Covers, postcards and letters sent in Montenegro

A little bit of composing ;)

noreply@blogger.com (The_Age_of_Love) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:58:00 +0000

I wasn't alive to put this here and represent you a work of mine.

One night I've bumped on this video on YouTube and I was amazed with emotions

in this song, so I suddenly started to sing along with it.

After singing I decided to tape that one down and show it to the composer of song.

I waited few days before we - become friends, than I sent a inquiry about my work,

and he was eager to listen to it.. as he don't have FB acc. I decided to put it on YouTube channel with my explanation that music is from him and he was amazed with it!

It's dime to show it to you ;)

Entries #92 & 93 - Chain Stamp Exchanges 65a and 65b - reverse chains

noreply@blogger.com (The_Age_of_Love) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:28:00 +0000

These two chains arrived separately from Hai Huang (China) and Sameer Agarwal (India) on 13.10.2010 and 25.11.2010. - starter was Mike Peters from Netherlands. The idea for this chain

came from it's starter in order to see which chain would travel faster than other and to see what is going to be exchanged in them. Of course both chains have been stuck with my address - as Sameer's have been traveling to him and was returned, so I needed to send it to next in chain and for other I've been waiting to get more Montenegrin stamps for exchange.

I loved both of them. One was about 100 commemoratives and other was with 150 definitives involved for exchange.

Hello, how are you doing people?!

Mailboxes full?

Searching for stamps?

Searching for pen pals?

I am searching stamps from Kosovo, Albania, Slovenia, Srpska Republika.. for they are my neighbour countries, and I've seen some Kosovian stamps (huge denominations like 2.00 Euros!).

Yeah Kosovo, like Montenegro, has Euro currency and nobody could explain how come? :)

We have good diplomatic core you could say :)

This special postcard came to me from Josip (Croatia) - excellent view on one of most

popular sightviews of Varazdin ;)

Thank you Josip!

Entry #81 Russia - 13.08.2010.

noreply@blogger.com (The_Age_of_Love) — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 21:39:00 +0000

Hello again from Russia!

This particolar letter (the heviest cover I've got in last year) have come to me

from Tolya Serafinas, wonderful pen pall that I've met on www.interpals.net. It have traveled

from 29.07.2010 - 13.08.2010. to get me, and I've got two clock mini sheets (one separately in special cover and one along with FDC

on same theme with special seal on that un-used cover).

Sometimes it makes me so sad, that my post office doesn't have those kind of 'stamp-packages' as other posts do.. Still I believe they will bring out some class in that field.

And again, happiness isn't happiness if you don't feel a little bit sadness ;)

Thank you very much Tolya!

Entry #79 Georgia - 04.08.2010.

noreply@blogger.com (The_Age_of_Love) — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 07:11:00 +0000

Hello to all again!

I've been very busy this month like every year, most of changes in my life occur on August..
Sometimes, on the end of hot summer I collect my impressions and see
how to live trough winter..
Winter in Montenegro, for coastal cities is a period of stagnation, of hibernation and plannings
how to exploit next summer the best..
As main course of Montenegrin Economy relies mostly on tourism, that is a tough
planning all the way trough.. still building the reputation of good touristic destination ;)

Now my letters, I want to thank to all of you that are sending me postcards and letters,
I hope that you are all fine, that puppies and families are fine and if you
have tough period in time I understand, we have it all.
My letters are in little delays, but I'll never leave any of my correspondence partners
left without answer.. thanks God I've got some job to put me out, so that
I could accomplish what I've planned to do..

Right now I am designing some envelopes, and making gifts for my special friends
all of you that come every day to see 5000th visitor - who would that be? :)

Till than, I give you notice about my special friend Khatuna from Georgia that have
sent to me this beautiful letter with 'almost' a serie of stamps from 1992 ;)

Thank you Khatuna!

Entry #78 Malaysia - 29.07.2010.

noreply@blogger.com (The_Age_of_Love) — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:36:00 +0000

A special thanks to Projek Satu Dunia for UNESCO heritage sites!
Malacca is with me again ;) in new sights , somehow this street is
reminding me of a very nice movie about young girl that is acting in role of lover to an
industrial man in late 20-ties.. the Film's name is L'Amant and it has
most amazing story about survival of an English family,
that have came into East world's state and have lost everything..

Thank you Shurbani it is a real pleasure corresponding with your project :)

Entry #77 Switzerland - 23.07.2010.

noreply@blogger.com (The_Age_of_Love) — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:17:00 +0000

There is a charming man from Shweiz that have spotted me
in Chain Stamp Exchanges.. So here it is a beauty of the cover with
nice glance on Hansjurg's place of living.. Oh what a sight!
Thank you very much - I've prepared a nice cover for you :)
This cover below is my response to Hansjurg :)

Notice:
I still believe that Montenegro's philately
brings more attention in world just because
we are only state that isn't part of European Union,
that has the currency of Euros (from 2003.) ?!

And not being part of EU still means that our Euros don't have
Montenegrin emblems yet. That also means that all EU states must print more
coin money than their state needs so that Montenegrin
could exchange paper money into coin Euros/cents and vice versa ;)
I've seen till now German, France, Italian and.. I believe not other emblem on Euros
that goes around right now.
So that means our stamps are also in Euro currency.. those are stamps of
0.25, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60, 0.90(rare), 1.00(rare) and 1.50 (very rare) stamps.
This year that 1.50 value was added on FIFA 2010. stamp..

New postcards

noreply@blogger.com (The_Age_of_Love) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:25:00 +0000

Yesterday being in post,

I couldn't resist to buy these new postcards..
Usually, there are some postcards of summer with some tricks on them, but I've found
some very nice ones that describe landscapes of ours ;)

So here they are - I hope you'd like to receive them :)
Take your pens and keyboards in hands and write some postcard down or some nice posts
about received letters or some comment!

I wish you nice day and lots of watery-sights ;)

This postcard is just one issue that I've found in post so it is rare to find :)
Probably is most wanted ;)

And just as I've thought that you can't get two different packages from the same man in one day,
I've realized that I was wrong :)

This time it took my breath of non-dreaming that I could get a mint FDC of Malaysian festivals
from 2006. and 3 mint stamps that go with it ;) all along with 3 non used postcards.. well..
I am a little bit ashamed with all of this attention dear friend :)

I hope my response will be at least dignified :)
