Merhaba 2015

Merhaba!!! Just came back from Turkey, another dream came true. I have longed for the trip for a few years. How it happened is totally not as planned. It’s not supposed to happen last December. It’s supposed to be in the mid of 2015, yet... the unplanned had happened.

Mom was in a hurry to visit all the places that she and dad could visit because she told me that she’s worried that Dad’s leg may not be in their best to do it next year or next next year. Let’s just hope that’s not true. However, the fact is that the age starting to steal from them. I am upset, but during the trip I was reminded again on how simple their life has been and how simple things are for them. Somehow, that’s beautiful.

The first sunrise in Istanbul had given me a very good first impression of the country. Haven’t really seen that after the Philippine trip in 2012. The best is that Dad and Mom were so excited to experience, to see and to touch their first snow in life. I am happy for them. We rode the bus from one city to another (Istanbul, Canakkale, Bergama, Konya, Kusadasi, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ankara), along the way the landscape and the view were just stunning!!! The long ride allowed me to think a lot, gave me time to write too. As the trip has ended, here is what left. It describes all about Turkey that I saw and about me.

Sitting and looking out
The trees are graying and drying out
The grass is small yet standing strong
The girl just wants to be out

Sitting and looking out
The mountain is tall and love by Goddess and God
The sea is white, blue and dark
The girl just wants to be out

Sitting and looking out
The sky is silvery blue with hanging white cloud
The seagulls fly with the wings spread out
The girl just wants to be out


Sitting and looking out
World is big and crowded
The dreams grow and sound loud
The girl just wants to be out


Sitting and looking out
The wind blows the mind out
The future demands strongest scout
The girl just wants to be out
