Until i’m back

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

It is always when i have so much to say that i neglect my blog. It is always when i feel like my head will explode from all the thoughts in it that i avoid typing them down here. Why? I have no idea.
I will be back soon, i promise, when my head will be a bit lighter & my thoughts get untangled.
Because i miss filling this space with my random words, & i miss sharing my life with you all.

Untill then, may you always be surrounded by honest, loving & truthful people..

Just when i thought i’ll be able to update more frequently, i find myself hit by the fact that newborns are masters at stealing ones time >_<, first it was said that the first month is the hardest, then the second, then the third? Well i personally doubt theres any difference :P.. I wish from deep down inside my fat heart that I get the time to update as often as i desire *raises hands in prayer*
Ameen!

Back again..

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

Wow, my last update was more than a month ago! God knows how many times i wanted to log on & type away, but I just couldn’t. Anyhow, here i am back again, hopefully, to update regularly. Every time i go through my idle blog, i cannot help but smile at those of you who have always been checking back, you don’t have to leave a comment to say you’ve been around, for the web traffic i receive almost has your traces :) ..

so during my absence, I was counting down the days until i meet someone new in my life.. this someone can be described as : tiny, really tiny & adorably tiny! it’s a little someone that has arrived to tell me: “Now you have serious responsibilities!”  lol … So yes, I’ve become a mommy! as much as i’d like it to sink, it just isn’t sinking in >_<

Customized Husn Al Muslim booklets along with MP3 players uploaded with Quran recitation by Ahmad Al Ajmi <3

I’m almost done refurnishing my other room, it seems like ill spend the rest of my life redecorating! & i’ve noticed how much purple is surrounding me, I’m loving it <3!

during the last weeks of my pregnancy i became obssessed with the Harry Potter series that i read 4 books in just a few weeks! I wanted to have at least read the 6 books before the last movie is out in the theatres & managed it :D one more book to go and ill make sure i read it soon, or at least, when i start having some sleep first.

I will end this, but i will be back, i miss blogging, i miss you all…  I wish you all happiness & love

To feel it in your guts

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

Feeling lonely at heart, the important souls in my life seemed to have either passed or have drifted further away in life… In a time when all you need is your beloved company, you end up with very little.

I try to find solace in my dear family & books.. it helps, but does not fill the gaps..

Sorry for being away, I have not been able to get myself to write down anything in my blog, my blog feels as empty as myself. With all the sudden changes around me, i feel rather speechless & lost, trying to figure out where to put the right words..

Silence is usually misunderstood from those people around us, but only very few people know how to interpret it in a way that does not make your silence seem like carelessness. Those people are your true friends.. They will always KNOW deeply in their hearts that your silence is a plead for help.. For them to be near you..

I miss my friends way more than i can describe. I understand how busy everyone’s life is.. & how empty mine has become..

I hope the coming days bring back meaning into my life…

اللهم يسر ولا تعسر
