B-day Party in Santiago

So I told you about my birthday party in Dikili, but that was far from it!  We had a second one in Santiago!  I prepared a lot for it.  Before the guests came, I was rehearsing...

Then they started coming slowly...  First Feni. Cute as a button.  Accompanied by Aica.

Then Valentina.  I tell you, this one is a natural born leader.  She knows the coolest games!

Then came Trini, with her puppy eyes...  How can the parents say no to anything she asks for?

Last but not least...  tan ta ra taaaaaaannnn, Oli!  Oli serious...

Oli smiling...  hahah.

Other guests of honor included Daniel Dede

And Bebek!

Soon after they arrived, came the most expected event of the year!  The cake!  See, I am pointing at it!  There it is!

Valen and Oli were nice enough to help me blow ALL the candles!

I was happy they helped!

But I wanted more, so Papa turned them on again.

With cake time over, we played like crazy with a bubble gun!  Oli was a pro!  Just look at her!

I gave it a shot too, I could get them out, but they were not as round as Oli's.

Trini tried too.  Same as me, more or less.

And Valen...

Feni on the other hand was not so into it.

We all got very tired.  Some of us had to run to our mom's arms because we were beat!

I ended up happy, but also a bit sad, hence my mixed emotions face.  I have to wait an entire year for this to happen again!

Driving in Dikili

Yes!  Started driving around...  and around...  and around...

Honestly, not sure what the whole fuzz is about, except that you need to be very concentrated!

When I misbehave...

... right before am about to get yelled at...  this is my go to face...

Believe me, it works!

A T Shirt With History

Papa has this T Shirt that tells our story.  I mean, when we met, I did not know shit from shinola.  I was helpless.  Papa would do anything he wanted with me.  I, simply, subdued.  Look at us back then, me so naive, and Papa with his mischievous grin (although he looks tired too, as if he had not been sleeping well those days, oh well...)  As Sting would sing 

"I'll be, wrapped around your finger"

Time passed by and I started changing.  I would become more dominant, and at some point, Papa and I were head to head driving things around.  The difference is that I was going up, he was going down...  all without even changing his T shirt.

Now?  Well, the picture says everything.  The T shirt has not changed, the power?  Who's naive now?

Bringing Sting once more, that same song moves on to say

"When you find your servant, is your master

You'll be, wrapped around my finger"

The Perfect Birthday Party

The other day I was thinking,

What would the perfect birthday party have?  Here's what I came up with.  First, Anne and Papa need to be there, hugging me, and doing Kayra toasts...

 

Other people are important too.  I need Abla there, as close as possible.

And Idil...

And Abi, duh...

And hot guys...

One key element, of course, is a big ass, star shaped, super creamy cake!

But most important of all, OF ALL, a HUUUUUUGGEEEE family to celebrate it with!

 Thank you Celenks!  It was the best birthday party one can hope for!

Hangin' Out with Two HOTTIES!!!

While in Istanbul I made some time apart for my 2 favourite, non family Turks: Doruk and Ege.  There is no question Doruk will be a TV star.  I liked to just sit and watch.

Ege's hotness comes from the fact that he is a real badass...  He rides motorbikes, and what's hotter than that?  A tattoo would help...  he'll get one, he told me.  We went out for a ride.  I am not that cool, so I took a car.

But Cutie McCutie did not quit on me.  He taught me how to ride a four runner!  Still not a bike, but closer.

Later at night, we invented this super cool game...  It's called Leggings...  Check the vid!

Long Live Bebekkkkk

Remember?  Time does not pass by for bebekkk

Look at her now, all grown up and in a pyjama party with us girls!
