ABOUT ME

Same with my Facebook profile, Twitter account and Myspace Blues & Jazz demos (recorded on February 2010) :)
You can have a look at my blogs too: fulyaozturk.blogspot.com or fulyaozturkplacing.blogspot.com As an ex-journalist I hunt talents
More & more about me: I cant stand liars, selfish people, people into more money and snobbish people.. Enough around everywhere.. And.. Silly questions like "Does it snow in Turkey?" - should be away.. Turkey is a Mediterranean country like Spain, France, Italy and Greece, of course it snows! (We have famous skiing regions Uludag, Palandoken, Kartalkaya, Kartepe...... & most of all, 4 seasons here which is so rare for the 2/3 of the world..)

"Oh la la, mon ami! Dont lose time with silly things and silly people, life is not a 'time gift' given to you to spend for them" Fulya Ozturk

"I am a good person but that doesnt mean I have to or want to carry unnecessary people's caprices" Fulya Ozturk

"People who want to identify theirselves as 'shiny', do the mistake to follow the people who daze their eyes with strong fake light. What they cant see is: Fake ones dont take them as friends but accept as devoted fans to use for benefit" Fulya Ozturk

"Living shouldnt be that tiring" Fulya Ozturk

"Dirt is only dirt for clean people" Fulya Ozturk

"Comparing now with 1950s, we are more lucky to have machinery to do things fast, on the other hand we dont have enough time in 24 hours/day. Do we have more things to do or we have become lazier?" Fulya Ozturk

"Saying 'Nevermind there are alternatives' is a sick thought & proof of distrust in any field, especially love" Fulya Ozturk

"If you are 'right', you should be prepared to die alone" Fulya Ozturk

"To wait is good if that one you are waiting for is good" Fulya Ozturk

"Why dont we build the new buildings with classical look and let them be historical in time?" Fulya Ozturk

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot, really a lot.. Jazz.. I know about jazz and I am into jazz - through singing blues & jazz songs: Myspace Blues & Jazz demos (recorded on February 2010).. I laugh at people saying they love jazz but not able to tell any jazz song name (expecting to super-socialize??), silly! :)) I also love funk and soul, blues, pure opera vocals, lounge music, Medieval music, Celtic music, Rumelia Folk Music, Balkan music, Ottoman classical music, classic rock, musicals, Brit pop.. Dance music is a must..I have BA from Radio-TV, Cinema so dont ask about movies to me! ;)
