Food for the souls.

We feed our bodies, 
because if we didn’t, we’d die. 

But so many of us starve our souls, 
forgetting that if we are not praying our soul is dead. 

Ironically, the body we tend to is only temporary, 
while the soul we neglect is eternal.

Daijoubun.

Happy Birthday my dear love!

どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう？

To: My cutest mismatched eyes,

Happy 23rd Birthday!

Please stay strong and happy,
no matter what life brings you.

And please, don't forget to eat healthily dear,
you are getting thinner and it saddens me.
Really.


And dear, please don't forget to smile like you used to.
Things might get hard on you sometimes,
but please bear in mind dear,
you have me, you know you always do.


Just don't forget to smile, will 'ya?
Your smiles are what keep me going everyday.

From: A girl who wants nothing but your precious smiles.

Zutto. Forever. Always.

"素敵な笑顔、変わらない仕種、一つ一つすべてが宝物。。。

Those nice smiles and unchanged behaviour of yours will be treasured by me one by one…

Respect.

This is random.

I happened to watch a programme on a website and you know what, the description that is written under the chatbox makes me laughed so hard. 

The description is as below:

Show IRC chat

(for older kids who can tell time and read the front page, AND are able to talk about the performers that are currently performing and not spazz about other groups when it is not their turn, and is able to not get overly offended when their favorite group is being bashed upon or upon getting kicked out of the chatroom.)

Wow, it's so sarcastic but truly enough, there are some people out there who don't behave like they should. They like to bash upon others and take pleasure in condemning others' preference and opinions.

One piece of advice: 

RESPECT others' preference and opinions. 

You probably don't want others to bash you, right? 

So, don't do it to others either.

Don't get discouraged.

It’s easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, 

but we shouldn’t lose heart, 

because Allah is at work in our lives, 

even in the midst of our pain and suffering.

Why does she stare?

You see that girl staring into space? 

If you were to ask what’s wrong, she would say nothing, 

when in reality it’s everything. 

She’s sitting there wondering what she did wrong, 

what she could have done differently,

how she would have changed it if she had the chance. 

And if she had the chance to go back and do it over again, 

would it end with the same result?

That’s why she stares.

Are you thankful enough?

Are You Thankful?

Did you ever feel like even though you’re praying, you still feel hollow and unfulfilled?

I’m pretty sure everyone has been down that road before. I’m pretty sure every single one of us someday has treated prayer as one pillar you’re just …. obliged to do. 

But what to do when one feels so helpless? 

1. Sit down with a paper and a pen in your hand.
2. Divide the paper with a margin in the middle.
3. Write a numbered list of whatever could possibly be burdening you right now, from the simplest things, to big things. 
4. Done? Now, write another numbered list of the things you’re thankful for in your life.
5. List down everything too; from the computer sitting on your lap, to this blog you can express yourself through, to the delicious pizza you had last night, to the awesome new jeans you just got, to the safe country you’re living in, to the clean water you’re drinking, to your eyesight, to your parents.
6. Just pour everything down.

You couldn’t write down everything you’re thankful for, yeah?

The list is just way too freaking long! It’s actually uncountable!

Do you see what I mean? Can I see a smile on your face now?

That’s why we’re obliged pray. 

Because praying is thanking and praising God for all that He’s given you.

Because when you pray, you’re supposed to remember the uncountable list, and how it’s -compared to the other list- like an ocean compared to a lake!

Whenever you remember this, you remember that God could definitely flip the list around if He wants to, but He doesn’t, because He loves you. 

Do you see it now?

He wants you to be happy, that’s why He’s given you an infinite list of blessings and things to make you happy.

He loves you and wants to see you happy, that’s why He ordered you to pray five times a day,

start everything with His name, and finish everything thanking His name,

so you could remember that you’re too blessed to be stressed,

and smile again and again and again.
