My Motto

Be compassionate to the needy, Neither squander wealth nor hoard it. Never lose your sense of shame, if questions are asked of you, answer them frankly but do not ask too many yourself. Be manly and of good cheer. Never kill a foe who is begging for mercy and be ever loyal in love

Own your own way

Do Not Go Where The Path May Lead, Go Instead Where There Is No Path And LEAVE a TRAIL ....

A Lovely day was Gone

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A LITTLE LONG SINCE I WROTE HERE AFTER I CAME BACK FROM MILITARY. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STUDY FOR KPSS( AN EXAM FOR BEING APPOINTED AS A PERMANENT TEACHER AT GOVERMENT SCHOOLS)FOR 1 MONTH AND I HAVE 1 MORE. THESE DAYS YASEMIN IS UNWELL SHE IS INDEED UNDER STRESS BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING AROUND US FOR EXAMPLE MARRIAGE PREP. HOME BRIDE DRESS FURNITURE JOB LOCATION AND HER FLATMATE SO WE DECIDED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES IN OUR LIFE AND CALLED NIHAN WHO IS MY DEAR'S OLD FLATMATE AT COLLEGE WHETHER SHE IS SUITABLE AND COME OUT WITH US THEN SHE SAID YES SO WE WENT OUT. WE GOT BEYOGLU AT ABOUT 10 PM AND STARTED TO WANDER AROUND ISTIKLAL STREET WHICH I THINK THE MOST FAMOUS ONE IN TURKEY AND ISTANBUL. WE ATE MARAŞ ICE CREAM THAT DOESNT MELT SO EASILY THEN WE WENT TO A MALL WHOSE NAME IS UNCLEAR TO MY MIND NOW. IT IS BRILLIANT PLACE AS ITS ARCHITECTURE IS VERY NICE. FROM OUT IT IS A 18TH CENTURY FROM INSIDE IT IS TOTALY 21TH CENTURY. I WANTED TO BUY HIGH HEEL SCHOOLS FOR MY FUTURE WIFE YASEMIN AND ALTHOUGH WE CHOOSED ONE WE COULDNT FIND THE TRUE SIZE UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS LIKE THAT BUT NOT EXACTLY LIKE THIS THE COLOR WAS DIFFERENT



ANYWAY WE WENT ON OUR NIGHT OUTSIDE AFTER UNSUCCESSFUL SHOPPING. WHILE WE WERE WALKING ON THE STREET I SAW THE MEMORY MACHINE AND TOOK A PHOTO OF US, IT WAS VERY NICE. I KNITTED MY EYEBROW, YASEMIN WAS TALKING ON THE PHONE AND EATING ICE CREAM AND NIHAN WAS LIKE SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF NOTHING THERE. :))) BY THE WAY YASEMIN WAS TALKING HER MASTER TEACHER AND SHE LIED NOT TO GO TO WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY.I MUST KEEP THIS SECRET.WHATEVER
HERE IS THE PICTURE



THEN WE WENT TO A CAFE/PUB THERE WAS LIVE MUSIC AND THE BAND INDEED PERFECT ESPECIALLY THE GUITAR MAN. WE HANGN THERE TILL 2 AM AND GO OUT STARTED WALKING ALONG ISTIKLAL STREET THEN HALASKARGAZI ŞİŞLİ MİLİTARY MUSEUM NİŞANTAŞI AT THE END WE GOT ON A TAXI BUT TO OUR CHANCE THE DRIVER LOST HIS WAY ON THE WAY OF HOME. WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME I AND ESPECIALLY YASEMIN WERE VERY HAPPY. I KISSED HER AND FELL ASLEEP.

...
Üzülme, dert etme can.
Görebiliyorsan, dokunabiliyorsan, nefes alabiliyorsan,
yürüyebiliyorsan ne mutlu sana.
Elinde olmayanları söyleme bana.
Elinde olanlardan bahset can.
Üzülme.
Geceler hep kimsesiz mi geçecek?
Gidenler dönmeyecek mi?
Yitirdiğin her ne ise; bir bakarsın yağmurlu bir gecede veya bir bahar sabahında karşına çıkmış.
Bil ki, güzellikler de var bu hayatta.
Gel Git’lerin olmadığı bir hayat düşünebilir misin?
Hüzün olgunlaştırır,
Kaybetmek sabrı öğretir.
