Over a cup of green tea


A few minutes ago, while I was working on my projects, I fixed myself a cup of green tea with diving mint leaves that left a very refreshing taste when removed. While drinking, I saw my blog’s bookmark on the bookmark’s bar and it hit me “I haven’t written since months thus I need to write!”

I still don’t know what I’ll write about but I think it will be something about what you leave behind you for I got inspired when I wrote “left a very refreshing taste when removed” in the above paragraph.

Lately, I've not only been through a writer’s block but through a writer’s comma! Yes, a comma! At first, I wasn't inspired but then I had many inspirations and less time and in some cases many inspirations and lazy time.

Since the last time I wrote, life as I knew it have changed, I have changed therefore everything about me have changed even the way I express my feeling in words have changed.

The refreshing taste of mint in my cup of green tea, refreshed my memory which gave me no choice but to stop working and just think. This time I’m not thinking about letting go or getting over things but about giving into my life and living up to the expectations of all who gave me a position and believed in me.

In life, we were given many positions. For instance, Allah Subhana wa ta'ala gave us the position of his glory’s worshipers. We were gifted with a soul and according to how good we are in taking care of it by doing what we were asked to do and avoiding what we were banned from, an eternal habitat will be granted to us either in heaven or in hell. Our parents gave us the position of their trusted child. Our relatives gave us the position of a modem that keeps our blood connection going. Our instructors in school or our heads in work gave us the position of the responsible student or employee. And last but not least our beloved ones and dear friends, they gave us the position of a lover, the feeling of being loved and cared about, the responsibility to keep a soul connection with someone not like anyone alive, with selected people whom you can trust and relay on and gave us a shoulder to cry on.

Now of all times, of the 20 years I have lived, I realize that everything starts within your brain, your heart and your soul. Once you decide to take a decision, do it sincerely from your heart and perform it with all the strength of your soul you can succeed and do a good deed. Inner peace is what keeps us strongly going, it is what keeps us sane. When you believe that everything written for us happens for a reason, when you are thankful for every reason, when you believe in the existence of the reason even if it wasn't known {لاَ تَسْأَلُواْ عَنْ أَشْيَاء إِن تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ} and when you love Allah as much as he loves you then only who will feel your inner peace.

No pain no gain! Heartbreaks, headaches, all the aches and all the pain, suffering, swollen eyes that ran out of tears, being forced to face your fears and  having no one that can bring back your cheers. These are our wake up calls they are the siren’s call (the enticing appeal of something alluring but potentially dangerous)! No matter how we fear them happening they are appealing when compared to what we fear after death, so we either look at the bright side believe that they are beautiful, listen to the danger they might be hiding and avoid it in the lower life before we regret it in the afterlife or give in and lose eternally. Its either we be thankful or object Allah’s well.

{إِنَّا هَدَيْنَاهُ السَّبِيلَ إِمَّا شَاكِراً وَإِمَّا كَفُوراً}

Yes life as I knew it have changed, I have changed and soon insha’Allah I’ll be the change I want to see in the world.  Wonders of life are endless you just have to see things without your eyes, look at the full half, think of what you leave behind you when you will be removed just like how the mint refreshed my memory after removed. It is amazing how my whole life’s work, experiences and knowledge just passed by over a cup of green tea.

With all the love I carry in my heart, I wish you all a happy life. May I be the mint to your lives when I get removed. <3

When Random Thoughts Rhyme

Pain Pain go away
Grownup girls aren't your prey...

Stalking them all the way
Hunting them night and day
Shooting them is on replay
Serving them on a tea tray
Eating them on your feast day

Keep in mind that thou shall repay
Your own gun will betray
Shooting you till you lay

While Grownup girls finally play
Watch you from far away
Laugh at you turning grey
Sipping coffee at the café
While you drop dead and finally pay



My Best Friend

My Best Friend


What does a best friend mean? 


According to the dictionary it means: the one friend who is closest to you. But to me it means only one word 'HIND'!

Why her?

Because Allah sent her to me.

What do I have to say?

Thank you perhaps or forgive me shall I say! Thank you for being the amazing you. Forgive me for what I put you through and all the pain.

THANK YOU:
For always being there even when i didn't have to tell
For being the one and only who never judged nor misunderstood me
For caring and telling me what I have to hear no what I want to
For standing by me when I'm wrong not to support me but to show me how wrong I am 
For all the things I can't thank you enough for 
For being in my life 
THANK YOU, THANK YOU & THANK YOU...

FORGIVE ME:
For all your happy moments I missed
For all the times you needed me and I wasn't there
For the trouble I put you through
Forgive me for all the moments I couldn't be the best friend you needed
FORGIVE ME, FORGIVE ME & FORGIVE ME...

These are the few of many things that I'm thankful and sorry for. If I continued listing I wouldn't finish tell the world ends, that's how special she is! 

Why can't I describe her?

No words in the whole entire universe can do her justice! 

Why today?

Because its the 27th of March HER 22ND birthday  which I hope is the best of her past and the worst of her future...

What am I trying to say?

Happy birthday hind and "كل عام و انتي بالف خير" may all your dreams come true and may your life be full of success...
I LOVE YOU 

XOXO
Your beautiful, pretty, amazingly lovely best friend

Happy Friend-a-versary!

Happy Friend-a-versary!

Dear Gorgeous Ladies:

Today as you all know if our friend-a-versary, a year past since we became officially a "Shela" but it seems like we've known each other forever! Having you as my friends is a blessing that I'm very thankful for. Each one of you have occupied a part in my heart and each of you is special in her own way.

Fuchi...
Originally Fa6ma, the first girl I meet in uni 3 years ago. It's weird how we meet but I swear it's "a7la 9edfa" seriously we had the same schedule and lost the same class! How funny is that! Anyways, you can get me from the looks in my eyes, understand what I really mean and yet never act like you do. You bared my temper and anger through my bad days and were always there, you stood by me even when you had no idea what I went through and yet managed to find a way to made me feel better... How can I not love you?!

79ai9 or shall i say "غزالي"...
Don't kill me 79a! I've known you for three years as well, thanks to my dear friend Meera who introduced us to each other. My special girl, the one whom you have to force to open up, the kind-hearted, sweeet, VERY caring and sensitive. I hate it when you act act mad and pissed just because you are bored and want to create a scene, thanks God Fuchi always comes in to expose you! You are there when I need you and even when I'm fine too, you don't simply sleep at night if you weren't sure that I'm fine. Always ready to sacrifice for us and always willing to do whatever it takes to see all of us smile... How can I not love you?!

3nood or as I always sing " عنيدّن فله في دبي لاقاني"...
I can't forget when I first meet you three years ago again thanks to Meera. The nagger who always argues with me on every single thing! I can't say a thing without you showing how wrong I am but somehow care about me a lot. You've been there in many ways, figured out stuff about me that freaked me out, you know me too well and I love spending time with you. Funny, crazy and always ready for adventure. This girl is never boring... How can I not love you?!


Nawary...
Noora wama adrak ma Noora! We meet four years ago through your cousin who happens to be my best friend and soul sister but I didn't really know it until you joined our university (4 semesters ago) and spent more time together till we became very close friends. How lucky am I to have a friend whose hobby is to talk about what I do and say with my other friends, you make me feel very special in a hilarious way "shefti reema shu galat" the problem is the girls continue the conversation! It's cute how they allow themselves to gossip about me (fuchi, 79a, 3nood & shaima) but will never allow others to. Your sweet, kind, caring and always ready to help... How can I not love you?!


Shaima...
Shoosha Shayooma el7ub! YOU ARE AMAZING!! I knew you through Noora since you are best friends and may you stay so forever. I can trust you knowing that you'll never bring up what I told you and help me go through it in ease. Simple, kind-hearted and lovely. Everything about you is relieving, always real never fake nor you exaggerate, pure and adorable... How can I not love you?! 

Hoping that we stay friends forever, I want you to know that each of you "elha '3lat'ha" and I am very glad that the six of us meet.

Overall, you girls are AMAZING... How can I not love you?!

Yours Loving:
Reema...

XOXO Reema <3


Sandstorm

Monday 12 March 2012

Instead of complaining over the sandstorm I allowed it to inspire me by looking at its bright side!

Sandstorm 


Today I had to walk against the wind to reach my destinations which made me realize that this is how life is, you have to keep going no matter what pushes you back and regardless how strong it is.

Today I didn't complain about the sand because I know that Allah sent it to protect us from something worse or to give us a chance to pray and erase our sins. After all, everything happens for a reason
 (  وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ 

Today the dust made me pray for rain and gave me hope that the day will end in a better weather. similarly is life, we find our lives difficult to cope with just because Allah wants us to pray for a better life, have hope in his glory and wait for his answer to our prayers.
(إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْراً)

Today I realized that hating the wind will not change the weather. Sometimes the things you hate the most are the best you can have! Allah will not place me in a situation where I don't fit, his glory wants me to learn, wait and hope. And one day I'll know the reason or shall I say learn the lesson behind what I'm hating today.
( عَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ )

Today I wondered what the wind carries for me, you and all of us. Muslims know that the wind carries something since Mohammed (صلى الله عليه وسلم) told us to reciete the following prayer when the wind blows:
 "اللهم إني أسألك خيرها وخير مافيها وخير ما أرسلت به وأعوذ بك من شرها وشر ما فيها وشر ما أرسلت به"

المنى في الدنا

المنى في الدنا 

"قيل: "ما كل ما يتمناه المرء يدركه        تجري الرياح بما لا تشتهي السفن

لم يدركه و لا يدركه 
لم يدرك ما قد يأتيه من المنى
لا يدرك ما أراد من الدنى

لو ادركنا لما تمنينا 
لو دركنا لما طمحنا

تجري الرياح مجراها لا مجرى هوانا
تأخذ احلامنا الى السماء لا الى دنيانا
توصلنا الى قدرنا لا الى مبتغانا 




فافرح اذا رزقت من حيث لا تحتسب
فما اعطاك ربك خير من ما تحتسب
فَاسجُد لِربّك واقترِب

صامتون


صامتون
صامتون و في الصمت ألف حكاية
صامتون و في الصمت حيرة
صامتون و في الصمت الم
صامتون و في الصمت خيرة
حكاية حيرة بين الم و خيرة
الم من الصمت و الكتمان
خيرة في الصوم عن الكلام
فقد قال لابنه لقمان:
"يا بني اذا افتخر الناس بحسن كلامهم, فافتخر بحسن صمتك."
