Hooray, my brain is back to work! I only have symptoms here and there now. I feel so much better, but I'm concerned it could happen again. I'm not following up with the neurologist or seeing a rheumatologist. I really just want nothing more than a break right now. Plus, that last neuro actually tried to force my elbow into hyperextension! Who puts their hands on a patient in a way that could inflict pain or cause damage?! I'm so sick of doctors.
My cousin whom I grew up with had a baby girl a few months ago. I haven't seen her yet, but the baptism/christening (whichever the Catholic thing is) is next weekend and despite all the jerks that I would be stuck in a room with, I would like to attend. I'm mad at my body for not being up to it, but it's simply too much to ask of it. Walking is difficult and painful. More so than usual. My shoulders are so swollen some shirts are actually tight across the neck!
The important thing is that the reason I'm not going is because of concern for myself and not based on input or opinions of anyone else. My mother has been badgering me about RSVPing for 2 straight weeks. Actually, the only reason she has contacted me was to ask if I'm attending this event. Curious. I never know her intentions, but I'd venture to guess it has something to do with how oh so embarrassed she'd be to have her cripple, childless daughter present. That's not imagined. She's said just that plus more, but the rest is irrelevant to the point I'm trying to make. How on earth did an a truth-loving, caring individual come from her DNA? Clearly, I'm really an adopted pod person.
I know gossip and criticism of me is already circulating. In fact, I just sent my cousin an e-mail explaining just what I shared here about my physical concerns and even proposing we get together soon so I can meet her beautiful little bundle. We're not exactly friends, but I do wish her well and after missing the baby shower because the restaurant was an hour away and not accessible, I still don't want her to feel I don't care. I genuinely do. The problem is, they all get my mother's version of things which is guaranteed to be inaccurate at the very least, but they take it as gospel. Then there's the issue of widespread, mean-spirited gossip that runs rampant in this group of relatives. Crazy thing is, false and even mean gossip about me often makes its way to be somehow. I no longer take any of it to heart, but it doesn't make me any less uncomfortable pretending to like or respect certain family members. I certainly don't feel welcome around them.
Wow. I sent that e-mail to my cousin just before I started to type this, and I can see that my aunt/her mother is already calling my mother. That's pretty funny and not at all surprising! I'm a little bothered that inaccurate info about me circulates, but they aren't really my family. G-d has provided me a great family. We don't share blood, but it's clear we were chosen to be a part of each others lives. Unfortunately, we're all pretty far apart geographically, but I have a closer, more meaningful relationship with them than I ever had with many of the relatives I have by blood or marriage. I'm very blessed.
That said, may G-d bless this baby girl all through her life with health, happiness and love. I haven't met her yet, but know she'll be capable of anything she sets her mind to.

Believe it or not the benefits of fasting are plenty even though we sometimes have a hard time abstaining from food for more than a few days. Click on the picture above and read on the great benefits fasting and cleansing can have on the body. While out bodies were made with the greatest precision by the Creator and we have cleansing organs it is still very healthy to try a 3 to 5 day juice cleanse, or you may even opt for the 10 day Master Cleanse in which you have no food or drinks except for the "lemonade" from the cleanse recipe, water and herbal tea for a full ten days. The first few days of a fast or cleanse are the hardest and make you feel the worst because our bodies are getting rid of the toxin within us, however after the first two or three days you have a refreshed feeling and great energy. There are people that shouldn't cleanse or fast however so if you are pregnant or nursing, have diabetes, or any other health problems please consult your physician before beginning any cleanse or fast. Check out the article it has some amazing information and will encourage you to begin cleansing.

Musk Used Bowie Classics In Space Launch
Written by RockSport on February 15, 2018
Entrepreneur Elon Musk successfully launched his new space rocket, the Falcon Heavy, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on 6th Feb.
With twice the launch power of any existing rocket, SpaceX's Falcon Heavy has sent Musk's beloved midnight cherry Tesla Roadster car into space with a space-suited dummy named Starman – in a nod to Bowie's 1972 anthem – in the driving seat.
Bowie's seminal 1971 song 'Life on Mars?' was used to soundtrack a promotional animated video that was premiered a day before the flight.
The Tesla and its space-suited Starman passenger have been sent into an elliptical orbit around the Sun that reaches out as far as the planet Mars.
The convertible car will now be playing David Bowie's pre-Apollo 11 song 'Space Oddity' – a song about an astronaut who is lost forever to the void of space – on repeat for its billion year elliptic Mars orbit.
A relatively low cost launch thanks to the recovery and reuse of the Falcon Heavy's boosters, multi-billionaire Musk hopes the launch will be a game-changer.
"It'll be game-over for all other heavy-lift rockets," he said. "It'll be like trying to sell an aircraft where one aircraft company has a reusable aircraft and all the other companies had aircraft that were single-use where you would parachute out at your destination and the plane would crash-land randomly somewhere.
"Crazy as that sounds – that's how the rocket business works."

The Keeping Quilt
I got out a quilt because the nights were starting to get just a touch chilly. Although the cat had abandoned the bed (and me) when I moved rooms, she's suddenly back like she'd never left. I think she hates the wool blanket!
It took me about twelve years, off and on, but I finished this quilt in 1998. And yes, I use it, because it is truly a scrap quilt, not a priceless high quality one.
The book: This is a touching story of a family heirloom passed down for about a century through a Jewish immigrant family. The quilt is made of the Russian family's dresses, shirts, aprons, etc., and is used with love throughout life in America. Patricia Polacco's trademark art highlights the tale.

Dear friends. How are you? I hope all of us are in our best state of health. I really don't know what to do right now since I've just ceased studying. Perhaps this'll be the longest holiday I'll ever meet. Can you share the sadness I've been feeling after being expelled by the college? The college doesn't need me any longer. I've to say farewell to my friends and teachers though I don't really want to. It's suffocating in here. But I guess things just can't change and it's natural selection to be chased out of college in a polite way-graduation. hehe. This also means that my next destination is UK. InsyaAllah.

In this session, I want to say few perspectives of mine. This is a true story. It's indeed a simple issue that anyone could follow and think logically. Nevertheless, simplicity kills the mind. People just don't find way to deal with simplicity when they're used to complexity. This is a story of me. And several of my friends. It involves both sexes. It may touch the boundary of love and relationship. But that might not be discussed in here. I'm talking about how the eyes see and perceive accordingly when fallacy in judging surpassed the power of knowledge.

As a starting point, I'd loved to quote a hadith. Yes! Evidence ranks no 1 in anything. Everyone knows that. Hadith Sahih is more than enough to witness the truth right? And so it goes :

"Sesungguhnya seseorang itu akan mengerjakan sesuatu dari amalan penghuni syurga sehingga jaraknya antara amalan itu dengan syurga hanyalah sehasta, lalu dia didahului oleh ketetapannya, lalu dia mengerjakan sesuatu amalan dari penghuni ahli neraka, maka dia pun memasuki neraka itu" hadith riwayat Bukhari.

"Sesungguhnya seseorang itu akan mengerjakan sesuatu dari amalan penghuni neraka, padahal dia tergolong dalam penghuni syurga. dan seseorang yang lain akan mengerjakan sesuatu amalan ahli syurga, padahal dia tergolong penghuni neraka. Dan sesungguhnya amalan itu dikira yang terkahir daripadanya." Riwayat Bukhari.

Firstly, I am sorry because there are no arabic version of the hadith due to my weakness in typing them in arabic. But I assure you that both hadiths can be found in the book of 'dosa-dosa besar' by Imam Az-Zahabi.

The meaning of the hadith may give you a cue about what I'm going to talk about. All of us want the best in life. Good mate, good children, good life, good knowledge, good upbringing, good reputation, good status and every goodness you can mention. It's been a norm to hear that religious parents want their sons to marry 'solehah' wives. On the contrary, the rich wants his child to marry a mate from a family of quite equal status as he possesses regardless of his or her religious and righteous belief. This segregation is blatant. Anyone from any tribe can sense this.

I personally think that everyone should be given equal chance of being treated. Yes, I do have many friends of different background. Since I was a kid, I befriend with good ones. When I say good, it automatically refers to good islamic practice and knowledge. Even in school, my friends also understood islam and practice it as their way of life. However, when I stepped into the college, I met real people from different spectrum of origins. Believe me they really don't even know how to recite doa, the simplest form of mukmin guardian.

Religious peers continued to glance at those who weren't brought up by their parents in islamic way as parasites. While at the same time, these so-called 'parasites' prefer to mix with themselves rather than finding common point between both groups.

I myself do have a perspective. While our parents want the best for us, only Allah knows what is the 'best'. Is the 'best' simply marrying a girl with tudung whom resembles a good muslimah? Theoretically, as being taught since our childhood, yes it may seem true. Let's modify some of the parameters to see whether the theory fits the real world situation. How if our future wife-to-be lack in the knowledge about islam? And we know the fact that her family didn't nourish her well in islamic culture. Now comes the big question. Can a good muslim marry this kind of lovely and kind-hearted lady who actually has the very slightest tendency to embrace real islam? Tendency is a form of possibility. Can a possibility turn into probability? Of course yes! Good minds always grasp positive side.

I believe my own parents won't simply allow me to marry such a girl. However, let's look back at what the hadith says. No matter how good we are in life, the importang thing is what we are in the end. The same applies to this situation. No matter how bad and evil we were in our past, Allah is still forgiving and hidayah is His. Who are we to judge who are 'ahli syurga' and who are 'ahli neraka'. This is too feeble to speculate and spectate. It's god's will. Let's stop branding people. Stop doing the sins of grabbing Allah's right to locate His slaves whether in hell or heaven. I'm afraid that this small attitude of ours will swallow all the good deeds we did throughout the life.

Dear friends. Let's change. We all did commit sins either big or small. The point is we still did. Let's stop isolating the 'parasites'. Stop this ever entangling chain of customary on our neck. It's time to start. Start giving people hope. Hope to join the goods. Hope to hop into the heaven. Hope to hope for blessings and forgiveness. May Allah give us strength to lead and may Allah open up their hearts to be led.

Salam dear readers....

I'm not sure whether there are still followers of this blog since it has been abandoned for at least half a year. wow!!! but today, I feel like posting something. actually, I haven't had my bath yet and the time now is 12.30. but, it's just me that can't do anything else if my head as if is about to blow with words and tragedies. Wahhh, this blog seems to be rusty. Is it still alive?? helllooo.. ohhh, it still barks.. bark?? a dog barks.. whatever.. hmm, perhaps it's better for me to introduce slight changes to my way of writing, isn't it? let's make this blog simpler yet vibrant with colourful stories and sharing. :)

yesterday, my mom asked us, the whole family to attend a forum by Dr Asri. it is not an obligation actually. but that custom of attending any beneficial talk has oozed in the whole community of Taman Melewar especially. can u imagine in one day, my parents go to an average of two religious talks!!! (I'm not included..) the neighbourhood here seems to be lost in ecstacy of finding knowledge and knowledge everyday. everyone is talking about this sunnah, that hadith, this ibadah and that JAIS. opss.. what an ideal society I wish to live in! oh oh.. this story deviates too much..

back to dr asri forum.
upon reaching there, we were quite puzzled. everyone looks like politicians, dato and datin, and any kind of superior figure U can name. "does this looks like there will be a religious forum here?", a famous question appears. I can barely see women with scarf, yet most of the men wore songkok. marriage ceremony?? my mom confirmed the event and the venue by asking one of the datin-look-alike. she replied yes! oh, we then just entered the hall. waiting for about half an hour, then Dr Asri arrived. but there was no announcement made regarding his coming. the tragedy doesn't come yet!

the man of the ceremony still didn't show up but the forum started as planned on time. once the forum was about to start, I look around. the majority of the audience was women! and makcik-makcik corporate I guess. I skimmed through the pamphlets and the books given. haha. the title of the forum was 'peranan wanita wirawati wiranita and apebenda tah dalam perjuangan menegakkan.....ntah..agama bangsa kot'. for one thing I was sure, there was a book entitled 1 Malaysia given along. oooooo. political talk?? hmm, I mustered a dissatisfaction. and I texted Haqq.. (Haqq likes politic..haha).. but wait! the amusement hasn't started yet. I intrigued to listen to how Dr Asri would respond and elaborate the title. and it wasn't definitely a forum!! Dr Asri was the only panel.

15 minutes..
girls and women...stories about aisyah and so on..

30 minutes..
women roles...

1 hour..
I didn't fall asleep!! What a magic!! :) Dr Asri was so great in delivering his thoughts. I didn't expect that much from him but it turned out well. In my sight, I might say that the event was a part of UMNO programs. though, Dr Asri presence appeared to dominate the air by making the event neutral and free from any political spectrum. That was fun. I hate politics. :)

oh, I forgot to tell about the tragedy. it is also a sunnah. a coincidence perhaps to practice what the Melewar and other muslim communities have been learning through all this time. when the honoured man arrive in the middle of the forum, quite half of the audiences rose as a token of respect. I was quite panicked and doubtful whether to join the half or remained seated. I did learn that we, muslims can't rise when honourable figures arrive as a respect because human are all the same. the utmost respect is solely for Allah. but it was a relief because the strength of the audiences is balanced by the other half remained seated. huhu. Sunnah survived. the honoured man shook the hands of my father who sat in the corner of the row while my father was still sitting!! Don't u think that u'll be imprisoned if u were in the historical times like what had happened to ibnu taimiyah, imam malik and so on just to defend the truth and fact??? waahhhh... the world is crawling from its darkness I guess... :)

One more thing, during the forum, there was a chinese muslim asking about the infringement of power and roles by ulama' rather than politicians in running the country. Dr asri simply replied that there are 3 kinds of ulama' : 1)those who always praise what politicians do 2)those who always critics what leaders do 3)those who think forward and assist umara' in managing the citizens and provide them with advices and knowledge. :) He also suggested that UMNO should create an ulama' body consisting of the latter kind of ulama' who think forward critically in order to strengthen its organisation. His principle of advocating the people to choose ulama' not basing on 'colours of party' but their mind, was really inspiring and solid. cool !!! will there be the time when I can be such resolute and determined in sticking to the truth?. I wonder.......

This sharing is too long I guess but I just can't stop this hand from pouring what has been swirling around my head since yesterday. next time, I may tell shorter version of story that is not too lengthy and elaborated. thanks for reading and don't forget to smile today!!! :)

Assalam is one of my preferred word because Jibril used to send his regard to Aisyah through Muhammad S.A.W, our prophet with the word: "Assalam". Therefore once again,

Assalam dear readers,

Actually, I'm aware that this blog has been over-excessively too inactive and unresponsive at all since the last sem. I always wished that I would stop by to drop something here by no time but it seemed to be unreal somehow since I was extremely lazy back then. So lazy and sluggish to write what spinned about in my head and keep waiting for virtual spell-it-out machine which could write for me-none till now thank god. WOW! I'd turned into a lazy maniac now who keept wishing that the time would stop even for a couple of blinking giving him some space to rest-crazy me. Being drowsy lazy SNORLEX for this recent entire sem really makes me looked very appalling. I'm currently feeling like deriding myself in front of the mirror. I hope I'll find no mirror by the time I successfully post this rubbish sheet-at least there's a rubbish to drop by would be o.k. right? :)

I'd gained lots of events to share indeed. But I just had too much to tell and so I anticipated it to be too lengthy then that I decided not to post at all. Huhu. But tonight at 2.23 a.m, apparently I don't have anything meaningful to post, yet getting extra energy out of nowhere forcing these fingers to keep fiddling about this keypad. Oh, I looked so pathetic perhaps this time but still I want to share tonight experience of reading through an atheist's freethinking idea via his own secretly established website-it was hoped that none of his family members would be able to find it yet got revealed anyhow after a quite long time being locked in the safety box.

I'm still shocked with his revealing testimony about his momentous fight for his right to choose whether to believe in Allah(whom he used to pray to since his childhood yet got deviated somehow at an unpredicted turning point in his life) or not, in a way that he still respects other muslim's and other religion believers' practices but desperately seeking his own right and perspective to be accepted and respected. Nauzubillahiminzalik.

I'm not sure whether his path was too feeble to reach the truth or too massively endowed with knowledges and theories that caused him to make the decision to turn away from Islam in the end. In my view, his arguments were too solid to be blunted while our friends' one were quite shallow to surpass his absolute killing principle-which he believes in no god that we used to believe in and that makes our god ordains were strictly too far to be accepted by him. It's just all about agnostic and atheism which we'd always prayed to be saved from before,now and forever. InsyaAllah.

It's not his issue that I want to highlight but just look at how had he emboldened me-indirectly-to post something tonight. It's a miracle-a fabulous one to get me writing again. Maybe some of the readers here had lost his/her interest in following this blog series and I'm not forcing anyone to read though, but it's just something I'd liked everyone to know that it's not an easy task to write for we're responsible on each and every single post we made throughout this life. These will also be the evidence to drag us head over heels to hell if we're denying the truth and thrusting forward empty shits as a menu to serve the taste of the readers.

Being aware of how well presented our 'enemies'* pieces of very promising good-for-nothing ideas and just how good they were at swinging about their ruthless swords of sharp wordy thoughts, I would feel ashamed of myself for not continually pouring on some gifted knowledges on this piece of space which could benefit my own brothers and sisters for the sake of a more real islamic-oriented understanding and approaches in da'awah.

*enemies-I choose this word because Allah used to warn us that Al-kafirin is 'aduwwallahi wa'aduwwakum in His holy Quran with the meaning that they(kuffar) are Allah's enemies and your(muslims') enemies too.

Jazakumullah for reading. Till then.

Wassalam.

Today, I am so happy.. I guess most of you will be exhilarated on your date day right?? Here goes the beautiful story of mine and please bear with it till the end..

As being planned, I woke up at 9.30 and did what should normal people do before going out. After putting my lens on, the bus suddenly appeared right in front of my gate (my house location is so strategic that even bus driver wants to pass by it). Wahhhhh!!! I hurried frantically without having my lens properly installed in my left eye. When I say wahhhhhh!!!!, it means I am screaming ok.

Oh, I forget to tell that this is a group date lead by our die hard dedicated and committed planner..(I don't want to mention him because his name is far too expensive that even this famous-to-be opportunity offered in my blog couldn't afford its price..=p)..Hmm, as usual, I came on time. When I say on time, it simply means the net time agreed after considering Malay Promise (Janji Melayu), one of our national notorious traditional culture..

Since story won't have an end, then I'll help you guys cutting all the unnecessary parts so that you will still be loyal in reading my date story..Sorry to say, unfortunately the group date was canceled at the very last minute while I was already right there in the center of the center of Mid Valley.

Yeay, it's good to see nobody there because I had my hair cut 15 minutes before and it turned out to be so awful..With this reason, I tried to persuade my heart not to cry. But my heart was just too fragile that I can't stand the pain anymore.. I threw my phone with all the strength left from last night supper and fiercely stepped on the planner's face picture-in the middle of the shoppers' path.. Just kidding la!

I gave some phone calls to my friends and 'partner' thanking them for not coming-sarcastisme..I was not mad and thought that I could just shop and do my stuff alone..But, I was still wondering why the plan had to be called off out of a sudden? Of course there was no other answer than the only absolute solid reply: sorry, I was overslept till the noon..sorry sorry.......

I was so disappointed with my partner (this is not true also! since I am the type that is not serious in relationship..=p).. I decided to purchase a lot of food to reduce this stress. People say that the stress can be passed on to the food when we eat so the division of stress could occur. Fail. I walked fastly to leave the stress behind. It still followed me. Fail. I tried to wrap the stress in the tissue and throw it into the dustbin. Fail. Suddenly,,,,,,,

I turned into a green incredible Haqq..ops Hulk and started a rampage destroying the South Court of the mall..

Wrong!!! The real story is: suddenly,,,,

My partner popped out of nowhere with a friend who is also a friend of mine giving me a big surprise..Can you imagine how I felt when the love we raised together finally proved that my doubt towards its existence along this while is totally unaccepted. We smiled to each other and did..........sorry, this part should be censored so that underaged won't perceive and imagine aimlessly..

The three of us then continued our day with a new smiling face on each of us..(we just don't live happily ever after la like in Cinderella story because we have to separate at last to get to our own home...don't watch too much fantasy ok!)

For your sake, I cordially put the pictures of my partner and friend that I used to spend my time with today....jeng3

 ~me and partner-a lame boy, but muhrim la~

 ~me and the super cute friend~

p/s : Love your true friends for the sake of Allah for they are the happiness that will cherish your life..=pStabilo Solehhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171434306526490695.post-25675287800313751922009-03-09T09:56:00.000-07:002009-03-09T21:28:41.526-07:00Miracle of late piggy and monkey.....

<o:p> </o:p>

Assalamualaikum dear brothers and sisters. May God bless the readers of the truth who always spare the time finding the source of admonition to rekindle their spirit of jihad from time to time(I don't include my writing as the 'truth' ok! It's just my prayer for you…=p). It has been so long that this blog's voice hasn't been heard to deliver the messages. The one who is responsible for this abandonment is me myself who has been carried away by the spectrum of ignorance.

Oh, speaking about ignorance, I recalled one of our prophet's hadith about the signs of the Dooms Day. For simplicity, since this was written at 1.12 am, let me just proceed with the general meaning of the content. Our Prophet Muhammad has portrayed part of the human in the end of the world age as to be like monkeys and pigs. This clearly has got nothing to do with the physical attributes of the mankind himself, but it merely resembles the depiction that was tried to be conveyed about their behaviours which they exhibit to the rest of the world community entirely.

<o:p> </o:p>

 Why have the words monkeys and pigs been choosen? Aren't they too harsh and derisive towards the believers themselves? Wait! Who says our Prophet was talking about the believers? The promises which had been made by Allah and his Apostle about the goodness which will be received by the believers always remain as a guarantee that they will be safe hereafter. The depiction of those detested animals only constitutes those who are not choosing the already-existed way of life that is always being taught and reminded by the messenger in the Quran and his hadith.

<o:p> </o:p>

  Monkeys are always playful monkeys regardless how cute they are from your own personal view. Today, we are not trying to insult the monkey since it is one of the creature as well. However, their playful attribute is becoming our topic of discussion because this has diffused into the souls of us which cause Moslems to become an insulted community from the point of view of the non-believers. Yes, being teasers and joke breakers are not the main problem. Yet, during the session of critical and serious discussion of religious study, ceaseless efforts are tried to make the topic as a material to collapse others into convulsion. The seriousness that we lack in has severed and this will continually weaken us and surely tarnish the sacred image of this lovely ad-din bit by bit.

<o:p> </o:p>

 Is there any of you who rear pigs? Of course no one will raise his hand for sure because none of their parents would get the source of income from selling those pinkish animals. At least, for one thing that we could realize is pigs are the epitome of ignorance. If you walk across their group, each will just neglect your presence unless you deliberately bully them, then just don't hope for a second life chance free from pigs ok!

 Hmm, what is obvious nowadays is that people don't seem to have a keen on the global crisis that seize our neighbouring countries, Palestine, Iraq, Acheh and others which their citizens suffocate every single moment hoping for the miraculous helping hand from their own relatives of Islam. While we are complaining about the trivial matters and wasting as many as we can, they are equipped with tears and blood waiting and praying for the return which no one would know how long would it need to reach them. Although donations and collections are claimed to be given from vast branches, they're still not enough to wipe their bloodshed away from their own piece of land which they are protecting for from yahudi laknatullah. We won't feel their misery until we taste by our own tongue the sweat and blood of jihad against the enemy of God.

<o:p> </o:p>

 Oppsss, too long la my friend. Actually, I just plan to write a brief piece tonight, but for no reason would I realize that this has dragged so much. Anyhow, I hope that this single piece about a very simple advice will become a mirror for us to reflect ourselves. My ignorance to this medium of daawah reminded me back about a long time ago kuliah which I heard about the hadith of depicting the late ummah as pigs and monkeys. Whether the hadith is genuine or not, would be my pleasure to confirm it back later, but for one thing that we can take is that the reality which lies within this message is undeniable. So, think about it dear ulil albab.

 Wassalam and jazakallahu khoir.....

 Yesterday, as usual, that evening I went to the mosque to perform asar prayer. Everything seemed to be normal but I sensed the atmosphere had changed a bit. The what is vague that I couldn't figure it out very well. After completing my responsibility, my eyes were driven towards the notice board that it said there would be a yaasin recitation held by a citizen that day. I was intrigued whether the host is going to Mecca for going on a pilgrimage or maybe it was an invitation to a feast.

 This morning, I followed my father to the mosque again for subh prayer. Usually, I find it's quite hard to wake up early but recently, I guess a spirit has been given a privilege to have a sovereign on me that I even follow my dad to perform subh prayer at the mosque. It was peculiar that there were more than five lines of people bowing down and prostrating together to Allah. The air was really different from before. Is that too long that I hadn't return to home or is it just me who thought too much.

 Normally, dad leaves the mosque early once completing the task because he has to go for work afterwards. I waited at the parking site on our motorcycle. Several minutes later, everyone was passing through the gate one by one but I couldn't even see my dad's shadow. Weirdly, the Jamaah was heading towards a house. Not to be watched waiting for nothing, I just followed the stream. I heard many shapeless sound and I couldn't focus on what they are talking about. Upon reaching the house, I finally got the idea from some whispering sound that I eavesdropped. It was striking me to hear that Haji Hashim was dead last night.

 At its house, everyone searched for a place to sit and was ready to recite yaasin for the deceased. Here I found my dad and we sat together. Yaasin recitation was led by an imam but I was hesitant whether to recite it or not. I have learnt before that the recitation would not reach the deceased and I was quite sure that the knowledge I possessed was from believable sources. I observed my dad's mouth continually saying something but I was sure that it was not yaasin. Between culture and knowledge, I hardly chose just to recite some good prayers for the dead while reminding myself about the death. (Refer to 'Fathul Bari' book written by al-imam ibnu hajar al-asqalani or many other great books by our prominent and respectful imams about this topic for further information)

 The good deed of an Adam's son is cut off except for three things:

 1.His prolonged sadaqah that is left behind

 2.Prayers by GOOD sons and daughters

 3.The useful knowledge that was shared along his life

 To my friends, yes, theoretically we can say that we have 40 to 50 years more left to get prepared to return to the sole Allah. However, always remember that time is also a creation of the God that it will somehow be perished out of our knowledge. Today, we may have a personal driver bringing us in a big car but tomorrow we might have the 'drivers of Allah' carrying us in a big coffin heading for the cemetery. Today, we might want others to follow our direction but tomorrow we may end up being directed towards the only path which is a new and only eternal life.

 Allah is fair and just that He grants us with chances to choose. The chances are scattered all along our avenue but due to our blinded eyes, deafened ears and stupefied heart, we rarely want to pick the chances up NOW. When the time has came, then it will be a sign that the room to choose is no longer exist and we won't find the returning way back forever and ever. Remember that death is the next destination! Whether we want to move straight or backward, death will still await for us to step on it.

Wassalam.

Today, I am a perfect timer. I wake up at four. I revise endless notes by the economics teacher and do various patterns of maths questions. I go to classes on time and remind the teachers when they have gone over the period. I make great rate of steps when jumping from one class to another making full use of the 5 minutes interval. I also allocate my time for hanging out with friends and doing sports so as to soothe this tired mind after a long way of studying. I manage my nap properly in order to regain the spirit after awakened back to normal. I am very rigid about time and hardly persuaded to waste my time restlessly. I think my schedule would cost a million dollars or at least I may win the nobel prize for the most efficient man. Because of this, when a friend asks me to the mosque with him, I simply reply "emm...it would take LESS TIME if we just perform the prayers alone in our ROOM, wouldn't it??"

Today, I am a genius mathematician. I complete my 30 questions homework with very organised and explicit steps in just 15 minutes and get all of them right. I help my friend dealing with hard calculations in an instance. I sometimes lead my teachers who have gone astray when solving complicated calculations back to the correct one. I don't need calculator to solve large numbers multiplication and division task. I apply statistics in making decision related to probabilities. I become the focus of every vantage point because of this wits. However, I neither COUNT HOW MUCH SINS that I've done today nor assess my own self before sleep to become a better person tomorrow.

Today, I am a good companion. I ask my best friend to accompany me asking the teachers about lessons that I'm not really clear about. I like to borrow the money from my best friend and promise to pay him back later. I always force my best friend to go along with me to the cafe when I myself am hungry. I always win when we are having a debate or discussion about something. For most of the time, I always get the chance to use my best friend's book when both of our needs arise simultaneously. My best friend always become the place of referral when I'm having a problem or anger to release on, and he always come out with a satisfying solution. My best friend never hate me even though I always impose of his kindness and badger him in some way that I myself detest if I were in his shoe. But today, when my own best friend tries to save me from swerving into wrong path by giving me advices, I undoubtedly say "WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG??"

Today, I am a noble man. I pray in congregation 5 times a day. I have a vast knowledge of religious issue and matters for I have read various reference books written by prominent great ulama'. I constantly fast every Monday and Thursday without even a miss. I'm always present in many admonition-giving events about the authentic way of life. When I see a man in need, without any further ado I lend him my hand up to what I am capable of. I always protect my aurah and don't wear unnecessary or too flamboyant garments in front of the public. I always remember in my head to preserve the way I behave and socialize with the same or different gender as me. However, when I encounter my own brother in Islam who is committing the wrong because of the lack in exposure about this ad-deen he got, I always feel that I am GOOD ENOUGH to be a moslem. (For our information, Ibnu Qayyim had said in his book entitled 'Talbis Iblis' (the bind of Satan), "for those who feel comfortable with his good deeds or think that they are good enough as they have done countless of god's order, actually they don't realize that they have been bound by the malevolent Satan".)

Today, let's judge ourself whether the 'I' has seeped into our soul or not because sometimes we are not really conscious about what is happening to our own body. To oppose from being one of 'I' members, we need an enormous energy that can fence us from its danger. One way of achieving this energy is to move in a group (or so-called JAMAAH) consisting of highly alert members who can continually grab us back from falling into the trap of Satan. Jamaah is very important as it will become a strong reinforced barriers to us against myriad of challenges. The choice of becoming what we want lies in our hand, thus use this hand correctly to change today and the subsequent remaining days.

For this moment, I think this is quite enough to compensate back the days I've been abandoned this blog. Before I finish off, since we're still in this Raya month, I want to recommend a business of zero advance but with an infinity yield. I call it plan 1+6 which is better than celcom family plan 1+3. It is about to add on another 6 days of fasting in this Syawal after 1 month of challenging Ramadhan. InsyaAllah the payback will become uncountable with a condition that we perform it sincerely to the sole Allah. There is no better business other than business of Allah. Wassalam.

Today is Friday. A complete week of my holiday has oozed away unconsciously. Time never stop running. Wind rarely stop blowing. Even a heavy big MPV just sometimes stall for a while waiting for the green light. Weirdly, my last week's behaviour seems not progressing at all. Perhaps it does move a bit-backwards. Everyday, my watch starts at 11. Once awakened, I never missed hoping that tomorrow would be no more eleven. But, tomorrow's still repeat today's as if there is a microchip that likes to store this unwanted memory.

I am a scholar. My duty is to learn anything required for me to get into an oversea university. My sponsor gave me a lot of money to buy books. I bought many as being told to. To make it short, if the library doesn't open, you can come over to my place-to read only, no borrowing is allowed. I did carry them miles away to this house for this holiday. Can u imagine the fatigue costs me a day sleep. However, up to this moment, I never touch them. Oh no no. I remember touching them once-my mother asked me to move them away from her sight during cleaning the house. Maybe this is their fate that their presence is being ignored. Even my cats-I mean stinky cats whom their shit can be seen sticking to their tails-get the love and touch from me. Books must now envy of cats. Argghh...whatever. Still, I hate this part of mine. Really hate.

This afternoon, I went to the mosque for Jumaat prayer by foot-not as usual where I normally ride my motorbike. The sun was very merciful and nice today-maybe because tonight will be the 27th night of ramadhan-that it didn't shine so brightly. Alhamdulillah. Though, I still felt sad because nobody wanted to offer me a free ride. In my heart, I prayed that a friend would pass by so that I could....as you know. From the smallest Kancil to the biggest van, no one was willing to lend me a seat. I could still recall a van owned by my neighbour-he didn't look at me at all. Huh. Did I, a teen moslem who wore a pant and t-shirt(not tight OK), look really bad to be trusted?? Maybe because the man didn't recognize me. I continued walking. Just after 5 meters journey, his van broke down. In the bad side of mine, I wanted to laugh actually. No lah. Just kidding. I slowed down my pace, intending to do a favour. He didn't even give a glance on me. Huh. I just headed to the mosque. Bye2 old man!!! This is what we called 'neighbourood'.

Anyway, there was still a good heart that I found. Just 1 minute away from the mosque, a man stopped by and offered me to get into his car. Actually, the dome could be seen clearly from that place, but for giving him a chance of doing good deed, I just hopped into his MPV. That's the end of Jumaat story-not at all actually, because during the way back, I succeeded completing the whole track using this feet. Sob3. Anyhow, still thanks to Allah for this irreplaceable foot and nice weather.

From this nonsense story, I just want to emphasize on a merely simple thing. During this ramadhan, tonnes of moslem formally want to top their iman up by giving alms to the poor or slipping the coins into the money box. This is basically called 'sadaqah'. However, they don't realize that they can actually give 'sadaqah' by just performing simplest good deed of giving free ride to the walkers who are heading for a good place. Isn't it what had been taught by our Prophet??

Wallahua'lam, may this simple sharing benefits us in order to become a better ummah. The key that distinguishes between men is the knowledge. However, amongst the knowledgeables, the only absolute difference lies in how much they utilize their knowledge to benefit their own selves to the fullest. Wassalam.

p/s : Dear beloved readers, don't forget to give simple 'sadaqah' by feeding this blog again with your comments and spreading it to the nearest friends of yours.Stabilo Solehhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171434306526490695.post-43903940661732803962008-09-24T21:59:00.000-07:002008-09-25T02:00:08.070-07:00A life has just began....

  Last year, I started to know about blogging from a friend of mine. Blogging is a world where anyone can live on without any limitation and hesitation to write, give opinion, share knowledge, post criticism, outline objection and even making boundless jokes and pranks. I could see others' smiles, sorrow, happiness, anger and thousands of feelings and emotions running through their lines of words. Since then, i realized why people do blogging and keep it up-to-date from time to time for it resembles the satisfaction of spurting their own hidden shouts which could only echo deep through their heart.

 Last month, I did ask my peers to teach me how to start blogging since I am not used to this modern tool. This intention born after reading countless of deep-touching creative pieces of writing. I personally do hate writing, but I come to realize that blogging is totally a distinct alternative way of relieving what are trapped in ourselves which make our life mundane and far from serene livelihood. However, no one shows up to help me settle with this. Everyday, I get into www.blogger.com without any improvement. I didn't even remember my passwords for it had been too long that I didn't visit my own page. I became discouraged to continue with this crappy things. My will to do blogging faded away as light went off that night.

 Last week, I continued my life as usual. But i didn't think that my day improved to become better than yesterday. Everyday I feel the same thing going on and on. Just like days,weeks and months before, I still read others blogs and still impressed by the way they managed to present their pieces effectively. I was emboldened after reading about da'wah islamiyah and seeing the real lives of moslems all around the world. I laughed after reading some crazy blogs blabbering about nonsense trivial matters. My eyes opened wide after reading today's political issues which complicate the whole process of countries' development. Suddenly, I felt a pat on my shoulder coming from a friend who was doubting what intrigued me since awhile ago. That was the starting point of a new change. The meaningful pat of hope enlightened my spirit back to write. I know that I was meant to write someday. I will write. Writing a magic piece that millions will read momentarily.

 Today, I get the pen. I can now write freely. My blog is already existed. Men live on food. Cars live on fuel. Plants live on sunlight. This blog??Of course this blog lives on your commitment to read. This blog has now became a living tool once I post this. This means that it needs to survive once have been given a life. So, your reading is his food. Your comments will cherish him deeply. Your click on this page really means a lot for him to be awakened from a long sleep. Dear new visiting readers, do support him by giving your full commitment and enthusiasm by treasuring him daily.

 Now, I want to publish this post. I have now became a new young blogger. Can I commit writing more after this?? InsyaAllah, I will if I still can benefit this finger executing more good deeds and sharing more useful thoughts. My apology if this first shootout lacks in many variant essence. I hope that I can write a more sensible piece tomorrow and so on. That's all for now. Barakallah fiik. Wassalam

By Paul Bartlett
During a recent interview on MPR (05-11-05), Pawlenty stated that he would support a continuation of Limit Market Value (LMV), contradicting his prior position that LMV should be phased-out as scheduled.
LMV is an arcane property tax law that shifts the tax burden from
individuals who have realized the greatest actual or potential capital gain to individuals who have not been so fortunate. It is a scam. It is a disgrace. And, it has created what is possibly the most inequitable property tax system in the country. LMV is Minnesota's version of reverse Robin Hood, where we "take from the poor and give to the rich."
If you own a house that has not kept pace with the inflationary trend, or even worse, if you own a new house, your property tax is likely about 50% higher than it would be without LMV. Your excess tax pays the subsidy to the LMV recipients. LMV violates the intent of Article 10 of the Minnesota Constitution (requiring uniform tax rates) by tinkering with the underlying assessments. The result: Uniform rates but not uniform taxes.
LMV is scheduled to sunset at the end of 2007. There are multiple bills in the legislature to extend LMV beyond that date, and with Pawlenty's flip flop support, extension is nearly fait accompli. If you are concerned with that old fashion notion of tax fairness, call or write Pawlenty and your state House and Senate members and demand an end to LMV.

My pregnant foster cat arrives today, having a freak out.(12 Posts)
Hey everyone!
So we're fostering a pregnant cat and it's the first one we've ever done. Anyone got any advise for a first time kitty midwife/maternity ward?
Ps I'll definitely post pics don't worry.
How exciting! (And sad of course that someone didn't get her neutered in time)
Cats are pretty good at taking care of themselves, they don't really need a moggie midwife. Make sure she has a few safe bed options to have her kittens, and block off any areas which would cause you major annoyance if she decided to have them there i.e. under the bed etc.
Give her plenty of good food so she has some reserves, and when she does eventually have them just keep an eye that she seems content and is fussing over them. Stuck kittens don't often happen with domestic cats, but if she is particularly young or small you may want to watch out for this. She is likely to have them all in a fairly short period of time (overnight in my experience).
Good luck! We're getting a little FIV+ foster on Saturday. I'm very excited!
Oh how exciting for you Luna! Is this your first foster?
this is from our rescues foster group if it posts hope this helps
Life stages of kittens
By Sara Wilkins Atkinson on Friday, March 25, 2016 at 4:13pm
Mum will probably act normally, right up to a few hours before the birth. She may sleep a lot and be less active than one would expect, but some cats play and jump as normal, particularly younger mums. Some cats also eat less in the day or so before the birth. Some cats start to "nest" a few hours before the birth - they find quiet secluded places, such as under beds, at the bottom of wardrobes and behind settees etc. Sometimes they find daft places like on the top of kitchen cupboards. You can help by providing lots of safe places for her - warm boxes with rigid but not high sides (about 8 inches) in secluded places that you can easily get to.
Mum may spend time before the birth frequently licking her bottom, and you may notice some discharge from her vagina, up to 12 hours before the birth. The birth itself is usually trouble-free - usually the kits arrive overnight and the little family is there to greet you in the morning. Most mums choose a box or dark corner, or maybe under a bed or wardrobe, but some have their kittens in full view, on the bed or settee! If you are present at the birth, just watch. Mum will know what to do. The kittens usually come about 30-45 minutes apart but there can also be a gap of several hours, and occasionally a day. Don't remove the soiled bedding for several hours if possible, and it is easier to prepare a clean box and transfer the kittens into it when you do change the bedding. Make sure that the blankets/towels in the bed are folded under so that kittens can't crawl into folds and become separated from mum. We also recommend that you use fleece or towels rather than knitted blankets initially, as newborn kittens can't retract their claws and may get them caught.
omg, I want piccies of kittens as soon as they pop out...!
Sorry no advice, the cats I've known just kind of got on with it. What's there to freak out about? You're doing a kind thing & you're not to blame. All around win.
Far more detailed instructions from issey - definitely follow those!
He won't be our first foster Sentient, as we fostered for a while before we fell in love with Number 10 and decided to keep him. Unfortunately he had to be PTS before Easter (FIV and Chronic Kidney Disease) and the house is just so quiet nad empty without a cat. We have agreed to take a mother and kittens at some point so I do hope we get one just to be able to squee at the kittens
Thank everyone :-) I'm sure I'll be fine we've been reading up about it loads and I feel ready but at the same time nervous.
Well you know that fluffy jumper that you really really love, that goes great with everything and makes you look like a goddess? I'd put that away in a suitcase, inside a concrete filled trunk in a shed at the bottom of a deep lake..... because you know that's what she'll choose to give birth on if you don't
No advice - but best of luck to her and her kittings.
I know Ashwell
We've turned our spare room into a kitty heaven with plenty of boxes and blankets that we don't mind being ruined and she's going to be in there. We have cats of our own that are in the rest of the house.
Our cat delivered on DP's poshest linen jacket. The placentas were like little burgers and she scoffed them. <heave>
Any news on this little lady..... or do you have your hands full of kittings?
Hope everything went/goes OK. I also foster and refused a pregnant one because I was scared that something would go wrong and I wouldn't know what to do and harm might have come to mum or babies.

Wonder if anyone else is having this?
I was having this extended conversation via Gmail in the E-Mail app with my friend on a BlackBerry, I noticed once I got to the later emails, it makes my Pre slower and slower. On my last one, the moment I tap Reply or Reply All, my Pre just freezes. It'll show it's trying to launch a new card for me to type my reply, but it just freezes at the Mail icon, and only way out is a battery pull. This happened on the 10th level of the email chain.
It's heck frustrating, as I was trying to reply to that email, then my friend gave up and called me. Wondering if it's the quote getting too long and locking up the device? It happens even right after I did the battery pull.

HD3000 full acceleration for 10.8
ikbenut replied to marsuss's topic in IntelHi, I have a pavilion g7-1320ed notebook with HD3000 in it (cpu i5-2450M 2,5Ghz ). When i apply the pathc i have QE/CI. The resolution is 1600x900 but the screen is not showing it correctly. I only see the left site of the normal screen (in half as it is), when i change resolution it is also crippled screen. Graphics id = 0126 SMBios8,1
ikbenut started following MS-7616 working and HD3000 full acceleration for 10.8
Sorry for the late reply. I have bios version A7616MLN.107 date 11/03/2009 (it is a medion based bios version)
Attached is my new DSDT file, its optimized for use with the GT240 card with implementation for hdmi sound and onboard sound with the 888 chipset. Only thing now is that i am running LION instead of SL so you may have to search the forum for editing AppleHDA kext or a ready one for the 888 chipset. I had wifi working on SL with the realtek drivers from the manufactor site, search for RTL8191SU. The problem with the blue screen should be over with my DSDT, it had to do something about proper hdmi settings. dsdt.aml.zip
I did try that (already, but didn't mentioned it) and if i turn off wifi before i shut down, i have no problem, but i am not the only one in hour house that uses the mac I want a permanent solution without having to manually turn off wifi.
I have a sitecom wl-352 v2 002 and the drivers from realtek work for me. But when i shutdown lion or put it to sleep (connected with N network) my wifi router isnt working anymore, even with cable connected. When i do a hard reboot of the router everyting is ok. I tested the same situatiion on a linksys G router and everyting is ok. Then i had a linksys wusb600n installed and also connected to N network and that card is working ok. So must be someting in the realtek driver. Anyone had those problems? I think the latest realtek driver for lion isnt that great. With SL i had no problems at all.
No wlan 8192su after update to 10.7.x
ikbenut posted a topic in OSx86 10.7 (Lion)I ran 10.6.8 without any problems with wlan. realtek 8192su chipset. Driver comes from http://www.realtek.c...&Downloads=true , but after upgrade to 10.7.x (now on 10.7.2) no wlan. Driver is present but no go. UPDATE !! Working now, it appeared that i was not starting lion in full 64bit mode. I saw under software "64-bits kernel and extensions: No" When i tried to load the kext manually it was saying something about i386 mode. Changed in boot.plist : <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=X86_64 npci=0x2000 darkwake=0</string> and after restart Wifi pops up
I didn't disable anything in the bios. However i did install SL on an single empty HD. Maybe the difference is the cpu and give u the troubles. U did follow the generic SL install procedure? Boot, install SL on drive, do Updates and then install ###### ,chameleon or chimera with dsdt etc ? If u manage to install SL then booting with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] should work if the installation of ####### (or other bootloaders) failed.
I used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] latest voor SL. The dsdt should be oke for it, but maybe u can ran into problem with ps/2 keyboard or mouse. I didnt do a full clean install with my dsdt, but as u can see in my post i dont have voodoo drivers installed for ps/2.
I have SL 10.6.8 running. First i installed 10.6.3 and then the full update to 10.6.8 , after that i ran ########. Selected my dsdt and FAKEMSC, later i put the ACPIMonitor.kext and SuperIOFamily.kext . Other switches then mentioned in my earlier post aren't there
MS-7616 working
ikbenut posted a topic in DSDT and SSDTHi there, I managed to produce a working dsdt for a ms 7616 motherboard (. Running on SL. File is attached. Machine is Medion Akoya P7330D pc (MD 8552NL) i5 Core 750 4GB internal memory Sleep and speedstep is working. /E/E ACPIMonitor.kext FakeSmc.kext SuperIOFamily.kext Onboard sound is working with latest VooDooHDA 2.7.2 Added "iMac11,1" to /E/E/smbios.plist for proper speedstep etc. Graphics is a nvidia GT 240/512MB, works with GraphicsEnabler=Yes , also KernelFlags "i386 npci=0x2000 darkwarke=0" attached with hdmi to my screen. The only thing i don't get to work is HDMI audio on the nvidia GT 240, maybe someone has an idea ? DSDT.dsl.zip

Well, here I am, on my third day back to work today after a wonderful week and a half of time away with family and friends for the holidays.
We spent Christmas with my side of the family - including my sister and her family who are living in Scotland for a few years - which meant that my parents' house was blissfully (and a bit chaotically) full of eleven people and five cats for a few days. We drove out to them Christmas Eve, after eleven o'clock worship, which put us in around 2 in the morning...hehe. Christmas morning, I got to worship at my home church and to sing with my family before coming home for our traditional Christmas morning breakfast (scrambled eggs, fried potato sausage, another kind of homemade sausage, cardimom bread, yule bread, rye bread, and lots and lots of coffee). We listened to music and leisurely opened presents, and spent the day relaxing together. It was lovely. On the 26th, we had a lazy sleep-in morning and a late breakfast before heading to downtown Chicago for our yearly visit to the Macy's (formerly Marshall Fields) Walnut Room Christmas tree.
Afterwards, we stopped by to visit family friends from our church. The husband is a glass artist, and while we were there, we all got to work with him to make glass icicle ornaments - so much fun! My parents and younger sisters and I have done it before, but it was Matt's first time. It's amazing to be so hands-on - we get to help melt the glass and get to take full responsibility for twisting and pulling the glass into these ornaments. I love having a glass-blowing family friend... :)
On the 27th, Matt and I flew out to New Jersey for a week with his family. We brought Emme with us...which was interesting... She meowed the entire time that we were at the gate, but was quiet during the flight after takeoff. And then we brought her to Matt's house, where she decided that she was NOT interested in hanging out with Daisy, Matt's parents' black standard poodle. We never quite got the two of them to be friends, but we made great progress in at least getting them to tolerate each other.
On the family side of things, we celebrated Christmas and spent time with Matt's grandmother before she flew to California (to visit more family!). We watched The Chronicles of Narnia with Matt's parents (for the first time...we don't watch a lot of movies...shame on us!) and played cards with Matt's sister and her almost-boyfriend. We went out to dinner with Matt's parents to celebrate our anniversary a few days early, and then spent the rest of the evening editing a Wikipedia article about earthworms and what they do in the winter, just because we could (yeah...don't ask.). We spent a lot of time trying to convince the cat to come downstairs and hang out with us (and the dog), and we at a lot of wonderful food. We celebrated our three-year anniversary by going out to dinner at a fabulous restaurant in Princeton called Sotto, and they by stopping into the Princeton Record Exchange for the second time that week to add to our ever-increasing library of CD's.
Matt and I also spent a lot of time with friends of ours. We spent three different evenings hanging out with different permutations of his high school friends, one of those evenings being New Year's Eve, and two of those evenings spent absorbed in the game Puerto Rico, which is perhaps the most complicated game I've ever played. Not difficult, really. Just lots of things to keep track of...and nearly impossible to explain to someone who hasn't played. We also spent time at Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart, the school where Matt worked while we were living in Princeton, where we not only visited with faculty/staff friends, but also with two of our closest friends with whom we went to college and with whom I went to seminary. On our last evening, we drove up to New Brunswick to play pinochle and visit with two of our other closest friends...we played the longest game of pinochle ever (no one could seem to ever make their bid!) and ate delicious homemade chocolate-toffee bars.
We flew back to Chicago-land on Friday, spent the evening with all of the family plus Beth's boyfriend, and spent Saturday enjoying one last day of relaxation and family time (including me baking two king cakes for Sunday's Epiphany celebration here at church!). Look at all of us!
Matt and I had a wonderful break and a blessed time with family and friends this Christmas. Matt commented that this was one of the best Christmases we've had, and I'd have to agree. I'm still trying to get myself back in a normal routine here in Rockford and back at Trinity...it's a slow recovery, admittedly, but I'm making some progress at getting things back on track and organized here. I'm at the end of my PhD applications (three down, one to go), in the midst of writing my 6-month evaluation (Really? I'm halfway done here? That's crazy.), and busy this week with rehearsals for Bach for the Sem. And so January hits the ground running...
So here's hoping that you all had a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year! Let's see what 2008 has in store for us!
