Guess Who's Back??

Hello my dearest loveliest readers :D. I must apologize for not posting for a very long time (if you care). I've been either busy, lazy, or blank. There wasn't much to talk about. My last post was about my OSCE so let me update you. 

With all thanks given to Allah I've happily and proudly passed this hideous horrible year. Alhamdolillah! My scores were really high considering the lost world I've lived for the three years before this one! I'm thankful that I learned my lesson even though it was the very hard way!! *read my really old posts if you dunno what I'm talking about*

I went to my hometown. Stayed two weeks and went back to lovely, hot, damp Jeddah. I missed it and I love it with all its negatives. Hehehe. And Ramadan Karim all!! I'm not the first to say it, that I must confess, but at least I said it :p. 

So I don't really have something to talk about in particular!! I've watched few movies and read few books. This post is gonna be a mash-up I'm telling you from now hehehe. I watched Incendies recommended by dear Khaleda. If you have a weak heart I strongly suggest that you don't watch it :D. The only reason I didn't weep was that my sister was sleeping right next to me. But yea I guess after all it's a must watch.

The books I read, I guess they're all three after all :\. I don't remember when did this laziness progress, but it's dangerous indeed!!!! The first book was in Arabic. I guess I found a translation for it once I'm not sure. I'll search again if you ask :p. The book's name is حوار مع صديقي الملحد = conversation with my atheist friend. Written by Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud may he rest in peace. Now I've seen the book first in my friend's -Maria- blog. She wrote about it. I was mesmerized but again, busy/lazy mental state and I forgot about it. Until few weeks back when another friend emailed it to me. I don't even know how she knew I wanted it :|. So I read it. And my oh my. You know as Muslims (probably born Muslims) you take things as it is. You never think why, or how, or what's the point of this or that. 'Cause mostly you think it might show some disrespect to Allah if you question His teachings. But somehow, these questions one way or another cross our minds. And they better get some satisfying answers before it's too late or too complicated, unless your faith is unshaken mashallah and you don't really need justifications. This book, might not answer most of these questions that cross our minds, but it answers the important ones at least. And the fact that he -Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud- was skeptical himself made him even more credible to write what he did. I say it's a must read whether you're skeptical or a strong believer, I really believe this book would benefit us all, provides us some really strong cut to the point answers when we're struck by a question and forces us to contemplate over every single thing. 'Cause I believe answers come easily to those who've searched a lot! I've never been this happy after finishing a book nor enthusiastic like I am with this one. I'm now more inclined to read all his books!! 

The other two books were novels. I read first, Curtain. Agatha Christie never ever ever fails to entertain me!!! This woman is a really piece of work. I won't be much surprised if I learned later that she murdered few people and nobody knew about them :\. Now if you're familiar with Agatha and her list of novels then you probably knew that  Curtain is her last book. And Poirot's last case too. And maybe I'm an idiot, but even with the fact that it's his last book I never guessed who did it :p. But if you never read for her, then I suggest you read anything but the last. You have to accustom your mind and thinking to her style first. 

The last book that took really a very long time, is Chromosome 6. Read it like at the beginning of the year in Med07's library. But never came back for it. And remembered it only few weeks ago too. It's a really entertaining book especially if you're a medical student. 

The other thing I'd like to share since I'm having a serious trouble with finding ebooks with the .epub format, I must say that I came across a really lovely post from a guy/girl today and I'm so happy and proud to have made my first epub book hehehehe. With the cover too :p. 

Also, inspired by the lovelies Asmaa and Khaleda I decided to unpuzzle my puzzle that I kept on hiding for almost three years now. Wish no one messes with it or I'll go grenades over his head >_>.

This is pretty much it. No Ramadan spirit showing? Well I must admit that my period started with the month, my circadian rhythm is completely messed up, so there you go. It won't feel like Ramadan until my period ends :p. But have a nice spiritual month and pray for all of us. And don't forget to donate to Somalia :).

Mwaah take care. ♥♥
