Assalamu Alaikum.
Its Tuesday. The weekend was tyte cuz it was 3 days long!!!! Well, let's see...
Friday, I can't remember...oh yeah!! We went to the in-laws', hung out...then went home. After awhile, we decided we'd watch X-Men 1 and 2, so we rented them and went to the Baigs'. Fari came also. Twas fun; I never in my life thought I'd like those movies, but in all actuality, they were quite good. Made you think and stuff.
Saturday was the graduation. It was alright. Tayyab looked SOOOOO cute in his cap and gown. Afterwards we went to Hina's for dinner and stuff. The food was extremely good. It would have been fun, but J was being harassed by someone, and was sweating like crazy, and felt dizzy all day. Poor thing. We stayed until about 12, and then we went home.
Sunday, we woke up semi-early to work on the Entertainment Session for the conference. J was in charge of it or something. We (me 'n J) worked like craaaaaazy for like 4 hours, and finally had all the questions ready. Then we went to the conference, and hung out...we kept trying to fix the powerpoints, the questions, the BANK screen, etc...so we didn't really go to any lectures. The game was SPLENDID. I thought it went realllllllly well, Alhamdulillah. A certain person didn't think so, and decided to yell at J for it; which reallllly pissed me off. I mean, criticism is a most welcome, and even more expected thing...but there's a way to do even that. And, that just was not the way. Well, after the conference, we were supposed to go on our "fun, exciting, adventure," but I was too tired, so we went to the Baigs' instead to play POKER. Instead we watched House. All night long, until 3am. That's the ONLY tv show I've ever liked so much. Its sooo good.
Monday, we slept in.. talked...chilled..y'know. :) Then, we went for dinner at the in-laws.' We had shakriya which was realllllllly good (Im eatin leftovers right now.) Afterwards J and G went to buy controllers for the new GameCube (J bought it for Nora/Omar for graduation). Then, all of us played..... WHAT ELSE...Supersmash!!! I've finally begun to not hate it. Its kinda cool, actually. In the end, the experts backed off, and me and my mom-in-law played...and I BEAT HER!!!! YAAAY!! Then, the 'kids' played again, and me and her just talked for an hour or 2. We finally left around 10. We went to see The Last Stand, after that. It was alright, but slightly lame and extremely short. It was fun, though.
It was an interesting weekend. Now, I'll be heading out to play more Supersmash.
Peace out.

yay AND ugh
Assalamu Alaikum,
Welllllll. Its Monday night. J is kinda sick, so he's already asleep, which in turn, is the reason for my extreme boredom.
Well, Friday was fun fun fun. My spa party ended up being spa-less, except the tons of lit candles I put everywhere. We just talked, chilled, ate...did shots...with my mother-in-law. Hehe. Fortunately, I can't post the pics. :)
I slept around 8am, after hours of just talking, eating, and "beeeeeeeyop." I awoke at 1, and called J, so he could come home. He had spent the night with D, and was mighty tired after a "wild" night of Red Alert.
We wanted to do something "fun," but then his friend, A, called and reminded us of the Banquet. We got ready, and were just about to leave, when J's mom called, and said she had a flat tire. Alhamdulillah, it was perfect timing; if it was 10 minutes later, we would have been far away, and she would have had to wait. Anyways, her spare was missing so the whole ordeal took about 2 hours. We arrived at the banquet, to find they had already eaten. So, we stayed and watched all the speeches, slide shows, and awards. It was a little bit boring, and just kinda kept dragging on and on.
Anyways, certain people are never to be believed or trusted. And, of course, W'Allahu 3'lam. I am soooo angered and feel quite used by some. And some "friendships" are irrepairable. I don't know why I've let this come this far. I should have stopped it in the bud, when I first saw these characteristics, these backstabbing ways.. And, may Allah (SWT) Help me now, and give me strength.
Assalamu Alaikum.

Assalamu Alaikum,
Well, since my last post...... things haven't really improved much.
J's a little bit better, Alhamdulillah. His parents are still trying to cope/deal with the problem. Outwardly they act like everything's good, but when we go over and talk, a whole new side to the story appears. I've never seen N as sad as she was this past week. I just hope everyone can go back to normal. I can tell this is affecting people in a horrible way. In the end, W'Allahu 3'lam.
Anyhow, I can't wait till my SPA Party tonight. Its not exactly a party....only my closest confidantes are coming (sisters, sis-in-law, brat,tw,etc..) but I hope all goes well. I'm still sick, but at the same time I'm bored.
J and I are hopefully doing something FUN and "thrilling" this weekend. hehe. I just have to plan it. I want to do something spectacular for him; something that he'll never forget. Kind of similar to "le surprise."
Well, I should be running along now...
Wasalaam, peace, and until next time CYA!

siiiigh
Assalamu Alaikum,
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. I am so burnt out. J's so sad, he hardly laughs anymore. All because of someone and someone else. I'm so fed up with these people.
Well, this weekend was interesting. Friday was Family Night. I was the only girl there. The others went to a party instead. Some "shura" we have. I set up half the cafeteria on my own, and then Naj came and helped me out. Do I not have a right to be angry/annoyed?? Then, Saturday, Build A Masjid. At least a few people showed up KINDA on time. At first, J, me, and Nora chilled and brought in all the supplies that had been inhabiting my car for quite some time. Then a few people began to arrive. We set-up and Build a Masjid was underway. It went pretty well, Alhamdulillah. I was proud of myself (and J and his bro who both helped a lot.) Then, after the event, more cause for anger. Here I am, cleaning the bathroom, ALL ALONE, someone walks in, says "since you don't need help I'm gonna leave. c you at the party!!" I have never been so angry in my life. Well, actually I have...the very next day.
Anyhow, I am sooooooooooooooooooo sick right now. I threw up all over the comforter yesterday, I just couldn't stop it. I was getting up to go clean up in the bathroom, when more puke came.
I feel like taking J and going away, somewhere far away, where he will no longer be sad, depressed, and quiet. I want my old baby back. The one that sang me songs, talked to me about everything, joked about everything, etc. Some days are still ok, and then like an old memory that blows in with the wind, its all over. Back to the sadness.
Well, I'm hoping, in sha'Allah, the next time I write will be a much happier post. Maybe about a gobitt. :)
Wasalaam. peace.

Long time, no post...
Assalamu Alaikum,
Its been quite a while since I've written.....Blogging was usually a method to clear my mind and attempt to rid myself of worries and stress..and J has taken over that. :)
Well, lets see....Nothing really spectacular took place in January....February was ok....We set the date for the Walima, and began to prepare for it. After countless trips to David's Bridal and Men's Wearhouse, we both had our outfits. The most stressful thing, which was also the most time-consuming was the invitations. Siiigh. Never again am I having a party for 550 people.
Before the wedding, we finally decided on a place to live. Its a 2-story townhome, sorta like a mini mansion. We also bought most of our furniture, which is just awesome, if I do say so myself. We've been devoting the past 2-3 weeks to the house.
The wedding was...astonishing. Everything (almost) went perfectly. I love being part of a inter-racial marriage..it makes things much more interesting, and harder too, of course.
Last weekend, we decided to go on a vacation. We drove to San Antonio on Saturday morning and returned Sunday morning. It was a whole lot of fun, especially the boat ride, the shopping, eating out, everything.
And, finally, last but, definitely not least....I got J's surprise.
After months of planning, it didn't work out exactly as planned, and for a despairing minute I thought it might be a disaster.. But, then seeing the look on his face made any gloomy feelings disappear instantly. I'm sure you're wondering what the surprise is... None other than our newest family member, "ALAKAPOOCHIE." She's 8 months old, half calico and half tabby, and the sweetest thing in the world. (If you STILL don't get it, its a kitty. hehe).
Today, all the guys left for the SEMY Camp. I dropped J off early in the morning, at the Masjid, where they were supposed to meet. I talked to him twice since, and I miss him so extremely much. I'm just glad I have something to keep me occupied while he's gone for the weekend. (Alakapoochie, the Qiyaam, and other things.)
Well, I should be heading out now, I'm invited to my mom's for lunch. And, I think I'm going to try and get an oil change, if time permits.
Assalamu Alaikum........
peace.

Contemplation Out of Sight
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,
An attempt to re-write my deleted post and expound some:
Nearly two months have passed since I last came here for a "mental clean-up." An interesting two months, no doubt....
On September 17, I got married. It seemed so surreal and dream-like throughout the whole thing, or as if I was just another guest at a friend's wedding. The next few days were a type of mini-vacation, in which J and I went out everday and night, and had quite an agreeable time. Four days later though, this was cut short, because of an impending hurricane, which they called Rita. Just as anyone living in the area would have and did do, we decided to evacuate. We drove to a city (Austin) about three and a half hours away, and it ended up taking nearly 24 hours. It was an interesting, yet tiring experience, and one that I will likely never forget.
After returning from this "self-imposed vacation" or whatever it was, school re-started in about 4 days. J and I continued our search for an apartment, which in itself proved to be an interesting adventure.
Two weeks ago marked the start of Ramadan. Although I've been going to the masjid on most of the days, that extreme feeling of unity with fellow Muslims and tranquility with oneself that usually surfaces or becomes more prominent during this month, is unfortunately lacking. Maybe its just me... Either way, half the month remains, and any change is better than none.
Another concept has truly been reinforced in my mind.. the process of getting there was not easy, but at least we can learn from our mistakes, in sha'Allah.
I have a test in Acct and one in Calc tomorrow, and I really need to study for those, so I guess I ought to head out. I luv jawalabi.
Peace out.
Something interesting I came across:
A Muslim - holds strongly to Islamic principles, but yet is adaptable to change when applying them in response to contemporary issues and challenges.
(There's more of those, leave a comment if you would like to see.)

I love caterpi king :)
Assalamu Alaikum,
I have a steadily growing headache right now. I haven't laid eyes on J for about 30 minutes, and I miss him immensely. Never in my wildest (or even tamest) dreams did I ever imagine myself acting in such an obsessive way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Salaam again. I started this post a few weeks back, but managed to leave it half finished and am just now returning.
School started last week, and although its extremely hot, one of my classes is extremely boring, and I miss J a lot while I'm there, I like it. It provides me with a much-needed chance to see Possum and Aihy. I also started my other 2 classses today at SJCC, and I'm really hoping that I do well in both. In sha'Allah. The best part... I'm like 8 minutes away from J. :)
I turned 21 yesterday....an interesting age, even without the usual, known 21st Bday occurences. I got an awesome gift, that I already had....a new pet. I love it. (Shipped straight from the outback.(pronounced "aaoootback") g'day, mate.)
There's about 18 days left until what will probably be one of the most exciting days of my life. My wedding. I can hardly wait. I guess Im not like any normal bride that starts to get "cold feet" and even doubts it every once in a while or maybe wonders if she's making the right decision. But, then again, thats completely explainable....the person Im marrying is no normal person. He's "beyond that," and is the most important thing in this world to me. I know for a fact, that this is not only the right decision, but also the smartest, and best decision I've ever made. And for once, my usual indecisiveness has disappeared.
I'm happy. :)
Peace.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah,
In all truth, I have no idea where to begin. This dazed state I've been in is for sure, annoying some, while others find it amusing(twanimal). I like it. There's only one thing on my mind, and that is J----. The amount of love I feel for him and from him is just incredible, and at times, almost overwhelming. But, of course, I love it. I have never been so happy in my life, and even with so many other problems, hurdles, and predicaments, everything has suddenly become livable, and I can deal with it all. I know with all my heart that this is not a mere crush, infatuation, or anything of that sort. This is IT.
The reality of me GETTING MARRIED has not hit me yet. There's still a few months left so, I can think about that later.
I miss amna. We haven't hung out in quite some time. I guess its because she's going to SJC South, while I'm at Central. Accounting is actually, surprisingly going alright. I haven't been studying as much as I should, yet I'm managing pretty well. I have an A- or a B+ right now.......
I don't have much else to write.
Wasalaam. Peace.

WOW!!
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah!!!
When I previously wrote "life-altering" in my post, I had no idea to what degree this event would alter my life. Now, all I can say is "wow! " Im basically speechless, and of course, ecstatic. For once, I'm completely at a loss for words. And, when I do attempt to talk or converse with someone, I sound like a blubbering idiot. Which is also fine, because I'm too happy to care. :)
I thank Allah (SWT) day and night for answering my Du'aa, for continuously providing me with unlimited oppurtunities, and for rightly guiding me. Alhamdulillah!
I think I'm going to come back and edit this post in about.....3 or 4 days? In sha Allah. :)
On a not-so-exciting, mind-blowing note, I'm currently taking my Defensive Driving Class, by DVD. The sheer boring nature of it has helped a bit with bringing me back to reality. Somewhat. Or not....that's just what I want to believe. Either way, I must resume watching now, so peace out.
