    Underdog---appreciate that I didn't get the red card. It's a she btw.

     

    Ok, my boss said today that I was "pretty remarkable at handling stress" :) That was nice. I disagree, because when that fire broke out in the building complex next to us 2 weeks ago (level 5--highest level---some suicidal maniac set himself on fire), I freaked out & lost my composure. My sister, on the other hand, handled it better.

    mos def is overrated

    common is overrated

    and I hope to God Lupe Fiasco doesn't follow.

     

    ok--I can't totally hate on MosDef, I know he's giving back and collaborating with artists (I most admire) & supporting some much needed initiatives---but then again, I can't help but think he's sorta a sell-out!

    Lupe Fiasco---he's muslim, talented, & I'm a fan.

     

    However, ladies & gentlemen, I would say watch out for rising MUSLIM hiphop talents. For starters, check out:

    (check their forum for updates, their friendlist is too long to go through)

    once, I gave my all to him.

    my most prized possession.

    my heart.

    my qalb.

    my every

    thought.

    wishes.

    desires.

     

    he was once all I hoped he would be

    so he could be my guiding light

    my soldier 4 life

    my supporter

    companion

    my confidant

     

    he was~~

     

    it's funny how moments are like a fleeting thought

     

    you want to capture it~~~~but it's gone, split second, but it's essence just lingers on for a bit longer, like jasmine fragrance.

    love.

     

    to Chemistry.com, it's biological.

    to traditionalist, it's security [financial].

    to shallow minds, it's just physical.

     

    but to some us, the thought of existing without love,

    no,

    it's too unbearable to imagine.

    think.

    it just doesn't register.

     

    without love, we all wouldn't know how to survive this temporary realm.

     

    love guided & took humanity out of darkness.

     

    the Prophet (pbuh) is love.

     

    hooyo is love.

     

    my mentor is love.

     

    and without the mercy & love of God, we would be doomed.

    Assalamu Alaikum everyone...just wanted to say Jazakallah 4 sharing. All very helpful tips.

     

    here's what I do:

     

    *read the Quran

    *read the Seerah

    *listen to lectures by the knowledgable on my IPod.

    *attend conferences/workshops at least once a month....ok living here, it's hard to do thathere ---large muslim community very little activity :(

    *visit Islamic blogs/websites.

    *soon to come: go back to memorizing the Quran.

    :( Well I missed the convention this year...except for the last session with Sh.Zaid Shakir....pleasantly suprised that he sang for us!!! (a second time for us during the retreat)

     

    However I did attend the retreat smile.gif What a year!!!! More attendees...and a great time with my girls Haneefah and Ilham (ok girls no more changing screen names, even I get confused who's who sometimes)

     

    I noticed I write less and less each time I visit here..what's up with that??? Anyway, missing the convention was Ok with me this year because the retreat made it all worth it! I got to shop a bit, made new friends, saw some familiar faces! My mind is really blank right now, I'd like to hear more people's thoughts on the retreat/RIS/concert.

     

    Ma'asalaama.
