November's For Love, But Everything's Better in December

Like many, Christmas is my favorite time, I love everything to do with winter actually, maybe it's because I'm a snow-baby, my birthday is in January.

November may be sweet but December is all about Christmas and snow and lights and decorations! Here in Turkey the decorations come out closer to New Year's, I can't wait for all the malls come alive with Christmas lights.

This is Vakko's famous store in Istanbul, a very famous and prestigious Turkish brand. They are also known for their Christmas decorations. Some say there is also a machine they puffs out fake snow every now and then, but none of us really saw it happen, but the idea is still very cool.  Oh and for bigger effect, I should mentions this: It hasn't snowed in Istanbul, yet....


I don't have many posts for Christmas, decorations and settings this year but themed-songs and such don't change that much over the years, so I'm just going to refer you to my previous posts on the subject. Just search Christmas tagged posts or click here.

Post below was my opening of the season two years ago, thought it was appropriate for a repost.

New Girl : Simply Adorkable

I know I'm a little late to 'promote' the 'new' series New Girl, so I'm just gonna dive in and highlight my favorite parts, and even then this post will not be sufficient enough tribute for this show.

You know how sad we were when Friends ended and there were no other shows that could catch up to it? Well I think New Girl might be the thing.

Bye Bye Ponds...

It's really been a shock how Amy and Rory left the series, I always thought Doctor would leave them alone to let them have their own lives, but to have them actually die was a Moff-fucked move.

Rest have a bit of SPOILERs, so click Read More for more ;)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

This Christmas will be an even more special one than the others. The Lord of the Rings fans are going wild because the 'prequel' The Hobbit is finally hitting the big screen. Judging by the trailers, this is going to be one goose bump inducing experience. As one of the people who was introduced (of course by my brother) to the Middle Earth with The Hobbit, I am extra excited. But I must admit I forgot about the details of the book as I read it when I was 11, almost 12 years ago. I am looking forward to change that in the following 6 days because only a week later, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is here for our consideration. I have been in this strange mood to watch the trilogy again for the last couple of weeks, I even started wearing my Evenstar pendant unaware of the actual release date. I guess my body is more aware of my Elvish side than my brain...

Long Time, No Me

Oookay.... Anybody left there?.. It's been a while no?... Anyway I'm back, it is Christmas time. It's not a secret it's my favorite time in the year. Keep your eyes here and prepare for the things to come.

I just want to add something here. This blog is my personal preference blog, that means I do not promote things here, I merely use this place as an outlet for the things I love and am passionate about. You won't see things that are very hip but boring here and NEVER Justin Bieber (I'm strongly anti-Bieber these days.)

Anyway, tune in and see ya..

Merry Christmas Amy

Ok so I can't ignore that tomorrow is the Christmas Day. Probably not because of the reasons you are thinking....but maybe it is?.... Anyway stopping with the mind games, tomorrow is Doctor Who day!

It does look it's going to be awesome and it itself claims that it's the "Best. Christmas. Ever.", but it may be hard to top last year's Christmas Special, 'A Christmas Carol'. That was truly awesome... But again, Doctor who Christmas Speacials tend to be special.(pun fully intended.) Plus with this one, I'm pretty curious about the Narnia reference

 I do like the prequel though, so if any of you missed the prequel or the trailer, hurry up 'cause tomorrow is the big day.

*whispers* Merry Christmas Amy...

Blue Christmas

Hi there everyone,

I feel like a very blue Christmas this year. All the exams and projects and homeworks and life sucked away my Christmas spirit. But I still have my tree, that is one thing I cannot compromise. (Well, actually two things. We have one tree at home with my brother and another tiny one at my dorm with my roommates.)

This Christmas Eve, at home, we ate Chinese food while watching Love Actually. I think we did good, no?

So..
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
Now go hug someone you love, I have a lonely night of marketing projects, old episodes of Bones and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ahead... ;)

Assassins of Turkey

Hey,

Is there any Assassins among you? If you don't know what I'm talking about or if you know and do not play Assassin's Creed, why not?

Assassin's Creed: Revelations just came out last week and believe me when I say it; It. Is. Awesome! And I'm not just biased because the story is in Istanbul aka Constantinople! Well maybe a little :)
