (not email address)
you might be the lucky one on my next trip
