إذا كنت سأموت هنا ثم الحمد لله. لو أموت في سورية ، ثم الحمد لله. لو أموت في اليابان ثم الحمد لله. لو أموت بين ذراعيك ثم الحمد لله.

and one day all your jokes just weren't funny anymore

Now we are in mutawasit al awal!

Alhumdulilah back in Doha now after spending some time in Detroit. It is our last semester, and man, it is looking crazy. We have insane loads of homework from just this first week and weekend - inshAllah I am hoping that I can keep up with it all. We have a couple new teachers - Ustadha Mariam and Ustadh Salaah. We also still have Ustadh Ahmed much to my excitement LOL. So we still have the same reading, writing, listening, speaking, and grammar classes from before... in addition to Media Arabic, which I am pretty happy about. Ustadh Salaah is leading that class and he seems very polite and engaging and is familiar with cville/uva and possibly preemptively formed a positive impression about me from that :/

But inshAllah I decided no more fooling around and no more dilly dallying and socializing too much - just make the absolute most of this semester and inshAllah focus on just studying :) I go through this speel every semester! ya Allah, help me!

Okay, gonna finish up this drama min Korea al Janubia and off to wajibi. Ma'Salaama!

introducing!!!!!!

i have picked my rapper name - 'lil crayon'

it is official and copy written now so no one can try steal it without getting sued.

beby's keys to happiness

i know this is hard to do, but it works with me Alhumdulilah rabil alameen. may Allah (swt) show me His Magnificence.

ok and so far this is all i have.

be thankful for what you have. simply that. you won't get anything more than what you are getting and you won't get anything less than what you are getting, so really, make the most of it.

don't be scared or afraid. and i will go even further to say go ahead and do the stuff you are scared of the most. why are you scared anyways? take a deep breath! say Bismillah! go ahead! (this does not apply to doing haraam things)

control your emotions and access whether your behavior is proper/justified. this is very important.

for extra happiness, you can eat some cookies too. but they have to be of high caliber and them being fresh makes it even better. eating a nasty stale cheapo cookie (i.e. a random chips a hoy that has been in your bag for a few months and has rat hair growing out of it) could jeopardize happiness effects.

accompany this with a lot of duas, shukr, astagfar, and good deeds. delicious :)
