15 things you shouldn't do on Facebook!
Got these from a Facebook group: click here1. Do not abuse the Facebook status feature. It specifically says "What's on your mind?"...not "What are you currently doing every five minutes of your life".2. Do not become a fan of Facebook pages that don't apply to you. 3. Do not like your own statuses or photos otherwise I think people are going to think you're a little bit sad. Although, that's my opinion.4. Do not send silly gifts on Facebook applications. Yes...we are very grateful you considered sending us a kitten or a hug...but how about sending me something in real life?5. Do not post attention seeking statuses. This includes making up stories such as your grandmother falling down the stairs to get people to comment and like your status.6. Do not post indirect, subliminal statuses. If you are in love with 'him' and 'he' is constantly on your mind, do us all a freaking favour and tell him for heaven's sake! This includes b***hing about someone without writing the person's name. We all want to know who the d**khead is thank you very much.7. Do not, if you have Facebook on your mobile, post a photo of everything you eat during your daily adventures.8. Do not add someone, then post "Sorry...random add!" on the wall. You clearly thought that person was nice looking...but you shouldn't be adding people you don't know anyway.9. Do not have false middle names. You are not 'James Bedrock Goldstone' or 'Mandy JustinBieber Riddles'.10. Do not put an apostrophe in your name (such as 'George Harrold') just to appear first on your friend's chat list.11. Do not tag all your friends in a 'supposedly funny' photo you discovered on Google Images.12. Do not have false profile pictures. It's an insult to make us think you're a Pokémon.13. Do not ask people to comment or 'like' your photos of yourself. I refuse to explain myself with this one.14. Do not have your relationship status set to "It's complicated". If your relationship is so damned complicated that you have to identify it as such on your Facebook profile, get the hell off Facebook and go fix your relationship.15. Do not import your 'tweets' from Twitter. If we wanted to read your tweets...we would have Twitter accounts wouldn't we?NOTES:- The only reason you have to become a fan to see the '15 things' is to make it easy to show your friends about the page- If you don't like the page, you don't need to tell us...leave silently (especially if you got offended or took it too seriously, it was already suggested to give this page a skip)- You can't have the word 'Facebook' in the title of pages/groups (which explains 'FACEBÒÓK')...it's a joke- If you have any additonal things in minds (to add on to the '15 THINGS'), leave a wall post

Twenty Characteristics of Faith
A member of a delegation from the tribe of Azd Suwayd ibn Al-Harith reports:
I was one of the seven men who were sent as a delegation from our tribe to the Prophet, peace be upon him. When we entered the mosque and spoke to him, he was pleased with our appearance. He asked us what we were. We said: "We are believers." The Prophet smiled and said: "Every statement must have a substance. What is the substance of your statement and your beliefs?" Our answer was: "Fifteen characteristics, five of which we were ordered to believe in by your messengers, and five we were ordered by them to implement, and five were part of our moral code, prior to Islam, which we still maintain unless you reject any of them."
The Prophet asked: "What are the five in which my messengers have ordered you to believe?" We said: "They have ordered us to believe in
1) God,
2) His angels,
3) His books,
4) His messengers and
5) Resurrection after death."
The Prophet asked: "What are the five that my messengers have ordered you to implement?" We said:
1) "They have ordered us to declare that there is no deity other than God,
2) to attend regularly to our prayers,
3) to pay Zakat,
4) to fast in the month of Ramadan and
5) offer pilgrimage to the House if we are able to do so."
The Prophet then asked us: "And what are the five which you have adopted in pre-Islamic days?" Our answer was:
1) To be thankful in times of plenty and
2) to be patient in times of trial, and
3) to accept the turns of fate, and
4) to show our commitment and dedication when we meet the enemy, and
5) not to express pleasure at misfortunes befalling our enemy."
The Prophet commented: "These people are wise and learned. Indeed, they are so wise that they approach the degree of Prophets." He then said: "I am adding five more qualities so that you have 20 in all. If
you are truly as you have described, then
1) do not accumulate what you cannot eat,
2) do not build houses you shall not use for living,
3) do not compete for something you are leaving behind tomorrow,
4) have fear of God, to Whom you shall return and be accountable,
5) and look forward to what you are certainly facing and that in which you shall remain forever."
[Ibn Kathir, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah]

كي نرى الجانب الاخر
جلست فى الحديقة العامة و الدموع تملأ عينى ....كنت فى غاية الضيق والحزن ، ظروفى فى العمل لم تكن على ما يرام، بالإضافة إلى بعض المشاكل الشخصية الأخرى.
بعد عدة دقائق رأيت طفلاً مقبلاً نحوى و هو يقول : "ما أجمل هذه الوردة رائحتها جميلة جداً ". تعجبت لأن الوردة لم تكن جميلة بل ذابلة ، ولكنى أردت التخلص من الطفل فقلت : "فعلاً ، جميلة للغاية ".
عاد الولد فقال: "هل تأخذيها ؟". دهشت و لكنى أحسست إننى لو رفضتها سيحزن ، فمددت يدى و قلت : "سأحب ذلك كثيراً، شكراً ". انتظرت أن يعطيني الوردة و لكن يده بقيت معلقة فى الهواء
و هنا أدركت ما لم أدركه بسبب أنانيتي وانشغالي فى همومي .... فالولد كان ضريراً !! أخذت الوردة من يده، ثم احتضنته و شكرته بحرارة و تركته يتلمس طريقه و ينادى على أمه
بعض من أمور حياتنا تدفعنا للتذمر فهيا بنا نتأملها فى ضوء مختلف يدفعنا للشكر..... فهيا بنا نشكر :
الضوضاء ، لأن هذا يعنى إننا نسمع.
زحمة المرور، لأن هذا يعنى إننا نستطيع أن نتحرك و نخرج من بيتنا.
النافذة المحتاجة للتنظيف و الأواني التي فى الحوض،لأن هذا يعنى إننا نسكن فى بيت، بينما الملايين في العالم مشردون.
البيت غير النظيف بعد زيارة الضيوف،لأن هذا يعنى إن لدينا أصدقاء يحبوننا.
التعب الذى نشعر به فى نهاية اليوم، لأن هذا يعنى إن ربنا أعطانا الصحة لأتمام واجباتنا.
المنبه الذى يوقظنا فى الصباح من أحلى نوم،لأن هذا يعنى إننى مازلنا على قيد الحياة، ولنا
فرصة جديدة للتوبة و العودة إلى الله
النساء كثمرة التفاح على الشجر
التفاحة الأفضل تكون في أعلى الشجرة. ..ولكن .. بعض الرجال
لا يرغبون في الحصول على الأفضل ...
لأنهم يخافون من الوقوع، او من الفشل...
لذلك فهم يأخذون التفاحة المتعفنة التي سقطت على الأرض...
ورغم أنهاغير جيدة إلا أن الحصول عليها سهل...
هنا .. قد يعتقد التفاح الذي في أعلى الشجرة أن هناك شيء ما خطأ فيهن...
والحقيقة هي أنهن في غاية الروعة...
إذن لا تسقطي كي لا تكوني سهلة المنال

cool house
I want to live there!!!t is a rare building design that manages to appear at once contextual and completely alienated from its surroundings. The curves of this unique house byJ. Mayer H. Architects bleed out from its edges and flow into the landscape around it, yet the division of artificial and natural remains quite clear save for the ambiguous boundary of the landscaped yard.
The attention to volume, curves and fluidity extends from the exterior of the house to its interior spaces that seem carved out of a single solid substance and morph from one room into the next like a series of caverns. The shell of the structure is pierced by likewise curved openings that frame incredible views of the adjacent and distant natural and residential areas.
Moving back to the outside, it is clear that there is an overall logic and rhythm governing the structure as it relates to the land on which it sits – namely, that it pushes out in all directions and moves both with and against the hill it rests on. The real accomplishment of this house design lies not in its purely aesthetic qualities but in the complex ways in which it relates to its environment and seeks a balance between being on independent object building and part of its site and surroundings.

long time no post
It has been quiet a while since I last posted something to this blog.
I have been really busy the past few days with school and I was sick
with that puffy eye! I hate being sick.
Last night I went with Nosiba to help her pick a present for mother's day
She got her mom a purse and a pretty cup set.
While we were out we looked for skirts so that I can wear it to school instead of pants since the school uniform has a short t-shirt. I found a nice gray one that I want to buy.
Since I didn't have enough money with me I will have to find someone to go
with me today to buy the skirt.

Quote of the Day
The greatest things ever done on Earth
have been done little by little."- William Jennings Bryan Sunday, February 28, 2010
Quote from Into the wild
Quote Assignment
“Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean toward each other, black and ominous in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter that was mirthless as the smile of sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the wild, the savage, frozen hearted Northland wild”.
~Whit Fank by Jack London“Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway” Alex entered the spruce forest feeling cold and hungry after the excitement of leaving his life behind and entering the wild, and after the food ran out. Having nothing to eat in the chilly wind Alex begins to realize that life in the wild might not be as exhilarating as he would have liked. The forest does not usually smile to everyone entering it. It might have taken Alex a while to realize how dark and lonely the forest can become.
“A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness”. Life in the wild can sometimes be exciting and maybe even thrilling. Alex might have enjoyed a few weeks in the wild, having fun and fulfilling his dream. Yet there might have been a time when Alex felt lonely, maybe even missing his parents. Sitting lonely in the dark cold forest, with hunger and only a few books to read, Alex remembered his life back in Virginia where there were people around him even if they were not always kind. Even his parents whom he described as hypocrites and liars in the dark forest he could probably see that life with his family might not have been as bad as he thought it was. Going to the wild was a great adventure, it might have been fun and exhilarating, but Alex realized that the adventure should come to an end.
“There was a hint in it of laughter that was mirthless as the smile of sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility”. Sometimes the decisions we make in life do not work out as well as we would have liked. Chris McCandless made the decision to come to the wild, but now he could see the forest laughing at him for his foolish decision; coming into the wild unprepared to face the dangers is probably the biggest mistake he made in his lifetime.
“It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life.” Chris ignored the warning that wiser, older, and more experienced people told him. Many people tried to warn Alex of the danger he was about to face. Alex might have been able to survive in the wild, if he had listened to other people’s advice such as Jim Gallien, who advised Chris to take some extra supplies with him. A little more food and a warmer jacket and Alex might have been able to survive in the wild. He could have avoided the hunger and cold that killed him.
“It was the wild, the savage, frozen hearted Northland Wild” This was the end of Alexander Supertramp who had taken over the mind of a young, successful, healthy man and led him to his death in the frozen hearted wild, and there alone without any food or a warm jacket Alex/Chris died.

Vampire Diaries Series
Watch the Vampire Diaries free on this site:
I love the VampireDiares! I think this show is waaay better than Twilight! I really like the characters in the Vampire Diaries more than in the Twilight movie. Nina Dobrev and the other two guys are great!Quote of the Day
"'For every failure, there's an alternative
course of action. You just have to find it.
When you come to a roadblock,
take a detour.'"

The War Works Hard- dunya mikhail
User:Noura Salem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
How eager
and efficient!
Early in the morning
it wakes up the sirens
and dispatches ambulances
to various places
swings corpses through the air
rolls stretchers to the wounded
summons rain
from the eyes of mothers
digs into the earth
dislodging many things
from under the ruins...
Some are lifeless and glistening
others are pale and still throbbing...
It produces the most questions
in the minds of children
entertains the gods
by shooting fireworks and missiles
into the sky
sows mines in the fields
and reaps punctures and blisters
urges families to emigrate
stands beside the clergymen
as they curse the devil
(poor devil, he remains
with one hand in the searing fire)...
The war continues working, day and night.
It inspires tyrants
to deliver long speeches
awards medals to generals
and themes to poets
it contributes to the industry
of artificial limbs
provides food for flies
adds pages to the history books
achieves equality
between killer and killed
teaches lovers to write letters
accustoms young women to waiting
fills the newspapers
with articles and pictures
builds new houses
for the orphans
invigorates the coffin makers
gives grave diggers
a pat on the back
and paints a smile on the leader's face.
It works with unparalleled diligence!
Yet no one gives it
a word of praise.
