ALANYA!

So, we are now home from Alanya, after a 2-day road trip.. The plan was to go to Izmir, BUT we found out that we were only fooling ourselves by thinking we would actually go to IZMIR when we have rented a car for 2 days, so we decided to go to Alanya (surprise surprise)... It's about 6 hours drive, and we stopped along the way for some food. I was so excited, words can not describe the feeling I had, it's just, amazing. When we got as far as to Konakli, my butterflies were so wild that all I wanted to do was jump up and down and scream from happiness. Then my favorite moment came:
When I saw the castle light up in the dark. In that moment I felt so home, I KNEW I was home, and I couldn't stop smiling. I was simply just... happy!  We took a little cruise around Alanya sentrum, and decided to stay one night in Temiz otel. The moment I stepped out of the car in front of James Dean, I had to pinch myself to make sure I was not dreaming. Actually now that I am home again I am not sure that I was not dreaming !!   We hurried up to Temiz otel, checked in (and payed 30 lira less than me and Ida did), and got our room next to the one me and Ida had.. Words can not describe how much I missed her when I was in Alanya.. Seriously, both Halil and Servet Özkaya can both be my witness that Ida was about the only thing I talked about all night.. Me and Ida were here, me and Ida did this, me and Ida did that, I miss Ida, I wish Ida was here, Alanya is not the same without Ida.. I even sat in James Dean and made "Ida<3" and "Ida gel" with carrots. 


Halil is very strict about me going places alone in the dark, but he lets me be free in Alanya, not so bossy and stuff.. Cause I know Alanya so it's no problem. He went to the kebab place on the other side of Burger King (where me and Ida ate, by the way!) and I said "Just wait me here, I will go to a minibank and I'll come back".. I got to admit I was a little surprised when he said "Okei" with a smile. 


The first place we went to were Ali Baba, and had a couple of drinks there while we were listening to live music. I was the only girl at first, then some other came.. It was surprisingly many tourists this winter, I am there every winter and I have not seen as many tourists as I did now. 
Anyway, after that we went to James Dean. Mr.Fiance knows everybody so we got drinks very cheap, which was good for me since I am poor (although I managed to say to him we should pay full price since we were so rich)  We were not rich, he borrowed money from a friend of his so he could take me on a road trip. It was so nice to be in James Dean again, but of course, not the same without Ida. Then suddenly I see a strange hairstyle and I said to Halil that "I see Servet Özkaya!!" He did not believe me, but then he saw him too, and he went to get him so I could take picture of him:p  He remembers both me and Ida. It ended up with him being with us all night :)


And summer, winter.. Alanya is Alanya and it was not to escape that I would meet someone that remembers me, that I dont remember.. 2 times actually.. One time some guy came to talk to Halil, and he said "Hey Emine, how are you".. I am like.. eeeh.. I am fine, and you?   I have no idea who he was.  Then I had been to the toilet, and there were two guys sitting outside, one of them says "Emine! How are you, when did you come?"  ... If Ida was there she would die together with me, BUT I had to die alone. I get like terrified when people knows me and I don't know them!


Anyway, after that, we went to Robin, cause it was open too of course, since it was weekend. Me, Halil and Servet Özkaya. And something was hilarious for me.. I don't like Aykut.. I actually despise that half-retarded klepto dwarf and he was not nice to Ida so I have said he belongs in a toilet.. The funny part is that when I was going to toilet, he was working there taking money.. Finally a job in a place that is good for him.. I had to take picture with him so Ida could see that he has a shit (!) job now ;)


Well, Robin closed, and we didn't wanna stop drinking, so I went to marked ALONE, yes, alone! Not even one objection from my lovely fiance! I need to say, that this weekend has been so perfect, I cannot remember the last time I was this happy.. or actually I can, first day me and Ida came.. And when Halil asked me to marry him.. Its not exactly a big secret that we have been arguing a lot lately.. We have not been able to agree on anything, seriously.. And we also have figured out what the problem is.. Neither one of us is really happy in Marmaris.. We are bored, we have nothing to do, and we are not happy in this place. So we have talked about moving back to Alanya when I get my Ikamet, and come back here a week before my parents come, then stay until they leave.. We will then drive them to the airport, then continue to Alanya :))  Cause we are both so happy there. We didn't have ONE disagreement. I felt like my real self, and he was the Halil we met this summer.. Smiling, funny, joking.. We both agree that this weekend have been totally amazing for us, and probably the best we possibly could do for our relationship.. I am actually so happy now that it feels like my heart will explode. BUT, I mean that it WOULD be better if Ida was there too.


I don't remember when we went back to the hotel, I don't even remember THAT we went back. But I do remember that we woke up :p  Halil is always like this; Ooh no I was not drunk. I am so good drinker, I don't get hangovers. 
but he is not like that in Alanya.. He was drunk :P  And he said the next day when I said I had a hangover "Me too.. Or no, just my head hurts and it feels like I am gonna throw up".. I had to laugh a little and just;  Sweety, that's called a hangover :p


We went to TOSMUR, and ate breakfast.. But need I say that eggs and ham is not breakfast for my hangover days, I ate a little, but I decided on McDonalds food instead. Much better! ;)  We went cruzzing around Tosmur a little, I had to take pictures of everything from Tansas to where me and Ida lived, just for the memories. I could just see us walking on the street with our 6 pk Efes and Karpuz vodka.. Ahh, those were the days.
Of course we had to take a little right-turn to the one and only Auditorium, and I HAD to take pictures of the bus. It seems silly to take pictures of all of this stupid things like supermarkets and apartment buildings, but only Ida can understand why ;) 


Then we went to the castle.. There is no Alanya without a trip to the castle. And the view is so beautiful. I have a thousand memories from this place to, from 2010 and 2011 with Ida and various cars xD  My heart was seriously hurting when I was looking over the harbor, cause the thought of that we had to leave the same day was terrible seriously.. :(
I was also so happy cause I was FINALLY getting Sushi.. But no, no sushi !  Why? THEY ONLY HAVE IT IN SUMMER!!! :(


Well... So we left for Antalya, we decided to spend the night there instead of driving all the way to Marmaris. It was a nice drive, we were listening to music, singing, talking about going to Alanya again +++ ... We were smiling the whole time..  In Alanya he said I was different,.. I said why and I got  "You are so happy"... And it's true, I was.. And so was he, I don't even understand why we are in Marmaris when both of us are so much more happy in Alanya. I mean, it's also better for our relationship to be a place we are happy.. If I am unhappy and he is unhappy, how can we be happy? I am bored here, so like I said, we will see what we can do.. We are anyway going back to Alanya in the end of next month:)


We arrived Antalya, and decided to just go find a hotel. And so we did. Where? The one we stayed at when I first came, the one he asked me to marry him in. I was hoping we would get the same room, but it was taken, so we got the one next to it. It was NICE, and it had a shower, the last time we were there we did not have. And it was wonderful to shower in warm water in a shower that it is actually room enough to MOVE.. Our shower at home is so small that it's hard to even fit in it.


Anyway, we went to sleep very early cause we were both deadly tired from partying until morning and waking up early, with a fantastic bad hangover on top of it all. 


We went for Marmaris around 5 this morning so I am pretty much dead right now. I don't have so much to write about that trip, other than I have made this years first and last snowball :D I didn't think I would be so happy to touch snow but I was.. And yea, we got ticket for 226 TL for speeding.. So fun, and we don't have any money...




Now about Norway I am actually a little stressed about something.. My dad told me he would look at my bills, I asked him if he could pay them for me and I could pay back, he has not said anything more so I hope to God that means he payed them.. Cause he didn't give me an amount or anything, and I don't wanna fall back into my old patterns with not paying bills and all... 


Anyway, this girl is sleeping now.. Good night world :)
