woot wooot woot!

won't you congratulate me ?

I dumped another guy and trust me that 'dump' has our best interests at heart.

I am free again..

I am not a slave to my emotions, and to human social crap...

yoohoo~

And I am not at all affected..

I am glad!!

This is how I know I've made the right decision...

It is me I've loved all along...
 
(and that one guy who doesn't care, but that's okay)

I am freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Let me start by stating that I do not question whether we should wish or refrain from wishing non-Muslims on their festivals. It's not that I do not care, I do, but care less than say whether I have given alms for the week  or not.

What I do wish we all educated people do is that we wake up from our default setting of accepting whatever appears as true because so many people agree with it . 


When others start to celebrate Christmas on its real date then we can start questioning if we should be a part of it. 


Jesus MAY have been born on 25th Dec, we may never know, but we do theorize is his birthday celebration was shifted in order to coincide with a pagan celebration. At least some of the christmas elements are pagan. Now, it's no longer a celebration of ahlul-kitab, is it? 


Besides, now christmas is little more than another Black Friday. Do you know what Black Friday is and how it came about? 


Let's not be among those who are just another lamb/cow that follows herd mentality, whether it's coming from a religious scholar or it's related by your funny friends. 


Stay focused.
Then all those arguments that pop up on certain dates every year need not matter or keep you busy.


Children are dying by the thousands every day, some slowly and some in a matter of seconds,
and what we care about is whether someone said something or didn't?


If you die today, are you so sure that God will have no reason to punish you other than for saying "Merry Christmas" to a thousand people? Is that His top priority?

I should like to leave that question rhetorical, but there are dumb dumbs out there..so
NO.. I know for one that I will be punished for the prayers I neglected before anything.. for the injustice I've done to people in words or action. I will be punished for the time I wasted not doing good and not remembering God and not stopping evil & immoral happenings that happened right in front of me, before I get punished for wishing someone Happy birthday or Happy Diwali. 
And for me someone saying that this  particular issue is so bad/ so right, is either denying that we have bigger Ummah issues, or he/she is saying that he/she is soooo good that this is his biggest worry.

Good day to all!

Season's greetings, my friends!

Long time no see and look, it's my favorite month again! ~ December oh la la la~

Today I am writing in a crappy mood, although I am being cheerful about it on the exterior.
I do that a lot.. I am cheerful cheerful person..

But this time, you can actually help me..
I added a complete stranger on FB after he 'friend-requested' me
That's not the worst part...yet
I gave it time and he's bearable..
I can't prove that he's lying to me in any way, except until yesterday..
yesterday he divulged some information that yes i might have asked about indirectly (but he did it and joking that i'd put him under pressure on the subject).
now, i didnt go immediately googling to see if it's true.
the next day i did though..
i didnt find info to support what he said 
for half of that information, it's possible that i am not getting info becuz the subject is of no interest to wikipedia and the country the information lies in may not care a bit about this to make a wiki entry about it.
the other half, is without a doubt, a lie unless he has autocorrect on or he mistyped something or he is misinformed himself for some weird reason..

it's put a damper to my otherwise excellent Thursday..

lying is a deal-breaker for me, in friendship & everything else, but i can't yet prove that he is in fact lying..i am not god, but i do give people the benefit of the doubt..
and so far, god, via gut-filling, has helped me evade all the wrong people in my life
and avoid dates too :P
i am actually curious, not just for the possibility of this being something more (i wasn't looking for/awaiting it- that spot in my heart is woven with barbed wire), but because I have this detective spirit in myself (I once solved a case of a mystery tablet that was placed in our dorm-maybe i'll post about it).. i fear being unjust to him..

What could he possibly do to me in a cafe? (this is not rhetorical, you're welcome to open my mind to paranoia)
If things turn out weird, or still inexplicable, i could always say i didn't like him once i am back from the date right? (i don't have to say he is suspicious, he has other quirks that i can just over-exaggerate into a dealbreaker)

yes, i can play safe and just refuse to meet him and to get rid of him completely but that's what i have been doing my entire life.. maybe i should spice it a little (within reasonable limits)???

Now tell me....

If you were me, would you go on a date (in a totally public place, so safety is no concern), to check out if this dude is the real deal or not? 

And what's('re) the deal-breaker(s) for your?
