Zis iz english, do you understand?

This is a topic that everyone, I think, should care about. ESPECIALLY Americans and Brits...

I'm sure we've all seen this/heard about it. Here is an example- scenario:
First day of University/Work/School/You name it: A foreigner [Asian/Arab] walks in to class/office.
2 minutes later: The foreigner speaks.
Same moment: Everyone starts either laughing, or talking about her [or rather: her accent] behing her back.
She gets called either  'TEP'/'PAKI'/TERRORIST..etc etdc etc'behind her back [if shes lucky] or to her face [which is oh- so heartbreaking, seriously!]


All this because she may not say the word 'because' exactly how YOU say it. Her 'R's might roll for a while longer. . Whatever the reason, we all admit that we can perfectly understand what she is saying... So why on earth do we laugh? Why do we talk about it for days after? Why all the negativeness?

LOOK, How many Americans & Brits are bilingual/can speak so many languages? HOW MANY??? Some may claim to know French/German/Spanish [GCSE level languages is just a few words-  A Level doesnt make you so fluent either]...but If I were french/German or Spanish I'd laugh at the way THEY roll they're 'r's and pronounce everything.

These people who come to these countries have a language already. AN ENTIRE LANGUAGE.
And guess what?
They've decided to bloody LEARN YOURS just so you can all communicate. THEY are doing YOU  a favor.
If I were them, Id be happy enough using sign language for 5 hours before you understood that I was asking for directions to the nearest bus station. Srsly. 
& If WE hate their accents so much, why don't we just go learn all the languages in the world so we can speak to everyone without having to listen to THEM speak or language? We think we're oh-so big, amazing, and better than them.

And for those who claim that these poeple 'wreck the enligh language', I suggest you go see how all those 'I-am-oH-So-Bad white boys'/Gangsters speak. 'INIT' is not a proper word. & here's a revelation for ya:  Indians did not bring it in! Infact im 99% sure some British kid from South London came up with it.

There are millions of more rubbish words and sentences that would make shakespeare cry in his grave. And I tell you, Asians and Arabs didnt make them up.

So please stop the laughing and start being  a little understanding. These people are not less than YOU in ANY way. In fact, if anything- they're better. They know more than one language, unlike yourself- hah!


Smile:)

P.s I can speak 3 languages and a half XD

All the good thoughts come at bad times

I don't know if this happens with you too-  but when Im all set and ready to put finger to keyboard and start blogging: ALL THE IDEAS I ever had suddenly run away. Its like im playing a game of hide and seek with my memory and thoughts.

Now, when I am set to sleep, ready to take a rest after every exhausting day...I suddenly find myself swarmed with amazing idea/thoughts and plans. Like WTH???!!

This happens so much... SO MUCH that I decided to put a pen and paper next to me when I go to sleep [I started this idea a year ago]. It worked [as do most plans] for about 3 days, I jotted awesome Ideas down and wow-ed everyone including myself.

But then, after 3 days,  I couldn't be bothered getting up and writing in the dark every time an amazing invention/thought crossed my mind ..and so this plan [just like most plans] didn't work out too well. Sadly.
 I feel so UNCOOL right now- There's nothing worthy for me to blog about. Whether its about Islam, Palestine, War, Politics, people.. or any of my random inventions, I have no idea what to say about them.  Goshhhhhhh....I think Im going to take up the 'getting up in the dark and scribbling my idea on to the peice of paper on my sidedesk and withthe pen that only half-works' again... :(

Salaam

I am so busy.

Dammit. I need some free time. One thing I really want to do, once I get a few spare moments, is talk to A'Qilah. 
Another thing would be to...speak to her on mic and to watch her [lmao I sound so creepy, but she has webcam so YAY XD]. I want to speak to her forever. And I wish Allah would give me the courage to not shy away from the mic -rolls eyes-.  Alhamdulilah my whole depression-period over dotu [Dawn of the Ummah- Or as I like to say it: Damnation of the Ummah] has sort of gone now, so I forgive everyone on there [even those who didnt do anything!]. I just hated everyone for what a few people did to me. And when I say everyone, I literally mean everyone. Shame on me! [Note to self: Thats one bad habit I need to remember to throw in the bin]. 

Finally, I'd like to plan..........-almost starts crying-....my future.... -hopeful face- ...which involves going and living in Gaza for ever and ever. Ameen.  
[I added the Ameen because it reminds me of my Catholic Primary school, where we used to say a prayer every morning and before lunch and before going home. All the prayers ended with '[...]  for ever and ever. Amen'. Aw good days:)I can never not add 'Amen' to something ending with ' forever and ever'!!! I guess thats what a good 5 years of saying three  [Catholic hah] prayers a day does to you. Plus its so funny when random people turn their heads at hearing 'Amen' in the middle of a completely far-from-religious conversation heh. I need to shut up]

Btw I was in the middle of writing an essay, got bored [I've been sat doing 4 pages contineously-so boring!] and decided to drop a few words on here. Better go and finish it off. [Note to self: Brace yourself, I have another  essay that I  must start tonight...Arghh...Stay strong and smile, I can do it ...I can do it ...I can do it ..I can SO NOT do it..astagfirullah  InshaAllah]

Smile.

A small rant about 'TIME'. Read if you care about yourself



Well doesn't it seem like im very time-obbsessed today...having posted my new clock invention, and now this.

Before you think this is a "boring lecture about how we should value our time blah blah yawn" ...............well I can't think of anything clever to reply to that, right now, but please read on for your very own benefit.

I was reading something about realising the value of time and it really grabbed me. It started off with 10 years and decreased to the point where it was 'millisconds'. That was my favourite part.
"To realise the value of one millisecond: ask the person who has won a SILVER medal in the Olympics."
 You may not realise it, but we're on earth for a set amount of time. The minute you were born, the stop watch started ticking...and no, not ticking in such a way that you think: '"Oh wow I have lived for 19 years,  2 months, 15 days, 17 hours , 29 minutes and 1 second!"'. Its ticking BACKWARDS, genius. 
Only Allah knows how long we have left..It could be '69 Years and 2 minutes' for some, or '20 seconds' for someone else. And im not exaggerating in any way.  2 people die each second [I researched this!]. TWO each second.
So If it took you 3 minutes to read this post, I hope you realise that 360 people have dropped dead during this time. And who knows, it could be you next.

So please...Make use of your time. Don't ever let yourself be in the position where you are "dying of boredom and have nothing at all to do". The simplest thing you could do, when feeling like that, is make a few duas or say these simple words:
-Alhamdulilah [Thank you, Allah] or -Astagfirullah [Oh Allah I seek your forgiveness]. You cant imagine how much reward you get for them [Research it if you dont know].

Or another really beneficial thing to say when you feel that you have a few minutes to spare is: 'Ash-hadu Ana La Ilaha Ila Allah'/ 'I bear witness that there is no Lord but Allah...'. The more you say the Shahdah/Kalimah/Decleration of Faith now, the easier it will be for your tongue to say it on your death bed: and honestly, if you die saying this then you are the luckiest person ever because it means that Allah is happy with you InshaAllah [No disbeliever/Bad person would be able to say the Shahadah at their deathbed].


Thank you for reading..Im sorry for ranting. 


Smile.

My new invention!!!

I came up with this really amazing idea yesterday, whilst stood in my mums bedroom staring at the clock on the bedside table, stalking the 'seconds' hand as it smoothly brushed by each number and listening to my mum [Im so great at multi-tasking!].


Anyway, since Im so bad at explaining everything, I thought I'd spare you the trouble of having to read my very confusing discription, and just simply draw it on paint for you. [Btw, I doubt it already exists: but if it does...well...you can shoot me or something]

Its basically a 24-hour clock. LITERALLY. 

I think it is useful because...once you get used to it, yuo can easily trace which part of the day youre in.
Plus its pretty cool to look at it before you sleep..stare at it at about 11pm then fall asleep, then when you're awake, take another look and you'll find that  its on the other side '7am'. You'll realise that you spent about a third of the day sleeping  :P If thats useful at all to know...lol. 


I like it. MashAllah. 


Its COPYRIGHT btw, when I have enough money to invest in it, I am going to be oh-so-famous! InshaAllah. :D All money goes strictly to freeing Palestine and Supporting the resistence[J-cough]  in Afghanistan/Pakistan. I can't seem to think of worthier causes...

My bedroom door stands in Solidarity

I bet my door cares more than you.








Oh and I randomly feel like showing you a picture of the other side of my room [Btw my room is not as plain as it looks in these photo's..] 



^Lights

Anyway, here's a closeup of the posters on my bedroom door, enjoy reading and please don't envy me: I don't want to walk in my room in 10 minutes and see they've been ripped up by a jinn or something:


A really good description of everything you'd want to know about The Wall. 



Contains the top brands you should be boycotting..! I stare at this every 10 seconds so you should always come shopping with me to be on the safe side!




A postcard designed to be sent to a supermarket which you see selling israeli goods. I was given about 3 of these. Sent one to Tesco and gave one to my kind devout Catholic next door neighbor. 


All that on MY door. Some Solidarity, eh?

Smile.

I had kids knocking on my door...

... Halloween! One little girl was dressed like a pumpkin, and im probably going to have dreams of me eating her tonight. Her [Im guessing] Brother was dressed as Batman, and he'll probably be in my dream too- attempting to save her or something.

Anyway thats besides the point. I am [not really] ashamed to admit that I really do not know what the purpose of Halloween is [apart from spooking/annoying/begging from your neighbors]. So I asked google and here is what I got:

"Halloween started by the name Samhain for a Pagan festival for the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain."
 Notice: Pagan festival. OMG What is it with all these pagan festivals [Halloween & Christmas]? These going out and dressing like that are mostly Christians, not Pagans :/ Same with Christmas. Do not laugh at me If I start coming up with a conspiracy theory about this all. It really is quite suspicious

Brace yourselves, here's what I also found out:

"Afterwards people from Scottish, Welsh and English carried some versions of the tradition to North America. other western countries have celebrated the holiday as a part of American pop culture."
Lol why am I not surprised to hear this.

Enough said about Halloween...I doubt 1% of those going out 'trick or treating' know the purpose of it. And I bet it only goes on because supermarkets profit oh-so-much from it.

Smiley.

Blogspot wouldn't load

 ...

I tried a -huge number- of times today to get on my blog, or any blog. But anything 'blogspot' related just wouldn't load. 


Sorry for anyone starting to get excited with this, thinking 'Wow so how did this Hero solve it?'. I didn't. I just tried for the -very huge number-th time to get on here, and it finally worked. Alhamdulilah. I still have no clue what was wrong, and don't intending on getting any clue about it because I'm back and thats all what matters right now. :)

Will post something useful in a sec. Let me think about it first, my brain is currently trashed with images of dresses [I have a party coming up...].

Getting high on Nasheeds

I haven't been listening to pretty much anything but dua's lately. MashAllah you find a huge variety of beautiful dua's..I think I've almost learn half of them now!

Anyway, so youtube has this new setting where you can scroll down, in the comfort of your own channel, and listen to anything in your favs.  Here's what have been getting me in the spirit to ..do something useful! [Honestly these Nasheeds motivate me so much...]

Thi sone doesnt start until about 40 seconds. Its about the Qassam Rockets ; )



& Here's another one that, if you understand it,should have you in TEARS:


This has such a cute meaning, tune and everything! [ignore where it says 'fateh'..nothing to do with that]



Smile

I need to stick my head into a book

I'm going to fail ever being a doctor if I don't buckle up and do some reading and writing...


& No, that revelation didnt JUST come down on me. I've always known it. Always said it. Always felt it. But hardly ever done anything about it- other than making a few [useless] timetables which I never stick to.


Boo to me!


Ok so now that im typing it on the white screen infront of me, I thought I might as well add something useful to this post because I don't want my blog to be as useless as my life.


I have come up with a list of  3  reasons as to why I  [and all Muslim young women/girls/ladies] should work hard:


1- We're muslims. Failing education and sitting at home receiving benefits is not only uncool; but its also HARAM. 


2-We're women. Yes one day we'll have a huge family to look after or something [InshaAllah], but an educated clever mummy is the biggest gift you could give to your child. Educate a man and you've educated an individual. EDUCATE A WOMAN AND YOU'VE EDUCATED A NATION.


3 - We're Muslim Women. With all this rubbish going around that we are 'oppressed' and 'stupid' and whatever, the least we could do to defend our religion and ourselves is to be the WALKING TALKING LIVE EXAMPLES of the exact opposite! So get up and show them that Hijab is freedom. That YOU & I are a geniuses.
[Idk if geniuses is even a word, but sack that: we'll make our own bloody dictionary because we can do anything, InshaAllah]


You may think 3 reasons is not enough to persuade anyone. But believe me, read these three reasons very well: until the words cut so hard that you're cringing.


I'm off to study. Like NOW InshaAllah.

My favourite quotes

[You'll really like these]

The reasons why I havent put the peoples' names below the quotes are simple:
1- I don't want to waste space. [I'd rather waste space writing this: don't be surprised, it is me after all].
2- The person is probably dead [People from the olden days stole most of the cool quotes, you'll rarely hear anything worth posting here been said by todays humans] , so whats the point?
3- Half of them are probably anonymous anyway.
AND
4- I am the one who handpicked these fabulous quotes and put them here together for you to read, so if anything- I deserve the credit!

Anyway, the point is to read them and not mourn over the person who said them so:

"You are what you eat"
Oh gosh. Makes you worry,right?

"God is great, greater than America" ...Or as the Mujahideen would chant, during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan: ''God Is Great, Greater than Russia!''

"Those who survived the San Francisco earthquake said, "Thank God, I'm still alive." But, of course, those who died, their lives will never be the same again."
I kaughed so hard at this. Then realised that the San Fransisco earthquake was real...

"It's time for the human race to enter the solar system!"
(Because we're not already in it, are we Genius? ) You should thank me for not putting the persons name here, or else you'd want to go shoot their stupid head.

''Arguing with a fool proves there are two''

"Always forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."

" In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

"Speak when you're angry, and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret"
[Haven't we all...]

''War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left.''

"Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent."

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
[...Its be the worst mistake you could ever make. Wow im such a poet]

"To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first, and call whatever you hit the target."

"There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience."
[Theres a long list of people who I'd like to shov this quote in their face]

"Everyone wishes to have truth on his side, but not everyone wishes to be on the side of truth."

''Parents spend the first part of our lives teaching us to walk and talk, and the rest of it telling us to sit down and shut up.''
[Its part of their wisdom I guess...]

''A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station...''
[ :(Dammit I DO need to get back to work]

"When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country"
[I hope you're reading this, G. Bush]

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed
[The person who said this is branded a 'Hero'..but sadly when we look at the people who work on this quote, they're almost always called 'Terrorists''].


Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
[This is why Israel shouldnt exist..!]
