YO WHAT'S UP, SIS

Salamun 'alaikum (=

It's me again . hee

Speaking about girls, there is something that cross my mind .



Subhanallah. Look, the baby is so cute

Masya-Allah, there are so many assignment that we need to submit :( 



I've been living in a world where I keep hearing these two lines and something like that  . Safe and sound . I'm not that good but there will always be someone who keep reminding me to speak politely . The first person to teach me this is, obviously, my mum and also my dad . Then, growing up going to 'sekolah agama' and all girls' school, it made the matter really important . 

I admitted that sometimes it was easy for me to get influenced by something . Back then in school, I would always said, "Perghh, this is cool" . Then, I would get ashamed by myself because all my friends were really good and innocent . Why ? I used the not-so-good exclamation instead of subhanallah and so on . 

Maybe some of you might think that it is nothing . It is normal . We are teens, so, it is our way to express ourselves, but, it is something for me .

I am not saying that I am really good or what, or that my friends are the best or my parents are the best exemplary or what not .  My point is, as a girl, we should and must mind our language . Basically, girls are said to be lenient, subtle, gentle and you name it . Yeah, that is our core ( Like in Rise of The Guardians, the core of the Santa is wonder . hihi ) 


Now, I came to a world where I met everyone . I have been forced to see the real world . A world which has been hidden from me before, and...

What the hell , this is ridiculous! 

Heh, what a bitch. !@#$%

This is what I'm facing now . A real world . You got me ? Frankly speaking, resulting from the safe and sound world, I have turned into someone who become a bit sensitive when other people say a harsh or rude word to me . Believe it or not, there was a time back then when I felt offended if someone use the word 'aku' with me (if that someone was a girl) . Hee .

Hey, it was a long time ago . I am okay with it now . Don't be afraid to talk to me . Peace . 


Finally, I hope that all of you girls (and guys) get my point . I do not have any intention to mock someone or what, I'm just voicing out my thought, as a girl . I know we cannot change drastically but you know, you can try it now . Before your future mother-in-law get a heart attack hearing your words (haha . I'm kidding >_< ) What's the point in being a gorgeous looking girl but when people hear your words, they make them feel uncomfortable . Lets be a better person, you and me together :) 

Watch out, girls ..

Lots of love,
Maisarah

I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING

Salam sayyidul ayyam :)

Here I am again . How's your day ? I hope you are doing well . Well, we got a hectic week here and we nearly died ( just kidding . haha )

Are you making any decision today ?

I'm sure you do . Picking up which clothes to wear to class . Then, what shoes to wear, the beige or the red one . That is what we always do and it is only a small matter . Without realizing it, we are making decisions every single day . We choose between two options, to do or not to do, to say or not and everything else .
And, our decision making is based on myriad of reasons, make it our families, friends, future and what not . Sometimes, we felt that we made a decision just by following our conscience . Like we were directed to do that .

Recently, I just made a decision on something . I’ve been thinking about that matter for a long time . Then , one night, hesitantly, I told my friend what I’m rooting for . I knew that it would affect our friendship but I just had to do it . It was for our own good . It did break my heart..too. He questioned it . He requested a solid reason . I felt that he didn’t really understand why I did that .


Have you ever feel that you do something solely on emotional basis ?
That friend of mine asked if that was my final say, whether I was being influenced by someone or by my topsy-turvy emotions .  

Many people said that girls and women usually are heavily affected by their emotion when they act or say or think . It is true, girls ?  ( o_0)

I might say that, yeah, there are times which we are prone to do that ( without we realizing it actually ) and we will surely regret it later . ( Haha . It’s not funny, but I just want to laugh . I’m sorry for the guy )

However, there are one thing that we all should know, girls are made to be more thoughtful and have a deeper foresight, and that’s why sometimes people ( it is the opposite gender, usually ) do not really get the point .
Just look when we had a 3 days 2 nights camp, all the girls would be bringing a bulky luggage containing all kind of stuffs that did not even cross the boys’ minds like rechargeable emergency lamp . Why ? Well, just in case, yeah..just in case the bonfire would not light up, the firewood are all wet and many more . The girls had figured it out everything and that was why the girls always had a spare .

What about it now ? Do you guys get it ? We do not randomly select an option without thinking a thousand and one reason behind it . It seems unnecessary at times but all praise to The Almighty that He has created such characteristic . Such characteristic that well suit for a mother :)  

So, girls, do realize this and make use of your nature thoroughly . Daaa.. and stay tuned ! ('=



That's normal . hee


Love,
Maisarah

Girls, Books, Romance & Edward Cullen

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. & Halla~

What do you guys do for fun when you have that extra time of your day?

Me, without the roses and the swing.. And very much everything else.. 

      Well, as for me, I find reading novels and books as a pleasurable and relaxing thing to do whenever I am free or just bored or stressed of studying and assignments.. I don't know if it is scientifically proven or not, but I think women tend to read more than men do and we prefer fiction books with the genres of romance and fantasy. At least, I do...

      I used to read a lot when I was in high school but I stopped when I became 16.. Reasons? I shifted my passion to K-pop.. HAHA.. However, I have succumbed to reading novels again lately, and it is not a very good thing for me now. I mean, reading is good and all but I am facing my final exams SOON.. And I don't think I need this kind of distraction for it may jeopardize my exams' results and worst, my future!

      Hmmm.. Apparently, even if people say that reading is good for us which I totally agree with, I have to say that it is not sooo good for me.. Okay, the reason being is that reading makes me passive. When I succumbed to books, I might as well not move for hours and hours, staying up till past wee hours and skipping my meals.. That's how badly obsessed I am with reading.. My doctor once, well, more than once actually, chided me for reading too much and not moving as much.. hehe.. It was that bad for me.. Unknowingly, reading excessively especially without having any breaks may affect our health.. Not to mention our eyes as it would be too stressed out from all the reading. Of course, I am not saying reading is bad but we have to be modest in doing anything and to care for our health and our surroundings..

       Ohh! I am quite curious as to why girls prefer fiction novels especially romance novels compared to other genres.. Hmm.. I asked my roommates and one of them said that we prefer  it because it is as a way for us to get out of the reality.. Hmmmmm... I kind of agree with her because women like to daydream and fantasize about their dream romance, rightttt? Well, I do.. Sometimes.. Oppss.. There goes my secret.. I supposed it is because women like to get imaginative and creative when it comes to romance.. I mean, most of us have our own dream guy or dream husband, even if that guy is sooo ridiculously perfect and may not even exists in real life.. Still, we, ladies love the idea of perfection in love... Just like the idea of Edward Cullen from the Twilight Saga (my favourite book, so far ! GO GO TWI-hard!) who is sooooo freaking perfect and handsome and hot and on top of that, he is a freaking VAMPIRE !! How in the world could a blood-sucking creature be the perfect guy every girl covets?? *sigh Girls will always be girls..

      That is all, girls! I hope you enjoy the post this time around as I think many of us can relate..rightttt? hehe.. Well, keep calm and keep reading but don't forget your responsibilities and love yourself more, k! 


Love,
Rahimah

Let's Cover Up!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. & Bounjour ~




   What does hijab means to you?


      Personally, hijab to me is not just about wearing your 'tudung' which what most of us called 'hijab'. It is about covering your aurah which consists of every part of us except our face and both of our palms. Today, I want to talk specifically about scarf or hijab or tudung or whatever you call them coz nowadays there are a lot of names for it to resemble the different kind of styles women wear. Hmmm.. the BIG question is whether the style you are wearing truly covers your aurah..? 

       There is a malay proverb that goes 'tepuk dada, tanya selera,' which means ask yourself what something really means to you.. Well, that is a question I want all of you girls to ask yourself and a question I want to ask myself.  Aurah sometimes, may seems like a trivial thing to some people which unfortunately is unforgivable for a person who calls herself a muslim by name or by heart. 

      Today, there are a lot of styles to wear your hijab.. Whether you like it with double or triple tiers, 1 or 10 twists or 'lilitan', no brooch at all or a number of them at once.. It all does not matter as long as it covers your aurah or to be specific your chests and your neck.. What I have learnt from the years of wearing hijab, the length of your hijab does matter but if you are smart enough to manipulate its length to sufficiently cover your chest then, it does not matter how long the or wide the hijab is initially. Even a normal size 'tudung bawal' which is probably around 45" can be a 60" wide one.. Hmm.. There is a plenty of tutorials out there if you are curious to how you can do it so go and take a look... hehe.. 

       One more thing, you should also know how to cover your neck too coz it is part of our aurah, you know~ Wear something that is not transparent enough for the part of your neck to be seen especially when there is light. You can wisely choose the option to wear neck covers OR wear hijab that is made of good material that does not allow light to go through it. There are plenty of choices with better material and beautiful patterns for the ever stylish hijabistas out there. 

       As a hijabista, you should not be worried about not being as stylish or as up to date in fashion as the free-haired girls or even non-muslim women because I believe there are more and more choices out there that are just as beautiful but covers our aurah perfectly. It is good to see that there are more people  and designers who are concern of covering our aurah as it gives us a better chance to be a better muslim in carrying our duties to cover our aurah perfectly.

UNREQUITED LOVE

Salam alaik :)

Enjoy your read !



You bring me up
You bring me up
I’m flying
Then..then
I’m drowning in your love

It hurts me
Cause you don’t even care
Cause you don’t even know
How deep my love was for you


(p/s : Thanks to oral com, this lyric come surfacing into my mind . I know its cliché,yeah. Haha)


“ Mia, I have something to tell you . Actually I don’t love you . I like being friend with you, that’s all ”
It hurts, right ? when you actually love him .
Yeah, it hurts, but I don’t wanna write about this .


Situation 1 :
13 March
 (15:00) : You just came back from class and after that, you immediately got yourself busy baking a cake for your friend . It’s her birthday today . You wanted to surprised her by making the cake yourself .
(23:59) : You were smiling alone . Feeling satisfied and elated . She was very happy after you planned a birthday party for her .

09 November
(00:00) No greeting from her .
(10:00) You met her at college, but she only asked about assignments .
(21:00) Again, you met her . She was sitting with a group of your classmates at the musolla

10 November
(00:00) You still don’t get a birthday greeting from her . Not to mention a present . You went to bed devastated .


Situation 2
Amirah has been waiting for about one and half hour . She couldn’t reach Ilyia’s phone . She was sitting alone in Secret Recipe, the temptation of Chocolate Indulgence didn’t affect her. She only ate it a bit . After another 30 minutes of waiting…
“ Hello Mira, I’m sorry I can’t make it .”
“ Ohhhh . I see, but can I know, why there is so much noise there ? Where are you ? ”
“ Oh . I forget to tell you . I’m at Stadium Putra . I’m going to meet SUJU . I’m already melting…argh”
“ Oh. Why didn’t you tell me earlier ? You have promised to accompany me here doing my shopping for the dinner party.”
“ Oh. I’m sorry .” tutt..tutt..tutt

***

What will you feel if you are the one in Situation 1?
Can you guess Amirah’s feeling ?
Yeah . This is what I mean . Have you ever feel something like this ? Unrequited love between friends .
You really care about your roommate, but she does not appreciate it .
You help your classmate . Then, one day, when you ask for her help, she does not willing to help you back .     

I have felt it . It hurt me so much . What did I do after that ? I stop caring for her . I stop contacting her . I wanted to forget her . I lived in hatred .
Then, one day, I found an article .
It said, you befriend with someone not because you want she or he gives back whatever kindness you have given . We only hope that one day, all the kindness would be repay handsomely by The Almighty, because it is because of Him we build the friendship . We befriend someone because it is His order and we want to gain his blessing upon doing that . It takes our sincerity and sacrifice make it blooms .


So, for all of us, Girlss

Do not get discourage with this unrequited friendship . Get going with all your kindness and charm, you would be reward for it later and if you are lucky, she will finally notice and appreciate you . This also show that you are a strong and noble person . Be a great friend ! then be happy dear :) 



Love,
Maisarah
