A Change?

The ‘Purple’ in my URL has been bothering me for a while. And I’ve been thinking of moving to a new blog with a more neutral URL.

Keep in mind, I feel very restricted when I want to change the colour/theme of the blog. :(

[Not to mention, I actually thought I could run two different blogs [A religious/political one and a personal/lighter one] but it’s… difficult and I keep on getting torn between the two.]

Thoughts?

What do you do

… when 9-10 year old girls you taught at an Islamic Summer Camp start adding you on Facebook?

I mean, are kids that age even supposed to be on Facebook?

[... Not that I have a shady Facebook or anything, but still.]

The so-called ‘Progressive’ of Karachi, Pakistan

Can someone point out to me what they would find attractive in this? Anything at all…

On another note, how can this be labelled ‘progressive’, when all of you do is get drunk, turn Jaahil and don’t know who you’re dancing with in the first place…

Pasta!

I’ve been craving pasta this whole week! I get absolutely weird cravings sometimes [Aside from chocolate]. This week it has been pasta. The images keep on forming in my head and I’m really really wanting to have some good pasta.

I was about to make some yesterday but it got a bit late and I didn’t have all the required ingredients. Tomorrow I’m having lunch out [Again! :S No matter how hard I'm trying to stay home it just doesn't happen... okay, maybe I'm not trying hard enough] so that leaves dinner and I think I’ll be a bit full from lunch to eat heavy pasta.

I guess I’ll make it on Friday. Anyway, yeah.

Pasta is totally awesome. *drool*


PS – I’m also horribly lazy and that is why I haven’t been replying to anyones comments.

Break

I need a break. A major one. Life can just drag you into its midst and its so easy to let go and forget where your priorities lie. I’m scared of after I’m done with the Qurán course, it’ll be so hard to keep up revision to keep the knowledge within you. I’m already missing it and i feel these holidays are a trial for me. My khushoo in Salah is different from how it used to be when I was getting daily doses of the Qurán.

Anyway coming back to the break, I just feel like taking out all the plugs. Solitude. Seclusion. I need time for myself and I’m so tempted to do that. But I just can’t, not when I have people depending on me to give them advice and others that turn to  me when they have a problem, religious or otherwise. For the past month or so, I’ve barely been at home, its either this or that and I had to end up going out. According to some people, I’ve gone to being totally anti-social to being too social. Heh. Khayr, as long as its not like Im going out to party or anything, but for genunine reasons.

I’m still going to try and cut my online time to make space for some ‘ME’ time. Especially in regards to revising the Qurán, working out and teaching some family members.

The month of Shabaan is here and it is sunnah to fast the first half of the month and it holds immense reward. Don’t get the oppurtunity pass you by!

Usaamah ibn Zayd said: “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, I do not see you fasting in any month more than in Sha’baan.’ He said, ‘That is a month concerning which many people are heedless, between Rajab and Ramadaan. It is the month is which people’s deeds are taken up to the Lord of the Worlds, and I would like my deeds to be taken up whilst I am fasting.’ [Saheeh al-Nasaa’i, 2221 & Abu Dawud]

May Allah allow us to enter into Ramadan and accept our fasts and deeds. Ameen!

PS – My second day of working out and although I’m excessively tired because my body is in a state of shock, I am happy alhamdulilah. :D I am so utterly out of stamina. I hope I can keep up the routine.

PPS – There were so many other things I wanted to blog out, like the stupidity of some [*SOME*] Men, marriage phobias, 10 year old curious children, supposed trips to Pakistan, and uhm yeah. But I dont have the energy.

:/

I hate life sometimes. Like now, for example.

:/

You know what they say about patience being hard? They were right.

Ugh!!!

Red & Nails

Is red nailpolish too outrageous…?

Actually, lets phrase it this way,

‘Is Red nailpolish too outrageous for a Niqaabi?’

*sheepish*

I’ll probably be taking it off anyway before I go out, I don’t know why I get these urges sometimes.

[My only other option would be to wear gloves...]

Del

I have this indefinable urge to delete this blog.

And I haven’t replied to peoples comments… because I don’t want to. I’m lazy.  And I’m busy.

Sigh.

A Victory for Pakistan

Congratulations Pakistan for winning the t20 Cricket WorldCup and doing a good job. :) Especially happy for Afridi, his performance was excellent.

I’m also happy because this victory will bring much needed happiness to the people who are IDPs and the current turmoil the Country is in.
