movie night

I had a pleasant day: I met with one of my best friends on the Asian side, gossiped and had an amazing afternoon with my beloved buddy Lucky. The afternoon was the best part. I made myself a small pizza while listening to Valentino- Diane Birch and sat in front of the TV to watch P.S. I Love You for the first time. The movie was amazing, one of the best romance movies I've ever seen. I've been looking forward to a day like this for a long time, I suggest you have one yourself.

I'm so happy right now I can't stop smiling. Last night I had a surprise birthday party. (my birthday is 9 days away but I don't mind) I learned that my 2 best friends had organized it for me. It was amazing, I had so much fun. My party last year was a disgrace, chaotic. Anyway, last night was unforgettable, I haven't had this much fun for sooo long. So this post is for the ones who were there last night and those who couldn't come. I love you all guys, thanks for the wonderful memory!

self portrait-y

Hey there! Sorry for not writing for the past few days, it has been more than a week actually... Anyway I've been really busy; all those homework, exams, drama etc. I'm SO glad spring is on the way. Spring means love. Not like "love" love but love for everything; cats, dogs, birds, nature, sunshine, cars, laptops, books, bugs, cows, jeans, t-shirts, bras, tables, chairs, carpets, candles, forks, spoons, olives, eggs, meatballs, strawberries, lipsticks, exams, school, friends, family... ANYTHING that you can dream of. I'm feeling optimistic, that's pretty evident isn't it? I just love everything and I love being loved... Blame it on spring. I feel like a bud that is rushing to open up its petals to a whole new world; slowly discovering its surroundings with amazement, the bees, the birds, the frogs, the endless blue sky and most importantly the joyous smiling sun.

I'm feeling self portrait-y tonight. Here are the pics just I took. I was inspired by the Mavi Jeans commercials, hope you like them!

Sorry for not writing anything the past days, I was just not in the mood. Now I'm at dad's, I'll be staying here for the week. By the way, my new addiction: Nouvelle Vague. I knew their song In a Manner of Speaking and today, after I was done with almost all of the homework I got, I decided to check out their other songs. I-LOVED-THEM-ALL! I've been addicted to them ever since I downloaded them, that's like 4-5 hours. I strongly advice you to listen them all. My favorite music groups are Koop and Nouvelle Vague from now on.

hey there! I'm feeling over the moon right now. I don't have a specific reason for it. The past few days were absolutely great! I took some amazing photos (check them out at http://www.flickr.com/photos/burcekabaoglu/ I'm expecting comments!), got out of my gloomy mood, laughed a lot etc. I learned something really important; I learned how to be happy about every single positive thing in my life. Life's short and I can't waste time being blue. I don't have the time to even think about the bad things that happen. I'm young, lively and energetic, why be sad?

The spring is on its way, this makes me happy. Although I'm the ultimate fan of winter I just realized that I missed sunshine. I saw some blossomed trees. I hope the weather doesn't get colder, I wouldn't want those lovely pink flowers to freeze and die.

I've been listening to music constantly; putting on my earphones and dancing around the house all the time. This is actually a nice habit of mine. When I have nothing else to do I do this. It's basically a party for one ;) I don't want to sound crazy; but try it, you'll see what I mean. Don't try hard to dance, just do some random moves, let the moves express yourself. This is the best way to get rid of the extra energy inside you. Since I can't do any sports I dance instead. Try it!

Here are some of my recent favorite songs:

make it mine- jason mraz

cupid- jack johnson

wreckless love- alicia keys

michelle- the beatles

kids- mgmt

electric feel- mgmt

smiley faces- gnarls barkley

confessions of the geography victim

I have a geography quiz tomorrow first thing in the morning. It's going to be nice, beginning the day with the cold face of my beloved geography teacher. She is not a bad person, but I just don't like the was she teaches. She doesn't care if the students learn something or not; she just tells that day's subject and walks right out of class when the bell rings. I've never seen a smile on her face. Anyway, unlike the previous term I decided to study for geography this semester. I know it will help me but it is worse than torture. After 2 hours of studying extra geography this afternoon, I feel like I'm being chased by isotherm maps and the layers of the atmosphere are orbiting my head... I have too sleep or else I'll go delirious.

we are the people

I'm too tired today, as usual, and my knee hurts too bad. I did some different+harder exercises at physical therapy this afternoon. I realized that it is too early for me to even run... I've been doing some back-to-back sessions with myself; listening to my old favorite songs, looking at old pictures, reading my old diaries, looking at yearbooks etc... And I can't keep myself away from listening We Are The People -Empire of the Sun and falling in love with it over and over again. The lyrics, the melody the voices of the singers just take me away. Suddenly I'm in a dried up lake, desperately tyring to find water, dancing under every shadow under the blazing sun and most importantly singing this song out loud. No, not singing, crying out this song to find someone to keep me some company. I'm hoping someone hears my desperate but adventurous voice and we can go wandering in deserts, rain forests and ice lands singing this song all the time... I'm sure this is what I'll dream of tonight when I'm trying to fall asleep. While I'm dreaming Lucky will curl on my pillow and start yawning , as usual ;)
