[mood: happy]
[craving: a trip 2 Dxb]

Ever wonder what real happiness is? I have often been in many depressing moods.. Always focusing on the negative parts.. Why this?? Why me..? Why not otherwise? .. ect No matter how much i feel, think or talk about it.. It never changes.. if it does, will only increase..So what now? I often thought about it.. Until I once heard this woman (Allah yjzeeha kil 5air) talk about happiness and explained that the source of real happiness is within oneself.. As long as your heart is happy.. belonging to God.. then everything else won't affect you.. Infact it would change things to the better.. Happiness can be owned by anyone- poor, rich, old, young or whatever.. doesnt matter as long as you focus on it and know how to obtain it.. Here are a few things you might consider if you are seeking the treasure- happiness:

1) Set your love up to God's standards.. Anything and anyone you love, for Allah's sake.. anything below might diminish or hurt you.. Because it is only this kind of love - Loving Allah - that is the purest kind of love and yes.. its eternal.. as long as your life is focused on that, nothing else should bother you..

2) Love yourself.. love others.. it will pay back in the form of pure happiness.. why wait for others to make you happy? Start from within, and spread it around.. Don't worry.. its endless and there will be enough for everyone.. ;)

3) Never envy others.. instead work hard for what they have or earned and be grateful of what you already have.. If you look sourly at what others have and wish you got it instead.. sorrow and depression will definitely be your best friends.. Reality check: no one on Earth is perfect.. everyone everywhere will always lack something.. and will want more.. its human nature.. Still hard? Then do it the easy way and look at those under you and you will surly discover the set of treasures you have got..

These are just a few steps.. as long as you understand the idea and implement it.. happiness shall find its way to you.. and hopefully to those around you.. =)

Special thanks to Kaneda for this sweet graphic.. =)

That's all for now.. happy day everyone.. ;)

"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." - Confucius

They say knowledge is power.. so how much should a person know to sieze the power? Ofcourse, I agree knowledge is limitless, no one can know everything.. ever.. except for Allah.. but when you know more than anyone else, you have more control of the situation and so you are ahead with a few points.. This always seemed to be one of the best 'games' on the net.. People can easily hide behind virtual names and play their game.. its fun- true, especially if you have the ball in your hand.. but sometimes things aren't as they seem to be.. thats when you should 'look beyond what you see'.. in order to play it right my friend.. ;)

That's all for now.. have a great week ahead everyone.. I know I will.. inshAllah.. ;)

I posted this topic a few months ago in one of the forums, and I am bringing it up again due to its importance:
Once upon a time, "Athan" was something we heard 5 times a day whereever we are in the country..

Today, however, the case is different..

Not that the masjids stoped calling for prayers.. but there are 'distractions' that weren't around few years ago, and I am talking about the media.. and the FM specifically.. When it first started.. there was a break for 'Athan' when it was time.. then later.. we began hearing some kind of flute playing.. (o'3neeyat al-athan as the kids used to call it *ast'3far Allah* but its true).. then today.. its completely ignored.. Yes.. No sign of any prayer times.. or that this stations is broadcasted from a respected muslim country.. Even if you don't listen to FM, they still play it in public places like the Mall.. Loud music and dance songs during the Athaan, without even giving it the slightest bit of respect.. You hear "Jawad" screaming like a girl whoes pony tail is stuck somewhere, in what they call "music", muffling away the calls for prayer and still people clap and sing along to his "noise".. You walk in the Marina Mall, and suddenly its Ma'3reb, but you won't guess until you go outside and see the orange sky, or look at your watch.. if you know the athan time.. But if you did neither, you would hear the FM playing normally as usual, or shops cramming out the music carelessly..
Did we reach a point, where our belief in Islam has been taken for granted?! What happened to the moments of silence and spirituallity as we hear the calls for prayers? Calls for prayers, five times a day.. how long does it take.. 5 mins? 7 mins? Can't the music be turned off, if not down for these few mins..?! Can't people pretend to at least have respect??!
Maybe just like many of our values and beliefs, "Athan" is not considered trendy anymore..!? *ast'3fr Allah*
I can think of for now, is to at least advice people about it, and conserve the respect *if any is left*..Here are few points you can do to help:
1) Switch off the FM, radio or whatever music you have on during athan prayer- If they have no respect, at least you do..
2) If you are out in the mall, and you heard the athan, kindly ask the shopkeepers to turn down the music during Athan..
3) Try to spread the word about this to raise more awareness.. oo inshAllah Allah yrzggekom el-ajjar

p.s. This post does not target any specific FM station- you would know which ones I mean anyways.

[Caution: the following entry is highly complicated, do not read if you suffer from simple thinking, or have no sense of direction because you may get lost on the way]
Ever wonder what really goes on inside one's personality, how everything works and what makes it what it seems to be? I am no psychologist but I have my own interpretations from what I see. It fascinates me how one's personality can function. What things make them look ‘simple’ or ‘complicated’? What their exteriors show- more like their window display, how others view that and how much they need to show in order to be judged in a certain way. They say some people are transparent, I agree, I can already think of 3 in one second only. Others however, are a different case. They use the best ways of camouflage to lead others to think of them in a certain way- to draw a certain image of themselves in front of others. This is not necessarily negative, infact I believe this is done in order to protect their privacy. Why expose something that is important to you and you treasure? When you think of it this way- it then makes sense.
Another thing- confusion. I am beginning to see this like a person having a messy room. Everything may be there, scattered everywhere and piled with other things- but it is still there. It may be so messy you cannot see the way, but doesn’t mean the way doesn’t exist. Its just the case of when you clean your room, and that to some people is one hell of a job, especially if you didn’t do so in a looong time.
Another aspect, which always seem to amaze me: internal conflicts. Some people say it’s the mind vs. the heart, but sometimes its more than just two sides. It’s like you sit and watch these sides present their thoughts, back their ideas with facts and evidence and you are a judge- you have to sit there and decide. Ideally, you have to be fair to yourself, but like the real world, sometimes the guilty get away and that’s when you end up taking the bad decision. And we know how much guilty people are walking out there, however, we also know there is always the chance for an appeal.
There is much more to this, way more, but I will stop here- I don’t want to loose whomever survived till this point, nor myself. =P One thing for sure, the clouds are starting to thin away.

Recently, I have noticed a great number of girl-websites closing down and it seems to be increasing. Well some of them closed due to server problems and will reopen soon- thats ok, but what I am concerned with are those closing their websites because of rumor attacks.. =\

This entry is dedicated to someone special, she will know herself, and I seriously want her to read what I will say and consider it..

I wont give u endless lectures on not listening to what these people say ..ect because I am sure you heard all this before.. What I will say is this: No matter how much you will try hiding behind other nicks and creating new identities.. There will ALWAYS be someone who will try to undo that smile on your face.. Its the sour truth.. We hate flies.. but they still exist around us.. no matter how much PifPaff we spray.. they will still annoyingly buzz around trying to piss us off..

So what shall we do?! Live with it.. The only logical reason these sick people do this, is to gain attention.. They are probably lousy in their life and get no recognition.. so the only way to get some 'open ears' is by faking some things and creating juicy gossip on the expense of other people's reputation..

Rumors are just like unwanted smoke.. you may cough.. it may bug you and you hate it, but would you lock yourself in the house just to aviod it? You shouldn't worry about what people whom you merely know, and they barely know you.. would say or think- because it is not based on solid grounds..

But then.. if you think about it carefully.. Who really knows you? Your family, your friends (online and offline), people around you.. Do they like you? Do they really think you are bad? As a friend- I do not think so at all, infact I admire you as a person and your creative talent.. I am sure many others do too.. So wear that smile again on ur face.. coz it looks best on you.. and shrug off the pesty flies.. coz once they are gone.. You would find yourself wondering.. "What flies?"

In designer terms, that is the contrast in life- good and bad.. What beauty would the good have if there was no bad..? ;) Be strong, be happy and most importantly, be proud of what you are and what you got.. ;) We love you.. =)

Thats all I have got to say.. have a pleasant day ahead.. ;)
