Personal

         Salam alaikum. Hi guys. Today I'd love to talk about a close friend.  Sorry about the late post. I've been quite ill. Anyway, I just realised that the best of friends aren't the ones who only impact on you and your life when they are close to you i.e. beside you, your neighbour,  or even your classmate. No ,  even though those kind of friends are important too. I'm talking about the friends who might even be at the other side of the world but still have a strong impact on your behaviour and responses to different situations.

       Alhamdulillah, I resumed my taekwondo classes about a week ago and I was so nervous. I couldn't do anything well when I was being watched. My movements were too stiff, and everything thing else not so normal. I took a deep breath to relax myself and thought to myself.  I could hear his words in my head, telling me to relax and to do it as I knew it and not to make it forced or as if I was struggling.  About a year before that day, I  remember being nervous as hell. He gave his hand to me and calmed me down even though my nails were pretty much causing him so much pain. But he still continued to calm me down and at that time the advise didn't work so much *insert awkward laughter😅*.

      
     Anyway,  about a year later, this advice was working and I  smiled to myself knowing that even in his absence, his words can still affect my reactions.  He  is what I'd call a best friend. Honestly, I can't wait for him to come back and tease me till I punch him once again. I miss you so much if you're reading this right now. You're important to me and I hope that if you didn't know that then at least you know that now. Well this post is just to share something personal and to show that true friends do exist. Btw if you're reading this right now, ragazzo just know that I love you, I hate you, I miss you and can't wait to see you again.

Anyway, shukran. Thanks so much for reading this. It means a lot to me. I'm sorry, just realised that I say anyway too much.  Khuda hafeez. Love you all so much. Remember it's best to be yourself ❤❤❤❤

Happy New Yearrrr🎉🎉🎉🎉

 Assalam alaykum. My lovelies, it has been an amazing year of experiences, gratitude, turmoils and most importantly survival. I'm thankful that I have amazing friends and family and even frenemies. I have a gazillion *I'm not sure it's a word but okay whatever😂* things to be thankful for, people to be thankful to. I've had my rough patches and so have you all, the important thing here is that we pulled through. We survived. It's not just because of ourselves. Nope. Definitely not. We have people to be thankful to and thankful for. I'll start by thanking Almighty Allah fro granting me life throughout this year. In times where I believed I was going insane, you Ya Allah helped me pull through by showing, actually giving me love and support directly and indirectly. Thank you for everything. My wonderful family. My mother, father, sisters and other relatives. Thank you for bearing with me when I was acting my worst even though you had your own problems. Th...

Iftar post #1

Salaam alaikum everyone! Ramadan Kareem🤍!!! How are you all?   I’m fine and I would like to share one of my favorite recipes during Ramadan with you all. I know it’s Hausa name and it is called “ Kunun Gyada” . If I roughly translate it to English, It would mean Groundnut milk and rice gruel. Yes, the English meaning may not be appetizing but I promise that it is absolutely delicious. Warning: Not to be consumed by those with Peanut and peanut related allergies. I’m not sure of the dietary information. I’d recommend preparing this for iftar. For iftar, there’s usually a mini feast with multiple dishes from fruit salads to main dishes. So yeah, and if there are left overs you can have that for sahur bearing in mind that it’s actually quite light.   My mommy always made this for some of our iftars and I’ve loved them ever since. So I learnt the recipe and here it is. There are multiple ways to make this, I mean that there are different variat...
