Dark as the Night

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...

Assalamu Alaikum...

This is the first entry for this month and year. It won't be the last one for either one either insha' Allah. On the 28th of December I was sick. I attended the Friday speech and prayer on that day. I thought up the article "Somaliland and Kurdistan" on that day. On the 29th of December 2012, Saturday I was sick.

On the 30th of December 2012, Sunday I took out the garbage. I had an outing for some shopping on that day. I had an outing to Mecca Mall to pay the land phone bill on that day. On the 31st of December 2012, Monday I changed the light bulb in the kitchen. I clipped my finger nails and some of my toe nails on that day.

I thought up the article "Mask of Lies or Face of Truth?" on that day. On the 1st of January 2013, Tuesday it was the start of the Year of Tamuya or 2013. My dad called through Prilular on that day. On the 2nd of January it was the fourth anniversary of al-Darb Diya. I decided to name February 2013 as "Advance February" on that day.

On the 3rd of January 2013, Thursday I took out the garbage. On the 4th of January I attended the Friday speech and prayer. My brother called through our mom's cellular on that day. On the 5th of January 2013, Saturday it rained. Yesterday was the 6th of January. It rained yesterday. Today is the 7th of January 2013, Monday.

It has been raining and some times hailing from time to time today. It might snow some time this week or next week. I'm somewhat looking forward to the snow also. I hope it would be good snow also. This post is somewhat short, but I don't mind that. No photo for this post obviously. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

First Rain of 2012

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...

Assalamu Alaikum...

On the 30th of December 2011, Friday I finished uploading photos onto Tales of Ammaar ibn Walid. I've uploaded all the photos I've wanted to upload onto that site. At the moment I don't have any more photos I would want to upload onto that site.

On the 31st of December 2011, Saturday I had an outing for some shopping. On the 2nd of January 2012 it was the third anniversary of Al-Darb Diya. It rained on that day. That was the first rain of this month and year.

The title of this post was inspired from that rain in a way. I took out the garbage on that day. I thought up names names for different nations on that day. Of course they are names I would only use. I won't be getting into that though.

On the 3rd of January 2012, Tuesday I had an outing for some shopping. On the 4th of January Ron Paul came in third in the Iowa Republican Primary. I failed to retrieve money from the bank on that day. I had an outing for some Shawarma sandwiches on that day.

On the 5th of January 2012, Thursday I changed the light bulb in the kitchen. I took out the garbage again on that day. I retrieved money from the bank on that day. I had an outing for a new prayer calendar on that day.

The photo on the beginning of this post is a photo of the new prayer calendar I got for this year. Of course the date on the calendar is different because that was when I took the photo of the prayer calendar. Yesterday was the 6th of January.

It rained yesterday. Yesterday was the first Friday of this month and year. I didn't attend the Friday speech or prayer yesterday. Today is the 7th of January 2012, Saturday. I turned on the Yahoo! Alerts for amarito.ddma today.

They've been off for more than a year, since the 30th of October 2010. I had an outing for some Shawarma sandwiches today. This is the first post on Jaacto Post for this month and year. Insha' Allah it won't be the last post this month either.

Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Second Anniversary of Al-Darb Diya

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...

Assalamu Alaikum...

This is obviously going to be the first post for Jaacto Times during this year, which is what I dubbed as the Year of Breeze. I think the title suits the first post for this blog and this year good.

On the 31st of December 2010, Friday it rained. I changed the gas canister for the gas heater on that day. I also took a shampoo on that day. I clipped my finger nails and some of my toe nails on that day.

That day was the last day of the Year of the Owl or 2010. Onward into the Year of Breeze! On the 2nd of January I exchanged three empty gas canisters with three full ones. I had an outing for a 2011 calendar on that day.

I bought a nice winter cap for myself on that day. That day marked the second anniversary for Al-Darb Diya. Two years have passed since I first started Al-Darb Diya. On the 3rd of January 2011, Sunday the Asia 1 Convoy arrived in Gaza.

On that day I had an outing for an adapter for the vacuum cleaner. I had an outing to help tutor a friend of mine in English on that day. On the 4th of January I took out the garbage and I had an outing with my mom.

On the 5th of January 2011, Wednesday I retrieved money from the bank. Yesterday was the 6th of January. I had an outing for some shopping yesterday. As for today, the Asia Cup 2011 starts in Qatar today.

That's it for the first post for the Year of Breeze. More posts would come during this year insha' Allah. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

January 2010 Departure

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...

Assalamu Alaikum...

On the 1st of January 2010, Friday there was an electricity outage. I cleaned one side of the oven partially on that day, and I changed the gas canister for the gas heater on that day. I took a shower and shampoo on the 2nd of January.

I shaved some for the first time with a shaving device on that day. That day was the first anniversary for Al-Darb Diya. There was an electricity outage on the 3rd of January 2010, Sunday. I bought a new calendar for 2010 on that day.

I visited a friend of mine on that day. That day there was a family outing to Mecca Mall with me, my brother and my mom going there. It was the first time had been in Mecca Mall ever.

I prayed Qiyam Lail during the early morning for the first time in 2010 before the dawn prayer, on the 4th of January 2010. Two friends visited the home on that day. I got a new green blanket for my bed on that day.

My father called my brother on that day, because my father tried calling me but my cellular was in my bedroom and I was here in the living room, so I didn't hear it. On the 5th of January 2010, Tuesday I took out the garbage.

The garbage included an old blanket of mine. Since I had a new blanket, there was no need for the old one. I retrieved money from the bank on that day, and I took a shower and shampoo on that day. We had a family visit to some relatives on that day.

I clipped my finger nails and some of my toe nails on the 6th of January. The 7th of January 2010, Thursday was a long day for me, my brother and my mom. The three of us went on a family outing to my mom's dental appointment.

A new appointment was made for her and myself on that day. I dealt with getting a new Jordanian passport to a large degree on the 7th of January. Getting a new one isn't over yet. My brother and a friend helped me reach to the process I'm at now.

I visited a few friends of mine on that day, and I cleared up some books in the guest room. I observed some workers dealing with putting down a new carpet in the hallway on that day. I put up the new clotheslines and dealt with it on that day.

My mom changed the location of the land phone on that day. I took a shower and took out the garbage on the 8th of January. As for yesterday, which was the 9th of January 2010, Saturday, it was a long day.

I stayed awake throughout the night because it was early that morning my brother would be leaving Jordan back to the U.S. I played with my brother on the Playstation during the early morning before the dawn prayer yesterday.

My brother departed Jordan during the early morning of that day. I went with some friends who took him to the airport to see him off. Once we saw my brother off, my friends and I went back to my friends' family car.

The car key was inside, and we were locked outside the car. It took some effort but with help from some others we were able to eventually get into the car and leave the airport. As for today, the 10th of January 2010, Sunday, I took out the garbage.

I exchanged two empty gas canister with two full ones this morning. I had an outing to pay the telephone bill and later on afterward I retrieved some clothes for my mom from a tailor's shop.

This post is titled what it is because my brother went back to the U.S. during this month. As soon as I came back home yesterday from seeing my brother off in the airport, I slept for some time, and I eventually woke up close to the noon prayer.

It wasn't a comfortable sleep, but that was dealt with when I slept last night. I slept like a baby alhamdullah, getting the sleep I need during the right time. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

The First Ten Days of Dhulhijja

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful...

Assalamu Alaikum...

I clipped my finger nails on the 11th of November 2009, Wednesday. I had an outing for bread on that day. I retrieved money from an exchange place on the 12th of November after I failed to retrieve it from a bank.

I changed the light in the guest room on the 13th of November. It rained on that day. I made an account of mine on Wordpress on the 14th of November. I added five widgets onto Al-Darb Diya on that day.

I took out the garbage on the 15th of November 2009, Sunday. My mom shared some information with me that she found out about on that day. The information was that all vaccines have a small amount of mercury in them.

Mercury is poison for the body, and even though it's in a small amount there mercury in my body now. From that I had decided not to vaccinate any of kids at all in the future. I had an outing with my mom for shopping on that day.

My mom had an embarrassing moment while we were shopping but I won't get into details. I had an outing for groceries on the 16th of November, and my sunglasses broke on that day. My sunglasses are clip on sunglasses that are "hooked" to my eyeglasses.

It rained on the 17th of November 2009, Tuesday. I clipped my toe nails and I took a shampoo on that day. I registered onto orkut on the 18th of November. Orkut is like Google's social network. The Algerian soccer team qualified to the World Cup on that day.

They qualified after defeating Egypt in the Sudanese capital. The mainstream media helped out in some ways to the unrest that happened in Egypt, Algeria and Sudan during, before and after the playoff match.

It's really silly how many Egyptians got upset about it. I paid for the telephone bill on the 19th of November 2009, Thursday. I got some vitamin stuff from a pharmacy on that day.

The beginning of Dhulhijja begun on the 18th of November, but I didn't fast on that day. I started fasting the first ten days of Dhulhijja on the 19th of November, which was the second day. There were electricity outages twice on that day.

The first time was soon after the dusk prayer when my mom and I were breaking our fasts. The second time was some time later during the night, but it lasted less than the first one.

It was my dad's birthday on the 20th of November. I created the blog "Land of the Arab Revival" on that day. I fasted the third day of Dhulhijja on that day. I had an outing with my mom for supplies on the 21st of November 2009, Saturday.

I fasted the fourth day of Dhulhijja on that day. As for yesterday I took out the garbage. I fasted the fifth day of Dhulhijja yesterday. It was yesterday that I officially thought up the Al-Darb Media Codenames or DMC.

Jordan qualified for the Asian Cup by defeating Iran 1:0 here in Jordan yesterday. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Busy Day

Assalamu Alaikum...

I have much to say in this entry, but there are some stuff that happened that I won't mention on this blog. On the 8th of October 2009, Thursday I took out the garbage and I had an outing for groceries.

It was the 100th birthday of Amman on the 9th of October 2009, and because of that anniversary there was a centennial parade here in Amman to celebrate the occasion. I had an outing with my mom for some shopping on the 10th of October.

I clipped my finger nails on the 11th of October. I visited some of my friends on that day. It was on that day that I started helping one of my friends with one of his university projects. The university project isn't finished yet though.

I don't want to get into details about it. My mom talked with my brother through the land phone on the 12th of October. We started having no water during the night of the 12th of October.

There was no water at all from the sinks during the morning of the 13th of October 2009, Tuesday. It was on the 11th of October when I helped one of my friends out with his university project that I realized something.

I realized that the quiet time in my life is now over. That means stuff is going to be busy and active in my life for some time now, and probably I won't have such a long quiet time as I had before. I took out the garbage on the 14th of October.

The water shortage was over on that day. I don't want to get into how my mom and I adapted without water. I took a shampoo on the 16th of October. I visited my friends on that day. I had an outing for some groceries and I clipped my finger nails and toe nails on the 17th of October 2009, Saturday.

I visited a friend of mine on the 19th of October 2009, Monday. I had an outing to my favorite location on the 20th October 2009, Tuesday. It was that time that I spent the longest in my favorite location for the first time ever.

It was quiet nice actually. I visited a friend of mine on that day. I had an outing to the pharmacy and to my favorite location on the 21st of October. I started to organize my Al-Darb Diya articles on both feranin e-mail and news blog on the 22nd of October.

As for yesterday I had an outing with my mom for my mom to see the doctor. Afterward my mom and I did some shopping before coming home. Yesterday was the 24th of October. As for today much happened, and I'm thankful to Allah that I did everything I planned and wanted to do today.

I took a shampoo for starters to start my busy day out today. After I took out the garbage. Later on I had an outing for bread, and on my way back I stopped by the pharmacy to get some prescribed antibiotics for my mom.

Later on during the day I had an outing for a haircut. There were other customers before me so I had to wait. I didn't realize it then but I paid for the haircut near the start of actually taking the haircut, and not before I leave as I usually do.

Soon after I returned from the barber shop I took a shower and shampoo. My outings and activities are over for today, but they aren't over for this week. They won't be over until this coming Tuesday.

I forgot to mention that I didn't get on Facebook yesterday. The time would change back to winter time this coming Friday for Jordan. The time would go back an hour. I learned some possible interesting information about the Taliban today.

I won't get into that though. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Al-Darb Diya Surprises...

Assalamu Alaikum...

It was Quds Day on the 18th of September 2009, Friday. That day was the last Friday of Ramadan 1430. On that same day I wrote -and published- my first news article ever on Al-Darb Diya first. I posted it onto my Newsvine profile soon after it was posted on Al-Darb Diya.

I submitted it to Op Ed News, and after several days, I was notified that it was accepted as a diary entry. The link to it is:

http://al-darb.blogspot.com/2009/09/zionists-pressure-youtube-over-removal.html.

I have some new thoughts for some other articles for me to write and publish insha' Allah. On the 19th of September, the computer crashed on me twice. I formatted C: and installed the necessary software the first time.

The second time I was able to avoid doing that. Both crashes happened during the morning, so there was plenty of time to deal with it. For the first ever in my life, I finished reciting the Qur'an all together on the 19th of September.

That was the last day of Ramadan. I washed some dishes in the kitchen sink and I took a shampoo on that day. It was also on that day that I found some interesting stuff. I did a Google search for Al-Darb Diya, and some of the results were interesting to me.

Apparently there were other websites that took part of the relevant selected article I copied and put it on their site. They linked their source back to me. I need to make a list of the websites that did this. That was a surprise for me.

A few days later I did a Yahoo! search, and it was Google search that came up with more results as I found out. It was the first day of Eid al-Fitr on the 20th of September. There were slight rain showers during the morning of that day.

I talked with my dad that day through my cellular. I started fasting the six days of Shawaal on the 21st of September. Today is the third day now. As for yesterday I took out the garbage and washed some dishes in the kitchen sink.

I was able to add a new gadget to Al-Darb Diya yesterday, with people now being able to subscribe to Al-Darb Diya via e-mail. As for today, I had an outing with my mom to a local grocery store. I was successful in uploading a video onto Shehab Annoor as well.

Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Al-Darb Diya Locked?

Assalamu Alaikum...

On the 13th of August 2009, Thursday I took a shampoo. I changed the gas canister for the stove in the kitchen; clipped my finger nails and some of my toe nails, and started to rearrange Al-Darb Diya with new labels on the 14th of August.

I talked with my dad through my cellular on the 15th of August 2009, Saturday. I took out the garbage on the 16th of August. I failed to retrieve the money my dad sent me on that day, because the hardware wasn't working.

I had an outing for groceries on the 17th of August 2009, Monday. I found out about an interesting personal e-mail for green_religion concerning some posts on one of my blogs on that day, which was probably on Al-Darb Diya.

It was a Muslim apparently, and he or she was somewhat criticizing me negatively. I had replied back to it. I haven't received a response back about it yet. That was the first time I got such an e-mail concerning my blogs here on blogspot.

It was my first experience about getting bad reviews for Al-Darb Diya perhaps, but I can't be sure. I was able to retrieve the money from the bank on the 18th of August. There was a temporary lock up for Al-Darb Diya for the first time yesterday.

It was an automated lock up, and if I hadn't requested for an unlock, Al-Darb Diya would've been deleted within 20 days. I did request for an unlock, and alhamdullah, in a few hours it was unlocked.

I was still able to post posts on Al-Darb Diya while it was locked. The only difference was that I needed to copy some letter to publish any post onto Al-Darb Diya. Everything is normal now with Al-Darb Diya. That was yesterday.

I had an outing with my mom yesterday, and I also took a shampoo yesterday. For the last few days it has been warm here in Amman. I've basically been staying indoors. I had an outing with my mom to a local grocery store this morning.

Ramadan would enter in a few days, and insha' Allah I intend to spend much less time on the computer for other stuff like worship. There are elections today in Afghanistan. Facebook has been going on and off on me yesterday and today.

When I'm able to sign in eventually, and then I can't get on Facebook, I would still be able to get on applications on Facebook, which weren't made by Facebook. For now, I can't get on Facebook, but I've been able to sign in today, so I can use most applications of mine.

Take care, and assalamu alaikum...
