eat pray and love

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. "
EAT, PRAY and LOVE


On Saturday, I went to see the movie "Eat, Pray and Love" which was adapted from the novel. I had read the book so I wondered how it was filmed. The movie is about a divorced woman who travels to Italy, India and Bali to survive from depression and sorrow. The woman is played by Julia Roberts.
In Italy, she tries to learn Italian and enjoy life. She meets new friends, eats delicious Italian food and has a good time. In India, she does yoga and meditation. There she concentarates on her feelings and learns to accept herself. And finally in Bali, she meets very friendly local people and falls in love with a man. Although she is afraid to fall in love again, she takes a step to overcome this fear. That's how the movie ends.
If you want to see beautiful views from different countries and like romantic movies, you should definitely see it. It goes good with popcorn and coke:) Have you watched any films this weekend?

monday blues

Do you feel bad and tired on Monday mornings? I sometimes do, but today was different. I was feeling energetic and happy. I think when you have a good and happy weekend, it makes your Monday easier and sunnier. After having a lazy home-sweet-home day on Friday evening and on Saturday, I went to a rock music concert at night. One of my friends has an amateur music band called 8 saat. It was their second concert, but they were very proffesional and cool on the stage. On Sunday, I took a walk in Kuzguncuk and met my friends in Kadıköy. It was sunny and warm. That felt very good after a rainy and chilly week. All in all, that was a very peaceful and cheerful weekend for me. What about for you?

Here we go!

Today we started a new school year. The quiet and empty building became lively and crowded again. You could see everybody running in the corridors, excited, happy and a little bit anxious. As for me, I was energetic, happy and excited to meet my new students. Every year I meet 40 or 50 new people and learn their names, get to know them during the year. That is quite a chance for an occupation. It never gets boring. Once in the classroom, a teacher forgets everything and just concentrates on the class. I think this is wonderful. I'm very glad to meet each of you. Until tomorrow, stay safe and have a good rest but take a look at my question first: What were the good things and bad things for you today?
