surroundings and cheap photography

exploring roundabouts

while the sun sets...

Hey there! I'm still on vacation at Çeşme. I really don't remember the last time I had this much fun. My favorite part of the day is when me and my friends go to the little island 800 meters away from the shore. We swim there together and climb on the island first. Even though climbing on the sharp rocks with bare feet is really hurtful we don't really care. After finding the perfect place to get on the island, we walk all the way around the island and explore our surroundings. Yesterday we found a bat nest between the rocks. Today we found 2 bird nests. After the tour around the island is done, we sit on flat rocks and search for sea urchins. When we find one, we place it in our palms. It's such a funny feeling, the sea urchin tries to stick on our hands and it feels ticklish. We spend at least 4 hours of the day in the sea. It's quite tiring however the unforgettable memories are worth it.

Last night there was a full moon. The view at the beach was breathtaking but I've only got the images of the moon, sorry :(

btw: the image on the top is the island I'm talking about

my biggest fear of all time

Oh boy, the things I did to get this close to this tiny fella... I still can't believe I had the guts.

relaxation

Hey there! I'm having the time of my life right now. I'm at my grandmother's summerhouse at Çeşme. Çeşme is located at the Aegean part of Turkey, it's a heavenly holiday area. I've been here since the 16th of July and I won't be going back to Istanbul until the end of the first week of august.

Anyway life is great over here, it's so simple. The nature is so pure, so untouched. I go swimming first thing in the morning. Even though it's really hot over here, the sea is really cool. I can feel the steam coming over my head when I jump in the water. The day passes quickly, it's the nights that I love.

I've never seen so many stars before. They are like colorful candy particles on a chocolate covered donut. At nights me and my friends go to the beach, watch the stars and the flickering lights of the houses at the other side of the bay. The small talk is really entertaining. I love the way none of us have real worries at all, during summer at least.

Everything is great, except one thing, this place is full of frogs and insects. I wasn't irritated by frogs when I was little. In the previous years when I came to Çeşme, me and my two other friends used to capture frogs, put them in a water bowl, add some grass and pretend we were preparing frog soups. I don't know what made me become so irritated by frogs. I guess now they are getting even with me, taking the revenge of the frogs me and my friends tortured, well, kind of. The thing about insects is that they are everywhere. I see some kind of 6-or-more-legged-beast anywhere I turn. I'm not scared of them but I hate seeing one on my towel when I get back from swimming.

I've been talking too much again haven't I? Well that's all for today. Enjoy the photos I just took. Have a nice holiday y'all!

holiday

some sort of melancholy

wicked game- Chris Isaak

stars in my eyes

i've never felt like 'this' before

this thing, is in my chest
i have no idea what it is
i feel flames
my heart is burning
it's not good but i'm not sure if it's any bad either
i've never been so tense before

i got so much to think about
but this is not a significant concern at all
it might be a puberty crisis
it might be a shock
or maybe i just don't want to believe it happened
i can't seem to understand
the reason why it keeps me away from the real pain
why can i not think of such a loss
and feel this stupid thing

happiness is a warm gun

I had a marvellous weekend. Dad and I went to Ankara for my Dad's cousin's wedding. The wedding was excellent; my whole extended family was there. All of us live in 3 different cities so it's really hard for us to get together. I hadn't seen most of them for months and the whole family getting together made me realize that I missed them a lot. The wedding was fun, all of the family danced all night. We even did the twist dance together. Dad and my aunt got a bit tipsy, it was so entertaining to watch them. The next morning we all had brunch together. I might (and I most probably will) sound cheesy but I absolutely love being a huge family and I will never forget the past weekend...

current theme song: fix you- coldplay

when you try your best but you don't succeed

when you get what you want but not what you need

when you feel so tired bu you can't sleep

stuck in reverse

and the tears come streaming down your face

when you lose something you can't replace

when you love someone but it goes to waste

could it be worse?

School's Out....

Have you ever had one of those days, when nothing seems to go right?

I screwed up. I screwed up big time. Everything is going wrong and I don't have any idea what to do. It's all my mistake though. My biggest mistake: not learning anything from my mistakes. I absolutely hate myself for doing that.
I feel as if I'm in a maze with no way out. What ever I do I hit a dead end, there's no way out. Even though I know how to get out of this maze, I always always always take the wrong turn. Why do I take the wrong turn? Probably because my hearts tells me to. When I take the road my heart tells me to, everything is excellent at the beginning; there are flowers and cute birds along the way. After a while walking that road I hit the dead and and when I start going back I see that the flowers who kept me company are now dead and the birds that guided me are gone. Long gone... The road that gave me joy and made my heart beat rapidly is now making me suffer. Step on poison ivy with each step. The poison ivy grabs me and doesn't let me go. I try so hard to get out of it, it hurts me even more. When I get back to where I started, I overlook what I've done and unfortunately see that there are more cons than pros. I continue to walk but I take the wrong way again.
The things that give me pleasure, devastate me at the end. The things that make me happy in short-term take away all my happiness after they end. Why do I keep doing the same mistake over and over again? Am I so blinded by the pleasure that I don't see how it's going to end? Am I so stupid not to know that all good things come to an end?

we are the people

I finally decided that my all time-favorite song is We Are the People by Empire of the Sun. I just fell in love with the song again. I strongly recommend you to listen the song. It got me singing like: I can't do well when I think you're gonna leave me but I know I try...

Cupid, draw back your bow.
and let your arrow flow.
Straight to my lovers heart for me.
Nobody but me.
Cupid, please hear my cry.
and let your arrow fly.
Straight to my lovers heart, hold me.

I don't want to bother you but I'm in distress.
There's danger of me losing all my happiness.
I love a man who doesn't know i exist.
And this you can fix.

Cupid, draw back your bow.
and let your arrow flow.
Straight to my lovers heart for me.
Nobody but me.
Cupid, please hear my cry.
and let your arrow fly.
Straight to my lovers heart, hold me

Now if your arrow makes his love strong for me.
I swear I'm gonna love him 'til eternity.
I know between the both of us, his heart we can steal.
Cupid help me if you will

So Cupid, draw back your bow.
and let your arrow flow.
Straight to my lovers heart for me.
Nobody but me.
Cupid, please hear my cry.
and let your arrow fly.
Straight to my lovers heart, hold me

yeah, Cupid.
oh, Cupid.
mm mm, Cupid.
