Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

     
Merry Christmas to you all! I've been listening to Christmas songs all week long- and to be honest they put me in the 'holiday mood' a lot! I just love the Christmas spirit, lights, joy, happiness! I can't believe that 2013 has come to an end! Hope you conclude 2013 with an amazing week while we welcome 2014 with our 'warm hearts'. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

...

They suck the life out of us. 
I don't know who they are. But they do. 
And they do this with such a pleausure. 
Staring at age 4. 
We are introduced to "school."
Without knowing the real purpose of it, we are sent by "grown ups" to places called "schools."
Its no big deal at first. 
Friends, colors, play-times. 
Its fun indeed. 
Then, for some what reason, age 6 is when you start "serious" job. You write, read. Although "they" miss the point that not everyone is ready at the same age. 
We are all different. 
Its nice at first. 
You are excited- growing up must be fun. 
Appears that it isn't that fun. 
Serious people, more than ambitious students, "exams", deadlines... They all hit you hard. 
Well, to be honest here, they didn't hit me that hard. I was prepared. So were my friends. But being prepared was what "they" expected from us. As time passed, It became a routine- all exams, deadlines, serious people....
When the routine is the same every day and even every year, there is a problem. 
Thats not called living. 
Stuck inside many walls for 8 hours. 
I don't HATE school. Its just that I believe there are some misconseptions about "education" I must be educated but I must have time for my 'talents' too. 
I must have time to go to places that I never been before. 
I must wake up with a smile on my face, saying, "today is a great day because...." But when all days are the same, its no fun. 
The fact that "monday" is considered a "terrible" day as the majority is a keen evidence of lifes monotonuos. Mondays must not be the same for everyone- there must be something that'll make you like it. 
we must work. 
We must learn. 
Yes, i understand that. 
But the monotonous must change. 
We must be protagonists of our own stories... 
Thats how we can make a change.

Duygu yuklu bir haftanin ardindan...

KARDESIM, BIZ INSANIZ

Hayat ne garip sey degil mi?
Nedir, ne degildir
Yaziyoruz, ciziyoruz
Guluyoruz, agliyoruz,
Ama bilmiyoruz. 
Neden boyle, nasil boyle bilmiyoruz. 

Iki goz,
Bir burun,
Iki kulak. 

Izliyoruz,
Nefes aliyoruz,
Dinliyoruz. 

Sonra onlar oyle dedi,
Bu boyleymis diye 
Onlarin dedigi gibi yapiyoruz. 

Bazen unutuyoruz,
Hem icimizdeki
Hem de karsimizdaki 
Ruhu. 

Biz insaniz. 
Unuturuz. 
Hata yapariz. 
Kusurluyuz. 

Ama cok akilliyiz. 
Bazen cok kurnaziz,
Bazen cok merhametli. 

Bazen nefret eder,
Bazense bayiliriz. 

Kardesim,
Biz insaniz. 

Insan olmak guzel sey tabi,
Ama en buyuk dusmanin
Akrebini kalbine batirinca,
Yelkovaniyla ellerini kollarini baglayinca. 
Iste, o zaman
Sozun bittigi o an.

Gravity

I watched "Gravity" yesterday.
A film by Alfonso Cuarón, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. 
You have to watch it. 
Its breathtaking. 
Feeling like there is no gravity for 1.5 hours. 
Gravity, the force that pulls you to life on earth. 
So you are seperated from the reality for 120 mins.  
Your feet not touching the ground. 
Your body drifting from side to side. 
That's how I felt. 
I've always had interest in space. 
I've always been amazed- for how space is "everything" and "nothing"
Its everything because, its the only explanation for how we have came to be. 
Its nothing because we've not yet discovered any other life than ours. 
The space, the endless space, is the only place that we can escape from the earth. 
To escape from the chaos. To calm down, out of the rush. Just a face, yet looking to trillions of faces. Just one life,  yet looking to trillions of lifes- when you are on space. Thats what it is. You. Its only you. And compared to the universe, you are just a tiny bit. A tiny bit, whos trying to rule its tiny world. Earth, compared to the universe- is nothing yet its everything to us. 
But still- i would like to go to space. Just to relax, and you know- chill out. Just to make sure that life is not an illusion, which i sometimes think it is. 

Ps no "taken by me" picture here. That will be added when I go to space, hopefully. I can't give a precise time for that, but the composition of the picture will be a tiny earth from my camera. Just imagine the picture for the timebeing, until i finally have a chance to upload the real one. Xx

THE TURKISH REPUBLIC...

Today, our country is 90 years old. 
It has been 90 years since Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who is the founder of Turkey, declared that Turkey was a "REPUBLIC." After many battels won, Turkey gained its long-time deserved title. Rest in peace to all souls who have fought in this long battle for freedom, rest in peace Ataturk! Turkey will remain as a republic forever! 
Me in my "republic" t-shirt. 


CUMHURTIYETIMIZ 90 YASINDA!

Bu konularda kalemimi oynatinca pek sonunu getiremem. Yazacak cok sey var cunku. Bitmiyor. Yazdikca artiyor kinamalar... Bu sefer kisa tutmaya calisacagim. Malum, bilen biliyor. Daha dogrusu bilmek isteyen biliyor, anlamak isteyen anliyor gercekleri...
Cumhuriyet bayramimiz kutlu olsun! Turkiyemiz bugun 90 yasinda. Cok daha guzel gunler gormeyi hakediyorsun Turkiyem, ve goreceksin de. Biz, Ataturk'un cocuklari, yasadigimiz surece Turkiye CUMHURIYETI de yasayacaktir. Rahat uyuyun Atam ve Turkiye'nin melekleri, her sey yoluna girecek. Zamanla, her sey cok daha iyi olacak. Siz nice savaslarda nice kanlar doktunuz, yuzunuzu kara cikartmayacagiz! 

Demokrasi duvarim. Eklemek isteyeni beklerim. Burda sansur yok, korkmayin...

Madrid,Toledo,Barcelona

Kurban Bayramini Madrid, Toledo ve Barcelona'da gecirdim. Madrid guzel, tipik bir Avrupa sehri. Baskent oldugu icin ciddi ve resmi. Deniz yok ama Madrid'de. Ben bir Ege kiziyim, denizi cok severim. Madrid'e ayirdigimiz uc gunden birini yarim saatlik mesafede olan Toledo'da gecirdik. Toledo, Don Kisot ve kiliclariyla meshur. Sokaklari tarihle dolu, daracik sokaklarin en kuytu koselerindeki nefes kesen evler, Toledo'nun katedrali, sarayi... Hepsi gorulmeye deger. Toledo'ya gitmek bir nevi zaman tunelinde yolculuk gibi. Ispanya'daki dorduncu gunumuzde Madrid'den trenle Barcelona'ya gectik. Trenden denizi gorunce, icimi bir ferahlik kapladi. Barcelona'ya ayak basinca bambaska bir atmosfere sahip oldugunu anlamamak mumkun degil. Madrid'in buz gibi havasini birakip sicacik gunesiyle icimizi isitan Barcelona cok hos karsiladi bizi. Barcelona'nin en canli caddelerinden biri olan Ramblas Caddesinde bulunan otelimize yerlestikten sonra, bu dillere destan sehri kesfetmeye koyulduk. Nedir bu Barcelona, herkesin agizinda, sarkilarda, filmlerde? Barcelona, sokaklarindan sanat fiskiran guzel sehir. Ramblas'in canliligi, ara sokaklarin sicakligi ve tabii ki denizi. Gunes olmasa bile insanin icini isitacak guzellikte Barcelona. Barcelona'daki ikinci gunumuzde denize sirtimizi vererek yuruduk. Gaudi'nin "Casa Batlló"su, Barcelona'nin buyusunun daha yeni basladiginin habercisiydi. Daha once bir binaya bu kadar sevgi gosterdigimi hatirlamiyorum, ama buna bir "bina" demek dogru mu onu da bilmiyorum. Bir saheser diyebiliriz. Gaudi hayallerinin pesinden giden fantastik bir mimar. Barcelona'nin sokaklarini buyusuyle
donatmis. Kisacasi Gaudi, Barcelona'nin zaten var olan guzelligine daha da guzellik katmis, "saheserleriyle. " Gaudi'nin bitmemis kilisesi "Sagrada Familia"yi gormek icin bir saat kuyrukta bekledik. Ama iyi ki bekledik, yoksa cok sey kaciracaktik. Bitmemis, cunku Gaudi insaat devam ederken, bir tramvayin altinda kalarak vefat etmis. Kilisenin ici diger hic bir kiliseye benzemiyor. Duvarlari karmakarisik motiflerle suslemek yerine, bos birakmis. Camlari renkli yaparak, isik oyunuyla, inanilmaz bir renk ahengi yaratmis, icerisi sanki bir gokkusagi gibi. Insana inanilmaz huzur veriyor. Orada tum gun durabilirim. O gun biraz bogazim agriyordu, kilisenin verdigi huzur rahatsizligimi unutturdu. Gunun geri kalanini kumsalda gecirdik, sahili bisikletle gezdik. Ertesi gun Gaudi'nin "Park Guell"ine ve "Casa Milà"sina gittik. Her zamanki gibi Gaudinin buyusunu hissetmek mukemmeldi. Gaudi'den sonra gunu Barca'nin standinda gecirdik. Barca'yi hep cok sevmisimdir, muzesine gittikten sonra saygim ve sevgim artti. Mottolarinin(Mes Que Un Club) da dile getirdigi gibi, gercekten bir "klupten" fazlalar. Barca bir yasam tarzi. Muzeleri de takim kadar mukemmel. Stadda beni en cok etkileyen sey, minicik bir kilise vardi. "Inanmak", herhangi bir seye inanmak basariya giden yolda cok onemli. Yani Barca,bambaska bir kulup; asaletiyle, durusuyla ve basarilariyla "turunun ilk ornegi." Barcelona'daki son gunumuzde Olimpiyatlar icin yapilmis olan kasabaya gittik, kasabada Ispanya'nin her sehri bir bolumde yansitilmisti. Olimpiyat stadinin gectik ve oraya cok yakin olan Miró'nun muzesine gittik. Daha once Madrid'de gittigimiz muzede Picasso, Miró ve Dalí gibi sanat tarihine damgasini vurmus isimlerle sanata dalis yapmistik ama Miró'ya gitmek icimde bir "yaratma istegi" olusturdu. Miró'nun rengarenk ve surrealist sanatina asik oldum, kendi olusturdugu simgelerle ve sekillerle yarattigi mukemmel kompozisyonlar Miró'yu hayatima bir daha cikmayacak sekilde soktu. Sanirim artik en sevdigim ressam kim sorusuna dusunmeden cevap verebilecegim. En sevdigim mimara da cevabim hazir. En sevdigim sehirler sorusunun cevabina da Barcelona'yi ekleyebilirim. Madrid de cok guzel, Toledo da, ama benim icin Barcelona bir baska!

Numbers are not for humanbeings. 
Numbers are precise, they are perfect. 
No humanbeing is perfect. 
"Feeling" is important for humanbeings. 
You are what you feel. 
Even though numbers are perfect,
No number can express feelings. 
Numbers can't describe humanbeings. 
Even numbers, the perfect numbers can't describe us. 
We are so complex that, even the perfect numbers don't work on us. 
Maybe numbers are not perfect. 
Maybe they just feel like they are perfect.

clouds...

CLOUDS  
Clouds are the lies  
Of human eyes. 

 Sweet little white clouds, don't do this to us. 
Don't look like you are the most magnificent thing, 
because in reality, you are bunch of nonsense. 

You exist and you don't exist, 
but you sure do crush the naive dreams of a little child.

Football is life.

Basically my title sums up my main idea about football. 
Life is like the total of a series of football matches. 
You win, you loose or its a situation where there is a draw~ you are neither happy nor sad.
You got to work to get it. 
You need to want to get it. 
Sometimes the desicion of a referee might affect the whole match, just like luck. 
The referee might affect the match but all in all, it wouldn't mean the team whom he had a positive effect on is the best. 
Luck, doesn't give the real consequences. 
Although if you work and want, a little luck won't hurt. It would be amazing!

You live as an individual but you can't move individually because you live in a society. 
Just like football is; you need to pass on the ball, you need to work in harmony. 
In life too, you need to work in consistency. 
But if you work enough, you will be known as an individual. 
The whole world will know you. 
One might say, talent is the most important element in a football career, although I would agree that talent is really important; you can't go anywhere without working. To be successfull in life, you need to work and you need to want it. 

Consequently, I believe life is just like the composition of football games. And footbal could be easily associated with life.

Welcome autumn🍂🍃🍁

As I slowly walk on my way to school, the wind is singing "hello autumn". 
Hello October. 
Welcome. 
Please be good to us, we'll be good to you. 
We'll never break your heart. 
I love autumn. 
I love every season.
Every season is magical, they all make an artist work.  
The leaves of autumn,
The soft snow of winter,
The happiness of spring,
The sun of summer. 
They all evoke an artist, with their delicate touch on humanlife.

Ben yagmursam,
Sen benim bulutum olur musun?
Denizsem, 
Yelkenim olur musun?
Peki ya yalnizsam,
Yalnizlik olur musun?
-E. 
Translation:
If I am the rain,
Will you be my cloud?
If I am the sea,
Will you be my boat?
What If I am lonely,
Will you be my loneliness? 



Hello, nice to meet you!

This is it!
I'm writing my very first post on my very first blog. I'm not going to say much about my self. I'm letting you have a chance to discover me, by reading my writings, poems. Although I would like to declare one thing before posting regularly on my blog; I can't decide easily; even with this basic introduction post, I had a hard time deciding wheatear to write in English or in Turkish. I will try to balance it. 
I'm sure we'll have a fun time together, dear readers. 
I love you,
E.

Hayat Böyle Olsa...

Keşke insanlar söylenmek yerine önce denese. Hayat daha anlamlı olur o zaman, belki de keşfedilmemiş yetenekler keşfedilir. Keşke insanlar arasında ayrımcılık olmasa, o siyahmış ben beyazmışım gibi... Kendilerini ne zannediyor ki bunu diyenler? Başka bir yaratık olarak görüyorsa kendini, o zaman tamam, çünkü biz insanlar eşitiz. Keşke aç insanlar doysa, fakirlere paraları yok diye kötü davranılmasa. Keşke insanlar sahip oldukları değerleri anlasalar. Sonra ellerinden kaçıp gidince anlamak bir işe yaramıyor. Keşke ülkeler arası faklılık olmasa, herkes kendi ülkesinde olmaktan gurur duysa. Keşke kansere çözüm bulunsa. Son olarak da keşke insanlar ne olduklarını, ne için dünyada olduklarını bilseler; çünkü son pişmanlık fayda etmez.
