I am SO disappointed at our loss in the semi-finals match against India. Though, I feel so much love for my country at the same time too.
Moving on….. I want Sri Lanka to crush India

ell oh ell
Sometimes, I love initiating awkward situations/conversations. They make me feel humorous for some bizzare reason.

so the frustration starts
This wedding planning is getting hard and I’m starting to get annoyed with myself. I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m so tired of looking at dresses and things related to weddings because I’ve become so picky about everything. Nothing seems good enough.
It’s a shame because I was looking forward to getting married so I could be married. Now all I think about is the wedding and it’s set up. Other than a frustration, I’m really enjoying it too because it is fun to do things your way. I would love to organize a wedding because I think I’ve become very good at it. I can work within any budget and come up with a great wedding plan! I have things I want to do on the actual wedding day in my wedding hall before the wedding starts just so I have the satisfaction of things being done right. Basically everything I do has to be visually appealing to me.

Maybe I should become a wedding planning and just do this for the rest of my life. I know my husband would go insane.

mowmaynt
I have a health class this semester. I’m not one of those people who worries about her intake or physical activity but I love the idea of a healthy lifestyle. I almost made a resolution to become more healthier, and that went nowhere. I would love to eat right and have physical activity in my life, except it’s too busy. I don’t have time to go for a jog or walk for 30 minutes, or make myself something healthy to eat. I live off cafeteria food and run from one class to another. When I do have time, I want to reeeeeeeeeeeeeeelaxxxxx. Slouch my life away
It’s too bad that I have such unhealthy habits, but I try my best and I plan to change that eventually. In class we were discussing physical activity in children and there was some statistic that said that we may outlive our children because of how unhealthy the upcoming generation is. We talked about it and it was obvious why. Remember when we were kids, we played outside all day and our parents didn’t mind it. I know I spent my childhood playing in parks and riding my bike. Now we barely see that because children are indoors playing with their ipods and DC or watching television while eating chips. Other then that, parents have become overly protective. They feel the need to keep an eye on their children at all times because they’re scared of god-knows-what. If not that, lives have become busier for parents, so they don’t have time to take their children to play or allow them to go alone. Also, when we were kids, we knew our neighbors and people around the community and now we barely know the names of people who live next door (blaming the busy life style again). Other then physical activity, we barely have a healthy diet. We eat so much processed foods and buying meals is so much easier then cooking it. We eat more then we should, which leads our stomach to want more food, and that it what it gets. The size of cups for soda’s are so much larger then they used to be 10 years back and same goes for the servings served. The burgers are bigger, the pizza slices are huge and we’re very happy for this enhancement.
Point is, parents depend on school/teachers for their children to release energy and teachers aren’t aware of the importance of it. Children attending swimming classes or hockey once a week isn’t enough, they need to run around and play every day. It’s too bad that things are this way because these issues lead to bigger problems as we get older, especially as woman.

Tiffany & Co.
I’m going insane because of midterms, but here is something to smile for. What if I gave out Tiffany & Co. stuff as my party favors. People would faint and I'd be in debt.

3rd time is a charm.
I stress over this topic again and again. But here it is one more time.
Why do people change Islam according to their own needs? They twist and turn religion to fit their own personal views, because it’s easier that way. I completely understand people doing things that are not a part of Islam, like listening to music and that it between you and your Lord. The minute you start to say “listening to music isn’t wrong in Islam” that is when you’ve changed the religion to suit your life style, simply so you don’t have to feel guilty about it.
Same situations go by institutions, people have gatherings based on “Muslim” “Islam” and then it’s a non-segregated party, music, dancing and at the end of the day you’re making a statement about your religion to others who may not know what Islam is about.
Christianity or Jewish’s may have people who are homosexual, but anyone who is aware of their religion will let you know that it is against their religion.
People now argue that homosexuality, music is some how allowed in Islam. People constantly argue upon Nikab/Hijab, polygamy, the degree of segregation between gender only so their religion doesn’t look outdated to others. So they appear to have a modern life style.
I'm aware that there are a lot more issues in Islam that aren't clear cut and hence subject to interpretation. For those, there are knowledgeable scholars who have and continue to debate on those topics, but a lot of which people try to change is a clear-up ruling (5 times prayer, alcohol etc).
Today people say Nikab is not a part of islam.
5 years later – Nikkah is not necessary between a man and woman; it’s the intention that counts.
10 years later – Drugs are allowed, as long as you still pray 5 times.
I too am guilty of this.

It also goes the other way, people extreme the religion as they see it fit. You’ll hear people making statements like “make-up is haraam” “wear pants is haraam” “you have to eat with your hands”. There is a concept of Sunnah, Wajib and Fard. To turn everything into a fard and say that is it Islam is also ruining the name and reputation of Islam. People constantly lable things to be haraam, by linking it to other fatwa’s
