> *It’s easy to think and say “circumstances have been against me” when things don’t work for us. Easy to rationalize our actions and factor all the ifs and if onlys that contributed to our defeat. But, truth is, deep in our hearts we know that all these are nothing but just sugar-coated excuses.*

> *Hello beloved friends wherever you are, have you drank today, of course not, but drink plenty of water because it's good for health, and for relaxing time try to be creative with fresh drinks, delicious and also beneficial for health too, like which I will discuss this time, for example, I will share the procedure for processing drinks which has been busy in the discussion lately, but this is my own version, before starting, prepare the following ingredients.*

>*Even though Christmas is over, I'm taking you back to the festive mood of lights, mulled wine, Christmas trees, and joy.*
>
> *Ljubljana is one of those places that is close enough to be accessible by train or bus without a car, big enough and small enough to have the feel of a capital city in Europe. Naturally, if you reside in Croatia like I do, but even if you are located further away, Ljubljana is still worthwhile seeing. We adore it for its consistently charming city center, as well as the fact that it's perfect for a quick weekend getaway, Saturday lunch, Advent in Ljubljana, or weekend shopping.*

> *Hello to all film lovers and analog photography enthusiasts!!Today I´m glad to share with you these pictures selection from an old refrigerated Ilford delta 100 i received as a gift from a friend.
These are casual portraits from family, neighbors, and havana city snapshots i took with the Rolleiflex sl35 and Zeiss planar 50 1.8 wich makes a very sharp and nice combo.
I was very surprised how good this expired film turned out after been developed with ancient Agfa Rodinal Developer that still works as it were new.*

> *The La Vigie Lookout is a new lookout/ tourist attraction in the northern range of mountains of Trinidad that the government built in order to develop the jewel of a town called Paramin. This town is one of the quaintest and most charming mountain-top villages that one could find in Trinidad that is untouched by rampant industry, urbanization or air pollution. The air is chilly, pure and crisp as opposed to the rest of the country that is hot and humid and is an absolute pleasure for us Trinidadians to visit.*
