i love being in another medium than air

i can't believe it's June already! it is I-ficcially summer! i want to swim and colleagues say i should go to walden pond which is 20 minutes away but being from the meditterranean, i can't make myself swim in a pod. i have to wait until i return home. : (

here are two pix i took last september in gumusluk in the city of mugla in southwestern turkiye. you can see the beautiful shore and sea and typical architecture around the village of gumusluk in the city of mugla in southwestern turkiye. you can see the mosque in the upper right as well as a fish restraurant right on the shore on the right. ohhh. i almost was going to make this pic my desktop now, but i decided not to because seeing places in complete contrast to where i am right now makes me depressed. we were looking at pix of trinidad the other day and i could not go on after 5 minutes because i'm ashamed to say that i felt like bombing somewhere. too animalistic but i can't help it!

today also means the first month anniversary of my locking hair. i still have the black rubber bands in and i am planning to take them of after 2 months, and if i can be patient enough at the 3-month mark.. the interesting thing is that my hair is locking around the rubber band in each of the sections and that is great because if i can have the root lock and the rest will lock by itself without the root carrying the risk of untangling or meshing with the next lock. so the progress so far other than the roots around the rubber band locking is 4-5 of the sections have locked at the end. however, most are not locked at all except the root. like i said before, i am washing every 2-3 days without conditioning and spraying with a rosemary-teatree oil and water mixture every morning and evening. the spray makes my hair smell nice and think it makes it grow faster too.

click to see a presentation which gives you really interesting fun facts about turkiye. in case you haven't noticed i'm in love with my country because of it's history, nature, people, food etc. this presentation includes many aspects of it. it may take a minute to start, but if you ask my opinion! it is worth the wait.
