Word up

Salaam world

 

My apologies for not writing anything in ages. Today, I'm having a go at writing a different style of post because quite frankly I don't feel up to writing a full and proper account of anything in particular.

Music: Jamming – Bob Marley

Location: Bedroom – shame on me for bringing the laptop into our boudoir, heehee!

Mood: Happy and mellow, alhamdulilah.

Feelings: A long one. Rather relaxed. I'm at home today as I don't work Mondays and Fridays, unless called in for supply work. Tired - as it's my TOM. Annoyed – parents evening tonight from 7 to 9pm, why so late?! Also annoyed at certain types of people whom we're all bound to meet in life. I'm talking about the gossiping and insecure types who make other people's business their own i.e. they don't think twice about passing judgment on your life, yet turn a blind eye to what's going on in their own lives. Anyway, I'm sure I'll get over this one inshaAllah!

Thoughts of wonder: (more utter randomness be aware)

1. The sky is so beautiful when it's mostly clear blue with soft woolly clouds. Reminds me of marshmallows, which in turn reminds me of hot chocolate, yum yum!
   
2. I wonder how things will work out for the hubs and I went we move home to a completely different place. Birmingham. I don't even like the sound of it, and nor do I have any love for the Brummie accent, but it seems to be the best place to be moving to compared to other expensive and resourceful cities such as London and Manchester. Apologies if I have accidently upset any Brummie readers! I am not a snob!
   
3. I wonder how much stuff I'll actually manage to take with us and squeeze into our one bedroom flat! I don't have enough space where I'm currently living with huge wardrobes and ample (I'm a big hoarde!) storage – hmm.
   
4. I hope we all have a fun time in Turkey – less than 3 weeks away, can't wait!!! Yes, we as in me, the hubs and all my siblings! Yay!
   
5. Umrah hajj. Lots of questions more than thoughts at the mo. More to come later.
   

Food: Not feeling up for anything 'cept for a sweet cuppa. Mmm. Just finished cooking tarka daal, that's tomorrow sorted!

What's next? An afternoon nap, oh the joys of working part time eh! Larve it! ;-)

Anything else? Sorry to everyone that has been replying to my posts. Thank you so much, it's great to know that you guys are still there and reading on. Let me also mention that I habitually read pretty much all the blogs on my list for updates and entertainment ;-) Please don't think I'm being an awkward so and so just because I'm not commenting as much as before. Truth is, I cannot be bothered to log in. I'm actually writing this post direct from Word so as to avoid logging in. I don't know why, but I prefer writing like this!

 

As for now, ciao amigos!

Testing testing – straight outta Word 2007!

Salaam world!

 

I've always logged into Blogger to publish a post but today, since randomly finding the "blog post" feature in Word 2007, I've decided to give it a shot. I'm not sure how this will appear when published since I can't see the usual blog post template but let's wait and see!

 

Ciao

 

 

Two posts in one go, woohoo!

Thank you to all of you who have wished me all the best during my difficult Master's dissertation times! I can gladly say that I have now graduated and that this chapter is forever closed, alhamdulilah :-) Alhamdulilah again just because I really truly mean it!

I am so anti virus right now

Virus is the new word in my daily vocabulary. Having learned about it first in Science lessons and then in IT, I went on to further teach this to my students. I thought I was all virus'd out when I somehow mysteriously en counted a Trojan virus on my USB stick. Turns out that it somehow transferred from my school PC but luckily for me, my home anti virus software readily identified and attacked it. Computer viruses all out, I then encountered the scientific virus when members of my family were recently infected by it. Of course, spending a couple of days with them during my holidays last week would lead to me catching it too and oh boy, did I suffer or what. One and half days off work and dying of utter boredom and sickness I am oh so virus'd out.

Having just about recovered from a strong bout of virus attack, the one single piece of advice I can share is: eat your oranges, or drink the juice if that's what you're into. As soon as the sour sweet juices hits the back of the throat and induces a tingling feeling, you can be sure that you're well on your way to recovery, yessir, I know.

Thought of the day [2]

The lessons are usually not all that obvious. Yet they are there if you will think to take a look. The lessons are there in every moment, in every dilemma, in every frustration and every joy. They are there in every sadness, every victory, every discomfort and every pleasure.

Wave in the air!

Salaam everyone

What can I say, it's been a while. While I may not have logged on and typed more words (of utter randomness) I have been coming back to keep myself updated with all that is going on in your lives. What's kept me from logging on? Hmm, hard to say really. This period of time that has passed has been one of speed full of exciting-ness and sheer unknowing-ness. Forgive me for my lack of words today.

In a summary then:

1. Blogging is cool, fun and a great 'me time' place
2. Working is fantastic mashaAllah, just wish it was full time! This past term has been another hectic one but I am so proud of all the girls and the hard work that they have put in :-)
3. The job hunting process returns! And it is one hell of a pooper. Really stinks. I have an interview on Wednesday and have been planning stuff for it since yesterday. Allah only knows what is in store for me. More details to follow, naturally :-) Keep me in your duas please!
4. Another *counts on fingers* 5-6 months left before the hubs and I fly the nest, his nest, rather. Living with the in-laws must come to a natural end and inshaAllah we will leave amicably with their blessings.
5. I graduate in 2 weeks time! Yeah that's right, I've offically earned my Masters (with Merit!). Hoorah! lol

So, there you have it. A snippet into the life of a mint.fresh.muslim.

Until next time, ciao amigos!

Thought of the day

Stop making judgments about the things that don't matter. And you'll free yourself to focus on the things that do.
