Ida Scott once said:

Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone. And do not trouble about the future for it is yet to come. Live in the present and make it so beautiful, that it will be worth remembering.

yesterday’s mistakes

just wanted to share this amazing song! Yesterday’s Mistakes by Oi Va Voi …

Yesterday’s Mistakes

 

Don't need another resolution to feel
As though I'm going somewhere, somewhere

You said you needed me
Or at least that's what I thought
At times the memories
Seem to be knocking at my door
I've seen the film a million times
Feels like I wrote the storyline
I refuse to replay
The mistakes that we made yesterday

I like to think I'm stronger now
Victim of common sense
The truth is that I know I still
Confuse the past with the present tense
Condensing what we had
To a single frame
That sticks in my mind
As I try to move on
The same image comes back every time

They were yesterdays mistakes
And they were yesterdays mistakes
Yesterday's mistakes
Somewhere

Forgive my selfishness
I'd be grateful if you can
Forget my ingratitude
You think I'm twice the girl I am
They say we should forgive
But not forget
What has gone before
I refuse to replay
The mistakes that we made yesterday
And they were yesterdays mistakes
Yesterday's mistakes
They were yesterdays mistakes
I refuse to replay
The mistakes that we made yesterday
I refuse to replay
The mistakes that we made yesterday

melo80’s

 

tried something new the other day..

I woke-up that morning not liking how my hair looked.. one side straight with big curls the other curly as it can get.. and I didn't have the time to do my hair all over.. so.. an idea popped in my mind.. how would I look if I had short hair?

the Rihanna short hair with the top and front long – kinda the Rihanna hair.. it looked more like the 80s hair to be honest..  

so here are the results..

I got great feedback from friends, colleagues, and strangers..

what do you think?

suskun

"hangisi daha zor, gercegi soylemek mi sevdiginin gozune baka baka.. yoksa ona yalan soylemek mi; git yerine kal demek isterken.. ne kadar saklayabilirsin ki gercegi.. hergun yurudugun yollardan gecicen, hergun gordugun yuzlere bakican.. ayaz sikistirdikca sikistiricak seni..

sen ciglik atmak isticeksin, o normale donmek.. sen gitti diye uzuleceksin, o git dedin diye..

ustune ustune gelecek herkes.. bir yere atmak isteyeceksin kendini.. bi yere.. neresi olursa.. yine de bitek sen bileceksin, kalmak gitmekten daha zor.. "

no more Paris

the only post I could write about Paris was Paris Day 1, no more to come.. as Paris is over.. I am on my way back home.. waiting at the airport for my flight.. (this post was meant for Sunday, March 4th)
Paris was life changing in a sense.. I am going through a change that I am not sure how to explain, put into words or even feel..

I guess you never know what's going to happen in a second later than now..

A friend asked me yesterday if I thought I was a good person or not? at first I said, I hope I was. He said he didn't ask me whether I hoped or not but what I thought about myself.. For a second (minute) I couldn't reply.. I thought about all the people I have hurt, in the past, in near past.. all the people who I might have offended in some way or another, disappointed..

I still do not have an answer to this.. I think it's not important what I think of myself but is important what others would say..
I wonder what my friends would say... what those in my past would say.. I do wonder..

Paris–Day 1

A sleepless night, an early flight.. 3 youngsters go to Paris.. LeCan, Sarpero and I..

After a flight filled with dancing (sleeping for LeCan) we landed in Paris.. got to our hotel and then threw ourselves onto the streets of Paris..

After walking for an hour around our hotel, we took the metro to Concorde.. walked a little over to Champs-Elysees then went into one of my favorite places: L’avenue..

A little bit of our yesterday:
