Washington Diaries 2014: What Should I Do in Washington DC

As a regular tourist of course u should see  Monuments and Memorials in Washington DC which are:
Since Washington, DC's monuments are spread out, it is hard to visit all of them on foot. At busy times, traffic and parking makes it difficult to visit the monuments by car. The best way to see all the monuments is to take a sightseeing tour. Many of the monuments are open late at night and their illumination makes nighttime a memorable time to visit them. Or you can walk like us. The all famous monument is close to each others so if u think it's enough to see some of them you can start with The World War II Memorial. than continue with the others you can see at the end of road....

This is the U.S. Supreme Court I guess... We had limited time so I never seen any interior of buildings and I have suspicions about I would if I even had time but outside of them pretty good too:)

 I remember this square from the legendary speech of Martin Luther King: I have a dream...

Visit the White House and don't tag yourself with this building as White House. No man, this is not White House. This is  U.S. Capitol. 



And this is White House: Yes it's small and No, We didn't see The President... And yes Capitol is cooler than White House. Years and years when the Aliens blow out this building we got sad for nothing:)

On the National Mall or near the river you will find statues and plaques on many street corners around the city.



One morning we went to the riverside for jogging. It was unbelievable too. U should really try this on. I took all of this pics just near the river. Weather, environment, nature, statues .. All of them incredible and made me think that like I'm in a European city...

  

 

 And the streets... Georgetown, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Washington, DC, It has many of shops and restaurant that you can relief and eat quality. I really don't like to suggest any restaurant name cause they are closing and opening end visa versa but I'm pretty sure that u can find many.

And Port. Like every city which has  board to river or sea Washington has a beautiful port and Ferris wheel. Prefer night...

  We went one of jazz bar and was pretty fine too.

 

I started to sick of museums but Crime Museum kinda interesting.

 

By the way u know I'm working at Microsoft or u learned just now but here is MS pics of me:) Washington Convention Center was and MS WPC Conference was epic... Ok may be not epic but its Ok:)

 

My blog

Tanıdığım insanlardan bir blogum olduğunu saklıyorum genelde. Tabi benimkine de blog denirse...
am arada sırada birilerine "blogum var" dediğimde adresinin ne olduğunu öğrenmek için öleceklerini sanıyorum ama kimse sallamıo valla. Düşündüğüm kadar eğlenceli biri diilim galiba. Peehhh...

I'm usually hiding that I have a blog from people I know but when I tell occasionally someone I think they would die to learn it's address. But guess, noone cares. I think I'm not as fun as I'm think:)

 Peki bir zamanlar best badyin olan insanların bir noktada sizin sevmekten vazgeçmesi. Birini ya seversin ya sevmez ve arkadaş olmazsın öyle değil mi? Hangi noktada çok sevdiğin birini artık sevmemeye karar verirsin ki. Ya da hadi böyle bir karar verdin kalbin bu kararı nasıl izler. İnanın bana o kadar çok birilerini artık sevmemeye karar verdim ki. ama hiç bir kararımı tutmaya ikna edemedim kalbimi. Keşke kızdıkları neyse beninle paylaşsalar, kavga etsek, birbirimize her neye kırıldıysak acıklasak ya da baktık düzeltebileceğimiz bir şey değil ikimiz de kızgın ayrılsak. Hiç olmazsa "Noldu ki" düşüncesinden kurtulurduk... Neyse...

What about the ones who are your best friend once and suddenly they just give up... U can love somebodies or not but you can not just decide in the middle of the friendship or love and start to not love them, right? Ok when I say love it doesn't seems as right as I thought but may be in friendship... No... While I'm writing I noticed that yes you can decide. I'm just nonsense. Ok. Whatever...

 

Peki madem ilişki ya da arkadaşlıkta birbirimizi sevmekten vazgecebileceğimize karar verdik, next step için bir formul bulalım. Bu kişiler sizi sevmemeye başladığı anda uzaklaşalım mı hayatlarından. Şimdiye kadar ki vazgeçmeme kuralım bende çok çalışmadı. Peki next kuralımız şu o zaman. Oyle hissettiğim anda arıza çıkarmak. Kavga etmek. Hahahah... Yazarken bile komik... Ama eğlenceli  olabilir.

 

So we decided that it's Ok to start not to love someone in the middle of the relationship, than what should be our next step. Should we just left them in the hell that they already live? Which never worked for my good... Or from now on at the moment that we felt the unkindness or an attitude make a scene, start a huge fight... Event writing this is funny but it can be fun:)

 

Neden bana kimse #icebucketchallenge 'da meydan okumadı...Bi Peehh de burdan. Sıkıcı biri olduğum yönündeki teori gittikçe gerçeğe yakınsıyor...

 

Why nobody challenged me on #icebucketchallenge ? The theory about I'm boring is getting closer to be a fact. Pehhh...

Peki şimdi de daha eğlenceli olmak için ne yapmalı konulu düşünceciğe geldi sıra. Daha çok eğlenceli şey izlemeli bir kere. Bi de belki biraz daha okumak... Eğlenceli insanlarla takılmak mümkün olduğunca şimdi düşününce ok ben sıkıcıyım da A, B, C, çok mu eğlenceli. Yok anacım herkes çok sıkıcı. Ok, kitap dizi, film, karikaturden gidicez o zaman.

 

Then now it's turn to idea of how can we be more fun. First we should watch more comedy seriesi movies or read comedy books. Standups can be useful too:) And be with fun people. If you have some of them around you of course. I just noticed that I don't many... Ok stick with books and movies:)

 

#‎Yağmurdabalkonyıkanlarderneği‬ üyeliğinden ‪#‎Balkonaçamaşırasmayıunutanlarderneği‬ üyeliğine geçiş... Haliyle geçen yıkanan balkona çamaşır asmak mantıklıydı. Taa ki alt kattaki her bir balkona ayrı ayrı çamaşırlar düşürmeye başlayıncaya dek. Hemen altımdaki balkonun sahibi evde olmayınca daha alttaki balkon sahibi teyzeye "Hihi, kusura bakmayın, balkonunuza camaşırımız düştü, size zahmet, alabilir miyim" cümleleri ile komşuluk ilişkilerimi 0'dan 1'e geliştirdim, which me...ans lot. Sonra hemen alttaki kapısı açılmayan balkondaki çamaşırımı ucuna kanca sekli verilmiş çatal iğneli ip oltamı atarak, mühendislik becerilerimle gurur duyarak bir yandan, almaya çalıştım ki bu innovative girişimim çamaşırı, biraz once balkonundan çamaşır istediğim dairenin balkonuna tekrar düşürmemle sonuçlandı. Mühendislik becerilerim bunca yıl sonra kaybolmuş demek ki. Ama insan ilişkilerinde kendimi geliştirmiş olmalıyım ki aynı teyzeynin zilini tekrar basıp sanki olay super saçma diilmiş gibi bir daha çamaşır istemeye gittim:) Tabi kadının kapısında gülme krizine girmem kadını da biraz rahatlaşmış olmalı. "İstersen buraya getir, çamaşırı burda asalım" diye espri bile yaptı... Yani ben espri olarak algıladım. Laf da sokmuş olabilir.
Neyse çok komikti işte diye burada bitirebilirdim ama bir çamaşırı daha hemen alta kapısı açılmayan daireye düşürdüm... 1) Insan bazı şeylerden ders almalı. 2) Neyseki bu sefer kanca fikrim işe yaradı. Yoksa valla bi daha kadının kapsına gidemezdim. Valla...

Neyse gelişme var. :)

 

 

 

The Things I Saw Took My Breath Away

Cause I'm Happyyy

Happiness is a habit – cultivate it.” ~ Elbert Hubbard

Happiness is one aspiration all people share. No one wants to be sad and depressed.

We’ve all seen people who are always happy – even amidst agonizing life trials. I’m not saying happy people don’t feel grief, sorrow or sadness; they just don’t let it overtake their life. The following are 21 things happy people make a habit of doing:

1. Appreciate Life
Be thankful that you woke up alive each morning. Develop a childlike sense of wonder towards life. Focus on the beauty of every living thing. Make the most of each day. Don’t take anything for granted. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

2. Choose Friends Wisely
Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values and goals. Friends that have the same ethics as you will encourage you to achieve your dreams. They help you to feel good about yourself. They are there to lend a helping hand when needed.

3. Be Considerate
Accept others for who they are as well as where they are in life. Respect them for who they are. Touch them with a kind and generous spirit. Help when you are able, without trying to change the other person. Try to brighten the day of everyone you come into contact with.

4. Learn Continuously
Keep up to date with the latest news regarding your career and hobbies. Try new and daring things that has sparked your interest – such as dancing, skiing, surfing or sky-diving.

5. Creative Problem Solving
Don’t wallow in self-pity. As soon as you face a challenge get busy finding a solution. Don’t let the set backs affect your mood, instead see each new obstacle you face as an opportunity to make a positive change. Learn to trust your gut instincts – it’s almost always right.

6. Do What They Love
Some statistics show that 80% of people dislike their jobs! No wonder there’s so many unhappy people running around. We spend a great deal of our life working. Choose a career that you enjoy – the extra money of a job you detest isn’t worth it. Make time to enjoy your hobbies and pursue special interests.

7. Enjoy Life
Take the time to see the beauty around you. There’s more to life than work. Take time to smell the roses, watch a sunset or sunrise with a loved one, take a walk along the seashore, hike in the woods etc. Learn to live in the present moment and cherish it. Don’t live in the past or the future.

8. Laugh
Don’t take yourself – or life to seriously. You can find humor in just about any situation. Laugh at yourself – no one’s perfect. When appropriate laugh and make light of the circumstances. (Naturally there are times that you should be serious as it would be improper to laugh.)

9. Forgive
Holding a grudge will hurt no one but you. Forgive others for your own peace of mind. When you make a mistake – own up to it – learn from it – and FORGIVE yourself.

10. Gratitude
Develop an attitude of gratitude. Count your blessings; All of them – even the things that seem trivial. Be grateful for your home, your work and most importantly your family and friends. Take the time to tell them that you are happy they are in your life.

11. Invest in Relationships
Always make sure your loved ones know you love them even in times of conflict. Nurture and grow your relationships with your family and friends by making the time to spend with them. Don’t break your promises to them. Be supportive.

12. Keep Their Word
Honesty is the best policy. Every action and decision you make should be based on honesty. Be honest with yourself and with your loved ones.

13. Meditate
Meditation gives your very active brain a rest. When it’s rested you will have more energy and function at a higher level. Types of meditation include yoga, hypnosis, relaxation tapes, affirmations, visualization or just sitting in complete silence. Find something you enjoy and make the time to practice daily.

14. Mind Their Own Business
Concentrate on creating your life the way you want it. Take care of you and your family. Don’t get overly concerned with what other people are doing or saying. Don’t get caught up with gossip or name calling. Don’t judge. Everyone has a right to live their own life the way they want to – including you.

15. Optimism
See the glass as half full. Find the positive side of any given situation. It’s there – even though it may be hard to find. Know that everything happens for a reason, even though you may never know what the reason is. Steer clear of negative thoughts. If a negative thought creeps in – replace it with a positive thought.

16. Love Unconditionally
Accept others for who they are. You don’t put limitations on your love. Even though you may not always like the actions of your loved ones – you continue to love them.

17. Persistence
Never give up. Face each new challenge with the attitude that it will bring you one step closer to your goal. You will never fail, as long as you never give up. Focus on what you want, learn the required skills, make a plan to succeed and take action. We are always happiest while pursuing something of value to us.

18. Be Proactive
Accept what can not be changed. Happy people don’t waste energy on circumstances beyond their control. Accept your limitations as a human being. Determine how you can take control by creating the outcome you desire – rather than waiting to respond.

19. Self Care
Take care of your mind, body and health. Get regular medical check ups. Eat healthy and work out. Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water. Exercise your mind by continually energizing it with interesting and exciting challenges.

20. Self Confidence
Don’t try to be someone that you’re not. After all no one likes a phony. Determine who you are in the inside – your own personal likes and dislikes. Be confident in who you are. Do the best you can and don’t second guess yourself.

21. Take Responsibility
Happy people know and understand that they are 100% responsible for their life. They take responsibility for their moods, attitude, thoughts, feelings, actions and words. They are the first to admit when they’ve made a mistake.
Begin today by taking responsibility for your happiness. Work on developing these habits as you own. The more you incorporate the above habits into your daily lifestyle – the happier you will be.

Most of all: BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
