A Trip Down Memory Lane.




This particular post was inspired by a random conversation I had with my mum. I say “random” because I don’t remember how it came about which is usually how some of our conversations happen.
She reminded me of a time when  I went to her telling her what the help we had then said to me. She had said I was going to take long to move out of my childhood or parental home. As my mum told me that, the day the help said it came back to me. She’d said quite a few things and kept the rest to herself. What she didn’t say is what bothered me the most.
My mum bringing it up made me ponder on it again. The certain look in the help’s eyes. I kept asking her what she had seen or read to no avail not even if it was good or bad.
I really am not sure as to whether I trust these seers, palm readers and whatnot. I neither read nor believe in Horoscopes cause the writers rotate the occurrences as I am told.
Do you believe in it? Would you ever like to know what is going to happen in your future if someone offered to read your palm? Would you seek them out and believe whatever you are told?
The curious soul in me did this out of disbelieve and as a test. I thought she was going to tell me something that would be tangible- enough to happen like the next day or week at least. But these things that take over time to occur? Nope!
Why is it the people who do this never tell you the hard knock life problems you will face? Those are the things we need to be prepared for after all, ‘forewarned is forearmed.’ Those are the things we need to know and not the windfalls.

Morbid Curiosity?!


 You’ll never guess what weird things people are into these days! I thought i knew it all and nothing could shock me nor surprise me. How wrong I was because I recently got to know that there is a website with the domain www.hell.com. Weird, right?
You would not believe my shocked reaction when I heard about the existence of said domain. I am by nature a certified curious soul. A lot of things whether interesting or not pique my curiosity to the point of restlessness. The desire to know is one of my driving forces.
Much as I am fond and guilty of killing random cats out there, I’ve never been curious enough to search for such a website and whatever is on it. When I heard about it; I got this chilling fear, wondered if we as people are that far gone in terms of moral and ethical decay. So many questions ran through my mind but the one I kept asking myself is, ‘why would someone create a website with such a domain name?’ What for?
I am a Muslim by religion and we hear so many stories on what happens to us when we die, in the grave, the punishments we receive in hell…things you would not want to hear nor read about cause they are scary. To know there is a person out there morbid enough to create such a website really baffled my mind!
I don’t know what is on the website firsthand. My mother came to know about it from a friend of hers and in turn told me. Curiosity got the best of her as she asked me to browse for it. The good thing is someone had the sense to take it down or maybe that website’s hosting company turned down the prospect of hosting it further.
I doubt that i would have liked seeing what was on it. What I gathered from my mother is, people write about their Near Death Experiences in hell or from hell. Which begs the question, ‘aren’t Near Death Experiences usually about going to Heaven?’ We have seen people act such experiences in movies, right? I guess if one has an NDE about hell, the experience is asking them to change their lifestyle and religious practices, don’t you agree?
The one good thing to come out of this knowledge is, it lit the spark for my curiosity about Heaven. I wondered if there is a website where people write about their Near Death Experiences in or from Heaven? If it is there or not, I have to say I am too chicken to browse for it. Some things are better left to the imagination and time when God calls you to answer for your deeds.

Worst Week Ever!



I had one of the worst weeks of my life last week. Not only was I robbed of some of my most expensive possessions, one of my good friend’s friend had the audacity to start abusing me on said good friend’s wall!
Why do boys think; just because they want to talk to you, make you focus your attention on them against your will that it is likewise?
I wrote on my friend’s wall and on pops this chap’s silly comment! After the bad days I had been through, I wasn’t having any of that nonsense. Yes! Being a girl doesn’t mean I have to talk to you just because you want to.
Fun-knee is; when you refuse to accommodate them, they start hurling insults which is exactly what this guy did. I gave as good as I could and left it at that deciding to wait for my friend to comment instead of fighting with someone so worthless!
Okay, realistically, why would you comment on a post that is not meant for you especially when you hardly know the person that posted it in the first place? What is the purpose behind the act? I’d presume you can make a post of your own since you want to talk to the person, right? I don’t think you’ll find me commenting on a post that wasn’t addressed to me nor would I write nonsensical comments just to irritate!
On a lighter note, I thank God for my amazing friends and soul sister. Trying times are easy to deal with with you guys. Thank you for the care and the concern. Love each and everyone of you. xo
