flower power

today has been a great day alhumdulillah.i got some really positive news,Maame called me and informed me that i'm not on the blacklist which is so fantastic.that means that i can go back and work because i miss working,and i can pay off my debts,but most of all i can see my Maame once again.

but all of that great news just happened at around 4pm,from teez as subu7 i was awake reading the summarized version of  "I7ya uloomal-deen".then at around 11 michael and i went to get his blood test done at this govt facility so that he could get his work permit,alhumdulillah,all legit here in Jordan.whilst we there waiting for mike to get his blood test done,we saw the nurse give a phillipino passport to a russian woman and do the russian woman's blood test on the phillipino woman's passport,i mean i'm sure these things happen all the time but i just couldn't stop laughing until the nurse gave me a stern look that must've meant that if i didnt stop,she'd stick that needle into my eye..Aaaah..

so after that drama we walked home and on our way we stopped at a nursery because mike thought that he'd start off his garden right away.he has a balcony here at his apartment and had been talking about it for a while. so we purchased some pots and some plants.good stuff,mint,rosemary,and some flowers..

we got it potted then we brought it home.you should've seen mike,he was ecstatic but that was nothing because when noor saw the colours,she was just gleaming,i bet she cant wait to start grabbing them once she can walk.   

michael's wife prepared a lovely meal,french egg rolls,and chicken corn soup,was delicious.just before asr we made a little journey to the bookshop to get something printed and mike bought me a nanggg taqiyyeh..its a handwoven woolen one..its awesome..now i fit right into the karabsheh society.

day 6

michael,his wife and noor are making my life bearable

 through the love of Allah and his Beloved messenger peace be upon him.

the moment they're not around,i feel like i'm going to have a proper nervous breakdown,

so today was a quiet day.i was awake quite early but once again

 i had one of those dozing off days.i eventually got out of bed

 just before zuhr azan and made myself a cup of tea,then i chilled with michael.

the nightmare is once i wake up and realise i have to wait for news that may be terrible,

its unbearable.
a definate plus in the day is watching little noor ponder away at why her crab rattle would not talk back to her and have her own conversation with her her little toys

so this evening,after esha,we went to the mall to get some groceries,

and before buying that,we had a burger for dinner at a restaurant called chilis,it was scrumptious

blue mosque-blue day

so cuz,1.that's a recent one of me,3 weeks ago to be precise..
infront of the blue mosque in istanbul..
2.the thing is,i had to compress all my photos because it would take forever to upload,therefore they dont get bigger.unfortunately.
3.there's a problem with my flash card that i had been using in my camera,so i cant access pictures of my nephew presently,but as soon as i can,i'll post them for sure..
ok,so i was stuck in this beautiful place,i was scheduled to fly to new zealand but i missed my flight and was stuck there for 3 days,unplanned vacation.but alhumdulillah,it was the night of the birth of our beloved prophet,peace be upon him,so i got the chance to observe this holy night in one of the most beautiful mosques instead of in seat 29D on Etihad air

you're framed

before you say "ok that looks interesting",stop and think about what you're looking at.
what is it that you're looking at?
if you have any guesses,drop me a post and i'll get back to you on it.
ps.maame,i've been waiting for your suggestions,why didnt you get back to me?

fancy a cup?
