new home!

Dear friends I really appreciate your efforts to hold me inside the blog-circle. But Pfizer circle has got me already badly. I work at least 10 hours a-day and later I unfortunately lack any motivation to sit one more second in front of the screen for any reason.
Now, reviewing my calendar, I try to recall last 2 months.
At the end of April, we have met with Dimitri. (He is not a Greek, but “Rum” from Istanbul. We have been dating. Actually he is one the 1,200 people causing all of these Turk-Rum political dilemmas. I am discovering the dynamics of Rum society living at İstanbul. Togather we enjoy a lot. This a relationship free of future commitments, because from his point of statu, it is impossible to carry our relationship forward. We live th day!
At the beginning of May, I have visited my doc at Ankara fot my regular glaucoma checks. The results of this visit has caused a short-run anxiety. The young assistant (who is a fresh specialist at the momentJ ) of my professor noticed that I had high-eye-tension (glaucoma). It assigned me regular hospital visits 2 times a day for 3 days long. I was worried, but luckily it is found out to be below the standard limits. However, I once more extracted a good event from this 2 days anxiety. I have made an eye-specialist doc friend. Now I am looking for a job for him in Istanbul. It will be nice to have close eye specialist around me.
At the end of May, I have joined 10th year reunion of BAL (high school) at Cesme. It was a nice holiday recalling all the childhood memories. Emrah, let Sevi hear this J
With June, my business travels started. I have attended the year beginning meeting of Pfizer with all of his employees at Antalya (almost 1,000 employees from all over Turkey). Then, we went to Bodrum (not for holiday but to work!). We -three colleagues- organized a one-week meeting for 140 members of marketing and sales. This was my first big activity at Pfizer. It was really tiring and stressful. I have not even swum more than 30 minutes in a week. Moreover, I had cold badly.
Now, I am at the office and it is regular reporting week. I do not have any time even to design my new home. I will be moving in a week. Next time you are in Istanbul, I will be having you in my new house at Etiler. I am really excited about it.
Lastly, I have to mention that I have been at the concert of Emig Igus and Vedat Sakman. Emrah, Emin started his concert with “Dut Agaci”. Last night I have once more decided that I love compositions of Vedat Sakman sung by Zuhal Olcay. They are really nice when Vedat plays and Zuhal sings them. So this my brief about last 2 months. In July, I will be around in İstanbul. I have postponed all of my holiday plans. After buying a house, I am broke and have to save money to fill in it.
So you are all invited to my home. (At the entrance of Etiler on the right hand side, very close to Dunya Goz Hastanesi: Nispetiye Cd. Peker Sk. Derya Apt. No:12)
