20 Ways To Survie In A Horror Movie, or Nightmares

Lately I'm seeing nightmares, and woke up in the middle of the night and thinking how I died and what could I do to survive, cause I see this scary movie characters and yes, although I'm super careful they get me! Grrr... And what I stumbled today is awesome! :)

20 Ways To Survie In A Horror Movie:

A quick run-down should you ever find yourself trapped in a horror movie and would prefer to live to tell the tale.
1. Don’t have sex.

• Seriously
• Abstinence is key.

2. Don’t go out with people you’ve just met that day.

• I don’t care how good he says his weed is
• he is cuckoo bananas
• and he wants you dead.

3. Don’t go to camp. Especially one where someone was murdered.

• There are six words you should YouTube, should you get the chance
• “Kevin Bacon in Friday the 13th”

4. Find a good hiding place and… STAY. THERE.

• If the killer can’t see you or hear you WHY WOULD YOU MOVE?
• Possibly the easiest rule to follow and, ironically enough, the easiest to break.

5. Always wear sensible shoes, ‘cause you never know when you’ll need to run through the woods.

• Someone will always be barefoot
• Or in heels
• Or just plain clumsy
• And will sprain their ankles
• And die.

6. If the town looks deserted, it’s probably because everyone is dead.

• Don’t walk around looking for people

7. Don’t be a hero.

• Unless your name is Harry Fucking Potter, you will die.
• Hell, maybe even then.
• I mean.

8. If you hear something creepy in the distance, like a dog’s yelp cut off mid-bark, don’t investigate.

• The killer is there.
• Also your dog is dead.

9. Always check the backseat before entering your vehicle.

• The last thing you need is to be killed while trying to merge on the expressway.

10. If your car breaks down in front of a dilapidated gas station, don’t ask a sketchy-looking townie for help.

• Some part of your body will wind up in his pick-up truck

11. Don’t go into the basement.

• They are creepy enough without you dying in one.

12. If you’re trying to buy a house and the real estate agent won’t answer any direct questions about either the history of the home and/or the previous tenants, DO NOT MOVE IN.

• At some point, someone in the house heard voices and cracked.

13. Turn off the television (and run away) if a girl crawls out of it.

• It is obviously your wisest choice.

14. If the walls of your house bleed, do not attempt an exorcism.

• Move very very far away
• Because there’s blood on your walls.
• Blood.
• Your
• Walls
• Are
• Bleeding.

15. Don’t act like a detective.

• Some crazy Japanese kid who meows like a cat will attack you in a closet.

16. Google the location you’ll be vacationing at.

• If more than five reports for “Missing Persons” pops up, you know not to go there.
• Issue. Solved.

17. Don’t get drunk. Or come under the influence of any mind-altering drug.

• Running away from a killer is that much harder when you’re tipsy and giggling.

18. If you see someone in a mask, don’t assume it’s one of your friends playing a trick on you to scare you.

• It is the killer.
• They will kill you.

19. Don’t take a shower.

• ONLY APPLIES IF:
• It’s past midnight at the campground you and your sorority sisters are staying at or
• The lock to the door doesn’t work and you hear creepy piano music.

20. If the call is coming from inside the house, get out.

• Clearly the killer is not outside, now is he?

Poor Juliet..

I was watching Romeo & Juliet in a theater.. was perfect! It was like the old times, the actors were all men! Romeo was a guy, Juliet was a cute blonde guy, mothers, and the nurse.. all guys!

We were discussing after the show that if Romeo was really in love with Juliet?

- At the beginning Romeo was in love with Rosalie, he loved her deeply, he was only living with her idea, but then he fell in love with Juliet as soon as he saw her.

- The next day they got married secretly and slept together.

The most famous love story: Romeo & Juliet

Conclusion: Romeo was a love addict. He was loving the idea and feeling of "love".

I can hear "but he killed himself for her?!!" Juliet, Rosalie, or anybody else could be this person, who gave him the satisfaction of killing himself for the love. It's not the love for Juliet. Or Rosalie. It's just idea of love, made him buying and drinking the poison.

That's my personal belief about the most beautiful love story ever (!) "Romeo & Juliet"

And Juliet.. Poor girl.. Did she really love him? No! She was only a 13 years old kid who didn't know what love is. But she was sure she didn't want to marry this Paris guy, she liked Juliet more.

Parents of Juliet.. The father who physically and psychologically forced his daughter to marry with Paris.. That's the story still happens to millions of women. However, sometimes no need to a father who force for the more secure life for the daughter. Women live "the Juliet situation": meet with a nice guy with money, secure feeling, and blah blah, and although they don't love this guy, they choose to marry. With the same intentions of that father.. And, here, I'm not judging the parents or the women. How can I?

I just read a news: "The woman whose husband didn't have a job for 8 months, couldn't find wood to heat her 3 children, killed herself desperately." So maybe they loved each other, at least they thought so, but it's not enough to make decisions such as having 3 children. Finance, education, etc, important stuff..

Basically, parents have their own points I respect. Women have their own points, I feel and respect. And I can imagine all different variations so it all depends. But men? Don't you think they are all a Romeo? :) (Do I really mean it or do I just try to make a fancy ending, who knows...)

NOTE: The theatre address here, if you have some time, definitely watch it!!! :) It was a great experience for me, the stage was gorgeous, and actors, and the live musicians, and it's just $20! ;)

Bicycling and Climbing.. What a Great Combination!

I had a great weekend.

1-) I had a bicycle tour in a sunny Saturday with my friend. We started from 49th St, trough Hudson River till Battery Park. The plan was go all over Manhattan coming back from China Town, but.. the conversation was almost like that:

	everything is nice, ready, let's go!
	hmm.. it's a bit cold ha?
	it's warm now.. view is great.. I'm listening music and singing :) but, wind is coming in front of us.
	the parks are beginning and they are nice..
	it's too windy.. I'm cold..! I don't want to be sick, can we just take the subway?

	I can't go from China town, let's just turn back from here, wind will come back of us..
	aww, what's that?? ahaha it's snowing!! :)
	I can't seee!! the wind is again in front of us!
	2 blocks more...
	and it takes forever to go upstairs cause I can't walk!! but in the end at home.. :)

2-) Let me introduce you with my new muscles :) On that sunny Sunday, I went for climbing, of course indoor. It was  my first professional class and try, and guess what? I was good. I liked it.. I climbed really hard parts, and I'm writing 2 days later now, my back muscles still hurt me so bad!! Yes, I think they are my parts that never worked before..

My suggestions:

• Before an activity such as climbing, don't do a 2 hours biking tour if you're not used to.. Give at least 2 days break.
• Do bike tours, it's one of the best thing to do in the city.
• Don't do it in the cold :( You sweat, but the wind is cold, and you can get sick..
• Carry some vitamin water, and basically a water cap, you can fill it on the way.
• Make eye contact with all these nice looking athletic women and men you cross ;) And maybe with some puppies :)
• Climbing, oh, it's really hard.. Even for me (i'm a monkey (:), it was difficult after 1 hour. My arms and hands were shaking.. 
• Yep, shortly, enjoy your body.. =)

Edit: Get ready for marks on your knees, and hands cause of climbing.. my mom would describe it "like a kid" 

A New Chapter In My Life

Oh boy,

I'm in love.. I can't stop thinking about her. It makes my little heart beat faster.. I'm deeply in love with my close-future bicycle..

I don't know how it happened but, I never had a bicycle lifestyle, I can't believe it.. It makes your body fit, you can watch around, you can stop whenever, park everywhere, free, and it's cute :) Whenever I travel, I always try to rent a bike if I get a chance to discover the city, and how come I never thought to have one? Whatever, it's still not too late :) Yes, I'm looking to buy one like below. If you see her somewhere, please let me know my NYer friends! Now, get ready to meet with my future bike, and the bike lifestyle in the city, yiwhueeeee:

beautiful, right? a vintage style bike with a basket! haha, I can put my books, extra shoes,  drinks, fruits, everything-everything..

hmm, what else? I can put Wolf in there :)

I can go to the riverside and biking and feel the breeze and stop if I wanna watch the NJ skyline.. :)

I can go out with this? to meet with friends? park at the outside, and lock it.. then go back home with it :) 

I can draw some art stuff like that because I understand the bike lovers now.. I feel so stupid. I am the one who loves physical activity and nature: here it is! 

this one is a little bit real old bike that can stop working easily, so nope. but can you imagine people were riding these in the history at the same roads we're using now..

Europe. in Amsterdam, I remember women were exactly like that. Italy, sounds good, but they are also crazy drivers & crazy roads.. 

Probably I should be careful in the city, I'll make a research about that and will write it here :)

love. I think this should be love. by the way, I can go with my turtles to Central Park :) haha. who said only with dogs?!

It's still in my list to buy a motorcycle, but in NYC, it's really dangerous (crazy cap drivers, they literally don't know how to drive). So, my lovely ninja will wait a little bit more, till I'll be sure about it.

this ninja is small, sexy, fast enough and just like my type.

Superbowl, Some Dirty Secrets & Valentine's Day

• Superbowl.. I was supporting the other team when everyone else was cheering for Giants in a crowded superbowl-house-party .. It's more fun in this way. (I generally try to give and represent the other ideas when everybody believe and support same thing, just to let them remember what they believe, and why they do it.) 
• They played few different national song, and I felt in the room, everybody felt so proud of being an American. TV connected to the soldiers in Afghanistan when they were singing the song. You know all Americans have different ethnicity but they are one = American. And the government do everything to promote this feeling, and it should be in this way, not the other.  
• Number 12, we loved you :) Let me find a photo of him :)

Well, who said make up is only for women?! Look at this guy, from Giants or the Other.. But it made him look like more man!

• That reminded me:

Rustu Recber, Turkish goalkeeper, after him, everybody started to want to be a goalkeeper. :)

• When I was a kid, I was watching soccer a lot. Well.. Batistuta was my very favorite player.. :)

-----

And let's talk about some dirty secrets.. Maybe I shouldn't tell here, but I'd feel guilty if I don't..

You know I go to gym, I try to go 3 times in a week, but sometimes I can only go once.. and.. well.. what I realized lately is:

• I eat pizza before and after gym! One slice only, but I think that's the only reason I have a tummy! Every time I leave the gym, I get so tired, and need energy and .. and.. I eat these 1$, super unhealthy, and delicious food!
• Everyday!!!! Everyday I eat ice cream :) haha. I don't feel guilty about that.. It's the best thing ever.. I think it's coming from my childhood, someone told me it's milk, so it's healthy.. and here I am.. eating ice-cream every night =)
• And.. The worst thing is.. I don't eat enough.. Enough to live healthy.. and I feel guilty: people can't find food to eat cause of financial issues, and so many die, and I put myself in the same position. I'm trying to change this sick situation by cooking. Cause I can't eat outside very easily.. But homemade food, yes!
• I checked in google, how to boil potatoes, now waiting them to cook, I'm hungry!
• By the way, this nightmare day is coming.. Just after Christmas, shopping malls put their commercial stuff in their stores.. Well, I even bought something for me, too (like a little teddy-bear holding "love you") You know which day I'm talking about: Valentines day!
• Who thinks 2012 is going really fast??? Is it only me?

Experiences, Fears, I Think... 2

Terrible.. bad experience.. again:

My last public speech! Everything started pretty well, as I learned from previous ones, I decided to get ready for this one. I told my friends it's going to be well-prepared this time.

I started preparing 1 hour ago(!) with making an outline with a brain mapping tool. I was supposed to explain one of my favorite city, Ashgabat, so I made a great outline, printed it, also added some photos of the dictator of Turkmenistan, and on&on.. 

I started presenting with this question, I love questions, "Everybody loves travelling right? Well, no: some people hate it and they prefer staying in their comfortable home, and friends" and then talked about "my travelling" concept, how & why.., as always I was very confident and made sure my audience will hear something interesting and they will want to visit afterwards..

Well..

Then I started talking about my Ashgabat trip, and then..

The time was up!! I officially and literally said "Noooooooo!! You're kidding me. I didn't even started". The timer were looking so sad and desperate as if it's his fault :)) But, it was over.

No-you-can't-do-that-to-me-look.. grrr..

Yes, I didn't practice my speech, and the best part which I was keeping for the end of my speech was never mentioned.. "you can't go out after 11pm without car, forbidden", "smoking is not allowed outdoor cause Turkmenbashi - their leader stopped smoking", "you can't have any unmarried relationship, cause hotel employee, your neighbors call soldiers if you do something nasty, and the reasons are..", etc..

I was so excited, and I felt one of the greatest disappointment in my life for few seconds.. regret, anger, disappointment, and I'm sure more of them.. and there was one more feeling: being happy and calm.. that knowing it was only practice, what if it was an important presentation or speech..? I'd lose so many opportunities with an unprepared important speech and feel regret forever?!

Let's recap very quick the most important parts of preparing a speech:

1. Know your audience (yes, I do)
2. Why do you do that, what's the point (yes, I get that)
3. Prepare your outline, don't go away from topic  (always, at least in my mind, for everything I have an outline) 
4. Practice, practice & practice (over confident makes me, "aww I don't need that, I'll do it easily", but that's so important for so many reasons, and my main mistake!)

Things Happen You Never Expect...

Oh my God!! I still can't believe what happened...

Everything started with a skype call with my dad. I was kinda sick, and he was kinda mad that I was not taking care of myself, these conversation can only be with my parents:

I said: "Noo, I take care, just didn't eat enough lately.

He said: "Why didn't you eat?!"

I: Well, I didn't want to... I hate eating!!!!

He: WTF!??

I: Well, in home, my mom was cooking, and I was eating, I love these kind of yummy, healthy food. But when I started college, I realized I don't like to eat outside, and I can't cook. It's still same.. I'm always forcing myself to eat.. It's not fun eating for me anymore.

(At this moment, my mom brought a dish and I heard she said don't show her, then my dad :(( he started eating "manti" very clearly and sapur-supur in front of me)

He: Well, you don't like to eat then no problem, ha?

I: Noooooooooooooooo!!!!! That's torture!!!

Yes, he, my lovely dad, ate all of my favorite food in front of the camera, and I was so so so sad, and desperate... I wrote in my facebook, "what am I gonna do now? :(" And solution came from one of my best friend: why don't you cook yourself?

And I'll keep it very short, I found the recipe in google, went shopping, texted my roommate, I'm cooking the dinner, don't eat!!! and for 4 hours (seriously) I prepared it... There are 4 basic long process (I didn't know it was that long), that I don't know their English description, etc..  I asked my roommates help (poor girl, she rejected eating somewhere else to eat my food, and found herself helping me cooking), she said when we were preparing it: "Turkish Girl, don't ever cook again". I'm still laughing it, and I said OK, your wish is my command! :))

The point of my story is:

• I can cook!!! The interesting thing is, later this week, I cooked again and again: pasta with bolognese sauce, french fries with pepper, tomatoes sauce, Turkish yogurt with garlic sauce (I couldn't take photos, cause I was extremely hungry) I started enjoying my meals again :)
• Don't give up! This four-cooking-manti-process was difficult, I saw my mom was doing and it was looking easy.. When I realized somethings wrong, I thought I made a mistake, and fucked it up. I didn't have so many supplies, like roller, I found a big bottle and used it as a roller (I cleaned it of course). I could give up, but I tried.. This happened in all-3 process.. :( I was almost ordering some food, cause I was still sick (remember I talked with my dad in the morning)
• I repeat again, I can cook :))
• and again: Don't give up, whatever you're doing. And nothing is impossible :) If I can cook, you can do anything!!!! Anything ever..

Here the photos: 

fresh looking right? Manti is kind of heavy food.. I remember we couldn't move for a while after eating all :)

My first plan was cooking a lot, so I can keep it in the freezer and eat later, but trust me, it took years from my life, so I  decided to not be greedy =)

"Do one thing every day that scares you" Oh boy, I touched meat.. 

Just a spicy, oily sauce :)

And that's MANTI: my favorite food! And it was so yummy... Although I said I'm not going to cook again, I can do it again.. :)

And these are from Christmas time:

Did I ever mention, although I hide my socks Wolf ate them? :)) 

And then, I brought her to my home, she pied everywhere :) And I gave her my bear to play :)

But, then Wolf was not kissing her, she was biting and eating my poor bear, I felt sorry.. What was my cute bears fault?

And after these pose, I saved her life.. :)

That's our winter drink: ginger, lemon, garlic, honey, and I don't know what that red thing is.  Obviously I don't make it but my roommate, but I love to drink.. So good! :) edit: "red thing is cinnamon silly"

My New Two Love: Josh and Scott

I don't generally talk about inspirational companies, and products here. But this time, I have to mention Josh and Scott, and kickofflabs! Who are these guys? And what's this kick-thing?

Imagine, you have a great idea: what would you do?

1. you can think about it forever, till one day, you hear someone else did it, and you start telling everyone, you were thinking the same: it's too late.
2. you can start working on it really hardcore, and then when you launched the website and business, you realize there are no customers!!! nobody actually wants that! you only get disappointment, waste of time and maybe money. yes, idea was great, but probably timing was not..
3. you can create a coming soon page, and let people know what's coming next. and see how many people sign-up.. :) see the demand.. make a market research.. see maybe you should change something, etc..

So, kickofflabs basically creates great, useful, social integrated coming soon pages (landing page maker) in less than a hour! You can see the details in their website. But why do I love Josh and Scott?

Again, imagine you have a business: what's your most important treasure?

1. if you say your product, no! let me tell :) your most important element is your customers.
2. you should have a contact with them. you need to have a list, nowadays it's called email list. that's the access to your most important treasure: customers. 
3. customer relations have always been the most important value in a business for me. if you're business is not great with your list, you can build a new one.
4. Scott and Josh always answer my questions less than 2 hours (even weekends) and you never receive anything from a no-reply mails.
5. I feel like they love me :) that's how customers should feel, right? 
6. and they have one of the best, clean, smart, logical internet marketing blog! my favorite one is this one: so true about why start-ups shouldn't be your target :)
7. also, I think just seeing how they do their business is as good as reading about it :)  

Maybe just one single suggestion I can give is: since their target are businesses, they can focus using linkedin more, and connect with their current clients. I'm sure so many will write reviews and once they write it, it will appear in others profile, too. (word of mouth)

Thanks guys, although I'm one of the person who don't pay for the things I can do by myself, you made my work easier, in a very quick time and with high quality. I don't even use the monkey, although I love their service and support. I'll use your service for all of my projects :)

Youtube Craziness and Brain Maps

Today I want to share some stuff I liked lately:

1. It's a TED talk, and as always it's inspiring and make you think.. It's absolutely not just the app, or the visuals, I like what and how the guy (Marco Tempest) is telling. He use technology with old style magic and also, he use social media to engage with his audience! Nice! And he's living in NYC.



2. lol. I watched that hilarious video at least 3 times! So funny. Cruel parents.. Innocent kids.. :) And I love this batman t-shirt kid! Also, after watching that, you can watch the Jimmy Kimmel - Youtube Challenge - I gave my kids a terrible present part 1, too. I then watched some of the scary maze thing, and keep going like that..



3. haha. Why dads always make us (daughters) in love and crazy? I liked that girl.. :))



4. New year is going so fast. we're on the 9th Jan! And one of my close friend told me, he likes time is fast. I asked so would you like to wake up one day and see you're married with a woman, have 2 kids, and still working in a 9-5 job at the same office? He said yes :)

5. My turtles are still alive. :) And I love them. And I learned that they carry salmonella viruses. So I can't kiss them :( and even I can't touch them now (scared to be sick), but they are sooooo cute :)

6. I always say and believe the power of brain and belief. What makes Nadal a great tennis player is not his muscles or training or anything else: only his brain makes him different than others. So, this is the last video I'll share. (I forgot youtube can be very addictive, it's like my reading books addiction: reading all of this novels which are simple and easy and without any point like twilight, harry potter, all romantic-comedy style women novels, Bridgette Jones diaries, hunger games, etc.. If I start I have to finish the story to turn back to life, so I stop eating, talking, everything till I finish the book. So, youtube is same! watch forever, in the end? waste of time. But yes, my weekend was kind of waste of time :p )



7. At last, I found an app for my crazy working brain. I'm so surprised why I was so late to find it, cause there were so many options. This is a tool to map your brain, making your life easy :) I was always trying to use paper to map my thoughts, but lately it was getting so messy, and I was getting lost. (I LOVE PAPER: real books, real note-books, pen, eraser, and I don't believe I'll be e-person ever. But sometimes they are irresistible). Cause if you can see how you think and plan it and make clear your priorities, you're happier. You know what to do next. This is the one I started using: thinkbuzan, however, there are so many other companies giving the same kind of service, I downloaded their free version to check and liked it so far!

Happy New Year!!! :)

New years...

Isn't the best time to do some evaluation of the last year, and making new plans and having new goals..

Also, having someone new :)

I got 2 baby turtles.. :) It just happened! Didn't plan. I saw them in the subway!!! And I knew they will bring luck and love in this new year! :)

my lovely baby turtles need love, uv light, 28C temperature, a bigger space, stone, tree pieces...  any donation is accepted :)

So I have to make sure they will be alive.. If we think about my past: 1 bird, 1 rabbit, and they are all dead.. if there is anything in the world I'm regret, and will be, is these lives.. I think I killed them. Absolutely I did: I forgot to give water to my birdie for a week (probably I thought my mom would give some, cause she was visiting me that time), and my rabbit (the doc told that she was soo baby. she should had the mommy milk, not my fault.) Yes. I'm guilty. I accept that. But these turtles will live!!

merdie... she was being my best friend, and protector from dark and ghosts when I was living alone..

the first times, she was just walking, then she learned jumping!! And seeing her jump is the best thing..

whenever I see that photo, I remember how small she was and whenever I take her in my hands, she was sleeping like that..:((((((

My daddy told me: You're selfish, raising an animal at home is not their nature, it's not a toy, you can't have it like a devil-eye to give you luck.

He has a big point so I'm not gonna discuss it.. I agree with him.

Please wish me luck. They are so so so sweet. And although they are baby, they are super smart. I want to keep them forever! Also, I feel so sad for my bird and rabbit. Should I try to win the guilt feeling? Cause I feel guilty!

EUROPE! TURKIYE!!

Happy new year!!! You're already in 2012?! How does it feel like? :)

Tonight there are so many parties, I picked the most nicest one :) Nice means? Not so crazy, like last year: Times Square.. This year, in a roof, watching the fireworks, with friends.. :)

I wish peace and more eco-friendly industrial applications for the world.

Love,
Turkish Girl
