30 Jul

What an  extraordinary month July was! There are some incredible changes in our lives and we’re praying for our plans to come true. I still need time to talk about it but life lately has been really nice.

After we had a beautiful vacation in France, we immediately start to plan another one. Because of our factory’s shutdown period, we have to take our annual leaves in august and since this will be our second vacation with a restricted budget, we had to plan a modest one. We are not driving all the way down to Mediterranean, we’re not staying in a dreamy hotel but we’re thankful to have the chance at least  to de-stress.

I’ve made the Ultimate Vacation Playlist Part 3 ( remember part 2 and part 1 last year? ) for our vacation. I’ll share it next week.

In the meantime I had the chance to go to Istanbul and visit my friends. My sister was on vacation and I had to baby-sit her kiddos. ( Yes the hairy fluffy couple ). Mr. T had a training that weekend so he wasn’t able to join me. So I could see my beautiful friend Lili and spent a lovely day together. Also I could have a nice dinner ( and breakfast)  with dearest Pınar.

I love my friends and it upsets me to be distant from time to time…

Because last weekend was a girls’ weekend getaway, we spent this weekend together with my husband. No weddings, no parties. Just us.

Friday night we watched the opening ceremony of London Olympics 2012. It was superb!

Saturday was extremely hot so I stayed at home while Mr. T was dealing with some car related stuff. I had the time to read my mags. They’ve already put me in the mood for holiday. Yay!

And the night was awesome! We went to see the movie  The Dark Knight Rises!

No words. Just A-W-E-S-O-M-E…

Aaaaaaand here’s my sticker!

Sunday was hotter than saturday so went to farmers’ market as soon as we woke up. We spent time at home, watching swimming competitions. It was a biiig regret not to go to the swimming pool though!

We surprisingly talked about our 1st year anniversary.

I’ve been nagging Onur whole week to give me a gift idea. I must admit, when it comes to finding original stuff, he is the only address for all of your needs. Thanks to him, I’ve really good gift choices for our next five year’s special occasions. :)

We don’t want to exaggerate it but want it to be special at the same time as it’s the first one.  I haven’t decided yet and still desperately looking for a meaningful gift.

 After one week of our annivesary I’ll be 30! I also need to plan my dirty thirty birthday party. I’m not sure if I want a crazy crackpot party or a lovely dinner with friends. But it looks like one particularly  drunky night is waiting for us.

My 30 Things before 30 goals are waiting. I crossed 2 of them out. I went to bowling and pimped our fridge. We prefered to stay simple and clean.

But still I’ve alot to do to accomplish my goals. So little time, so much to do, It’s typical me…

I started to count back for the vacation. I hope everyone has/ will have a great vacation this summer and august will be magical.

Love,

F.

We had the chance to see a few movies lately. I was very curious about Tim Burton’s remake The Dark Shadows. I haven’t seen the original movie  yet but Burton edition was really good.

A few weeks ago we also saw the movie Snow White and The Huntsman. To be honest I was expecting a serious disaster. I’ve read The Lady’s review and hope to like the movie like she did and guess what! I did. The makeup, the costumes and the darkness of the movie was sooo good. (except the dream forest “fairy land”). Though Kristen Stewart did her famous hair toss move with her open mouth during the movie, I realllyy liked her as Snow White.

And I’ve got my stickers ofcourse. My GetGlue madness continues!

One other “Shit! Why didn’t I See This Before” movie is Running With Scissors.

Running with Scissors is a fantastic movie with it’s uncommon characters. It’s actually an adaption from  Augusten Burroughs’ memoir. I always believe that adapted movies always suck. I can’t say anything about it because I didn’t read the book but after reading a few reviews about it, I believe that the movie is kind of a softened version of his memories. And after the movie you respect the man.

Last monday we saw an appreciable french movie Poupoupidou (Nobody Else But You). It is a weird movie which  contains both comedie and mystery fictions with detective fiction on one side.  And you know, if it’s Marilyn that is in question I am there.

 

I’m still looking forward to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and Rock of Ages. Also Les Adieux à la Reine. I hope to see them all in coming weeks as I’ll have a lot of time :)
