beauty tips

A dear old lady was asked what she used to make her complexion so beautiful and her whole being so bright and attractive.

She answered:

"I use for my lips, truth

I use for my voice, kindness

I use for my ears, compassion

I use for my hands, charity

I use for my figure, uprightness

I use for my heart, love

I use for any who do not like me, prayer."

ayat-ayat cinta

Synopsis

Ayat Ayat Cinta is a beautifully portrayed Islamic love story – n im truly in luv with dis story...
it is a tale of a virtuous Muslim protagonist who overcomes all obstacles of life maintaining pure ideals.

Fahri bin Abdillah is a poor, intelligent student who wins a scholarship to complete his graduate degree at Egypt's esteemed Al Azhar University. Very disciplined and dedicated by nature, Fahri embraces his life in Cairo, completing his studies and translation of religious books with full enthusiasm, exactly according to pre-determined targets.

Only one goal is left unattempted: the pursuit of marriage.

For Fahri is innocent and pure, he doesn't believe in the concept of relationships prior to marriage. He is inarticulate and shy around women. All his life, only two women have been close to him – his mother and grandmother.

Life changes drastically in Egypt for he suddenly finds himself surrounded by four beautiful, distinctly different women.

Maria Girgis, a shy, open-minded Coptic-Christian neighbor who is attracted to the teachings of the Holy Al Quran, finds herself falling in love with Fahri (a fact she only reveals to her diary).

Nurul, a student at Al Azhar like Fahri, is the Muslim daughter of a renowned Indonesian cleric. Fahri feels unworthy of her and thus ignores his feelings for her, leaving her confused and guessing.

Noura, an abused Egyptian neighbor, develops strong romantic feelings for Fahri, who in turn simply sympathizes with her situation. His romantic rejection destroys her and eventually leads to a false accusation of rape.

Aisha, a German Turkish student in Cairo haunts Fahri with her beautiful eyes. Following an incident on the metro where Fahri defends her against narrow minded bigoted Muslims, both immediately develop feelings for each other.

As the story unravels, the protagonist makes the audience face the daunting decisions he himself faces, and forces us to marvel at his undying loyalty to the true ideals of Islam as he ultimately makes the choice of a lifetime.

* I bought the book too, huhu :)

now?

i guess dis is the end of everything....

the flame of love is now juz a dark loneliness
before this, when i go wrong, u go right after me
when i say leave me alone, u go right beside me
when i say im ok, u know i lie..
now?
ignorance filled the atmospheres..
coldness breathed near my ears..
mmm...may i seek for ur apology
sorry that im nothg but trouble (--)
an apology is a good way to have the last word

incredulous

b..

i love u syg..
damn much in love with u..

b..
since the incident that i told you, ive been burdened with calls and curiousities
taking a swipe at me..playing psycho on me..collapsing my senses..
my mind ws pregnant with irrationality..
i became stupid..
thinking without logic..i ws senseless..

im sorry syg..
u noe u're my angel :)
please guide me as always..

whut should i do?

sacrificium~

all that im living for and all that im dying for

are actually all that i cant ignore, not even a glance away

feeling alone at night though everyone's in sight
i can feel the night is beginning to separate me from living
understanding me more than my own goodself
im confidence to say this after all ive seen
after all ive been through
piercing every thought together, to find the words to make me better
if i only knew how to pull myself apart
if only i knew how to make me better

now
nothing that i wanted for although i used to want more
making me to lock the last open door
and now my shadow are gaining on me

i do believe that dreams are sacred that ive lived to feel them
jz take my darkest fear and play them
play them like a lullaby
play them like a reason why

should it hurt to love your guardians?
should it hurt to love the your disambuigations?
or better to hate it?
should it hurt when they saw none?

should it hurt to love your bloodties?
should it hurt to be in ones position?
should it hurt to respect both pleas?
should it hurt to choose not aggrievate the situation?
should it hurt to be jeopardised on ones situation?
should it hurt to choose your own future ?
your own path?

should it hurt to love your life?
should it hurt to love and be loved?
should it hurt to love the one you love?
should it hurt to be loved in return?
or, to let them go that you wont hurt them?

should it hurt to be yourself?
to express yourself?

should i feel like i do?
or, should i lock the last open door?
martyrs?

to live in fucking silence?
to be a damn ignorance?
to not being ...me?
