ULUDAG MOUNTAIN TRIP VIA BOSCH

Everyone want to go Uludag because it is so popular mountain and proverbial. I haven't been in there before so my friends were asking me ''why didn't you go there before?'' I wasn't know why. When I started job at Bosch my life is changing by Bosch because its has many social activities for its all of workers. I have never seen which factories give these opportunities... Absolutely amazing and so helpful. Approximately three weeks ago in Bosch, I saw an announcement that was about trip in Uludag. I was so happy because it could be good trip for me so I have sent an e-mail to a person who was prepearing this organization for get information about trip. Two hours later answer has arrived me and day of trip was so good for me so I did registration also I am bring a friend with me so it was amazing news! Well, after that day I was looking a friend who comes with me so I shared an article that was about friend advertisement... It was so funny but what can I do...? I was waiting an answer from a girl but she didn't back me so it was so terrible but don't care.After that time, I found a friend who is my first and cool foreigner friend his name is Selim and he came from Algeria to Bursa for studying Mba of automotive. We have met before but through Bosch we met again for Uludag trip. December 29 that time came and we prepared ourselves to go cold place is Uludag! Also It has been our first trip in Uludag so we were really lucky. Busses would be done departure from factory and in there had total 3 bus. I thought ''many people will come'' And that was true! We went Uludag approximately with one hundred sixty-for or five people. So our trip started at 8:30am and we arrived Uludag mountain between in 1 or 1.5 hours. I can say weather was so cold! But amazing environment! After arrived there, we started to hiking but hiking was so hard and profit was higher. We walked total 2 hours and it was so hard and tiresome even in 2 hours I was thinking like can I live? Lol :=) Like I said, this trip was my first time to go Uludag and I didn't know there as well. After hiking, we had food time! The food was sausage between bread! I loved it because this food is so popular in Uludag mountain. So everyhing was ok and saw my colleagues in there also took many photos! In addition, this trip was hard but got so beutiful oxygen! Thanks!

 

BOSCH PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB

Everyone have hobbies and these things are so useful so my first hobby club that is called Photography Club of Bosch company. As first I have started a new job at Bosch and you know it but first day I have seen a advertisement it is about photographer training and I said myself  ''I should go there'' After seen that I have sent an e-mail to a person who was getting registration of training but she asked me what is your personel number and I have thought like what should I say and I said '' Sorry I started as new and today is my first day also I didn't get my business card yet'' She said again '' Okay it doesn't problem, I got your registration''.  I have shocked and was so happy. First day of training course was not bad because I didn't know other people but next lessons all of things was awesome I mean, met new people and we had cool environment and chatting. Unfortunately that training course was just two weeks, three days in a week. Training course time was okay but tired because training was in my night shift work time and I was going to course and back home again and later go job again... I was so tired but I didn't care because I was so happy. When it finished we got certificate of participation from Bosch Hobby Club Trainer ''Zeynep Yıldız''

Also we had a big cake for celebration it. On the cake had Nikon camera machine photo and it was so funny but looks fantastic lol also our instructor cutted cake on the camera's lens... Poor camera :=) Like this.

And then what happend after course? Last week normally club had a trip on villages of Bursa but I didn't go because I had in overtime of work so today I went there with second group and it was amazing! I haven't been a long time in villages so today was more peaceful and motive to myself. Talked old people and we had fun with children also took their photos. Just I understood life is not always work! According to me these activities should be more because we need it!

Lastly I would like to thanks my all of friends! Particulary my instructor ''Veysel Kaya'' Bosch Photography Club president ''İbrahim Nazlı'' and Bosch Hobby Club Trainer ''Zeynep Yıldız'' I hope our photography club will more things for come together. Thanks!

NEW JOB AT BOSCH - 13 OCTOBER 2014

I think everyone know Bosch company because it is global company and more popular in the world also it is about automotive sector and home appliances. In Bursa has approximately 4 or 5 factory I don't remember now well but I can say Bosch is the best company in the Bursa. Its social opportunities, good salary and operating conditions are really amazing. Now I am writing this article about myself because I started to Bosch as ''manufacturing technician'' I have applied for job there but I was hopeless but last wednesday they called me and they wanted to meet me for speak again fourth time. Actually I didn't go there again because it was fourth time and factory was far away from my house so I called a taxi and I was paying more money... My family said me '' you have to go there again and don't give up!'' I said okay and went to there again but it was same again like '' we will call you later'' Alright and went to home immediately and didn't think this job again. After day so tomorrow they called me again and said '' We will accept you'' and I was shocked! I couldn't believe that but it was real and I was so happy and they wanted documents for start job in one day! I didn't have time and I took all of documents immediately and later went to Bosch for give files them. Today I started and in 2 days we will get orientation training it is about occupational safety, factory, rules, social facilities etc.. First of day finished and finally I am here but this is not enough because my aim is so wide environment and not like go job and back home... Not like this! I will look Bosch abroad opportunities, cultural exchanges and more things. Bad side of job is they did four month contrat but this is not just for me, this is for everyone and after 4 month I don't know what will happens. Also I explaing a little about operating system, I will manufacture injector system and work will be shift time ( I hate this system but what can I do...) Work hours total 8 hours but if you want to do overtime, you can get a little money without normal working hours. Bosch's foods are really amazing and so delicious also real quality plus healthy. So we will see what happen in the future with Bosch. I am sure I can get more skills and develop myself. All of details soon... :)

FIRST TIME IN ULUDAG WITH MY MOTHER, AUNT AND COUSIN

Since 1990 i am live in Bursa and i have never been in Uludag. So people asked me, why didn't go to Uludag? Actually i don't know why i didn't go there but i was saying me always i will go there i will go there but didn't go. But finally 3 days ago i was there! How? First of all, earlier this week i have got a phone from my uncle and he said me, we (he, aunt and cousin) will come to you for visit and see my mother but he warned me about come there because they would do surprise to my mother. I said okay and they that day got on bus and came next day at 8a.m. I got them from bus station and went to home. My mom saw my aunt and she was shocked by her sister.  She was so happy and still shocked. Their first day rested and that day's night we talked for tomorrow what can we do and i said, how about Uludag? My uncle didn't say ok but aunt and cousin said yes. So we have decided go to Uludag via teferrüç with mother,aunt and cousin. What is the tefferrüç? That means a cabin and people in this and going up to mountain. Well, finally that day came and we have prepared ourself to go. As first, we bought ticket total four person but i was student so i bought ticket as cheap but normal ticket is a little bit expensive. We were waiting a cabin for get in but many people were waiting also many arab people were there. It was definetely crowded so approximately we were waited total 20 minutes. Finally we got in box and started to go up but i scaried a litte bit because everywhere of cabin windows and you can see anywhere and it was too high from floor. In 12 minutes we have reached to Sarı alan in Uludag. It wasn't peak but it was too hight from floor. So what a fresh air and what a amazing environment. Everywhere is tree and awesome tourists. We have bought some food and found a location and sat down. We have talked, laughed and we breathe got fresh air. Also the weather was a little bir cold so it was good for us. Approximately at 5 o'clock we had to go back because we supposed to go Köfteci Yusuf food store which is in Kahraman and it was far away from here. Anyway we went back and came in Köfteci Yusuf that food store totally amazing and we ate meatball and then ekmek kadayıf dessert. Later we came back home. That day was completely cool and i was so tired...

LITTLE KOREA

When i first heard that name is LITTLE KOREA, i had thought ''what is that mean?'' One day i was looking my faceook page and i have seen two or three photos in Ismail who's facebook wall and he was painting. I had wondered and asked Ismail, What is that? Ismail told me, I was helping Jong for him new restaurant. Because This paint was interested and he explained that restaurant, They will make korean foods by Korean and it will be first time ever. It sounds was really great and loved it. Well, later i saw korean guy and i remembered  him because he had came to our English speaking club in Macquarie University English Language Centre and we had talked him and i think he had explained a food store. Approximately a months ago, i had out my uncle's store and was going to metro station. Around station, i have seen my friend who is my foreign friends is Thomas and him friends  went to near them and said hello, what are you doing here etc.. Some classic questions and talked few minutes later we had a plan but before we were thinking where do you go and Thomas said, we can go Little Korea... This was amazing idea and we said ok. Later we arrived that place and i have shocked because that place was music store before time. New design of place was incredible! Entered the place and said hello to guys who is in place. Sat and looked around, i was thougt that guy who will amazing place here! Before food, we saw Jong's supermotorbike and talked about it. He bought it very well price :) Finally we made order but i haven't known these food because i hadn't tried before. I have seen a photo in order book it was looks good but i don't remember name of food. In food had egg,rice,salad etc... The best important this, food was SPICY:) But it was absolutely amazing! I cannot explain you should try! Other friends, made order different foods and they have loved their foods. Later we have ate foods and then left. We had thank to Little Korea for their good hospitalty and amazing foods. I am sure i will go there again when i am free.

Big thanks to LITTLE KOREA!

VOLUNTEER

Volunteer that name is more helpful. Isn't it? Do you think people can be a volunteer or helpful? At the moment we need to be volunteer for support to seeking help people so we should do it! How did i start be volunteer? Well approximately six or seven months ago i was looking informations about volunteer programmes and i have tried a lot for find so i went to many associations for get evs (europen voluntary service) informations and i found some anyplaces which was giving informations about voluntary programmes and it was different so i mean it was sounds like good. They gave me some website links and told '' you have to check these websites and you will find what you are look'' Then i had went to home and as direction i sat my chair, opened my compter and started check websites. But it was very complicated so i hadn't understand anything and next day, i was still continuing check to websites again and i have found a association that is called Gönüllü Hareketi Association which is sending non-organization so i was looking a member who works in this association because i need to their help for evs programmes. Finally i found a member of this association and added later she accepted my friends request so i started to talk to her and i told my problem about evs to her and she said me ''when you are free, you can come to our association because we cannot explain on internet it can be long...''. One day i went to there but i was hopeless because i don't know actually it can be a little bit about trust problem but i was shocked because member of Gönüllü Hareketi Association was more helpful and always smiling! That was good things for me because i was supposed smile and i saw this from them. Anyway, we have talked about a lot of situation of evs and they explained their association things like what we do, why we are in here etc... Really i loved there! After that day i have joined them and always i was there but at the moment i am busy so i cannot go there always. Also i have joined their work group that is called entrepreneurship & career works group. This group was amazing because we went to some firms,business mans & womans and somewhere for introduce our work group and our association so it was fantastic! we got many informations and my brain was completely changed by association and work group. Let's go back to voluntary programmes, I am not too be social person because i was always be alone about my stutter problem. No one weren't talking,listening and meeting to me so it was really awful and this problem made me anti-social. Now i am twenty-six years old but sometimes i am thinking like why i did not be a social or be a volunteer... And what i learnt up to this time? Answer is: NOTHING. From now on, i want to be a social person and it is not late! Isn' it? So i would like to say, KEEP CALM & BE VOLUNTEER!

HARD TIMES...

Actually, where do i start write i don't know really. Since start of 2013 until now i feel like hopeless and upset because i am alone and no job. When i think back times it was really good times but now this like a hell... Everyday i am just thinking why people give me a oppurtunaty for job or something so i am just asking ''WHY?'' I discuss to my parents everyday  we are not happy at that times. I'm looking for new things for get energy and motivation because these things more important for me. When i go out, i see people and they look happy and their don't care nothing. When i see them, later i see myself and asking me what happened to me? Why am i hopeless and upset? Questions, questions... The big problem is loneliness for me. When i was a child i was alone to now. I have told you before i have a stutterer problem but some people  think this is not problem for other people. This problem is just can kill you for example you are in a meet or part when you start talk no one don't listen you and they are turning for speak  to other people. That time you just get shock and you can not anything. Anyway like i said i had told you before. Nowadays i am still contining my restless times and last sunday my restless the highest point reached. Since December 2013 i have joined a youth centre in Bursa. That place has changed me for example, social life, new friends, new projects about volunteer programmes, work groups etc... Last sunday i decided to left youth centre because this day was a problem and i could not resist later i left. I don't want to explaing why i left them because this is a little bit of special. When i left them as first i feel like upset,high-strung and crazy. Just asked me again ''WHY!'' Everything was going well but stupid things can finish your like things. I still don't believe for left. Anyway, what do i want you know people? Not much money, not a lot of girls, not super model cars etc.. I just want to be relax and peaceful.Is that possible? Some people say yes but other people no. Well just i want to know, why are we living? For what? For who? Can you watch television? I open television everyday and i am seeig war... Wars in everywhere! Dead children, no human rights, no peace... So why are we living...? I am 26 years old now and i don't understand this life. In my view we are be social and volunteer. Give support to everybody! For example when i go to job interview, companies are not looking my face. We are not a slave or other bad things... Anyway this subject has been a little bit political but if i cannot look a job or something this is a little bit about political.(According to me) Lastly, i am just waiting for new opportunaties but wait wait wait one day we will die and we will not understand why we are living...

I DIDN'T PASS EXAM OF INTERMEDIATE LEVEL IN ENGLISH COURSE...

23 February 2014, That day was suck day for me because a exam result killed me. So why? When I started that level I had sured about pass level to next but everything haven't gone good. I knew this level was hardly and tired. The first episode of intermediate was good but I had got bad result. I didn't remember now but it likes between 59-62 points. So the first three weeks was ok but second episode wasn't good for me because In three weeks I had a lot of problems about grandmother,mother and other shit things. The first, My grandmother who had a heart attack and her childrens took her to hospital and when I was in English course, my uncle has sent me message on my mobile phone, he said; ''Ozgur! My mom had heart attack and we're going to hospital now!'' Also that day I had a progress test of Intermediate level second episode. It was most important but my brain was stupid and I hadn't known what can I do so I entered exam and I hadn't thought anything because my brain was other way and I done it immediately. Damn I can't forget  that day!!! Anyway. After exam, I went to my uncle's shop who wasn't there so I had need to keep an eye on him shop. Wait, wait and wait I had news from grandmother who had to stayed in hospital so between three and four days. Tonight my mom was a sick who had a bronchial asthma... She was always coughing and her face was like crimson. Now you can ask me, what's problem about English. I hadn't had a time for study and I had forgetten myself and I gotten full stress. Last week of Intermediate level, I had a final exam for pass to Upper-intermediate. I had studied hard 10 hours in a day and I hadn't slept! Friday we had a final exam and it was good for me and I was waiting its result. Saturday I was waiting for learn result but no one didn't call me and all day my phone was in my hand...! Today so Sunday, between 3p.m. or 4p.m. An officier of English course called me for explain my result and I was excited but she said me you got 51 on 100 point... When I heared the my result I didn't say anything... Ten minutes later I said; ''Oh no!! How can it!'' Shortly that moment I was dead and a little cried because I hadn't believed it. That week I had more studied and hopeful. Finally I didn't pass exam so I don't know what can I do now...!

STUTTERING...

Do you know what is the stuttering? Completely you know what i mean. So now I will explain this subject because this problem is like despair and it can be more dangerous for stutterer people. First of all I'd like to explain about my stuttering problem, we're ( so stutterer people) normal person, not different to other people. Just we have a speak problem when we start speak it can be difficult for us and it is undergoing. hard times because your opposite person don't want to listen you and they always say, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? COME ON! HURRY UP! etc...  They don't give you support and respect. About me, I'm 26 years old now and When I was a child, this problem had me killed and poor. I hadn't had friends because no one don't want to speak me so I had confused those days and I was crying everyday and ask myself, why people don't want to speak me and they're moving from me. I was alone everyday and it stills continuing. Many people say, this stutterer problem not important in the life because that's a easy problem but they don't know what are we feel and how we live with this problem. They were just talking...  When I was in high school we had a religion lesson this lesson is called ''Din Kültürü ve Ahlak Bilgisi''  One day teacher had told our class '' everyone will prayer to memorize'' I had scared because how I could read prayer also as loudly. We had one day for prayer to memorize and after lesson I went home as rushing and full stressly. I had memorized two prayer so next day it's reading order had came me and I rode loudly but as a little stammering. When read finish teacher said me, you have a speak problem so I give you a low score and I had shocked so I asked why teacher? What happened? He said me, sorry but you had to rode these prayers as regular. I was second shock but how can it!? And later I said him thanks. It was bad day for me but I hadn't cared. Now, I have some problems again like before things but I grew up and I don't care just I want to be happy. As last story about today, I had a job interview in a factory so I was excited because they invited interview second time and I said myself, ok! They accepted me but I thought wrong when I went to there I waited boss of that factory when he came looked my face and hey I know you we had talked 3 month ago and I said yes. Anyway we talked again about job and he asked me, did you learn English language? I said in the 3 month? This is impossible I said. he laughed and said ok ok. Finally he said me, sorry but you're a stutterer person so we cannot working with you... That moment I said again ''Oh no! This is not real!'' But it was real and he apologised me. I haven't know what I should say to him. I just smiled and said good bye him.

So, if you don't stutterer person, you never understand us and never know what we feel...

A GOOD POST OFFICE OFFICER NAMED ŞEBNEM

Actually no one doesn't like post service officer I don't know why... Are they getting much money or what? Anyway, I want to explain about a post service officer from Bursa in Turkey. Her name is Şebnem WHO has working a post office in Bursa but she came back to her town to Ankara. I will explain now about herlife and how I met her. First of all I always go to my uncle's clothes shop in Nalbanoglu street. As first I get on a subway from nilüfer station to şehreküstü station and then I got off in şehreküstü station later I get on a bus. Number of bus 35/C and when I get on that bus I was seeing that girl everyday! One day I said myself I need to meet that girl I don't know why so that is a complex condition :) I've got a order from Australia and I prepared a package and went to post office to give officer. I was looking my around and I saw this girl and wen to near her as rush to give a package anyway I gave it to her and I asked her, ''Hello I'm seeing you everyday in 35/C and she said me same things '' yes me to'' In my mind I said to myself wow she talked to me hahaha. I didn't know why I was exciting this is a normal girl so not different. Well, later I want to speak to her more so I have a lot of order on my distro. When I went to post office I was always giving her my items. After several weeks we did more intimate and more comfortable but I was thinking I won a good friend. I hope she would be thinking like me so who knows... Her face like a angry and sulkly face I wondered one day and asked why are you like angry and what happened? She told me, this is my normal state and I shocked because she's really like a angry human but when I met her wasn't like so. A short time ago I've bad news, she will go her town so Ankara. I feel bad myself because she will be in other city and from Bursa to Ankara has five hours by bus. In fact I don't want to go her but her choice so I don't say about that. Not she lives in Ankara and working again in a post office as officer. Eventually we're talking on facebook almost like everyday. I'm thinking again, I WON A GOOD FRIEND...

Thank you Şebnem for your helping about my lost packages :)

Who is he? I will explain now about him. First of all, he is very good designer in Italy also he is my coffinfeeder distro's designer who made it my distro logo. He usually works metal music artworks, sculpting etc...  Three years ago I had a designer of my distro but one day I argued to old designer who is from Malaysia and later I was looking a new designer of my distro and I have looked for  seven months. I had talking a person who is a designer from Italy but I have never tought work with him also I was checking him artworks on facebook and him website. Him works are really good and I was afraid because I wasn't ask to price... I was thinking he wants to much money. One day I asked to him for him designs like how much do you want for artworks because  I was need a new logo of my distro. After spoke we agreement for new logo artworks and he made it. When I saw my new logo I haven't knewn what I say to him so I was just looking on the logo and I said WOW!

MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY ENGLISH LANGUAGE CENTRE IN BURSA/TURKEY

Last year, I've wanted to go an English course so I've looked to some courses. One day my friend's friend told me about an English course this course is called Macquarie University English Language Centre. I asked to him ''What's that and I havent heared this course before'' He told me about this course. He said, this course Macquarie University's English Language Centre in Sydney/Australia so they will open a language centre in Bursa/Turkey.  I've wondered really... I opened my computer and I researched this course. When I first saw website I said it may be big formation and next day my friend's friend came to me and I said to him I want to join this course but I don't know information about this course and he said me you have to go their branch in Altıparmak street for get information. Finally I went to their place and as first I talked Mehmet Kaygusuz. He's director of Turkey Macquarie University Elc. He explained me everything (All levels, about education system etc..) I've been affected because I had a lots of idea about abroad,job etc... I want to think this course information and talk to my family as financial. I came to home and I told to my family this course but my father hasn't interested because he has thought it like unnecessary things... But I didn't care because I have lots of goald I said you before. This course will be near the sehrekustu station and it looks beautiful from a distance. First, for one hundred student it has 50 percent discount I was happy when I saw that campaign. That day I did pay for course (only starter level) but later I got from starter level to upper-intermediate level also I met Mine Muratoglu and Hatice Bumen. They're working on Macquarie University Elc in Bursa but two or three weeks ago Hatice left Macquarie Univeristy Elc because she's doing Master degree ( but I'm not sure about that). Anyway I started this course last day of December 2012. Totally I'm still continue course for one years... Wow how quick passage of time! I'm in Intermediate level now I started already this per week. I'd like to explain about this course but you have to visit Macquarie University English Language Centre Bursa and check their education system. You will love it :)

MESOPOTAMIA ASSYRIAN WINE STORE IN MARDIN

 When I went to Mardin this year, my cousin suggests me a good wine store. This is called Mesopotamia wine store, of course I wondered this store and my mother, aunt, cousin and I went to this store. This is a small wine store but FANTASTIC! In the store's all wines made as handmade but actually wines making in the Midyat county in a factory and then all wines come to Store. This wine sell just to Mesopotamia wine store. Other stores not this wine!  I bought one piece wine. In the wine has average 25 or 30 alcohol. I haven't drunk this wine but I was going to try. So anyway I bought and we back to home. When I at home, my uncle called me, he said ''Özgür can you get a wine for me?'' And I said yes! I went to store second time (also my last holiday day...) and this time I met a assyrian people in the store, he's name is George and he's boss at Mesopotamia wine store. We talked lotf of things and drunk wine as mutual.  I loved it! I got his phone number and he said me, ''when you need to wine just call me, I will send you''  I was happy and I said of course! I bought a wine again and left store and I was sorry... But everything was ok. Sometimes we're sending message to each other. My suggestion to people, you have to go this store and buy wine :)

Assyrain wine my favourite wine in the WORLD! This wine is called Mesopotamia wine and it made in only Mardin not othercities and I met a new assyrian friend, he's name is George he owner at mesopotamia wine store. We talked to each other about a lot of things and He explained me about Assyrain culture (Many back years...). Also I went to Mardin museum with my mother,cousin and aunt also I took lots of photos, sculptures, weapons, golds etc...  When we went out to museum, later we went to Rudo kebab restaurant. What a delicious kebeb! I've never eaten that kebab. And then we went bazaar I've bought gift for my friends. Later we came back to home. So everything was amazing and fantastic! I loved it!
