  1. -To the eventful 2008-

    Looks like 2008 is full of surprises for me. I think, for that matter. Three of my cousins are getting married - I have a gut feeling that my sisters will also get involved in a relationship and it also marks the year of Olympics (and many other stuff). Here's a calender of what's hoped for in this year. January - My (to be married) cousin Wajiha's birthday February - Farewell to the outgoing batch of 11s, we're in 10 so we'll be busy giving them a lovely farewell. Also, my sister's...

  2. A Slow Start

    So this first entry is going to be a little warm-up. everyone always wantd to rush into things right? I've learned my lesson the hard way with that. so focused on the end-game then the actual journey itself. life is about getting to know things. I know as a child for me I had the feeling of constantly being rushed. everything needed to get done on someone elses time. racing against a clock that never stops. We live in a world that never stops. We never have the same moment Twice. even if its...
  3. Baaaaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkk kkkk!!!

    Yes, I'm back. Back, back, back. With a long weekend. Yay. I didn't review my date sheet, and when I did I realized my exams are finishing pretty early. Bleh. I can't wait for Eid (Arabic for festival), it's coming on Saturday or Sunday, depending on the moon sightings (Muslims go by the lunar calender). Just for anyone to know, it's called Eid-ul-Fitr, understood as the day of giving and rejoicing. We fast for almost a month and then celebrate today as a thanksgiving to God's blessings....

  4. Back to School

    This comes every year, but hey, I've been here for only two. :p I'm personally very ready, and I'm willing to study my way through, though I don't really know what my brain is going to do in the next year. It's really important for me, having being the last year which will decide my career, my lifeline literally depends on it. You can expect activity to go beyond zero from 2009, since I'll be on a long exile from the happy life of mine. However, for now, here's what happened to my goals....

  5. Canning and food preserving

    I want to quickly put down some info, partly just to help me remember it and sort out some ideas. But it also might help people who are interested in getting started on this. How I started—originally I bought emergency food— a few cases of MREs and then a bunch of #10 cans of freeze-dried foods. It's pretty expensive, but this stuff will literally keep for a decade or longer. This was my only plan in the beginning, but then an idea hit me— I should look into stocking up on foods I already...

  6. Devoid of Internal Peace

    I'll keep this blog short. Heh, ain't got no reason to make it long anyway! I'm getting bored, perhaps a little more than usual, because there's tension and distress backing it up. That would be actually exam anxiety :p. Moreover, some things round the forum have been stuffy. Good friends of mine have left, kinda makes me feel guilty cause I'm sitting around doing nothing. Nevertheless, the forum is quiet, painfully silent - I wonder why! I'm just waiting for my RPG to start, it should...

  7. Dreams are a sin

    Lost and Forgotten Are those eyes full of pain Blood streaming down The face of disdain Piercing me finally I've realized my destiny With no hope to wish for My soul has been killed in a scene of gore The quoted part is from a I poem I wrote. When writing it, I was in the same feeling as I am in right now. I just wonder why I'm even writing this blog. I should be studying. It's the purpose of my life, right? I don't know if this is the same rant every other teenager sings when...
  8. FINALLY...I posted here!

    Oh my, since school has started I've been praying to God that give me time to post something of weight over here. Escpecially on HERE! I mean, after requesting for a blog with such enthusiasm and not posting on it is just plain mean. :p Anyways, now that I've got a chance, I won't waste it. I'm back on my seat, and this weekend, I'm hoping to end my novel and then start nitpicking grammatical errors in it. Ack, I hate doing that. But it must be done! My coming agenda would be writing...

  9. Guilty of my birth right

    This is a pretty random realization, but I'm confessing it because it's closely related to the forums. I feel so guilty today. I don't know why. I log on to the site, see some stuff, and I feel like disabling my account. This is just unfair! Especially because I have no diagnosis of this problem. I can't relate to anything concerning this sudden eruption of hate and guilt. Then there's my real life. I always believed that my life is a unique one, stable, happy and satisfactory, in...

  10. Happy Ramadan <3

    Ramadan is a lunar month in the Islamic calender. Today is the first day of Ramadan, and today many Muslims start(ed) fasting! It's an exciting experience, to be honest. Ramadan is the month of fasting, when Muslims are expected to, at surface value, abstain from food, drink and conjugal relations from dawn to dusk - and spiritually, are expected to refrain from all areas of bad deeds especially, that maybe (I think) it can become a habit in future. :D Fasting is compulsory on the...

  11. I don't have time.

    This blog is lengthy, but if you take the time to read it it might help you and it'll be appreciated. My grandfather passed away on Thursday, 16th December 2004. We were watching an Indian soap (well, actually we were eating and passing time by watching it) called Kasauti Zindagi Ki (Challenges of life) when at around 8:00 pm we received news from the hospital about our maternal grandfather having passed away. He had been in hospital for six days, I believe; and I had an exam the next...

  12. I've flunked my exams

    Not technically, but for me, these marks are for those who flunk. I got my result for mid-terms.I won't be too hard on myself, and I'll say that I did pretty better in some subjects. But in some subjects, I'm just horrified. And perhaps depressed. Urdu - 81/100 (Not bad at all. I love it, my Urdu isn't very good and the highest is 85.) Biology - 85/100 (Last time, I got 78. And the main reason I didn't get better marks is because the teacher doesn't know what 'gush', and many other...

  13. It does happen

    So like, I have two sisters: Mishaal and Asma. I'm greatly fond of my second sister, and we're like fighting, playing and talking all day long. We're very similar - we often wear the same colored dress without knowing it too! So she left for a 2-day shopping spree in another city. I was like happy, since she takes up a lot of my time and keeps eating my head all day long, so I was chill and glad. I was least bothered, and I thought that missing someone only happens in movies and since I'm...

  14. List of Misfortune

    My date sheet for exams has been announced. Here's the gist of it. It's going to be tough for me because: I'm not studying and the course is of the total we've studied in two whole years. Not good. Friday 16th May Mathematics Paper 1 A 2 hour paper, with sums not needing a calculator. Nothing much, IMO. I'll be studying Biology (all the course for 9th standard) along with Mathematics. Saturday 17th May Mathematics Paper 2 A 2.5 hour paper, with sums needing a calculator. I hate...

  15. March assessments...hush

    I just got done with my Marchies. Oh,that's not a word, I know. But it's a word now. This year's theme - innovation, rehabilitation and optimism. And definitely opting to somehow, get my parents to let me study abroad. Which reminds me - any American folk kind enough to tell me what would they do if a girl dressed in a black hijab comes by, in University? I want to take precautions. As far as my assessments are concerned, they went really nice. First was Islamic studies and English,...
