Fun Lilliy Learning Turkish!


In an attempt to learn a new language and inspired by my recent trip to Istanbul Turkey.. I have decided to learn Turkish.. It suddenly made sense to me to learn this language.. I am a descendant originally from Uzbek origin and never been taught by my parents to speak Uzbek, they were worried that it would confuse me I was already learning Arabic and English at the same time.. so they thought learning a third language would be hard on us.. I still remember my late grandfather who was always proud of our origin talking to us only in Uzbek every time we visited him and when ever I say I don’t understand he would turn to my father and scold him and tell him that it was his fault that we don’t speak Uzbek.. ever since I visited Istanbul in Eid and listening to the Turks with the sounds and the words that are very familiar to me.. and since Turkish is the sibling language of Uzbek.. I found that I have more access to Turkish teaching books.. Cds.. and sites which will help me.. I made my decision I will learn Turkish! so here goes.. my first word..
Merhaba! merhaba = Hello!

Coming soon ..the photos that I took in Istanbul! its a very old city.. full of history.. I was really enchanted and romanced by Istanbul...

Jessica Simpson - Come On Over [Official Music Video]

I think finally she is on the right track to what kind of songs she should be singing.. even though with all the criticism she receives.. looking into all the women that are falling on there faces in her circle of profession she struggled to put her life together without going over board.. till this.. she is giving in to her original roots.. the girl from Dallas Texas.. I grew up listening to country music it started with my moms passion for their songs when we lived in Texas and continued later on even when we moved away from there.. I still love cowgirl hats and cowgirl boots.. I lived there at a time where they still were walking around wearing them. The best outfit to me that I find is still sexy and stylish is a pair of jeans crisp white shirt and a studded belt.. it always comes and goes.. Never really goes out of style.. Enjoy the song..

The Sunday Paper... miss it..



OK, so one of the things that I miss when I was living in North America is the Sunday paper.. you get a huge stack of papers.. its the best thing I just love waking up walking around in my PJ's and a big cup of coffee and sitting reading the paper.. in the US its usually $1.99 for 15 sections plus a Magazine.. one of my favorites is The New York Times in New York my favorite city in the world.. my second favorite city now is becoming Dubai.. the paper is the best thing to lazying around all day or if its nice and sunny to take it to the park or to a nice outdoor cafe ( that's usually for a Sat ) I miss those small pleasurable rituals.. and when you are busy and cant read it all in one day it lasts you the whole week.. it has loads of reading from the important news in the week to travel and style.. so that what I ve done one of the first things I bough at the shop when I got to Chicago is buy the Sunday paper The Chicago Tribune because I am busy it is lasting me the whole week almost.. I love the TV guide in it as well I can plan my breaks.
The above picture was taken from The Chicago Tribune The Sawmp section The Article with a video of the editor of The New Yorker talking about this cover which has been talked about a lot in the media and the news this is the article link:
