Dear Europe, sorry about the cloud of ash above your head and the fact that you are trapped and can't travel anywhere...we feel the exact same way. Yours Sincerely, GAZA

15 things you shouldn't do on Facebook!

noreply@blogger.com (brightnight) — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 15:55:00 +0000

Got these from a Facebook group: click here

1. Do not abuse the Facebook status feature. It specifically says "What's on your mind?"...not "What are you currently doing every five minutes of your life".

2. Do not become a fan of Facebook pages that don't apply to you.

3. Do not like your own statuses or photos otherwise I think people are going to think you're a little bit sad. Although, that's my opinion.

4. Do not send silly gifts on Facebook applications. Yes...we are very grateful you considered sending us a kitten or a hug...but how about sending me something in real life?

5. Do not post attention seeking statuses. This includes making up stories such as your grandmother falling down the stairs to get people to comment and like your status.

6. Do not post indirect, subliminal statuses. If you are in love with 'him' and 'he' is constantly on your mind, do us all a freaking favour and tell him for heaven's sake! This includes b***hing about someone without writing the person's name. We all want to know who the d**khead is thank you very much.

7. Do not, if you have Facebook on your mobile, post a photo of everything you eat during your daily adventures.

8. Do not add someone, then post "Sorry...random add!" on the wall. You clearly thought that person was nice looking...but you shouldn't be adding people you don't know anyway.

9. Do not have false middle names. You are not 'James Bedrock Goldstone' or 'Mandy JustinBieber Riddles'.

10. Do not put an apostrophe in your name (such as 'George Harrold') just to appear first on your friend's chat list.

11. Do not tag all your friends in a 'supposedly funny' photo you discovered on Google Images.

12. Do not have false profile pictures. It's an insult to make us think you're a Pokémon.

13. Do not ask people to comment or 'like' your photos of yourself. I refuse to explain myself with this one.

14. Do not have your relationship status set to "It's complicated". If your relationship is so damned complicated that you have to identify it as such on your Facebook profile, get the hell off Facebook and go fix your relationship.

15. Do not import your 'tweets' from Twitter. If we wanted to read your tweets...we would have Twitter accounts wouldn't we?

NOTES:

- The only reason you have to become a fan to see the '15 things' is to make it easy to show your friends about the page

- If you don't like the page, you don't need to tell us...leave silently (especially if you got offended or took it too seriously, it was already suggested to give this page a skip)

- You can't have the word 'Facebook' in the title of pages/groups (which explains 'FACEBÒÓK')...it's a joke

- If you have any additonal things in minds (to add on to the '15 THINGS'), leave a wall post

Twenty Characteristics of Faith
A member of a delegation from the tribe of Azd Suwayd ibn Al-Harith reports:

I was one of the seven men who were sent as a delegation from our tribe to the Prophet, peace be upon him. When we entered the mosque and spoke to him, he was pleased with our appearance. He asked us what we were. We said: "We are believers." The Prophet smiled and said: "Every statement must have a substance. What is the substance of your statement and your beliefs?" Our answer was: "Fifteen characteristics, five of which we were ordered to believe in by your messengers, and five we were ordered by them to implement, and five were part of our moral code, prior to Islam, which we still maintain unless you reject any of them."

The Prophet asked: "What are the five in which my messengers have ordered you to believe?" We said: "They have ordered us to believe in
1) God,
2) His angels,
3) His books,
4) His messengers and
5) Resurrection after death."

The Prophet asked: "What are the five that my messengers have ordered you to implement?" We said:
1) "They have ordered us to declare that there is no deity other than God,
2) to attend regularly to our prayers,
3) to pay Zakat,
4) to fast in the month of Ramadan and
5) offer pilgrimage to the House if we are able to do so."

The Prophet then asked us: "And what are the five which you have adopted in pre-Islamic days?" Our answer was:
1) To be thankful in times of plenty and
2) to be patient in times of trial, and
3) to accept the turns of fate, and
4) to show our commitment and dedication when we meet the enemy, and
5) not to express pleasure at misfortunes befalling our enemy."

The Prophet commented: "These people are wise and learned. Indeed, they are so wise that they approach the degree of Prophets." He then said: "I am adding five more qualities so that you have 20 in all. If

you are truly as you have described, then
1) do not accumulate what you cannot eat,
2) do not build houses you shall not use for living,
3) do not compete for something you are leaving behind tomorrow,
4) have fear of God, to Whom you shall return and be accountable,
5) and look forward to what you are certainly facing and that in which you shall remain forever."
[Ibn Kathir, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah]

كي نرى الجانب الاخر

noreply@blogger.com (brightnight) — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:37:00 +0000

جلست فى الحديقة العامة و الدموع تملأ عينى ....كنت فى غاية الضيق والحزن ، ظروفى فى العمل لم تكن على ما يرام، بالإضافة إلى بعض المشاكل الشخصية الأخرى.

بعد عدة دقائق رأيت طفلاً مقبلاً نحوى و هو يقول : "ما أجمل هذه الوردة رائحتها جميلة جداً ". تعجبت لأن الوردة لم تكن جميلة بل ذابلة ، ولكنى أردت التخلص من الطفل فقلت : "فعلاً ، جميلة للغاية ".

عاد الولد فقال: "هل تأخذيها ؟". دهشت و لكنى أحسست إننى لو رفضتها سيحزن ، فمددت يدى و قلت : "سأحب ذلك كثيراً، شكراً ". انتظرت أن يعطيني الوردة و لكن يده بقيت معلقة فى الهواء

و هنا أدركت ما لم أدركه بسبب أنانيتي وانشغالي فى همومي .... فالولد كان ضريراً !! أخذت الوردة من يده، ثم احتضنته و شكرته بحرارة و تركته يتلمس طريقه و ينادى على أمه

بعض من أمور حياتنا تدفعنا للتذمر فهيا بنا نتأملها فى ضوء مختلف يدفعنا للشكر..... فهيا بنا نشكر :

الضوضاء ، لأن هذا يعنى إننا نسمع.

زحمة المرور، لأن هذا يعنى إننا نستطيع أن نتحرك و نخرج من بيتنا.

النافذة المحتاجة للتنظيف و الأواني التي فى الحوض،لأن هذا يعنى إننا نسكن فى بيت، بينما الملايين في العالم مشردون.

البيت غير النظيف بعد زيارة الضيوف،لأن هذا يعنى إن لدينا أصدقاء يحبوننا.

التعب الذى نشعر به فى نهاية اليوم، لأن هذا يعنى إن ربنا أعطانا الصحة لأتمام واجباتنا.

المنبه الذى يوقظنا فى الصباح من أحلى نوم،لأن هذا يعنى إننى مازلنا على قيد الحياة، ولنا

النساء كثمرة التفاح على الشجر

noreply@blogger.com (brightnight) — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:25:00 +0000

النساء كثمرة التفاح على الشجر..

التفاحة الأفضل تكون في أعلى الشجرة. ..ولكن .. بعض الرجال

لا يرغبون في الحصول على الأفضل ...

لأنهم يخافون من الوقوع، او من الفشل...

لذلك فهم يأخذون التفاحة المتعفنة التي سقطت على الأرض...

ورغم أنهاغير جيدة إلا أن الحصول عليها سهل...

هنا .. قد يعتقد التفاح الذي في أعلى الشجرة أن هناك شيء ما خطأ فيهن...

والحقيقة هي أنهن في غاية الروعة...

إذن لا تسقطي كي لا تكوني سهلة المنال

cool house

noreply@blogger.com (brightnight) — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:53:00 +0000

I want to live there!!!
t is a rare building design that manages to appear at once contextual and completely alienated from its surroundings. The curves of this unique house byJ. Mayer H. Architects bleed out from its edges and flow into the landscape around it, yet the division of artificial and natural remains quite clear save for the ambiguous boundary of the landscaped yard.
The attention to volume, curves and fluidity extends from the exterior of the house to its interior spaces that seem carved out of a single solid substance and morph from one room into the next like a series of caverns. The shell of the structure is pierced by likewise curved openings that frame incredible views of the adjacent and distant natural and residential areas.
Moving back to the outside, it is clear that there is an overall logic and rhythm governing the structure as it relates to the land on which it sits – namely, that it pushes out in all directions and moves both with and against the hill it rests on. The real accomplishment of this house design lies not in its purely aesthetic qualities but in the complex ways in which it relates to its environment and seeks a balance between being on independent object building and part of its site and surroundings.

do u live in canada?

noreply@blogger.com (brightnight) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 17:37:00 +0000

Forget Rednecks,

Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has

to say about Canadians.

If your local Dairy Queen is closed from

September through May,

You may live in Canada .

If someone in a Home Depot store

Offers you assistance and they don't work there,

You may live in Canada .

If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,

You may live in Canada .

If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation

With someone who dialed a wrong number,

You may live in Canada .

If 'Vacation' means going anywhere

South of Detroit for the weekend,

You may live in Canada .

If you measure distance in hours,

You may live in Canada .

If you know several people

Who have hit a deer more than once,

You may live in Canada .

If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'

In the same day and back again,

You may live in Canada .

If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow

During a raging blizzard without flinching,

You may live in Canada .

If you install security lights on your house and garage,

But leave both unlocked,

You may live in Canada .

If you carry jumper cables in your car

And your wife knows how to use them,

You may live in Canada .

If you design your kid's Halloween costume

To fit over a snowsuit,

You may live in Canada .

If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --

You're going 95 and everybody is passing you,

You may live in Canada .

If driving is better in the winter

Because the potholes are filled with snow,

You may live in Canada .

If you know all 4 seasons:

Almost winter, winter, still winter,

and road construction,

You may live in Canada .

If you have more miles

On your snow blower than your car,

You may live in Canada .

If you find -2 degrees 'a little chilly',

You may live in Canada .

If you actually understand these jokes,

And forward them to all

your friends,

You definitely are Canadian

It has been quiet a while since I last posted something to this blog.
I have been really busy the past few days with school and I was sick
with that puffy eye! I hate being sick.

Last night I went with Nosiba to help her pick a present for mother's day
She got her mom a purse and a pretty cup set.
While we were out we looked for skirts so that I can wear it to school instead of pants since the school uniform has a short t-shirt. I found a nice gray one that I want to buy.
Since I didn't have enough money with me I will have to find someone to go
with me today to buy the skirt.
