Damn, i haven’t written a REAL post since last Monday. Whoa. I’m surprised people are still stalking my tagboard. Or maybe that’s why they’re stalking my tagboard. I woulda given up long ago. hahahah. Anywayz, I know y’all missed me. I’m kinda psychic like that. It’s all about the blogger brainwaves, yo. :-D And seeing […]

i don’t feel like updating after all, and it’s not even because of laziness any more.
Found the link to this Independent article off Yaser’s blog (not my cousin). Go read it right now. And take 2 minutes out of your day RIGHT NOW to make a heartfelt and sincere du’a for our Iraqi brothers […]

I was talking to a Muslim brother a while back, and he was telling me about his upcoming summer trip to Bangladesh. He was born and raised in the U.S., and it’s been 8 years since he’s been back in Bangladesh. Naturally, everyone thinks he’s going back just so he can get married, but he […]

Yesterday morning, my dad decided we’re “looking too white,” so he hauled us outside to supposedly take a walk in the yard and freshen up on our tan (what tan? I was born white. LOL) so we can look ethnic again. Haha. Now, “taking a walk in the yard” is a phrase that seriously fills […]

So it’s midnight, and i’m sitting here wading through the 43971361735 emails I’ve received in the address i use for my halaqa/BAMY (Bay Area Muslim Youth) emails. So much stuff i’m behind on, man. One week of studying for finals, plus another week of almost killing myself through MORE studying and actually taking the final […]

Yesterday morning I was listening to the radio on the way up to school at around 7 a.m., and they were talking about the anti-war protests going on in San Francisco. At the time I tuned in, there were people protesting in the Financial District, the Embarcadero, and south of Market, and 20 intersections were […]

ok, here’s something a little more useful. This is from my email subscription to MeccaOne (check out their website; it’s so awesome, masha’Allah. They’re based here in the Bay, and they’ve been putting a lot of work and effort into educating people).
WHEN YOU WAKE UP…
When you wake up in the morning do not expect […]

ehhh, i’m not really into the whole quiz deal, but i found this one on Otty’s blog and my results made me laugh, so here goes… And yes, Shadaan, good point about the fine line between self-confidence and over-confidence/conceit. :) I already know Somayya’s gonna have a field day commenting on this one (hopefully she’ll […]

Shoot, it’s almost 2 a.m. and genius me decides to take a study break and update, even though i can’t think of anything to write about. Talk about deliberately searching for ways to waste time. lol.
Hmm, nothing much new going on here. Had my physics final exam oh-so-early yesterday morning (8 a.m.), which meant […]

ehhh, studying for finals is so boring, man. Don’t worry, ya’ll are not missing out at all. :-p I went up to Davis today to study for physics and was SEMI-productive.
Deval and I had our physics final scheduled for last Thursday, so on Wednesday she wanted to meet me in the morning at the Borders […]

Man, stupid finals have got me all down these days. Everywhere i go, i have exams on the brain. The saddest part is, I haven’t really made all that much progress in terms of studying…i’ve been too exhausted lately to even get to that part. I don’t get it…I don’t sleep; i’m tired. I DO […]

ok, i know i need to update, cuz there are WAY WAY WAY so many comments to my last post. lol. Well, ok, I’ll just admit it, a lot of them were novel-length comments made by myself and Somayya because, genius children that we are, we didn’t think of using email, AIM, or the phone […]

Had a physics lecture this morning…and a quiz that i totally b.s.’ed my way through—as usual, of course. :-D So funny…Deval’s such a bitter child. Every Sunday night for the past 3 quarters, she’s called me to demand, “Have you studied for tomorrow’s physics quiz yet??” No “hey, how are you?”…no preliminary greetings…just Deval asking […]

ok so i see that i’m kinda behind on the updates, since lately I’ve been posting stuff written by OTHER people. Hmmm… I don’t really have anything exciting to write about either, though… How bothersome, man. And it’s funny that I woulda written about today, but “today” is actually Monday now, since it’s wayyy past […]

I have final exams starting in one week, so I apologize in advance for what may be sporadic posting during the upcoming week while I (attempt to or at least pretend to) study. lol. Please make du’a for me, everyone! I will appreciate it much. :)
The following passage has been at the back of […]
