Until i’m back

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..

Sharjah Book Fair to buy list..

Who else is flying without wingggggs waiting for the upcoming Sharjah Book Fair? I cannot wait for the 16th of this month onwards. Ehm, yes I have hundreds of untouched books sitting all over my place, but it’s an investment, isn’t it? please agree with me!

anyhow, for the first time ever, I planned to make a list of the books I’d like to get. I focused on Arabic novels in specific, because good Arabic novels are either unavailable at our local bookstores or out of stock.

Let me share my list with you, I relied on GoodReads, Google and my parents on making it. It’s not the final list, but I’ll share it with you friends anyways. Most these book have had ratings above 4/5.

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..

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 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

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
