ABOUT ME

My name is Ceyda Turk and my name pronounce as "Jayda". Unfortunately, I can't attach more four two pics because of the size. However here is the website you can check all my pics at http://kmh.no-ip.biz:8888/ceydaturk/ (you can simply cut and paste). I am originally from Turkey and US citizen . I used to be a professional gymnast and a dancer. I am also broadcast journalism/ mass communication graduate, I have both experience in front and behind the camera for the past 6 years; my skills include final cut pro editing, I have worked in numerous big TV shows as an audio engineer (Xmas Special w Jennifer Hudson for 2010 in Chicago, Barbara Streisand, Fashion Rocks, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show just to name few of them), and I do have an experience to produce and how to put the best team and handle chaos pretty well. I am 5'4 and 100 pounds, I wear size 7 shoes and XS tops. I have brown eyes, dark brown chestnut long hair.
In no particular order as they all mean the world to me. Loyalty, family, passion, love, butterflies in my stomach, the ocean, theater-acting, dancing, laughing until I cry and once crying until I laugh, stars at night, chocolate, shoes, my friends, summers where there is ocean and beautiful beaches. I love living the life to the very moment and doing everything that I ever dreamed of as a child, also trying things that I haven't dreamed of before. Being inspired, and having a passion and thrill for life.
Here some more about me's.....
I live AT...and like to just BE...by the Ocean... It visually and physically represents infinite freedom to me. Love out doors, walking, biking, camping ( as long as I have a hotel near so I can go to sleep there...other wise I have a small bladder issues at night, will be a pain in the .... ) Kayaking ( not very good at it but can definitely learn to be better ), sailing, scuba diving, playing voleyball, walk along the beach (which calms me down...love the water, due to being Pisces) , also love roller coasters , love to travel the world for vacation, or work ( especially getting paid for doing what u love while u travel even better !!!), explore anything and everything, history , people, cultures, languages, arts, music.... Love music from opera to rock to house to world music, pretty much anything but heavy metal or too country... Love performing arts, theatre acting, ballet, cirque de soleil, opera.... Love going to movies........ Love dancing in the rain and any where has a good music, it can be at home, wearing pj's just me and my partner...having pizza and wine for dinner ( although not crazy about fast food at all, once in a while it's nice to have comfort food )
Love thinking out side of the box and live freely... Love meeting with people who are open minded, intelligent, artistic, appreciates life, have sense of humor and not fake... Can't deal with people who drinks too much and have black outs or can't remember things, I find them really annoying, and pathetic especially those who become aggressive when they drink... Can't stand lies, and dishonesty... Disrespectful behavior, have no tolerance at all...love networking. I don't have millions of friends but I have very good, quality friends...and I know a lot of people but that doesn't mean they all are my friends just because they know my first name or met me once.
ONE MORE THING I AM ALSO A DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER... and I want to document my experiences in life with many different cultures and learn from their skills and see life through their eyes and project it to the world with mine!!!!:-)

PHILOSOPHY

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it it felt when your was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because the time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take as many pictures u Can, laugh too much, and love like u never been hurt because every sixty seconds u spend upset is a minute of happiness u'll never get back. Don't be afraid that ur life will end, be afraid that will never begin!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I dont know if I can teach anything particular other than what I know...but we learn from each other constantly even how we speak, how we handle each situation, way off seeing and doing things, so much to learn could be as simple as how we fold our clothes to way we cook, or dance, soooooo much...so if you want more specifics, contact me!!! aghhhh... ;-)
