Can you guess this story's name?

One fine evening a young princess put on her bonnet and clogs, and went out to take a walk by herself in a wood; and when she came to a cool spring of water with a rose in the middle of it, she sat herself down to rest a while. Now she had a golden ball in her hand, which was her favourite plaything; and she was always tossing it up into the air, and catching it again as it fell. After a time she threw it up so high that she missed catching it as it fell; and the ball bounded away, and rolled along on the ground, until at last it fell down into the spring. The princess looked into the spring after her ball, but it was very deep, so deep that she could not see the bottom of it. She began to cry, and said, 'Alas! if I could only get my ball again, I would give all my fine clothes and jewels, and everything that I have in the world.' ....

God with Indonesia

To my lovely Indonesian friend, Evy



Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want moreI don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Hello

Dear colleagues,

Hello, how are you? I hope you had a good break with your friends or family. So, here we go again! It’s that time of year when most of us are going to start a new term, with new classes and there’s a real ‘back to school’ feeling in the air! I’ve already started, wish you luck. Hope, your new education year will be fantastic...

Take care

Siyah Yıldızlar

Dudaktan Kalbe,

Aşkı için ölünceye kadar kendini karanlığa mahkum eden bir çobanın hikayesi;

"Zalim padişahın kızına aşık olur çoban. Padişah öğrenir, çobanı yakalatır. Hangi kızına gönül verdiğini sorar ona, çoban söylemez, günlerce uğraşır söyletemez... Padişah çok kızar, çobana bir oyun hazırlar. Bütün kızlarını önünden geçirecektir, çoban nasıl olsa içlerinden birini görüp heyecanlanacaktır. Nabzı hızlanacak, kalbi gümbür gümbür atacaktır nasıl olsa. böylelikle ilk önce kızının canına kıyarak cezalandıracaktır çobanı... Padişah tek tek kızlarını geçirir çobanın önünden. Çobanın dünya güzeli aşkı da geçer karşısına ama çobanın nabzında en ufak bir değişiklik yoktur. Çünkü sevdiğini görüp heyecanlanmasın diye, sevdiğinin siyah yıldızlar dediği gözlerini kör etmiştir."

Michael Jackson

I grew up listening to his songs, watching his dance. I hope, your songs will live in our generation.. You will be remembered through your music forever. Rest in peace...

The Way You Make Me Feel, Bad, Just Good Friends, Man in the Mirror, Leave Me Alone 1980 lerde okulda, bisiklette, bahçede, arkadaşlarla her yerde şarkılarını dinlediğimiz Michael bizim için en iyi yabancı şarkıcıydı. İngilizce ders olarak o zamanlar sadece ortaokullarda vardı. Biz onun kasetlerini alıp, şarkılarını ezberliyorduk. Bir yaz hiç unutmam! yer İstanbul, Leventle bahçede Michael’ın dans hareketlerini bile yapıyorduk. O zamanlar walkman kullanıyorduk, onu dinlemek çok zevkliydi. Toprağın bol olsun Michael…

Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better world for our children and our children's children. So that they know it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place.

There's a place in your heart

And I know that it is love

And this place could be much

Brighter than tomorrow.

And if you really try

You'll find there's no need to cry In this place you'll feel

There's no hurt or sorrow.

There are ways to get there If you care enough for the living

Make a little space, make a better place.

Chorus: Heal the world Make it a better place

For you and for me and the entire human race

There are people dying If you care enough for the living

Make a better place for You and for me.

If you want to know why There's a love that cannot lie

Love is strong It only cares for joyful giving.

If we try we shall see In this bliss we cannot feel Fear or dread

We stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always

Love's enough for us growing

Make a better world, make a better world.

Chorus: Heal the world

Make it a better place

For you and for me and the entire human race.

There are people dying

If you care enough for the living

Make a better place for You and for me.

Bridge: And the dream we would conceived in

Will reveal a joyful face And the world we once believed in

Will shine again in grace Then why do we keep strangling life

Wound this earth, crucify it's soul Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly Be God's glow. We could fly so high

Let our spirits never die

In my heart I feel You are all my brothers

Create a world with no fear

Together we'll cry happy tears

See the nations turn

Their swords into plowshares

We could really get there

If you cared enough for the living

Make a little space to make a better place.

Chorus: Heal the world

Make it a better place

For you and for me and the entire human race

There are people dying If you care enough for the living

Make a better place for

You and for me.

There are people dying if you care enough for the living

Make a better place for you and for me.

There are people dying if you care enough for the living

Make a better place for you and for me.

Michael Jackson - Heal The World

Benim için hiçbir zaman siyah doğup beyaz ölmedin!. Bizim için her renk sende vardı! 1990’lara kadar şarkılarını zevkle söylediğimiz Amerikalı bir dans ustası oldun. Senden sonra o üstün sahne performansını sergileyebilecek yeni bir pop kralının dünyaya gelebileceğine pek inanmıyorum.

A Fly

A hungry boy asked for a meal in a restaurant. The waiter brought the soup and put it on the table. After a moment, the hungry boy called the waiter again and said:
"Waiter! Waiter! There's a fly in my soup!"
"Please don't speak so loudly, sir," said the waiter, "or everyone will want one."
