BD, Dubai, and Chilies

InshaAllah we are most likely going to BD (Bangladesh) on the 8th of December and coming back on the 14th of January. We shall also be staying in Dubai for 2.5 days inshaAllah. (Dear friends whom I know personally, please do not disclose this information to anyone. It could get be in big trouble.)

In BD, we'll have so much fun inshaAllah. Especially me and my cousin. We decided that one day we'll make dinner together and make foreign food, and then another day we'll steal out by ourselves and roam the city

InshaAllah, when we go to Dubai, Imma buy a siutcase full of abayas inshaAllah, cuz' Duabi is the place to get abayas, as far as I've heard. I'm also gonna visit Burj Khalifa inshaAllah, and I'll go all the way to the top floor with my dad inshaAllah, because my mother has a phobia of elevators. (not phobia phobia, she's just afraid of them. She won't go on the unless she has to. But not like she's sick or something.) Then I'll take a pic in the highest floor of the tallest building in the world inshaAllah. And, if we stay for the night there, as we most likely will, I'll ask my parents to take me to the fountains. I saw a video of them on youtube, and they're beautiful mashaAllah.

We'll be staying most of time in Sharjah. I really wanted to go to the beaches, but it's very unlikely. But still, I'll do some of my begging that I'm really good at and maybe we can go. The beaches are best there in January anyways.

I'm hoping to get some really cute and funky abayas there, instead of the cheap, ugly, bling-bling ones they sell here in America. I still don't know what to wear on the plane though. Any suggestions?


I hate hot chocolate made with water by the way. I know it's so random, but today, in hifths class, two of the boys went and made hot chocolate for everyone, and they made it with water. So, hot cocoa made by boys + made with water = not as good as I like it. I'm gonna turn down the hot chocolate tomorrow. I've gotten sick of it anyways.

I have a Quran project due on Friday and I practically have nothing done. We have to make a poster board about Quran. But since it's going to be shown in CHEP Expo, which is basically a day in which all CHEP students show their amazing works, the teacher wanted something big. So what I'm gonna do inshaAllah, is, I'll take two green foam poster boards, and I'll cut the spine of two binders, with the rings. Then I'll super glue them together like a book. Then I'll take poster paper with information on the Quran and put in the the binder rings. So, it'll be like a Quran. I'll obviously put golden designs on the cover too. And, I'll make a Quran holder too, so the "Quran Book" can sit on it, just like a real Quran. Don't you think that'll be nice?

Yesterday in lunch time I had rice and dhal (lentil soup) and fish. The fish had like, 5 chilies in it, so one of my friends were like, "Hey, dare me to eat this whole thing?"

"I dare you. And if you don't, you're a coward"

Then, she slowly took the chillie and put it in her mouth!


She chewed and chewed. "It isn't that bad you know."  Then her eyes got wider, and her cheeks got red. She started panting like crazy, and made a beeline for the water fountain. When she came back, all of us were doubling over with laughter. He nose was running and their were tears in her eyes. She made me do it too, but I swallowed it before it could get too spicy. But it still left a burning sensation in my mouth. Think about her. Poor girl.

Today, we were pretending to be mean to each other and I was tickling everyone. I can usually "out-tickle" everyone because I'm not ticklish anywhere except the bottom of my feet. Then we took one of the girl's water bottle and we kept on passing it around so she and her bf couldn't get it. What happened in the end was, the girl's bf and I were holding and pulling the bottle, when all of a sudden, I squeeze the bottle and pop! All this water falls on the other girl. I was laughing and laughing so hard.

How are your days going?

Evil Eyes and BD

Hi assalamualaikum everyone!!!!!


Hope everyone is doing well. My cold is better now alhamduliAllah. Just have a cough a a very clogged nose. Hate that part.

But, other than that, everything is going well alhamduliAllah.

Today was back to school night, and I tried out a found-out-by-accident-trick. When my father was talking to one of my teachers, she said I was really good and everything, and then, of course, my father asked if anything was wrong with me. Then she took a deep breath. What I did was, I looked at her with really big, innocent, questioning, daring eyes. But all the while innocent. It was weird. I made my eyes so big, and put so much passion behind them, that my plan worked. My teacher hesitated before saying something about me. And she said it in a small and quick voice. Can you believe it! AND she was the principal also. (I know, I know. Why is the principal teaching me? Because she just does. That's my answer.) I was able to slightly manipulate the principal!!! And I kept on doing that until I guess my father saw me and shooed me away.

So, I went outside, feeling reckless. We have a big tree right outside the fence of our school and one thick branch sticks in that you're not supposed to climb. So, feeling naughty like I was, I looked around for any teachers, and climbed the branch. I sat on the branch, I swung on the branch, and from there, I stood and sat on the fence, I laid on it, I swung my feet over it so I was almost out of the school. My friends were like, "You don't seem like a person to climb trees!" Perhaps I don't. I usually look very proper and everything. But sometimes these spells take over me and I become.......different. And plus, I can barely ever resist climbing a perfectly climable tree. I just can't.

Then, I played tag, after so long, and ran really hard, and started panting, but it was fun. Then we all went to the bathroom and took off our hijabs and complimented each other on our looks. Hahaha. Cheesy, I know, but, who does not do that?


LOL. I know I sound really immature. But I have spells.


Before doing all this though, form 4:00 to 5:00 I was just cleaning our classroom. Let me tell you, our classroom ALWAYS looks HORRIBLE. But, after an hour of cleaning and decorating, it looked semi decent. So, I left the room content.


The director has just decided that hifz class will be up till 4:30 from now on. But, with packing, and rapping up class, and waiting for Baba, school will really end at 5:00. So, from Monday, I'll be home at about 5:15 everyday except Friday. I don't mind much. As long as the boys don't get too crazy with the hot chocolate.

And remember how I said that SOME of the boys in class were polite? Well, scratch that out. You should see our room at the end of the day. Looks like a tornado hit it. None of them are real gentlemen. THEY DROP STANDING FANS ON EACH OTHERS HEADS. AND PLAY SWORD FIGHTING WITH MARKERS.  And what do I do? Sit down and once I get too irrated I yell. Well, kinda raise my voice, but in hifz class, it just so happens that my voice goes down a few notches. So, once I go, "Can everyone please STOP??!!!!"  Well, then they get the message, and calm down for a few minutes. But, after the silence has wore off, they get crazy again. What can I say? Apes.

WE SHALL BE GOING TO BD INSHALLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll be going on Emirates. Most likely December 9th to January 14th. I'm so happy!!! You don't know how much I've been wanting to go to Bangladesh. But we're only staying for 5 weeks. How sad. The last two times we went we stayed for 5 MONTHS. Oh well. AlhamduliAllah. At least we're going.





We're gonna read The Giver at school. I'll probably finish it by Wednesday. Has anyone read it before? It sounds really good.










Can't wait for.......................Dunno what. But I'm so excited!!!

A Sore Throat and Pink Hijab Day

Hey, Salaams blog readers!


Yesterday, after I cam back from school, my throat started hurting, just a little but though. After I had some delicious barbecue, (baba makes THE BEST) I finished my homework and went to sleep. Then, when I wake up this morning, I can barely talk!!! This is the third time I lost my voice.
1st time, got a cold. The "little voice" lasted only a day
2nd time, went to 6 flags and screamed my head off, so I was litterlally without a voice for about 3 days
3rd time, today, it was cold, and, I guess my throat felt it, so, i can barely swallow, and, for a few hours today, it hurt so much i couldn't talk too much.

But now it's better alhamduliAllah. It was raining CONSTANTLY today. I mean, like, the whole day. It was fun during dismissal though. Not many people had umbrellas, so, when I took mine out, all my friends started coming and crowding under it. After some time, I was like, Hey, it doesn't rain everyday, and pretty soon I'm gonna get sick of it, so, let's make best use! And I just stayed out in the rain. I liked it. hahaha.

I'm REALLY HAPPY THOUGH because the school might just let me be the head of the yearbook group, if they have one. I really hope they do. I've always wanted to be part of a yearbook group.

Since I'm not on the student government, but I am one of the representatives, I told my closest friend, the vice president, to make sure there is a "Pink Hijab Day." The rest of the "Hijab Days" will be when I am most likely vice president, so, I don't worry about those.

Tomorrow is debate. We're debating whether cell phones should be allowed for students or not. I'm opposition. That means I'm going for they shouldn't.


I still can't believe Anwar Al-Awlaki died. I feel like the red ball in the picture. Most people here in America are happy that "The maniac Al Qaeda (they can't even say that properly, for crying out loud!) leader is safely killed." They didn't even try him. What the government did was unconstitutional. Anwar Al Awlaki was an American citizen. And by law, every American citizen is to be tried before being sentenced. I though that No one is guilty till they are proven. I feel so bad and horrible and mad. He used to live in the same city as us, San Diego, and used to be the Imam for masjid Ribat, which I still go to at times. I even attended one of his lectures when he came to our area. Well, my parents did. I just drew and took pieces of  paper with questions from the sisters to him. I even remember, one time, I was really shy, and I took a question to him. And then he grinned and asked me, "Where's the money?" in a playful manner. I blushed and became embarrassed. (now don't go saying, why were you embarrassed? I was 5, for Allah's sake!!!!)  I'll always remember that. He was a nice guy. Ya, so maybe he had a few problems with supporting suicide bombers and stuff like that. I don't support that. But everyone has mistakes! May Allah Bless him and Forgive him.

I'm reading, The Scarlet Letter. It's a very good book. And best of all, nothing inappropriate. Not even kissing, which, in today's society, is as little as nothing. The book may be about Hester doing something bad, but they don't even say the word in it. It just everyone saying she did something sinful and her head should be chopped of blah blah blah. I like the part when they say ye gossips. sounds cool. I keep on repeating it to myself. tehehe.




So long!

Cute Fall Outfit

I REALLY like this outfit. The blue and grey are perfect for fall, and the purse gives a dash of color to an otherwise dark outfit. Seriously 10 out of 10. Well, actually, make that a nine. Cuz' I'd substitute those glasses for a cute pair of shades. 

But otherwise, like I always say, LUUUV IT!!

Hey, Hi, Sorry,

Assalamualaikum my dearest blog readers!!!


I am SO SORRY I haven't posted for SO LONG. My computer was down, so I couldn't do ANYTHING. It was horrible. But, now I'm back alhamduliAllah, so, let me give you the latest news.


I ran for vice president at school. Me and my closest friend were running. Turns out that I lost by 1 POINT. I know, say alhamduliAllah, but, the most disturbing part was, NONE of my girlfriends in my class voted for me. I mean, how bad is that? I guess at times like these, you really find out who your friends are. I don't blame the girl who ran. She was obviously supposed to vote for herself. But the others, seriously? I really don't know what to say.

They're putting the people who ran but didn't get office into the "Shura Council"  Which, to me, basically means "The group for losers"  But, I guess SOMETHING is better than nothing, right? They'll be like, advisers to the board. Like, before they make a decision, they'll talk to the council first. So, I guess I will have a little influence.

InshaAllah, I REALLY hope to win for next term, which will be start in February all the way to the end of the school year. I'm actually happy, because now, I have a bigger chance of winning the second term, and that's actually the better one, because then you can pick the end of the year field trip and parties and everything. Cool, right? So make dua so I can get it next time inshaAllah.

So, I just MIGHT go to BD (aka Bangladesh) in December. IM SO HAPPY ALHAMDULIALLAH!!!  I also have a new duffle bag, or whatever you call it. The ones that are a duffle bag but have wheels and a hidden handle. So two-in-one. It's green with pink polka dots. And I got a matching purse with it which is pink with green polka dots. May not sound very nice, but, it's cute.

I'm not sure what to wear though. Probably a shelvar kamis. Or jeans. Dunno. I just looooooov traveling. It's so fun.

So, I suppose you'll be waiting for a new outfit now. I'll try to do it today inshaAllah!!  Salaams!!



(and don't forget to make dua!)
