If you ask for a present, does the present lose its meaning?
If you could make someone “love” you, is it still love?
The problem with this modern world is that we are losing “magic”, the ability to wonder about things beyond what they appear to be.
Myths, fairy tales, magic, witches, santa claus, astrology … perhaps they are all fake in the scientific sense. But when we stopped believing, we have also lost a depth of culture, something deeper in us that brings us wonders in this life.
“Circumstances don’t make you, they reveal you.”
It is time for us to decide who we are now….

The Evil Eye
Turkish people have an amulet that protects people from evil eyes (ie jealousy of others). This amulet can be found in any tourist spot, almost like an alternative symbol of Turkey.
What I suddenly found interesting was that Turkish people seemed to be one of the rare cultures that takes “jealousy” seriously. And that makes me begin to notice the power of “evil eye” around...

As the turning of another year is approaching, i suppose we should be making new resolutions and enjoying this opportunity to start afresh and new.
But, i don’t feel it this year. Something seems to be pulling me back.. the energy to push me forward just doesn’t seem to be there.
It feels like either a great bottleneck in life or just a weird sense of “peace” before a...
“Getting used to it” seems to be a key in life..
I got used to everyone treating me like a zoo animal here, and maybe i will miss the attention even, hahahaha when i am back in london today i might feel like “why is everyone not staring at me and making conversation with me anymore?” lol, but it really intimidated and tired me out so much in my first few days in...
“You must tell your life story, and what really matters is how you tell it to...”
– Harem suare is filled with quotable quotes.. lol… phei! I strongly recommend you to watch this!
“Water and fire, day and night, light and darkness, youth and old age, they are...”
– Can’t remember the exact line, but this quote comes from a Turkish movie “Harem Suare”, great acting, beautiful, intense…although rather confusing…
From Istanbul, with love
it’s been ups and downs this few days, I can’t tell you exactly how i feel about this city yet..
so far, I have been totally not myself here, hahaaa… breakfast at 3pm? Lunch at 10 pm, and when is dinner i don’t exactly know? lol…Clubbing till 4am? Chatting till 6am? Waking up reluctantly at 12 noon? Kebab every meal? Drinking too much beer?
first time totally...
I don’t enjoy being a “Feeling” person, i really don’t.
I wish I could stop “feeling” sometimes, just so it will not overwhelm and drown me…
Maybe I just hate being so out of control.
Can’t deal with it..

… ahh..
a knot was untied…
loneliness...
“When we are impatient, when we want to give up our loneliness and try to overcome the separation and incompleteness we feel, too soon, we easily relate to our human world with devastating expectations… Thus we keep hoping that one day we will find the man who really understands our experiences, the woman who will bring peace to our restless life, the job where we can fulfill our...
I always loved chocolatey dessert, and probably only chooclatey dessert,
but lemon cheesecake has just changed my world … lol
“你紧张得想哭
多年后想起今天值得不值得”
My hobby is fortune telling. hahaha but i was disturbed yesterday by my life foretold by other “fortune teller”..
The problem with fortune telling, and maybe beyond such, is that we all have a script of what a “happy” life should be in our mind…
“marriage in 20s, good career in 30s, easy money in life, good family, good health…”
Then if we compare...
it hasn’t occurred to me, till now, that everyone is still changing, still “growing up”…
Prayer answered :)
I swear, fire alarm at 330am just feels like one of the worst things in the world, especially when u are already sound asleep.
It’s almost like dropping from heaven to hell, in fear.
ohhhh….
so this is all but a game.
The first and most important step in solving problems is to have the courage to honestly face your problem.
Today must be one of those very rare, really good days :)
very thankful.
Sometimes u just need to reach that point when everything breaks down and breaks apart to realise that u actually have a major problem to solve.
wait.. in peace and joy
Where the HELL am i going to?!
