you make me wanna be the one

i want to say that i adore spray paint. i should become a graffiti artist. last year i started trying to make my own tag. and then i was going to plaster it all over the walls on the staircase leading to the harem iskele in cicekci. but then fatima left for australia and she was supposed to be the look out for the zabita. so yeah. now i cannot take my chances :)

spray paint also smells really good. 

oh my gosh, also i realized what helps me to de-stress! i have tried everything literally. meditation, yoga, working out, singing, dancing, blah blah blah. right. and i realized SOCIALIZING and LAUGHING like a fool is the only thing that works at this point. so when i put myself in brooding artist mode and grumble and fester away... this COULD help my art and progress.... but ultimately, no. 

man, it is almost the end of february... and other roomie from neatherlands, zeliha... comes back today inshAllah... but yeah... end of february.. leaving again beginning of august, ya Allah... so i HAVE to work away... i know the time is going to melt away. and i need to make a list of all the places i have been meaning to visit in istanbul that i have been putting off shamelessly after 2.5 years of being here... like aya sophia and topkapi palace... HAHAHAHAHAH. and then of course sakip sabanci muzesi and the istanbul modern... gotta go there... and suleymania and shakireen cami. and YES! KONYA! when things warm up inshAllah... im gonna make salaha go with me for a few days. yes... that is most important :) and i musttttt totally take advantage of the beaches and proximity to water here. those are the best. and then they have womens' beaches here so i can wear bikinis and lay out in the sun like a lush and tan my otherwise pale and pasty skin to a nice shade of butter cream frosting ;) oh istanbul. you are too good to me, baby. Alhumdulilah rabil alameen :)

but you know... i love eyup so much. i could go there every single day. and i am so happy i will get to spend ramadan here inshAllah. so i can go for taraweeh and such there... and then taraweeh at the blue mosque! yes! 

okay, im gonna calm myself down... drink some tea... munch of some peanuts... and get cracking on assignments. MAKE DUA FOR MY IJAZA EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and you know i have to include some kind of shout out to chotu aka phuppo ka dil in this post:

I LOVE YOU MY BEAUTIFUL ASIYAH BABY LOVE SQUISHOO. I AM SHOUTING THIS FROM THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN TOPS UNTIL MY VOICE LEAVES ME!!!!!!!!!!!
