The home i grew up in a regular apartment flat in Istanbul. We had a lots and lots of good neighbors and me and my friends always went out together and played street games that was the greatest times of my life
When i was a child i wanted to be , Xena The Warrior Princess but i knew that i wasn't that strong that's why i decided to be her best friend.
The moment that chanced me for ever , must be the first time i went to USA with my best friend for 3 months. We had a huge fight after a month and then i spent all my summer in New York all by myself. I could not exactly describe the feelings that i had at that moment but i could say that i felt awesome.
My greatest inspiration , is to feel in love.
If i could change one thing about myself.. I would be a more listener and a less talker.
What i see when i look at the mirror is that I'm getting fatter and fatter by the day. Every Monday I'm going on a diet and every Monday evening I'm giving up on it.
My style icon .. Actually i don't really have one but of course i ' ve been inspiring by the movies . One day i woke up, after watching The Factory Girl , i would like to dress like an Edie Sedgwick or maybe even worse i could decide to imitate Andy Warhol.
The person who really makes me laugh is of course Jerry Seinfeld. I could not get enough of him
A book that changed me .. A Turkish Book called "Her name is Aylin" which is a autobiography and despite the very short life that she had , her achievements are really huge and inspiring .
My favorite work of art.. is a piece from Roy Lichtenstein. http://ebayimages.goantiques.com/dbimages/KZZ9157/KZZ9157GH1073.jpg
My favorite item of clothing are any black shirts with a pair of skinny jeans
Its not fashionable but i like long cardigans that i could wear it on everything
You wouldn't know but i am very good at cooking . Of course i couldn't cook everything but i could cook very fast and very delicious.
You may not know but I'm no good at any team work. I get very nervous and excited at the time same and i keep talking and talking.
All my money goes on nothing that i can save or use it in the very near future. i mean to the crap really.
If i have time to myself , i log on Internet. By the time i open my eyes until close them again,i could not be apart from my PC . i really hate it by the way but it became an addiction somehow.
My house is . i don't really have a house now but I'm moving out in two weeks hopefully i could find a good one .
My most valuable possession is the golden bracelet my mother gave me just before i come to London. I would literally die if i lose it.
My favorite building is my friends penthouse in Manhattan's Upper West Side. It really is incredible.
Movie heaven is of course Bob Dylan's biographic movie "I'm Not There"
The best invention ever .. Internet
The last album i downloaded is The Last Shadow Puppets' - Age of the Understatement. Its incredible really i love them so much that i could listen Alex Turner's voice every day
In 10 years' time , i hope .. i would finished my MA degree , and working also happily married and living London or Manhattan
My greatest regret is that i kind of waste couple of my years for doing nothing after high school . I wish that i would not.
My life in seven words .. songs are the soundtracks of my life

List of problems solved by MacGyver
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of problems that have been solved by the fictional character MacGyver from the television series of the same name. (This list is not yet comprehensive.) MacGyver employs his resourcefulness and his knowledge of chemistry, physics,[1] technology, and outdoorsmanship to resolve what are often life-or-death crises. He spontaneously creates inventions from simple items to solve these problems. These inventions became synonymous with the character and were called MacGyverisms by fans.[2] MacGyverisms became a distinct motif of the series. MacGyver was unlike secret agents in other television series and films because he carried only a Swiss Army knife and duct tape, instead of relying on high-tech weapons and tools.[1]
The show's writers, which included Lee David Zlotoff and Dave Ketchum, based MacGyver's inventions on items they found on location, concepts from scientific advisors John Koivula and Jim Green, and real events.[1] The show also offered a monetary prize to people who sent good ideas in to the show. A young fan of the series suggested that MacGyver could patch up a vehicle's radiator by cracking an egg into the radiator. The episode "Bushmaster" was constructed around this trick, and the fan was rewarded. Although staff were appointed to read every letter sent in, few usable ideas were obtained in this way.[2]
Children watching the series imitated MacGyver and tried to replicate the simple devices he created in the show. The creative team behind MacGyver made a point of leaving out crucial elements of the inventions so that children would not be harmed.[1]

Why the record-breaking falls
- 27 Oct 08, 10:57 AM
Today's fall in stock markets across the world puts us on track to set new records for monthly declines in share prices.
So far this month, share prices in the US and Europe have fallen on average by more than a quarter, those in Asia by a bit more.
Unless there's a sudden bounce, the cumulative monthly falls in October for most major markets will be as big as has been by anyone alive.
In the case of the US, the monthly drop is likely to be the biggest for 70 years. For other markets, where serious measurement of stock-market movements is a younger pursuit, the drops are as bad as any seen since records began some 40 years go.
Why the rout?
Well three things are going on.
First, we're seeing the end of the carry trade, the investment of cheap, low-interest loans raised in yen and dollars for investment in higher yielding financial markets, such as those of the emerging economies, Iceland and - to an extent - the UK.
Investors are liquidating assets everywhere from South Korea, to Argentina, to Hungary, and holding the proceeds in the Japanese and US currencies.

home office
Today i had to cut the class because of the registry that i have to do in The Home Office Center which was quite useless to me , considering the check in registry that i had at the customs after i landed to the London Airport.
l know it is obligatory and it has been continued for ages but still something doesn't just make sense to me .
First of all , why is the 34 pound fee ? i didn't even get the id card which was supposed to be the reason of the registry , but instead i was given a piece of paper which is also a disaster for me because of the horrible picture which was taken by a lady and she didn't even warned me that she was taking a picture.
Secondly , i have to cut the school which i didn't like it, because these are my first weeks at the school and i don't want to be get behind of the rest of the class. i knew that today was an important day for us because the survey questions which was already discussed by now without me and that's why i feel clueless.
And finally because the center was so crowded and i had to wait in line for almost an hour and i got so bored : )
That's all i guess
l must say that i find myself pretty complainant by the way : )
