I cut off Everything

I am aware it has been so long since ı wrote last that ı do not even know when the last writing was. Anyway, ı have tons of things to tell to you my dear blog. Let's begin. Firstly, the reason why ı stopped writing is the aim of being appointed as a permanent teacher at a goverment school but ı did not study fo the exam so the result is failure. the days past like that then ı went to Trabzon with my wife and ı stayed there 3 weeks then ı went to my village despite my wife's all rejects. when ı arrived the village there was a funeral of Usta family. At the night of that day my uncle and our neighbours son died. They were buried two days later because we waited for their relativies from İstanbul, Bursa, Zonguldak and Ankara. ı was lack of internet during those days so ı could not write anything then I went İstanbul at the first day of Ramazan of 2012.Although ı had my cmputer and internet ı did not want to write as ı was alone and this was fucking boring, I even got tıred of doing nothing. The following days ı started to play with Nurettin who is Yıldıray's brother in law. I spent Ramazan like that of course ı went to work but there is no need to write about it. Before Ramazan festival Yasemin ( my wife) called me and told that she was not able to come because of some illness. ohh my GOD, this was a terrible news as ı had almost finished all preparations for her arrival. ı even cleaned all the house and fix all broken things, ı planned a perfect bayram festival together. there was nothing to do except going to Trabzon and now ı am here in Trabzon but now we cannot go back because Yasemin cannot travel by bus and the plane tickets are fucking expensive. I hope we can go as soon as possible as the more we wait the dangerous the travel for her.
By the way ı had not shaved for 3 months and this morning ı did

Here are some pictures of my summer

Hani insan birşeyleri yıllardır yapmadığını hissederya işte bana olan da tam olarak buydu, Kar'ın tadını çıkarmak.


Yıllardır özellikle üniversiteyi kazandıktan sonra bi de Erzurum'u kazandıktan sonra ilk yıl Enes ile yaptığım deliliği saymazsak kar memleketinde kar'a nerdeyse dokunmamıştım bile. Sonra mezun oldum birilerinin gözünde büyümüştüm artık daha ağır başlı olmalıymışım ekmeğimi kazanmalıymışım neyse bu saçmalıkların çoğu yüzünden büyümek zorunda kaldım ve bunu kendimi harap ederek yaptım maalesef kendime verdiğim zarardan zerre kadar bile haberdar olmadan. Bunu tam anlamıştım ki birde baktım "Mehmetcik" olmuşum asker arkadaşlarımın deyimiyle "*Poşet ya da Mehmet" -cik- siz.


2009 yılında üniveristeyi bitirip İstanbula geri göndüm ve öyle ahım şahım bir kış geçirmedim, kar bile yağmadı denilebilir. 2010 yılında tam 2 hafta süren bir kar yağışı tecrübe ettim fakat o zamanda çalışmaktan dışarı çıkamamıştım, çıktığımda ise tamamen tükenmiştim :) ve tabiki de o sene de kar'ın tadnı çıkarma keyfini kaçırdım. 2011 yılı kışında askerdim, vatanı kurtarmaktan karla oynamayı vakti geçin kara dokunacak saniye bile bulamadım ama bu sene 2012 kışı izinde olmam hasebiyle de olsa gerek olaganüstü geçiyor keyfimce dışarı kaçıyorum, çocukları benimle birlikte dışarı çıkmaları için delirtiyorum, anneleri benden nefret ediyor -harika bir duygu-, annem babamla dilediğim kafar resim çekiliyorum ve artık eşim de benimle kar oynayacak cesareti gösterebiliyor her ne kadar onu karlara yatırıp yuvarlanmayı ne kadar sevdiğimi bilsede sanki biraz gerçek ben oluyorum. 


Ne kadar da güzel, kendini tanımak ve kendin olmak.


Bu arada Poşet tabiri askerde uzun dönem askerler tarafından kısa dönemlerle dalga geçmek için kullanılan bir tabirdir.

Let's Take a Close Look What Happens Around Us

                                       FABULOUS QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“THE ONLY PLACE WHERE YOUR DREAM BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE IS IN YOUR OWN THINKING.”

Topkapı Palace Opens to Visitors After Brutal Attack

Topkapı Palace in Sultanahmet, the historic heart of İstanbul, is open to visitors once again after an assailant opened fire in the palace's complex, wounding two people before eventually being killed by police. The Libyan attacker carrying a pump-action rifle on Wednesday entered the Topkapı Palace complex and opened fire, wounding a soldier and a security guard.

An eyewitness said the assailant walked into the grounds of Topkapı Palace and closed the doors at the entrance to the palace complex after shooting the soldier in the leg and the guard in the abdomen. The attacker exchanged fire with police for more than an hour before being killed.

The palace complex, one of the city's top tourist attractions, was reopened to visitors on Thursday morning. Visitors that entered the palace in the morning were able to see the bullet holes in the walls and other spots of interest in the complex.

Although the assailant's motive is unknown, witnesses said he shouted God is Great and said in Arabic that he was from Syria, raising suspicions that the incident was linked to the political tension between Turkey and Syria over President Bashar al-Assad's crackdown on anti-regime protests.Fearing future attacks, the number of security guards at the palace has been increased.

There are policemen and armed soldiers at the entrance of the palace watching the area. Topkapı Palace, which was constructed between 1460 and 1478 by Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople which is currently called Istanbul, served as the primary residence of the Ottoman sultans for approximately 400 years (1465-1856).

It is now a major tourist attraction containing important holy relics of the Muslim world, including the Prophet Muhammad's cloak and sword. The Topkapı Palace became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.

Coefficients in Turkish University Exam Lifted

Turkey’s Higher Education Board (YÖK) has ended the controversial application of different coefficients for students at university entrance exams in a move that puts graduates of vocational high schools on equalpar with others.

The YÖK has fixed an equal coefficient of 0.12 for the grade point average of all students, regardless of what faculty they apply for, effectively neutralizing its impact.

The coefficient rule, designed to confine graduates of vocational schools to divinity faculties and junior technical college, was introduced in the late 1990s after an army-led campaign forced Turkey’s Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan to resign.

Under the former practice, YÖK awarded vocational schools graduates lesser coefficients for their scores when they chose to apply to departments other than divinity and junior technical college, practically blocking their way to faculties that could propel them to prominent public posts.

The practice was valid for graduates of all vocational schools who sought to enter universities outside their field. Before yesterday’s decision, YÖK had already minimized the impact of the coefficients, keeping the punitive one at 0.12, only slightly lower than the normal coefficient of 0.15. YÖK officials reportedly rushed the decision in order to have it included in the 2012 handbook for next year’s university exam, which has to be finalized by Dec. 15.

At the same meeting, the board approved the Rize University’s decision to change its name to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University in honor of Turkey’s prime minister, who hails from the region.

EU Foreign Ministers Say Turkey's EU Accession Process Important

Eleven foreign ministers have said Turkey's European Union accession process is of vital strategic and economic importance for both the bloc and Turkey, welcoming Turkey's rise in global politics and economy. The foreign ministers said Turkey's accession process is of vital strategic and economic importance for both the EU and Turkey and that the 27-member bloc welcomes Turkey's commitment to continuing reforms to meet its European goal and offer it the EU's full support. “Together, the EU and Turkey can steer a safer path through the current global economic and political storms,” they said.

The foreign ministers said the EU is currently focused on the turmoil in the eurozone and that poses severe risks to economic growth in EU member states, noting that these tumultuous economic and political times should not lead to the EU turning its back on its neighborhood.

The foreign ministers stressed that Turkey is an important partner as a new economic powerhouse for the Single Market and a growing regional power that could contribute to EU's shared foreign policy effort.

“We believe strongly in the benefits the Turkish accession process has brought both to the EU and Turkey and in its continued importance for driving progress towards shared goals such as economic competitiveness, energy security and regional stability,” they wrote.

Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk in 60 Languages

Turkish Nobel literature laureate Orhan Pamuk’s 1990 novel “Kara Kitap” (The Black Book) is being translated into Mongolian, the author’s Turkish publisher, İletişim Publications, announced this week.

The translation of “The Black Book” into Mongolian marks the 60th language in which Pamuk’s works are available, including such major languages as English, Spanish, French and German, İletişim said in a written statement on Friday.

The first-ever translation into a foreign language of a work by Pamuk was in 1991, when his novel “Sessiz Ev” (The House of Silence) was published in France to great acclaim, winning the country’s Prix de la découverte Européene (European discovery prize) the same year.The Mongolian translation of “The Black Book” will be published by the Nepko Publishing House, İletişim said. “The Black Book” follows the story of Galip, an İstanbul-based lawyer who goes searching for his vanished wife like a private investigator. The 59-year-old Pamuk has published eight novels throughout his 30-year career as a writer. His works have collectively sold around 11 million copies around the world, İletişim said.

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

By R. Waldo Emerson

Living but cannot loving in Istanbul

Here is my quote;

 Always try to be friend with whom that tries to be friend but never insist on keeping on it.

I sometimes wonder who I am or what I should do.

I have now understood the meaning of the "blue".

If I am blue so I can be ice, too. Right ?

I am an alone community who fight against my own cruelity to save the life in me ever since I have lost my beliefs and self-confidence. I was wrong on so many things. Everything was seen me as Istanbul that hundreds or even millions of kings and soldiers died or were killed for the sake of conquering this superb city, I should be like Istanbul to be conguered for the sake of me. I try to renew myself and there will not be any places for females.

I go to work by bus and it takes maximum 15 minutes but three days ago i decided to walk home and then I did it. I was so stupid that i could not noticed this beauty before, there is a perfect view and although I have passed over it for at least 20 years i couldnt understand how beautiful it is. And these days if it is not so cold, I walk home it takes 50 minutes but it can make me so happy. Hearing the voices of the nature again gives me pleasure, and i will never try to forget my past as whaever it is it is mine, I will try to live with it.

I DO NOT WANNA LIVE IN A HOUSE WHICH HAS GOT A ROOF ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT OWN WALLS, PLS.

Yasemin Was Here

Hide and Seek in 9/11/2009 It was wonderful

We had so many problems but now there is nothing that i have to worry about, this is a great feelling or falling related to my beloved.  My brother got engaged three days ago and i was planning to go there, actually i was going to witness my brother`s one of the most important days. But somebody phoned me that day, it was Yasemin and she said that she had came to Istanbul. She was about to get on the plane and I was going to another city at this time. So i had to changed my route to the SAW Sabiha Gokcen International Airport, and also i had to find a reasonable excuse for not going with my family. I had to lie my family and i said them i was called from work and if i hadnt go i would be fired. Even though they didnt seem to believe, they would know how much i give importance to my family so they pretended to believe. Anyway, i had been waiting for an hour when Yasemin arrived. We went to Camlicafor having breakfast, here are some pics of it   

I adore this view and it is my habit to have breakfast here at the weekend ( by the way i havent upload our pics on my computer yet, when i do it i let you see them.

We had a great breakfast there and then we wander around Camlica for a while, we have came to believe that we cannot exist without each other. I and of course Yasemin were very happy. I decided to take small ISTANBUL tour with Yasemin. my instant plan was that

1. 
   
   to go somewhere in which  we cannot be disturbed by anybody
   
   
   
2. 
   
   to have a moment by the bosphorus with silence and seagulls
   
   
   
3. 
   
   to show Yasemin one of my favourite places in Istanbul; Tema, here is its pic  
   
   
   
4. 
   
   to eat something at Tema then go to Kadikoy (  the place in which i have spent my life and sorrow)
   
   
   

we followed this plan one by one, it was really great. there Yasemin was and i havent noticed how much i miss her till i see her again after months, this was our problem. As soon as we come together, we forget everything. But the time passed so quickly and i had to sent her back to Trabzon ( the city i hate most) Goodbye Yasemin = i am going to miss you.

Knowledge is power

THIS IS RUSSIAN COUNRTY MAP

Do you know Where the first EZAN is announced in the morning on earth ? Here is the answer; Kamcatka,Russia. The sun comes out from here every morning for millions of years, north of the Japan and the far east part of Russia which keeps itself like a hook there. The People who are from Kamcatka are the men who see the sun first everymorning in the world. They are firstly  invited to the salvation in this circulation of world. What a holy invitation! The morning EZAN which begins in Kamcatka drop by the all countries in an order, it lodges between the meridians and it searches for minarets for holy words; ALLAHU EKBER ( GOD  is almighty). Buhara, İsfahan, Damascus, Mecca, Medina, Urfa, İstanbul, Berlin, Barcelona, London, New York, LA bring together their talented muezzins with HOLY words ; EZAN, in the minarets. The whole world hears the EZAN in each second. Mankind is always invited to the salvation. Turkish, Arabian, Acem muezzins repeat the same words; ALLAHU EKBER- means GOD is almighty.

The Family Gathering by Chance

I woke up at 11 a.m. Today, as I was off because of Turkey's National Salvation Festival, I preferred to stay in bed until 1:30 p.m. I was watching something on TV, listening to the radio, and making calls to my friends. In brief, I was wasting time in bed. And then came the eagerly awaited meeting!!!!!!!!! Yasemin came online on MSN, and we chatted for a while. It was not boring, but we had a quarrel because of an irrelevant girl who is a teacher at my school. Anyway, then I heard some sounds coming from outside. It was Batuhan, my nephew. He was shouting, "EMME AMMCCA! EMME AMMCCA!" "Open the door! We came!" The way I was walking was not dark, but I saw it as dark because I wanted to see it as dark. Then I invited them in. Batuhan was struggling with me to go to the market and buy "GUTU ŞAKIŞ," a box of gum, but I took him to the park to play. Then I saw them off to their houses. After they had left, I cleaned the house and washed the dishes. But I realized that I was fed up with cooking, so I decided to go to my cousin's house for iftar. Then I took a very long shower. I think it took two and a half hours. DON'T THINK that I waste too much water. Nooooo, of course noooo. I was relaxing in the bathtub and thinking. It is one of my favourite places for doing this anyway. When the water became colder, I jumped out and dried myself. Then I set off for Kenan's house. When I arrived there, what a surprise! I pushed the button again and again and again, but there was no answer. I tried another relative and then some others, but there was no one. In the meantime, the mosque turned its lights on. This meant that it was iftar time. I was disappointed and was heading back home, but suddenly, a voice—yes, a familiar voice—I heard there: Someone called, "MUAMMER! MUAMMER, COME IN!" OOOOH MY GOD! AM I HEARING SOUNDS FROM HEAVEN? AM I COMING TO YOU? :-))))) It was FUNDA YENGE! Everybody had gathered in one house, so they didn't hear the doorbell. I entered and hurried to eat because I was so thirsty and hungry. I pulled up a chair and started eating. The table was so rich. THANK GOD! I AM VERY GRATEFUL! :-))). Derya Yenge offered us tea while we were talking. My eldest cousin, his wife, their son, and his friend's wife came. Then Yıldıray Abi came. We were eleven people, not including the little children. There were four little kids. We had some conversations about the government's recent policies, democratic rights, and different ethnic groups. We also talked about the latest football matches and the Turkish Army and its power. At the end of the night, everything was over. Everybody went home except me. I left my elder brother's house at about 1:00 a.m. Yıldıray, Kenan, and Mustafa warned me about thieves and sniffers. [Image] Then I was on my way—the way I have been taking since I was twelve—so I was not afraid, but I was alert. I arrived home at 1:39 a.m., and now I am writing these things /???????? Good night, everybody. Good night, my "friends."
