Step one? TEFL

Bismillah..... I registered for TEFL! It's kind of an expensive program but it's near my house and it's face-to-face instruction. Plus I get 160 glorious hours of training. Woot WOOT. Yeah yeah, shijakhae bolkka? (<--- did you get the reference?)

How to treat a girl right

Being a girl, I can only comment on this side of the conversation but I've been thinking lately about this topic: Do's and Do Not's of how to be the perfect Prince Charming. Many of these apply to both genders. Also keep in mind that these are just guidelines created for laughs. Do not take it too seriously. I am not responsible for any fights or failed relationships. ;) enjoy!

I can hear the seasons changing

As soon as the crickets start chirping and the birds sing through the night, you know summer is on its way.

Snail Mail

For the longest time this phrase confused me: what the heck is "snail mail"?! If you are like I was, let me enlighten you. Snail mail is the fancy word for normal mail that is sent through a post office and takes a long time to get to the other person....as opposed to email. Yes, snail mail just means old fashioned sending and receiving letters.

Five times a day

Islam is based on 5 simple pillars:

Belief that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger.
(Allah is the Arabic name/word for God)

Prayer: Muslims pray five times a day. Once before dawn, once at noon, once in the afternoon, once at sunset, and lastly at night.

Fasting. Muslims fast from all food and drink during the month of Ramadan for 30ish days (depending on the lunar calendar) from sunrise to sunset.

Charity. It is required from every Muslim that makes more than $10,000 to pay 2.5% charity per year.

Hajj. As long as they are able (financially and health-wise) to take the trip, Muslims must perform pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudia Arabia. At least once in a lifetime.

Spring Break

With spring break almost over I feel the need to provide you with the highlights of my week~

I spent the beginning of my break convincing my parents to let me enroll in an insanely expensive TEFL program (more on that later when and if I actually enroll). Then some shocking and scary news spread through the community but alhamdulilah that has boiled down. Today was family day at the beach, consisting mostly of B.A.P songs during the car ride, windy weather, a barbecue and two cups of hot tea. :) 

I just wanted to update this blog and give it some of my scattered attention.
Also, a shout out to everyone who reads my posts. If you're ever curious about something, please leave a comment and I might answer via blog post! :D 

I hope you had a wonderful week. It's now kind of late but seeing as I couldn't sleep last night   I feel extremely tired. Good night everyone~!
