New arrival of Baby Saeed

21 July 09

It was the delievery of my new nephew Saeed..the Unexpected nephew..

He was suppose to be baby girl as the doctors have told my sister and all the preparation for the new baby was in pink, and it was the shock when the Doctor came out and told mom, Congrats its baby boy! my mom stunned and thought that she might be mistaken, but it were us who was busted by this little tiny Saeed..

The cuty kid was silent all the time, till my other sister, hold him and started to recall "Adhan" in his ears, and he started to cry..I was touched to see him crying while "Adhan" was recalled and this came to my mind..

ولدتك أمك يا ابن آدم باكياً والناس حولك يضحكون سروراً فاحفظ لنفسك أن تكون إذا بكوا في يوم موتك ضاحكاً مسروراً

عندما تولد يا ابن آدم يؤذّن فى أذنك من غير صلاة.. وعندما تموت يصلّى عليك من غير أذان.. وكأن حياتك فى الدنيا وقت تقضية بين أذان وإقامه.... فلا تقضيها فيما لا يرضى الله

Subbhan Allah, It was this lady who told us about this mother who lost her eldest 19 years old son in an accident, and she was shouting when he was held on the shoulders that he's sleeping and will wake up now..

It made me stop a minute and think about our life...

I wish you my baby nephew a good life that would make you happy now and later..

This is from your Aunti to remember her once she left..
Once you are grown and able to read..Pray for me

Cooking Time - Trurkish Bread

As the holy month is coming so close by now, I planned to cook different dishes from now and on, so I become a good cook as I have nothing to do..

So What ill be doing, Ill update my blog inshalla daily with what I cook with the recipe.

Soo Today was my very first time to cook baked bread, actually I had to bake with my two hands! I was soo tired so I got this handy mixer but it didnt work, so I baked it again with my both hands, it was a bit challenging for me to start this, at first when I was mixing all the ingredients together I was frustrated coz it didnt seem like I was on the right way, But with baking and baking and baking it was what I want..

So Easy, Approached, Simple and Tasty..the Turkish Bread

ingredients:

350 غ طحين
50 غ زبدة ذائبة
2 ملعقة كبيرة زيت زيتون
1 حبه بيض كاملة
5 ملاعق كبيرة حليب دافئ
نصف ملعقة صغيرة ملح
1 ملعقة كبيرة خميرة الخبز الفورية
1 ملعقة كبيرة سكر
100 ملل ماء دافئ
بياض1 حبة بيض مخلوط بملعقة كبيرة زبدة ذائبة لدهن حبات الخبز
كمية من السمسم لتزيين الخبز

Recipe:

تغطى العجينة و نتركها ترتاح إلي أن يتضاعف حجمها ـ تنزّل العجينة براحه اليد دون العجن كي لا نكسر العجينة
تقسم العجينة إلى 7 أو 8 قطع تشكل كورعلى شكل إسطوانة ثم علي شكل دائرة و توضع في صينية مرشوشة بالطحين تدهن بخليط بياض البيض و الزبدة الذائبة و ترش أو تزين بالسمسم و تترك لتختمر مرة أخرى .
يسخن الفرن على 400 درجة فهرنهايت وتدخل الفرن لتخبز لمدة تتراوح ما بين 25 إلى 30 دقيقة حسب الفرن و حجم حبات الخبز .
تخرج من الفرن ـ توضع فوق شبك لتبرد

Time to equal

I wasn't raised in a way to distinguish between people and others. I came from two wonderful worlds. My first half comes from my country the United Arab Emirates and my other half is from Egypt. And I consider myself one of the luckiest people in this world. I hate to devalue people and make them feel it. It's the most awful feeling a person could ever feel. Never nice to make some feels lower than you or make them higher than you.

When I first started to realize the nature of the people around me, I started to line things in my life and how I should make people treat me and how I do that vise versa Actually I was in that situation when I was in my early teenage, I felt horrible to be treated lower than the others, and what hurts the most that it comes from your relatives.. I do like to treat everyone on the even basis, all of us are humans, we are creatures of souls and spirits only..and all of our beautiful shaped bodies will someday buried under the ground, till we are again to our first origin, the dust,

We are all humans, Whites and Blacks, Arabs or Asians, Muslims or non believers, Someday we will be gathered all in one place, the poorest breathing soul on earth will stand beside the billionaires of this world.

Peace out

Fasten your seat belt..It's life

Its really shocking how you are paid in this world..There is no place for brotherhood, sisterhood, love hood or even giving hood. If you think that you will treat people nicely so you will be treated the same way around, then you are in a big huge bubble of imagination that keeps you away from reality. You do it, then do it for the sake of God.

One of my really shocking stories was with my childhood friend. She's my neighbor, her parents were my parents friend, we'd grown up together, shared our dreams together, hanged out together, and most important, shared her the happiness and sadness that mumbled her life in a very tragedy way.
I remember that I used to tell her every single secret happened in my family, coz honestly, I never considered her a stranger, she was more than my sisters mean to me.

It was this time, when she started to act weirdly, not showing off, not calling, no nothing. Until I heard from my mother that she has been engaged. The feelings of sadness captivated the happiness one for her. I was amazed how I was the one who hear this news from outsiders not from her. I haven't ever thought that she would think I might be jealous of her marrying before me! It wasn't ever gonna happen, I wish her all the beautiful rosy things in this world, so it made up for her the loss of her family..

Her wedding started to get closer, when she called to invite me..I couldn't refuse the invitation of not showing off in my childhood mate wedding. One day morning before the wedding, on my way to the college, I couldn't stop my tears as I remembered how I wiped her tears when she used to cry, as I held her hand all these years, telling her that it will be fine, and now she just dumped all these memories behind her, just because she got married!

Things changed after that, she was a nother person from the one I used to know, but I could felt that she regret what she has done. I started to get messages and calls from her, it was this thing that she wants to fix, but never with me..I talk her when she calls, messages her in occasions, But its me that couldnt be fixed ever after being broken, I would never be the girl who laughs and tells her what hurts and what makes me happy ever, and thus with the others.

Reality crashes - Green your day

We met people, either the days gather us or we met them by coincidence or upon an agreed date..
We greet them and receive them with very open heart and very optimistic hope, that their presence in our life will definitely be the first step towards happiness and the dream we've been waiting for finally is coming to reality..
Our days will be absolutely much more vivid and colorful with them, and sadness will leave once they've arrived..

And thus, we change for them and rebuilt our broken things for them, we ride the fluffy clouds to express the happiness we are in because of them, we open our doors and windows to breath the very clean and sweet air and we see the world from a colorful perspective and dream about a better tomorrow and give them the best that could be given..

We start drawing the most beautiful picture of them and paint it with our heart's blood and have this great faith in them..

But..

We wake up very quickly from our greenery dream on the voice of reality hitting the walls of our hearts, and we see them in their ugliest picture and watch them in the worse scene..

Eventually, masks fall, colors melt and the beautiful scenes distort..

and Now

Never ever open your doors with this alacrity and this trust anymore..

Slow down and regain your lost respect and your lost own to survive as you've always dreamt to.

أرحنا بها يا بلال

أرحنـا بها يا بـلال...مقولة المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم..لطالما لامست أذني هذه الكلمات ككلمات! ولكني لم أعرف لها معنا حقيقيا إلا في آخر عمرة أديتها في 2009\1\29

الجميع في الحرم يتوافدون إليه..للتذلل بين يدي الله عزوجل..يطلبون الهدايه والستر والعفاف والغنى والصحه والعافية، والمعافاة الدائمة..كلٌ يتذلل للمولى بحاجته، ويروحون عن أنفسهم في أطهر بقاع الأرض..منهم من يُحمل على الأكتاف ليصلّى عليه عليه آخر مرة و إلى الله المصير

يحين وقت الأذان..ويصدح صوت الحق في سماء مكة المكرمة "الله أكبـر..الله أكبر" ..تنهيدة عجيبة..استوقفني هذا الصوت الذي يلي تكبيرة الأاذان مباشرة..تنهيدة لا تنم عن حزن ولا هم..وإنما عن شيئ أزاح ذلك الهم وأعلن راحة عباد الله..تلك هي الراحة التي حدثنا عنها رسولنا الكريم محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم..أجواء روحانيه، يخشع لها القلب وتدمع لها الأعين..منظر مهيب، يرسل الانسان في جولة على ما فرط من عمره، وفرصة لتصحيح ذلك بما أن في العمر بقي يوم
