The New Life In The New Age

27 Aug

Hi there! It feels like forever since I’ve last posted something here. August is about to be over. Summer is flying away! And September is just around the corner. My favorite month of the year.

There have been incredible changes in our lives during this summer. The most important; I QUIT MY JOB! I did it! Finally!

Actually, I was so happy to work there, loving my job, learning tons of things each day, spending time with the best collegues in the world. But at the beginning of 2012, my department changed so did my manager. Short story, we couldn’t get along and before things started getting ugly, I quit. I left on 31st of July and from that day, I feel that quiting my job was the best and smartest decision I’ve made so far. Right now I’m a housewife and I don’t have a job! I still can’t believe it!

I’m not planning to find a new job soon. I want to stay awhile and spend some time for myself, my family, my husband, my friends, our home and the things I want to do but never had the time for. I might have a short vacation with my mother in coming days. I do want to spend time at home but housework seems to exhaust me already. We had to fire the lady who used to come cleaning to our house weekly. So now, everthing about the house is on me. But it’s not a problem because everyday is mine. I’m going to make a weekly plan about houseworks and daily cooking. I’m so happy that I will have enough time to read, to workout and to cook.

A few days after starting my new life, we took a vacation with my darling. One week full of sun, sea, books and relaxation. We went to Assos where It was my first time. It’s an antique city with wonderful coves and views. The sea was perfect. We will certainly plan another trip there!


We took some underwater photos but they look blurred and weird this year. I think we need another camera, a pro one.

I’ll upload our vacation photos on Flickr soon. And I didn’t have time to share my vacation playlist. It’s going to be here also.

September is coming. It means our 1st year wedding anniversary and my 30th birthday. Thank god I’ve found a pleasent present for my sweetheart . I can’t say anything now, maybe after the 3rd of September.

And my 30th birthday. I’ve been thinking about having a pompous and dazzling birthday party for months but now I want only the people I love and care about. Good music, good drinks and people I love, that’s enough for me. And spending another 30 years together.

BUUUUUTT… I’ve already started some preparations for the party. I hope to see friends there and have a nice time together.

In days to come, be sure that there will be some romantic and delicate posts here.

My goals! I won’t be able to accomplish all of them, I know. Like, having a tattoo must wait. And turning blonde…Last week I decied to dye my hair PİNK! I’ve always wanted pink hair but never had the chance. I spend years and years with copper hair which I was in love with. But now, as I am a housewife and have no management that prohibits me, I’m free to do what I want! Still this goal needs to wait for winter. I seriously don’t care about what people think, I’m doing it.

One goal I accopmlished during the vacation : My sock monkey.

I know he doesn’t look like a monkey but here he is. His name is Olivio and he’s going to be a present for my sister.

Next week I hope to bake a rainbow cake and having a lunch (not dinner) and see a movie.

Now I have to leave lovelies, I’m planning to go to the swimming pool and then go to grocery shopping and buy some organic stuff for my 2 days detox program.

I’ll be here with more posts soon.

Love,

F.

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.

The Ultimate Vacation Playlist Part 2!

4 Aug

Tatile çıkamayan bünyelere gerçekten üzülüyorum. Samimiyim. Yeni işe başlamış, yıllık izin haketmemiş ve bu konuda disiplinli bir yerde çalışan insanlar( burada iş verene seslenmek istiyorum! Ne var ki 3-4 gün izin versen de çalışanının motivasyonunu arttırsan?! ), yeni bebegi olup da yavrucugun huzurunu, düzenini bozmamak için evde kalan anne- babalar, son dönem harcamaları, masrafları fazla olup da maddi açıdan sıkışıkken tatile çıkamayanlar…Gerçekten çok zor…Bu playlistim onlar için gelsin valla içimden geldi, bütün bir senenin yorgunlugunu attırmayacak elbette efendim ama bu sıcak agustos günlerinde sizi biraz hareketlendirirse ne mutlu bana.
