2 Oct

I’mentioned before that I haven’t been a good girl about my goals on my way to 30. I managed to accomplish only half of them.

We surprisingly had the chance to visit France this year in june. We didn’t tell anybody to not to jinx it and ruin our luck. We told only a few close friends and our families. We won a free trip from our satellite television provider to south of France.  It organized a competition. We were suppossed to write an essay about a movie that changed your life after seeing it. I wrote about the movie Le Premier Jour Du Reste De Ta Vie and we won! It was a magical holiday and the best part was it was aaaallll free!

This year one of my goals is to visit Paris. Oh how I miss there!

*Work Less. Everyone Works.

2 May

It’s always the same… You work your ass off, the nerve wracking business makes you mad, the stupid voices at the office, during the meetings, make you wanna force choke everyone there or you dream about becoming Tate from AHS and you know the story…

Then you decide that you need a vacation. A few days seem enough. You take it. You grandmotherly pack your bags and leave. You spend 6 nice days away from everything but close to things you like, people you love. Soon afterwards, the last day it hits you that you’ll spend the next day at the office, hearing all those stupid voices. And the next day, and the next one. And the next…

The never ending story…

Well, I’ve been away from blogosphere for a while and how I needed that. I renewed my domain for another one year today ( hooraaay!!!) and hoping to be back for posting regularly.

Meanwhile we had a petit vacation in Istanbul last week. My sister and friends were in Amsterdam and we were tasked to take care of their kitties. It was nice spending 6 days with friends when we’ve missed Istanbul a lot.

I think I put on 6 lbs in 6 days. So starting from today, I’m heading to gym every single day. Also I read that the best way to get over post vacation blues is to eat healthy, do sports and sleep well. So that might be a great start for me.

I remember last year may time… Oh it was such a tempest as we were dealing with our wedding preparations. I remember organizing each weekend! There were always places to be, people to see, rendezvous to catch! It’s now nice to have some calm and quite time this spring. So I need to focus on my 30 things before 30 list.

I was supposed to read 10 French Litterature Classics. I started reading La Peste and I’m stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilllll reading it. I suck when it comes to reading, I know.

Some of them needs to be changed as there is no way that we go to France this year.( Visiting Le Chateau de Versailles, Disneyland Resort, Paris…) or going back to blonde as my friend and hairstylist doesn’t let me. Maybe I can find other goals to accomplish before I turn 30 next september. Here is my goals by the way.

One last thing before I leave, you can check out this website to see a pooper who can not and shouldn’t try a challenge again.

Love,

F.

30 THINGS BEFORE 30!

23 Nov

Finally I completed my goal list!

1. Start Saving Money.

This is something I needed to do ages and ages ago!

I was never a saver. But things have changed. One way or another we are a family right now. We have responsabilities. And also there are zillion things we want to do. Things that can be done with money. Starting from January 1,  2012 I’m done with the unconscious shopping. (I have 1 and a half month ahead!)

2. Visiting Le Chateau de Versailles.

I can be your best guide when it comes to exploring Paris. I’ve been in Paris  for 4 times.But each time, I never had the chance to visit Palace of Versailles.Visiting France with my husband is one of the things we’re dying for. This time Versailles will be our first stop!

3. Put My Green Trousers on The Market Again!

These are my favorite trousers. My sister has bought them for me 145 years ago from ZARA. Unfortunately I can’t fit in them right now. But one day in 2012, hopefully in summer time, I’ll be in them and posing like a celebrity for the cameras!

4.Start using Anti-Wrinkle Creams.

I’m planning to start using anti-wrinkle creams before I turn 30. Right now I’m looking for the ideal cream as a woman on her early thirties. I don’t want to use a really effective cream. I think it is early for such precaution. As soon as I find it, I’ll share it with you.

5. Have an Original Chanel 2.55

Not much to say. I’m in love with those bags. I hope I can have an original one day.

6. Redecorate Our Bedroom.

Actually, we want to redecorate every single room in our house but I want pay more attention to our bedroom.

7. Achieve 95% Acuracy in Michael Jackson The Experience Beat It performance.

This is so happening baby!

8. Visiting Ankara With Train.

Oh! How I miss travelling with train! I used to travel to Eskisehir to see my sister when she was a student there. I also want to take the train to Ankara, our capitol city.

9. Start to Qigong

I really want to learn more about this stuff.

10. Learn Single Ladies Dance.

It’s hard, isn’t it?

11. Going to Positano.

This is one of the places I want to see. Maybe this summer?

12. Treat Myself a Delicious Dinner and Then a Movie.

I used to go to movies all alone. But right now I prefer a lovely company :) though we haven’t seen a movie for months! This is something I can do when he is out of town or country.

13. Improve My Website

Last week, it turned out that this is not only my concern but also some curious birdies’ out there haha. For your information, I’m going to sell my designs here one day precious babies, I hope it to happen in 2012. Please try to be patient like me :)

14. Stargazing With Him.

My sister and I were stargazers when we were kids, competing on who could see more. I want to experience it with my lovely husband this year. Guess it would be more romantic with him ❤

15. Visiting Disneyland Resort, Paris.

I’ve been there for 3 times and I can’t get enough baby! Our second stop will be Disneyland Resort, just after the Palace of Versailles.

16.  Ice Skating.

Yes I’ve never ice skated before. Just because I’m too afraid to fall and break my leg…But I’m going to try it even it’s for 5 minutes.

17. Having a Dressing Table.

This was my dream since I was a little girl.

18. Bake a Rainbow Cake.

19. Bowling.

Well this is kinda embarrassing but I’ve never played bowling before. I don’t know why. I was just more into going to bowling and having a beer and chips. I need to play at least once before I turn 30.

20. Make a Sock Monkey and Give as a Gift.

I’m not sure if I can give it away or not…

21. Pimp Our Fridge.

I’m planning to turn our fridge to Domokun.

22.  Throw a Halloween party.

There is something  I’m already done with. We had the amazing Halloween party in our place with our friends. We’re going to have this party every year.

23. Get Inked.

I want to be a tattooed lady before 30!

24. Turn Blonde Again.

I decided to be blonde again. I don’t know when because right now I’m taking care of my hair, applying hair masks, trying to strengthen it. But in 2012 you will see me blonde one day.

25. Prepare My Portfolio.

I am definetely going to create time for bringing out a portfolio this year. It’s really hard when you have a full time job but I’ll try to do my best.

26. Carting.

Never tried it before. Maybe I have a massive talent for this???

27. Read 10 essential Books of French Litterature and Watch 10 Essential French Movies.

I’m just not sure about the reading. I’m going to share the titles here soon.

28. Cook 4 Different Meals in 1 Day For Dinner.

It’s a child play for me…

29. Pop a Bottle of Champagne In The Middle of our Living Room.

I’m not sure with this…Really…Don’t know…

30. Cycle All Day Long.

I want to leave the house in the morning with my bike and turn back when it’s dark. Like the old times, when we were kids.

I hope to accomplish them all but I know it’s impossible. I’ll be dealing with these goals for the next year before I become 30. I’ll keep you updated, don’t worry :)

Love,

F.
