Najjed

Summary of the day.

• I was woken up by the horrific H. We did seerah upstairs. 
• Went downstairs to eat breakfast and work on lab report. 
• Boom-boom on the door. Kylie arrived. I opened the door for him and he walked into H's room.
• I worked on the lab report all morning with S, and my, was it an amusing experience.
• I finally finished it, and looked for cookie recipes. 
• I settled on a simple sugar cookie recipe.
• S made lunch, Kylie ate with us.
• Jidda began S's facial treatment.
• Ummi asked me if I wanted to walk. I said sure.
• Z came along. It was a tiring walk, and we were out for about an hour. 
• Came back and made cookies.
• Auntie Sal came to take Kylie home. 
• H made dinner.
• Cookies finished.

The end.

Them sugar cookies look wonderful. The last batch consisted of two lovely heart shaped cookies. They flattened out real bad in the oven. Next time, I'm rolling out the dough and using a cookie cutter. Jidda wants to eat my cookies with her tea at the halaqa tonight. I gave her the two heart ones because she wanted them. I told Mar that I was bringing something tonight and she guessed cupcakes. I said no, and then she asked for a hint, and then I gave her some scrambled letters to unscramble. That was an hour ago, and she still hasn't replied. XD

This is what I gave her to unscramble: IKSEGSAROOUC

Does that look tough to you?

A Chance to Do Better

I just read a very amazing quote that I must share.

"Tomorrow is the first blank 

page of a 365 page book. 

Write a good one." 

Brad Paisley

And another one...

It isn't 2014,

it's you.

You have to change,

not the year.

-Anon

 We Muslims already had our 'New Year.' Haha, you Gregorian calendar people.

A bit harsh, that seemed. 

Tonight at the halaqa, we will discuss backbiting. Ummi wants to bring food. I suggested cookies, because S wanted me to make some for her because she was fasting yesterday. 

Jidda hand-washed all my new clothes [a.k.a. became mejnoon] the whole of yesterday. She wants me to wear baju buruk for the halaqa on Saturday, which is about Jahannam. And for the halaqa after, which is about Jenneh, she wants me to wear something heavenly. {Literally...}

We took a cruise around 'ancient NM' yesterday. [How many 'yesterdays' will appear in this post?'] We passed by some men building what looked like a barn. I waved at them (as play) as we were leaving, and the guy on the roof actually raised his hand in reply. LAWL.

We also visited Abi's abandoned office. Then we went to the masjid. Then Z peed his pantsies with nobody knowin'. Then I made deenar. 

I have to draw a picture for Jidda before she leaves. I have a wonderful idea in mind. I also have to copy & print out my poem about praying in public that I wrote when I was about 9. Jidda wants to bring it home to Malaysia and give it to everybody.

Oh my God, it’s Oh my God!
How did she not know we were there?
My sister was smashed by the door,
You wouldn’t believe it,
Goodness gracious me, she said,
Oh I’m sorry, that’s what she said,
Door was banged on us and then we started to giggle! 
Oh I’m sorry, Oh I am sorry,
Hit by the door
I was soo mad,
My sister was, too!
Suddenly the woman said, “Oh, I’m very sorry!”
Oh I am very sorry! We both laughed at that remark
Right after we finished praying.
Rolling with laughter, laughing uncontrollably
You just wouldn’t believe it!

SOME DAY YOU WILL RETURN TO HIM

Auntie Sal is here and she gave us Nutella and chocolate JIF spread. She asked me if she could get a phone for me. Heavenly heavens. I'm still trying to save up for that darn moto g phone but I only have about $130. It's my fault I'm broke. Didn't bring my money with me when we visited Malaysia...

xD

I'm not broke. Anyways, money doesn't really matter to me.

I have a 'most prized possessions' box. The box is from El. It contains all my worldly goods. Ima list all them contents here.

• Purple spin top [Check E. Cheese, 2012]
• Earrings [OK gift shop, bought Oct 1st 2012, considered birthday earrings]
• Card and locket [Hib, 2013]
• Heart necklace [Grandma, 2010]
• Hot air balloon pendant [ALB balloon festival, 2011]
• Article of me and S w/photos [Jn, 2012]
• Kitty cards [Jn, 2012]
• Reddish bracelet that could kill [Jidda, 2013]
• Handkerchief [Jn, 2012]
• Photo of 7 yr old me [printed by me (XD lol), 2013]

there may be many more, but I forget.

Clogged Throat

My throat may be clogged, for I feel a cold and mucus-like substance partying at the top of my throat. Sickness again? Hope not.

2013 is nearly over. How could the year have zoomed by so quickly?

Then again, how could all the other years have passed by?

Back to not-so-wise speech. We're goin' out today, possibly, and I finished some schoolwork that was supposed to be done eons ago.

Spoiled

Hello! I changed the blog background again and I think I shall keep it.

Today we were out of the house for about four hours. We went to the Farmer's Market, Mountain View Market, Aden Market, Albertsons, Bosa, and Young Park.

FARMER'S MARKET
Bought normal veggies. No mushrooms though. Jidda bought cotton candy for us. We gave it to Z.

MOUNTAIN VIEW
Me and S got new chapsticks.

ADEN MARKET
Aus was all alone in the store. We bought chicken. S saw Auntie Sal coming and then Abi held the door closed because he didn't want her to see us buying chicken, since we're having lunch tomorrow at her house.

ALBERTSONS
Kinda forgot what we bought there. Oh yeah, we bought bananas.

BOSA
Bosa is a donut place. We got 1 dozen donuts there. Maple is my favorite flavor.

YOUNG PARK
We played tennis. It was very fun. And I sweated too much in my abaya so I can't wear it tonight.

I need to go do 2 math exercises.

N

Hello, humans.

Updates:

Z's tooth fell out.
I went to Jumu'ah with Jidda today.
We went to Chuck E. Cheese yesterday.
I just came back from an exhausting walk with Z.


*scratches hand*

Me and Jidda were the first ladies to arrive. Some ladies came and they looked new, 'cause I never saw them before. Then Auntie Nani came, and then Nr, Sr, and Hib. Then Mar and Ra. The khutbah was about friendship and stuff. After everything, Abd-R came to the ladies' side and said, "Hi, N. We meet again."

Hib saw my dangly pin and asked me where I got it. I told her, "My grandma gave it to me." Hib looked at Jidda sitting on the bench and asked, "Oh, is that your grandma?"
"Yeah," I said.
"Oh, she looks like you!"
"Thanks."
"Does she speak English?"
"Yeah."
"Oh. I'm going to go say hi, then."
So she went and salamed Jidda.
"Where are you from, darling?" Jidda asked.
"Iraq," said Hib.
"Oh, good, good."

Mar left early because she was invited for dinner somewhere. Sd said Jidda looked young. Then she told me to give salams to Ummi.

Deck Your Butts with Boughs of Lollipops.

Today all those Christmas-celebraters are being ridiculous in their homes. I however am being quite sensible. Jk.

We went to the park for tennis about 3 hours ago.

I hate being cold.

I want to make smoothies. But someone finished the benaaaanaaaaaaz.

N

OMG I DONT KNOW

Z has a loose tooth, yo! I'm so excited! I don't even know how old I was when I first lost my tooth but I'm assuming it was 6, which is Z's age now. Ooooooooohh! It's so wiggly. Like, nearly falling out wiggly. I just wanna yank it out. But it's Z's tooth and all, so yeah.

Just now we were at the masjid fot the halaqa, and that was Jidda's first time at the masjid. She thought it was a house. hehe.

Fawther is gonna tell me to get off, so I end here.

N

One little Bahulu...

There's one more bahulu in the cookie jar. Guess no one will ever eat it. D'poor thing.

N

Chest Freeze

Yesterday we walked to the mall with Jidda. It was very tiring. When we got there we went to Barnes & Noble. Me and H bought strawberry banana smoothies. S was angry for no reason. -_- After drinking the chest-freezing smoothie, I went to go read Tallstar's Revenge. It was nice but I didn't have time to finish all of it. So then we walked back home and on the way our exercise was interrupted by Auntie Sal and KylieMylieCyrie. Auntie Sal drove us home. She didn't have to. But anyways when we got home we found a gift bag at the door, apparently from Jn. Also, later at night, a Santa woman in a wheelchair knocked on our door and asked us if one of the vans on our street was ours because the light was on. H told her it wasn't ours and then she went away. "Merry Christmas!"

"Yeah," said H, closing the door.

N

Saalam 'Alayk

S, if you're reading this, remember you've gotta blog. ;P

H, if you're reading this, tell me why you didn't do your laundry yesterday. :D

Random person, if you're reading this, maybe you should follow my blog. X3

Anyways, now that our hard drive is back, I can post pictures of scenery.  Kak Nora left to Malaysia already. I had soup for breakfast. The soup is 2 days old. Jidda wants to go out walking to the nearby mall today. Yesterday I would have blogged if the weather hadn't been so gloomy. Today it's sunny and I hope it stays like this. On Saturday I am changing the blog to a wintry theme. Today I'm going to try it out.  It will be exciting for a while, but by January you'll hope for spring. XD Yeah, the blog theme will change every season. March 10th of next year will be the spring date. June 21 is the summer date. September 22 is the fall date.

so I didn't say anything about Jidda's visit much or the gifts she bought us. I don't think I should share it either. All I shall say is alhamdulillah.

Oh yeah, I just remembered the point of this post. XD See the point in my blog title as well? lol

More tomorrow. I had to post this due to H's request.

N

SHE'S HERE

Okay, so she is here. Dropped some comments on the house here and there. Says she likes our wall color. She bought Bahulu for us. Bahulu is yummy. This is Bahulu.

(photo credit goes to bahulu zana)

It's pronounced Bo-loo.

so anyways we had soup for lunch and then we had literature class and then Jidda showered and we're gonna pray in a little bit.

S is grump-a-dumpo girl today.

N

Update

Jidda is here. H chatted me. There are a lot of army guys. They're right now getting the baggage. Do you like the word 'baggage' or 'luggage' more?

I'm on problem 23. 'Tis the last problem.

N

Delayed

Jidda was supposed to come last night, but her flight was delayed. Today she is going to be picked up at El Paso by Dad, Whammo, and Z.

I am doing math.

I am cold.

Mom is cooking.

S is grumpy.

N

*mouth drops open wide*

Jidda is coming tonight.


Yes. Jidda. That's what we call her.


I CANT BELIEVE IT AHHHHHHH


H is in the kitchen making brownies. I guess he wants to show off his baking skills to Jidda. Jk.

We need to pray so yeah bye bye bye bye

Hi Z

Z got a new case for his iPod.

Injuries

Yesterday I was fasting with mother and sister. And I made soup for iftar. And while S was showering and H with dad at masjid, I walked into the kitchen, slipped and fell, and ended up with a pained right tock and a sprained right wrist. In short, my whole right side was affected. Mother said it was a quiet fall. She said she would have screamed. I say there wouldn't be anything to scream about. so I pressed ice to my wrist and massaged my tock. I ain't gonna tell you what a tock is. Just imagine yourself falling and injuring your whole right side. Also, think about what you usually hit first when you fall. So yeah. Got it now?

Father's mother is arriving in three days. Mom and dad are going to Dallas.

Oh by the way, I've gone a little bit back into art, thanks to S for motivating me. I finished this masterpiece today.

Pastel lily painting!

I drew another one specifically for S, and she laminated it. Tomorrow I will try to do a pink/red one.

we da misri bunch

I don't know why I'm singing the Misri Bunch song. I don't even know it and it's not the best song in the world either. No offense, Misri Bunchers.

So, I finished up my essay. It was quite fun to do. I like thinking up sentences and writing them down in the most sophisticated fashion. I have math to do, but that I'll be doing when Abi's mother comes to visit. We need to clean the whole house this weekend and work out the 'Where will she sleep' problem. So that means I have to fold & hang that overflowing basket of laundry in my room. Ugh. No excuses this time. I do like cleaning though. Jobs such as polishing, changing sheets, arranging, and vacuuming do not bother me. Sweeping isn't so cool, but mopping is fine. Picking up tiny things like useless paper shreds and weird nails, I dislike the very most.

Polishing - 10/10
Arranging/Rearranging - 10/10 (sometimes I dislike arranging because the things I arrange don't go into the place I desire for them to)
Vacuuming - 9/10 (I fear for vacuuming the wire!)
Sweeping - 4/10
Mopping - 8/10
Picking Up - 0/10

I'm on a 15-minute timer now. It's break time for me. I'm giving myself 15 minutes. Timing works, for sure.

Today ummi went out to send Kak Nora to school. Ummi will be going out again to take her home. And she's gonna help her pack too.

I found out that Ummi was exporting her DOOL2 blog back to Blogger. And I know why. This is the reason.

Wordpress < Blogger

Blogger = amazingness
Wordpress = Do you really press words to blog?

Last month was NaNoWriMo, but none of us participated. Pewh. Can't find a reason why, but I've found an excuse, which is school. And classes. Which are the same thing.


I've got 8 more minutes on my timer. What may I rant about now, my pretties? *cackle*

Just kidding you're all ugly







Just kidding you're all pretty

MY TIMER HAS 5 MIN NOW

IMA SPEND ALL OF IT BY BLOGGIN

THIS IS A SUCCESSFUL POST

IT'S SO LONG

BECAUSE I KEEP PRESSING ENTER AFTER EVERY SENTENCE I WRITE AND IT'S SO IRONICAL THAT I'M WRITING ALL THIS CRAZINESS WITH A COMPLETELY STRAIGHT FACE

AHAHAHA

I'M WEARING A QUILT THAT'S TOO BIG

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LAUNDRY TO BE DONE

MY FLUFFY SOCKIES ARE IN THERE

DO YOU KNOW WHAT SOCKIES ARE? NEITHER DOES THE COMPUTER. IT PUT A WIGGLY RED LINE UNDER THE WORD SOCKIES.

3 MIN LEFT

I THINK I'LL END THIS RIGHT HERE

I love this pic ♥♥♥

Look what ELSE I did to this picture!!

whimsical kitteh

It's so fun to play with. Like, you shouldn't play with cats, but whatever.

And see this one. I posterized it. I love this feature.

I probably added too much detail.

Stats

Stats is a palindrome. Stats spelled backward is statS.

But anyway, Just Remember has so far had 3233 pageviews. My old blog, The Light's the Limit, has 6241 pageviews. I wonder if anybody is going there.

I wonder if I should publicize my blog to my friends. XD Then they'd find out everything I write about them...O_o

XD
XD
XD

Mar would just laugh and ask me, "I did that?"
Hib would be all like, "..."


XD
XD
XD

Whatevs. Anyways....oh yep! In 11 days, on Dec 21st, I'm changing this blog to a wintry theme. Let's see, what day is Dec 21st anyway?

*checks*

Oh. A Saturday.


ITS SAAAAAAAAAAAAAATURDAYYYY

*waits for dad to yell*

"N_______..."

"Teehee," says me.

Lightningfooot! XD

This is the pic with my edits. I used Ribbet.

Hi, guys.

Today I made soup with mom and burned myself a million times. I daresay I completed a lot of work. I wonder if K-Lind will put up our DNA lab video in class tomorrow. My hands are so dry. As dry as...

Hm. Sure. They could be as dry as my backyard in the fall.

I hope the soup hurries. I want to blend it and then eat it. This morning I made horrible salty eggs and it's a good thing H didn't eat them. I ate them all and now I'm worried about my cholesterol because it really was a lot of salt. I didn't mean it.

Okay. I'm ultimately bored. I am just going to put ultimately random pictures in this post and caption them.

I am Tigerstar...

Oh really?

You'll be eaten if you don't believe me...

Should I be afraid?

ribbit

Sorry guys. I'm on a pic-postin-spreeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEeeeee!! This time it will be frogs. Rarely anybody likes these animals, but I do. So there.

*sigh* HOW LONG MUST I WAIT UNTIL I CAN LEAP OUTTT

From left to right: JSF, N, H, and Z.

WAIT...was that a hawk?!

Frog left: Hi, I'm H! Frog right (N): Don't mind him...*slap*

(Any of you notice the strange right eye of the non-smiling frog?)

This world is fascinating, mashaAllah.

I'm sorry...but my mom told me not to trust you.

Don't let my color fool you.

the voices are telling me to kill you

Size don't matter!

JSF doesn't like cats. Here's a horsey post for her.

-N

PS: It's kinda strange for me to search 'cute horses.' Horses are usually referred to as 'beautiful.' But whatevs.

HA! Compare the speed. XD

Horses are always so calm and they rarely open their mouths or do face expressions, so I could not think of any captions for any of these images. I hope you are not offended, JSF.

enjoy x3
