December Arrival

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

Assalamu Alaikum...

Much has happened since my previous post and so I have much to say. The post would eventually explain its title. I retrieved money from the bank on the 2nd of December 2009, Wednesday.

I had an outing to the pharmacy and for some supplies on that day. I finished dealing with all the e-mails that were piled up on my feranin e-mail on that day. I changed the gas canister for the gas heater in the living room on that day.

The eldest son of the landlady had a wedding party on that day. I changed my name on Facebook on that day to "Ammaar 'Amarito' Al-Jallad". I changed my school's name in School Vandals from Greenglade Academy to Comets of Light.

I changed my city's name in Metropolis from Andalus to Shining Path. On the 3rd of December 2009, Thursday I took out the garbage and I had an outing with my mom. The chargers for my cellular broke on the 4th of December.

It was the next day, on the 5th of December 2009, Saturday that I got a new charger. I wasn't able to charge my cellular's battery for a night. I had an outing for some earphone and some empty DVDs, which I got some time before getting the charger.

On the 6th of December I prepared my bedroom for my brother's visit. I started burning my drive onto the empty DVDs I got a day earlier on that day. I signed up for Artician Creative Network on the 7th of December 2009, Monday.

I finished dealing with all the e-mails that were piled up on my green_religion e-mails on that day. It rained on that day. I took out the garbage on the 9th of December 2009, Wednesday. It rained on that day.

I clipped my finger nails and took a shampoo on that day. On the 10th of December 2009, I had an outing for some sandwiches. It was some time before midnight that day when my brother finally arrived home from the airport.

That day was a long day and it deserves to have a record of its own. I don't know if I'm going to write such a record or not. December Arrival is based on my brother arriving on that day. That's why I chose the title for this post.

On the 11th of December, I had an outing with my brother and my mom to Yasser Mall. That was the first time I was ever on the second floor in Yasser Mall. Some time after we came back my brother and I went to visit some friends nearby.

When we came back from that visit, I changed the gas canister for the stove in the kitchen. I took out the garbage on the 13th of December 2009, Sunday. I had an outing for some bread on that day. I installed and was able to use Yahoo! Messenger 9 for the first time on the computer here in the home on that day.

With encouragement from my brother I exchanged two gas canisters on the 14th of December. I talked with my dad through my cellular on that day. I started cleaning the refrigerator on the 17th of December 2009, Thursday.

I didn't finish the job, and I didn't do my best in it either. I had an outing with my brother and my mom for some stuff for my mom on that day. It rained during the night of that day. It rained on the 18th of December. There were three electricity outages on that day.

It was the first time my brother experienced the electric outages we have from time to time. The first outage was the longest while the remaining two were short. As for yesterday, I had an outing with my mom and my brother for some clothes for my mom.

Yesterday was the 19th of December 2009, Saturday. I let a younger brother of a friend of mine borrow my old digital camera later on yesterday. I changed the gas canister for the gas heater in the living room yesterday.

Today I took out the garbage. My brother and my dad got me some gifts through my brother, but I don't want to get into details about those here. Three days ago was the beginning of a new hijri year, with it being 1431 H now.

Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Passing of Eid al-Adha 1430 H

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

Assalamu Alaikum...

I fasted on the 9th of Dhulhijja. It was the first day of Eid al-Adha 1430 H on the 27th of November 2009, Friday. I formatted C: and installed the required software because the computer crashed on that day. There was an electricity outage on that day.

On the 28th of November I took out the shampoo and I clipped my finger nails. I had an outing with my mom for some supplies on that day. My mom talked with my brother through the land phone on that day. It was on that day when we learned when my brother would come to Jordan.

It would be on the 10th of December and he already has a ticket for it. The 28th of November was the second day of Eid al-Adha. It was the third day of Eid al-Adha on the 29th of November 2009, Sunday. I took out the garbage on that day.

I also had an Eid visit with my aunt on that day. As for yesterday I had an outing for bread. Yesterday was the last day of November and the last day of Eid al-Adha. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Day of Arafa 1430 H

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

Assalamu Alaikum...

Not much time has passed since my last post, but I have some stuff to report even thought this might be a short post. On the 23rd of November 2009, Monday I had some interesting new experience with the computer.

In the morning the computer got stuck on me and showed a blue screen. The blue screen meant that the computer was going to crash eventually. I got the blue screen more than once. I did something with the computer's main basic setup.

It was the setup for the computer where it would deal with setting up the hardware of the computer. I messed around with it for awhile. Messing around with it led me to even more trouble with the computer.

I found out -with trying to install Windows XP again- that the computer didn't "sense" any hard drive in the computer. After learning about that, I changed the setup back to the way it was, and the computer was back to normal.

It seems by messing around with the setup helped avert the computer from crashing, at least for awhile. It seems the computer needs to "sense" the hard drive for it to crash, and since I had the computer not sense the hard drive for awhile, the computer crashing was averted that time apparently.

I fasted the sixth day of Dhulhijja on that day. My mom talked with my brother during that day's night, and I was in my bedroom lying down trying to go to sleep. I heard what my mom was saying to my brother.

I learned that my brother would be coming to Jordan on the 10th of December. He would be staying for four weeks. I found out that he already had a ticket for that day. I talked with my dad for awhile while my mom was talking to my brother.

It was a quick chat through my cellular. After the two talks it was harder for me to go to sleep so I just stayed awake for a few more hours before going to bed. After failing from retrieving moneygram my dad transferred to me from a bank, I was able to retrieve it from an exchange place.

I failed to retrieve it the first time from the bank because the software for moneygram was offline. On my way back I got some groceries. I fasted on the seventh day of Dhulhijja on that day. I don't want anything from the U.S. for now.

As for yesterday, which was the 25th of November 2009, Wednesday, I created a new e-mail of mine named amarito.ddma. I shifted my blogspot account e-mail from green_religion to amarito.ddma. I was busy with preparing that e-mail yesterday.

I somewhat enjoyed preparing it. I fasted the eighth day of Dhulhijja yesterday. As for today, it's the Day of Arafa for the year 1430 H. As for the year 2009, it's the second time the Day of Arafa arrives, just as it's the second time of Hajj this year.

I put in a gas canister into the gas heater here in the living room today. Tomorrow is Eid al-Adha. It would be the second Eid al-Adha this year. All together 2009 has had three Eids. 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...

Off the Floor

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

Assalamu Alaikum...

I retrieved money from my dad from the bank on the 4th of November. Afterward I went and visited my aunt for awhile. That was the first time I had visited her in awhile. I helped her out in the store.

I helped with dealing with supplies she received on that day. I also helped a customer recharge his cellular credit with a card. It was on that day that my aunt gave me some new pairs of socks.

With help from my mom, the two of us made a bed frame off the floor in my bedroom on the 5th of November 2009, Thursday. I talked with one of my friends on that day. That night was the first night in awhile here in this home I slept on a bed off the floor.

I changed the gas canister for the stove on the 6th of November. I had an outing for groceries and I changed the light bulb in the kitchen on that day. The electricity went out around three time on the 7th of November at different times.

It was on that day that I did some research on Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kashmir on the internet. I took out the garbage and I failed to retrieve money from the bank on the 8th of November. I had an outing with my mom on the 9th of November.

That day was the fourth anniversary of the Amman Bombings. There was no internet on the 10th of November 2009, Tuesday. There was no internet because our neighbor needed to pay for the internet once more from their side.

It was on that day that I had an outing to the internet café. Afterward I went and got a card to recharge the credit in my cellular. I clipped my finger nails on the 11th of November. I had an outing for some bread on that day.

As for yesterday, which was the 12th of November, I did a survey of a certain area to see how many places I could retrieve moneygram from. I only found three, including the bank I usually retrieve transfers from. I won't get into detail about that.

I retrieved the money I failed to retrieve before from an exchange place on that day. As for this morning, I changed the light in the guest room. It also rained a little today. Dhul' Hijja is closing in and I intend to fast the nine or ten first day insha' Allah.

Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Winter Closing In...

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

Assalamu Alaikum...

On the 26th of October 2009, Monday I approved the third member onto Shehab Annoor. The third member was a Muslim brother from Indonesia. He's the first I approve onto Shehab Annoor.

I guess I have to trust Allah and Allah would lead who He likes to Shehab Annoor. It rained during the early morning of the 27th of October 2009, Tuesday. I clipped my finger nails on that day.

I finished Power Rangers Jungle Fury on the 28th of October. I had an outing with my mom on that day. I started watching Power Rangers R.P.M. on the 29th of October 2009, Thursday. Jordan Rally begun on that day for the Middle East Rally.

Time changed back an hour to winter time on the 30th of October 2009, Friday. That Friday was the last Friday of October and every last Friday of October time changes to winter time. Times changes to summer time every last Thursday on April.

I changed the clocks in the home back to winter time on that day. It rained on that day. I damaged a kitchen utensil on that day and I was ashamed and upset with myself for some time because of that. I don't want to get into details about that.

I cleaned the stove the best I could on the 1st of November 2009, Sunday. I took the garbage out, took a shampoo and I talked with my dad through my cellular on that day. I created the blog "Supporter of the Taliban" on that day.

My dad hadn't contacted me for so long until that day because he was moving, and so now he's living in a new home in the U.S. There a cold front I think hitting Jordan now and its around 13 degrees today. The cold front came yesterday I think.

It rained later on during the day yesterday and it rained some today. It's going to most likely rain some more later on today. With this cold front, winter is closing in more and more. A few days ago I learned some stuff about the Swine Flu Vaccine.

None of it was good. What I learned is that the Swine Flu Vaccine is not made to cure Swine Flu, and it is deadlier than Swine Flu. Amongst other stuff, it causes brain tumors, sterility and blood cancer.

After finding out about those stuff I went and warned some websites about it. I spread the information more around the internet about it. My mom even suggested I write a news article about it.

I learned that the Czech Republic did some experiments on the Swine Flu Vaccine doses it got on rats, and all the rats died. It was the Czech Republic that warned the world about it. It seems that most of the world was deaf to it though.

I won't go into details why such a deadly "vaccine" is being spread around to world to help "contain" Swine Flu. 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...

Blessing from Allah...

Assalamu Alaikum...

It was later on the 27th of September when I changed the gas canister for the stove in the kitchen. I made and posted the first post for "The Star Trail Lines" on the 28th of September.

The Star Trail Lines is going to be a news blog where I'd publish news articles I write myself. The first news article I wrote about the Zionists is already on it. I started watching Power Rangers Jungle Fury on the 29th of September from YouTube.

I would download a video of part of an episode, and then I would convert it. After I convert it I would watch it. I took out the garbage, washed some dishes in the kitchen sink, and had an outing with my mom on the 30th of September.

On the 1st of October 2009, Thursday I made my first social network "Shehab Annoor" public. I returned to Facebook on that day. I also took a shampoo on that day. I clipped my finger nails on the 2nd of October, and it was on that day that it was announced that Brazil would host the 2016 Olympics for the first time in South America.

Chicago, Tokyo and Madrid were all taken out, with Madrid being the last one taken out and Chicago being the first taken out. On the 4th of October I took out the garbage and I had an outing for some bread. Nothing much happened on the 5th.

It was on that day that I wanted to write this entry. As for yesterday, which was the 6th of October, I went out and retrieved money from the bank. On my way back I bought myself some underwear and some socks on my own for the first time ever.

Later on during the day it rained like twice. I had an outing with my mom for shopping on that day. As for today I took a shampoo and cleaned one of my underwear. I had brought three underwear for myself.

Two are green while the third is blue. I'm wearing the blue one now. I've been wearing it since yesterday. It's the first time in quite some time since I've prayed in a clean underwear and I feel comfortable with that thought.

The blessing from Allah was the good rain yesterday. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Shehab Annoor Network Community

Assalamu Alaikum...

On the 3rd of September I clipped my finger nails. I washed some dishes in the kitchen sink and my brother called during the night of the 5th of September. I took out the garbage on the 6th of September.

I retrieved money from the bank on the 7th of September, and I also took a shampoo on that day. I had an outing with my mom to a local neighborhood store on the 8th of September. I had an outing to the internet café on the 9th of September.

I had an outing for groceries on the 10th of September. It was the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the 11th of September. It's somewhat unbelievable that there are Americans that still think it was a "terrorist" act.

I clipped my finger nails on the 12th of September. I took out the garbage and took a shampoo on the 13th of September 2009, Sunday. A friend of mine called me through my cellular and he told me a dream he had concerning me on the 14th of September.

It was basically about me attending the dawn prayer at the same Masjid my friend attends, and I was looking nice in the dream, from what my friend has told me. I talked with another friend of mine through my cellular on that same day.

I made my first social network community on Ning for the first time, and I named it "Shehab Annoor". It's currently private, but I'm going to make it public after I fast the six days of Shawaal insha' Allah.

I would have to approve any memberships to it. The direct link to it is:
http://shehabannoor.ning.com.

I trimmed my mustache on the 15th of September. I talked with my dad through my cellular on the 16th of September, which was yesterday. I also had an outing to the pharmacy on that day.

As for today, there was an electricity outage during the morning. I had an outing to the bank, and on my way back I got some groceries. I added a headline animator gadget for Al-Darb Diya. My inner child likes my News blog even better now.

The direct link to it is:
http://al-darb.blogspot.com.

It's still Ramadan, and we're in the last times days. Tonight would be an odd night. I'll try to stay up, but only Allah knows if I would or not. I was able to pray a set of Qiyam Lail on an odd night some time before the dawn prayer, during these last ten days of Ramadan.

I'm been reciting Qur'an everyday alhamdullah, and so I've been keeping up with Ramadan in reciting Qur'an. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Ramadan 2009

Assalamu Alaikum...

On the 20th of August 2009, Thursday my mom and I got news about the son of a neighbor dying several days before. I leveled up Greenglade Academy to Junior High mostly on my own on the 21st of August. The 22nd of August 2009, Saturday saw the beginning of Ramadan 2009 for most of the Muslims around the world.

I started writing Ramadan Tales 2 on that day. I clipped my fingers; took a shampoo, and trimmed my mustache on that day. I took out the garbage on the 23rd of August. On the 24th of August I talked first with my father, and then later on during the day, with my brother, and both through my cellular.

The two called me to tell me Ramadan Mubarak basically. On the 25th of August 2009, Tuesday I had an outing to Rastin. On my way back I bought myself a new pair of shoes for the first time. It was the first time I had done such a thing on my own, as it was a new experience for me. It cost me 14 JDs.

I didn't get onto the computer on that day until some time during the during the dusk prayer. That was one of the reasons why I had an outing to Rastin and had got myself a new pair of shoes. On the 26th of August I took a shampoo and there was an electricity outage. It was from around 5:30 pm to around 6:50 pm.

I prayed a set of Qiyam Lail during the early morning of the 27th of August. I clipped my finger nails on the 28th of August. I washed some dishes in the kitchen sink on the 29th of August. A friend of mine called me on that day. I took out the garbage on the 30th of August.

I transferred some credit from my number to my friend's number on that day, and it was a little more than he had asked for. An old friend of the family's from the U.S. invited my mom and I for Iftar on that night, but I had refused. I paid for the telephone bill on the 31st of August. On my way back, I got some bread.

I clipped some of my toe nails; took a shampoo; had an outing with my mom for groceries, and changed the light bulb for the kitchen on that day. On the 1st of September 2009, Tuesday I washed some dishes in the kitchen sink and I cleaned the stove to some degree. As for today, I took a shampoo.

I had been reciting Qur'an daily so far alhamdullah, and insha' Allah I'll continue on. I have motivation to recite it throughout this Ramadan, which was something I didn't have the previous Ramadan. Today what I had recited from the Qur'an was the first time I had ever recited it.

At one point while I was reciting Qur'an, a rooster crowed several times. During this Ramadan I'm finding out more positive things about the Taliban alhamdullah. I had vowed not to use Facebook through Ramadan, and after the first few days of Ramadan, I had stopped using Facebook for awhile.

I might return to Facebook some time after I fast the six days of Shawaal. Only Allah knows. I won't be forgetting my brethren in Palestine, especially in Gaza; my sisters in Tunisia; my brethren in Somalia; my Rohingya brethren; my Uighur brethren; my brethren in Afghanistan, and my brethren in the Caucasus this Ramadan.

May Allah help them through this Ramadan. Insha' Allah I'll start to take advantage of this month to strengthen my faith. This is the first Ramadan since I had learned of something positive. This year is definitely turning out to be "The Year of Mystics". Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Trail Rest 1

Assalamu Alaikum...

I'm writing this from the internet cafe. It's going to be short. The internet back home has been offline for a little over two months, and I'm trying to get it back. On the 13th of May, which was last Wednesday, I turned 22.

I had made some plans for that day, including writing an entry here, but that didn't happen. More happened that I didn't expect, and so I've named my 22nd birthday, "The Mystic Birthday". I've started working with my aunt at the store.

But it's not regular business with salary. Today I went and paid for the land phone bill for the first time in my whole life! Take care, and assalamu alaikum...

Over with Crescent

Assalamu Alaikum...

On the 5th of January 2009, Monday I took a shampoo; trimmed my mustache, and clipped my nails. There was also a short electricity outage on that day. On the 6th of January I had an outing to exchange $100, and when I returned the electricity was out.

It only returned around 5:24 pm on that same day. While the electricity was out I had another outing on that day for groceries, and it was for the first time since the Zionist aggression, and for the first time in 2009.

That marked that first time I had an outing while I took my MP3 player with me. I also used the MP3 player radio for the first time after I returned and still with the electricity out.

We had started to use the gas heater and putting it in the family room from my bedroom on that day. I fasted on the 7th of January 2009, since it was the 10th of Muharram 1430 H.

I prepared some food for Crescent and carried him away from the building with food on the 8th of January 2009, Thursday. I had left him still in the neighborhood, but later on during that night he was able to find his way back.

I carried Crescent away from the building for the second time on the 9th of January. I was planning to carry him further, but he injured me and drew blood from me, so I dropped him near the same place where I left him the previous day.

I didn't return straight home as he might have used his scent of smell to locate my smell and smell his way back home through my smell. I went and got myself a cellular credit card and bread, taking a detour back home on that day.

However again during the night Crescent was able to find his way back to the building. It wasn't a good time for Crescent to get to know the neighborhood, as that was exactly what was happening.

I had an outing out for visiting my friends for the first time this year on the 10th of January 2009, Saturday. We talked and made some arrangements, and I found out some information.

I watched all Power Rangers S.P.D. in English on YouTube, and changing to RuTube for the remaining episodes on that day. RuTube is in Russian, but I'm able to navigate around in it.

Where I was downloading a few parts of a whole episode on YouTube, I've been downloading complete whole episodes in one clip on RuTube. On the 11th of January 2009, Sunday, with food and leather gloves I went to my favorite location with Crescent.

I had brought my digital camera with me, and we left early in the morning. Crescent struggled and meowed more than once on our way there, but I kept a firm hold on him. It was an interesting life experience that I would never forget.

We eventually got to where I was taking us. I gave Crescent the food and he ate it quickly. I took some photos and some clips, and then I left. So far that was the last time I saw Crescent. When I came back, I took out the garbage.

My mom talked with my brother during that night. The internet wasn't working from the night of the 12th of January 2009, Monday. I accidentally broke the handle that turned on the water on the small head shower on the 13th of January 2009, Tuesday.

There was no internet on the 13th and 14th of January 2009. I had an outing to the internet cafe late during the day on the 14th of January, and after staying there for a few hours, I returned him in the dark, since it was nighttime.

The internet came back on late that night, and I took a shampoo on the 15th of January 2009, Thursday. I also fasted on that day. I went to Friday prayer yesterday as I hadn't gone to the prayer for a few months.

It was nice, being out in the cold. I shared my red prayer rug with two other brothers. I had started downloading some software required for Magic Jack yesterday, and finished downloading it today. However it still didn't work.

I need to download Service Pack 1 I think in order for it to work. But I've decided to forget it and not keep on trying with it anymore. The Zionist aggression in Gaza has entered its 22nd day today and 1199 are martyred in Gaza.

368 of them are children, and 105 of them are women. 5300 are injured, and the Arabs are still "talking" about it. With all the martyrs one would think that ALL the Arabs would take a strong and hard stance against the Zionists, but noooo!

It's a disgrace for the Arab leaders for them not acting by now. It's great though that Venezuela expelled the Zionist ambassador out of its country, and Venezuela is not an Arab or Muslim country, and it's in South America.

On Facebook, I've donated my status to how many Palestinians in Gaza are martyred and injured, and that's how I know the figures. Allah is preparing the Muslim Umma for Jihad, and the world would witness something it hasn't seen since the Khalifa.

Or even since the period of the openings. At least I hope so insha' Allah. I wish I could help in some way, but I can't in any way. The only way I could help is through prayer. I know a few names of a few martyrs though. Take care, and assalamu alaikum...
