Ramadan 2010

Dear readers – Dear Me,



(Pic by Design-Q8)

It's freaky how almost 12 months passed in the blink on an eye! Thursday, the 12th of Aug 2010 is going to be the first Day of Ramadan Insha'Allah in Oman. So Ramadan Mubarak ya’all and may Allah shower us all with his finest blessings, peace, forgiveness and mercy during this holy month.

-------------------------------------------------------


After the ultimate success of fellow blogger : Bride from “Wanna be a bride” or “3ayza atgawiz” in publishing a book based on her blog, her story has recently been turned into a TV show that’s going to be aired during the days of Ramadan. I mean how cool is that! :D (That doesn’t mean that I’m going to watch it btw :p).

Anyhow, I can honestly say that it was really fun reading her book & her blog, so let’s see if the show is going to be as fun!

That's how Bride described herself in her blog:

أمثل 15 مليون بنت من سن 25 إلى سن 35 و اللي بيضغط عليهم المجتمع كل يوم عشان يتجوزوا..مع إنه مش بإيديهم إنهم لسه قاعدين




-----------------------------------------------------------

I’ve been receiving many emails about people making resolutions for Ramadan and some suggesting some schedules to be followed and what not… I think setting goals for what you want to achieve during Ramadan helps, even if it’s just the mere fact that one reflects on the month to come and recognizes that at least some changes should be made.
One recurring resolution I always make is to try and cut away from the ‘noise’ of the world in an attempt to really ‘hear’. And oh, I’m planning to eat healthier food & lay off the grease and desserts I constantly have specially during family gatherings :p


Till next time
وكل رمضان وانتوا بخير والله يبلغنا جميعا صوم رمضان وقيامه ومن بعده العيد

I believe those "resolutions" should be made anytime and anywhere. It is not for a certain time.

Mubarak 3aleech el shahr Faith <3

I never make resolutons, something about them puts me down but hope your goals work out perfectly fine ;)

I made goals/resolutions and I'm going to do my best to stick to them and achieve them all! A blessed Ramadan on you and your family dear faith!

And yes! One needs to be careful with what they eat during Ramdan...but that doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy yourself neither.

I wish that book was in English!
