A short summary

I am now very close to take the first steps for my future, have been struggling to take difficult desitions and partying at the same time to relax.

Recommended book of the month for the ones who are looking for the real meaning of freedom: The School of Gods by Stefano Elia D'Anna. Turkcesi: Tanrilar Okulu, yazar: Stefano Elio D'Anna. Tesekkurler Sercu...
''The ones who tell you that the world shown and told to you is as it is told, are actually narrators. Everything you are told you should fear, hesitate, worry are ideas of people who are in clutch of this representation. These are however negative emotions and none of it is a sentiment which existed in ferment of a human being as it came to life. A human being born fearless. Fear is initiated by force.''

Music is life and more with Lhasa

I know it sounds crazy but if I was a man, that's the women I'd fall in love with...Her name is Lhasa de Sela and she has a unique style and voice and incredibly touching lyrics. I met her music in Summer'98 when working at Club Med in Bodrum, when we used to exchange music with GOs and customers from all around the world. It was a mixed old type copy recording and musician names weren't written, I didn't know anything about her untill yesterday when I heard her singing on the radio. Very touching music which I can't categorize with profound and significant lyrics; the most sexy, sophisticated and mystic voice I ever heard... She was in Istanbul Jazz festival in July 2005, I'm sure our roads will cross somewhere, sometime and I'll be able to see her performing live.
Get ''La llorona'' if you can(her album released in 1997).
Anis, she lives in Canada so try your best to see her performance before you leave my friend, I'm sure you know about her or you'll like her music if you don't, go to see her, take pictures and tell houta all about it.

...Istanbul Istanbul...


I have finally arrived in Istanbul, eat all the food I can (even my dad started calling me an elephant!), meet friends, family members, finally back to Capoeira trainings eventhough just for a couple of weeks. It's true what they say: Her horoz kendi coplugunde oter:-) Don't know how to translate that, sorry ooo. Living abroad makes one to enjoy many more than before as I now enjoy hatasiz kul olmaz from Orhan Gencebay:-)))
I'll soon be heading to Australia and I'd like to thank to Orkun for walking with me, Ersin for all the upcoming housing and guidance facilities in Sydney and my dear friend Mr.Jamali for encouraging me and making it easier for me.
