"Let your hair down...You're gonna find yourself somewhere..somehow" Corienne Bailey Rae

The year is 2011, and for me it's officially time for a change. Having just transferred to the new and strange world of public school...trying to keep up with this and that without getting in over my head, I realized my priorities weren't lined up properly. I was stressed. My subconcious realized this, but I refused to surrender. Then cotton white snow fell from the sky...heavensent. The city was forced along with me to raise the white flag. Everything closed. I don't think I've ever spent that much time nonstop with my family I thought shamefully. During these nights, tears were shed and repentence was a god-given gift. As days moved on, I gave myself a much needed break-I've never felt so great in my life! And after all was said and done I realized what my primary goal in life is: to love. First and formost love of Allah, Second love of Family& Friends, and Third love of self. Once I attain love, happiness and success will fall right into place. In the words of Coriene, I needed to "let your hair down".

No Smoking!!!!!

I REALLY miss America`s no smoke policy, even though it is limited to public places. EVERYONE it seems, smokes here!!!!!!!! Ughhh!! I really can`t take it much longer!!! (I hope I don`t get asthma or lung cancer by just being here) -that`s probably a farfetched possibility :-)

Ayub Sultan

I recently vısıted the masjıd and grave of Ayub Sultan, companion and host of the beloved Prophet Muhammed (SAW). The site was obviously one of great prominence for tourists as well as the Turkish natives. Crowds of people swarmed everywhere, prayers were whispered, children played, newlyweds smiled, while tourists were endlessly snapped photos. The masjid was very unique. There had been an older masjid in its place, but when Mehmed the conqueror found it, it was in ruins. He then built the current one in its place. The masjid has a courtyard with a huge old beautiful tree where Mehmed used to give his inaugaration speech. There is a speacial room that houses the tomb of Ayub. Many people crowd into the small space to say prayers for the famous Sahabah. There are two musallah one for the men and the other for women. The women also, however, have a second musallah upstairs that overlooks people below-like a bridge. Behind the masjid the is graveyard nestled in a steep hillside that leads to the famous Pierre Lotte. The hill is a STEEP climb and many people opt to use a speacial cable car. But walking truly has its rewards. There is great view and the tempeature is just right. The graves around you give the air a sense of tranquility. At the Pierre Lotte cafe you can reward your hard work by eating a deliciously cold ice cream along with thirst quenching water---YUM!!!

Beware of Turkish Drivers!!
