Challenge – Day 8/30

I know I haven’t posted for quote a few days, but trust me I’ve been very busy this weekend and I will post about my weekend later but now I’m gonna do the Day 8 of my challenge.

So here goes…

I have to write about a country I have visited and I’m gonna write about Turkey which is the most gorgeous country I have visited up until now. I will post pictures, but I will dedicate a new post for it 🙂

Turkey is a beautiful country situated on two continents; Asia and Europe and we visited the European side and stayed in Sultanahmet, where all the major museums and mosques are located. We did go to the Asian side, but just through a cruise on the Bosphorous and I was really excited about it coz I was like “I’m in two continents at once!” LOL.

Anyways, Istanbul is mind blowing! It’s such an historical place and it makes you feel like you are part of that place. I remeber the early morning and evening walks along the Aya Sofya, Blue Mosque and Topkapi palace. Everything about that place is memorable, the street vendors, the smell of Doner kebabs, the Dondurma icecream (Its one of yummiest ice-creams i’ve ever eaten!), the stone cobbled streets (They remind of Rome or some place like that) and ofcourse, the people.

I loved my experience in Turkey and I would visit that place again whenever I get the chance too.

Challenge – Day 5/30

Songs that inspire me
 
I was supposed to write about 1 song that inspired me, but since I have so many of them, I decided to write about my top 5:
 
1. The climb by Miley Cyrus- this is  my most motivational song till date. The lyrics are amazing and I feel like everybody goes through the ‘uphill battle’ at one time in your life and this song is a perfect motivation at that time.

2. Promise by Vanessa Hudgens- this song taught me to be free. It taught me that you have to trust yourself first before anyone else and that when you make a decision it’s purely your decision not anybody else’s. It taught me that we have to keep trying no matter how hard it may seem or no matter how many ever times we fall coz, ‘What doesn’t kill you can, make you strong’.

3. Who Says by Selena Gomez- this is such a cute song and it has taught me that people may never think that I’m perfect but I have to believe that I am perfect and that it doesn’t matter what other people think.

4. Fly by Nicki Minaj- I love Nicki. I love all of her songs and I think she may be a really good person too. This song was another one of Nicki’s amazing songs from Pink Friday and it has  inspired me to learn that we all were born with a purpose to win, but it’s we who decide whether we are okay with losing or whether we want to ‘Win’.

5. Pursuit of happiness by KiD CuDi- this song is amazing in all ways possible. It has amazing lyrics, an amazing flow and really good background music. This song taught me that the definition of happiness may not be the same for everyone, but you have to go and find that thing that makes you happy even if people may think it isn’t right because at the end of the day, it’s your life and you are going to be living it not someone else.
 
 

 

Challenge – Day 2/30

The second day of the challenge asks me to write down nicknames of myself…hmm…well over the years my nicknames have changed a lot but there are few that got stuck :p

1. Chicori- that’s what my dad calls me at times and I have absolutely no idea why but it sounds good right? :p
2. Babooo- thats my last name but my BFF says it describes me perfectly :p it sounds like someone who is spontaneously crazy yet loving :p
3. Bum- majority of my good friends call me that since I am a pain in the bum :p
4. Princess- this is my nickname for myself :p after all every girl should be treated like princess right? 😀
