Summer 2006

Manana por la manana, voy a desayunar con mi amiga lucia. Algunas veces le echo de menos levantarme temprano por la manana y ahora le echo de menos. Entonces, voy a levantarme a las siete y voy a ponerme la ropa y despues voy a salir de la casa, inshallah. Ay, tengo que hacer mucha tarea esta noche antes de dormir y tambien manana por todo el dia. Tengo que hacer la composicion en espanol, estudiar para nutricion, plantas y tambien stat. Esta noche, antes de dormirme, voy a poner en mi memoria una lectura de nutricion y leer Qur'an... me encanta leerlo porque entendo mucho dos cosas: leer arabe y apprender que dice el Dios swt. Ahora son las diez por la noche y estoy escuchando musica. Hmm, pienso que voy a dormir a las doce por la mas tarde o doce y media -- voy a ver. Oh, tambien necesito hacer la tarea para mi amigo pequeno... llata, voy a hacerlas.

Sweet dreams.

Past, present & future

Yesterday is history

Tomorrow is a mystery

Today is a gift; and that's why it's called the present

Inspired.

She would study at the library, determined to consciously know the material. She was just your typical girl who had a dream, a destination... like any other. She would stroll into class with her pretty hair done and her typical outfit: long-sleeved shirt, vest, jeans, flats and a two-shoulder backpack. She would answer different forms of the same question with a contagious, bright smile, tediously but one would think it was the first. She once made an announcement, about some sort of student group organization that she was a part of, forgetting what she said and just focusing on her strong, independent voice, I applauded when she ended. She was in a few classes of mine for the next year and there always was something noticeably unique about her. Something special. Something worthy of my curiosity. I recall seeing her randomly and wondering "could she really do it? or is it just another false prospective?"
After not seeing her for over a year, I saw her the other day while sitting with some friends and my heart was tied into a knot. I rubbed my eyes unable to believe what I just saw. "Mashallah, wow, I'm amazed." Thoughts ran, bounced and returned to my mind nearly driving me insane. My friends were talking to me and to one another but they were entirely tuned out for a couple minutes, while my mind took me on a jetplane to the real thoughts that had always been in the back of my head. I knew it was true but at the same time I couldn't believe it. She was determined, focused and now she is settled, resolved. I guess what your heart says is true but it is your mind that lies to you. I knew what I felt was true all along and she just proved it to me passively, without even knowing she did. SubhanAllah. All it took was a glance. And all I could think of how she inspired me. Her unintentional inspiration inspired me to go that extra mile and I could almost love her for that. Alhamdulillah, she has come into my path and Alhamdulillah for making her walk by the same place that I was, at that same instant and subhanAllah how I happened to look up. This must be for a reason, because everything happens for a reason.

Aiiiwaaa

If you know me, you know my love for animals.

What's Valentine's Day?
Bee Ess.

I don't believe Valentine's Day should be the only day you should express your love or surprise your significant other throughout the year, that should be everyday or at least often enough. Yeah sure maybe you got in a fight and you happen to make it up the day after, which happens to be Valentine's day, which is a valid excuse. But honestly, this is the same as Thanksgiving day... why are you going to thank Allah for his blessings one day out of the year... why not all 365.25 days?! If Valentine's day is a day for loving, caring, flowers (thanks Fatoush & Aboora for the flowers by the way :) ) then what about all the other days? Do they solely consist of not appreciating, or even acknowledging for that matter, the existence of your significant other?
Just curious.

I would rant on, but I have to go do a lovely stats assignment x2.


The Tim Hortons in ETLC rules -- those latina girls wake me up any morning when I go to buy a coffee or just walk by to have a conversation en espanol. Believe me, there ain't nothing like practicing your spanish 7:30 in the AM~

"Un largo doble doble, por favor"




Keep me in your du'aa. Take care homies.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan for all of those who made this week possible. May Allah (swt) bless you all with only the most beautiful of blessings.

As you might have noticed, I was camera-happy all week, especially Friday night -- so if any of you want more pictures of IAW, leave me a comment and I'll hook a brother or sister up!

Enjoy the eye candy.

Hold on tighter

Circular motion is all we do...

Hold onto that dream, baby

Hold onto it real tight

The sky is the limit

Ojala que..



Oy, dios mio.. estoy confundida. No se que necesito hacer primero porque hay muchisimas cosas que tenga que completar. Necesito entrar a una especializacion.


Enough said. Es todo. Llata.


I crave sleeping 'til whenever I feel like it' but then at the same time when I get times like those, I miss getting up early for a reason -- I'm so confused. But, aren't students supposed to be?



Peace out ya punk

Recollection II: Summer 2006

After shedding a few tears,

awaiting the departure to Malaga...me & Sumaya

adios Melilla, a city I adore;
so unique
beautiful people
amazing sites
small yet so much to offer
from the Florida II Pizzeria
to Paseo Maritimo's beach and walkway
with such mouth-watering ice creameries

My favorite: yogur de fresa
aka strawberry yogurt ice cream

Coolest tour bus ever

The all-famous: El Castillo in Malaga, Spain; has a long history with Arabs - google it

Alhamdulillah, I recovered some of my pictures from the summer. I'm still in the process of uploading them into photobucket so I'll post the URL when I have the time... in the mean time, enjoy these.
