Unexpected Surprise


I almost forgot I have a blog, I was so busy in house(we painted the second floor preparing for something mysterious), mosque(see summer plan I), along with the here & there things.
As the usual days grandma was praying Al-Dhuha nearly at 11:15 am, my aunts & mom was in the kitchen, my father was at the office, my brother Mohamed was gardening, me, my uncle & my brother Hareith was watching an action movie(means; Slater, kidnap, rubbery, explosions, J.C. Van dam, guns & hot chicks).

Nearly at 13:25 pm the door bill rang I rushed for it but my brother forerun me, it was my older aunt family, I went greeting them & asked my cousin(she is the sweetest engineer fresh woman, if there is such a thing): " what's the occasion?, it's not that normal thing that you all come at Thursday!!?", she stung my waist & said" thanks god its not your house, or else I'd never come!" I replied & really thought of pulling her hair & make her scream" well you'd save a great deal on me", that why I like her cause she is like the sister I never had, following dinner my other aunts families came I really thought their was something wrong, cause such gather we only used to see in pigrams.
The hall we was watching movie at turned into a bee comb, each & every tongue was moving( policy, makeup, marriage, qeishbee a kind of talking on others in their absence mainly a bad thing), I realized their was something unusual every body was looking toward me & giving that smile( its really something that bothers & discomfort able), I was talking to my cousin(a professor at medicine) so it obviously was a perfect combination, my mother called me so I excused my self & went to her, she wanted me to buy her a beverage for the huge party being held inside.
I went to the nearby markets & bought a SPRITE I like it so much, I went back their simply was no body at home " well am I in a wrong house?, no that is our car i`m at home, but were was every body?", lost in this questions I gazed at my family coming out from the guest & bedrooms singing" happy birthday to you G." I said to my self :" cut the crap, have you people got nuts? I'm not a kid any more", I admit I felt my self lost, shocked, & a kid once again.

I enjoyed afternoon with my family, yet I felt there was something messing, I noticed that every body enjoyed it with the person he loves, I wish she was there I wonder what would she possibly brought me if she was there, cause I really thought about what I would give her I didn`t come out in any thing( I thought of giving her my heart but I remember it already hers).

I`m now 20 years old officially, which means I finished my second decade having a bunch of dreams yet didn`t come true, being a teacher in my college among the most, write the pharmacology book I already started research about, go to hajj, buy the land I dream of( I'll mention that later), build my own design house map on, get married ( I found her its just a matter of time before I get my regular job that would aid me to propose for her, I'll make her the happiest wife on earth & if that is already been set by Allah that every body is meant to die, I'll be so grateful to die knowing I'd spent my life with most perfect woman on earth & to die in her arms is my good thought of death.)
Next time it'll not takes that long to write you about my youth center because I got permission to photograph it.
See you all!!?? Next time

summer`s plans

Hello, I intended to write this blog at the end of june, at the end of suffering & at the end of my challenge, well I had to travel to Syria once finished exams not for entertainment, but for fixing my grandma, she is now O.K. which is the thing I was praying the nights for.
July may be the start of a new thing, yes it’s the start of summer & the traffic jam of plans, this summer (inshallah) I'll do the following:
1. My mosque`s competition for memorizing Quran
2. The youth center activity & most of all my volley & soccer teams
3. Reading at least 15 book, about my specialty for sure
4. Ramadan & what can I say about that, first comes first
5. My gym, I want to keep been in shape
6. The seniors of the medical college summer`s activity, i`m a member of it
7. Learning how to drive, I don`t know how yet :)
8. drawing which is yet hidden, buried & unrevealed talent of mine( see my other blog mypoemsandpaintings.blogspot.com )
Chapter I : The Quran competition
Besm Allah alrahman alraheem (in the name of Allah most gracious most compassionate), my mosque was among the first of those who started the idea of the summer's Quran competition by the creative assertion of my sheikh " Ghaneem Al-Eithan", I can remember that me, my brother & other kids of my neighborhood was among the first batch in this competition, surely I took the first place among my fellows, then my brother & Mahmood son of the sheikh came third, this was nearly from eleven years ago & it was about juza`a amma :) .
*My mosque "Seddeq Rashan" is one of the largest mosques in Mosul, that after graduating two batches, this competition spread all over mosques in Mosul, in this summer just as the last one I'm a teacher (a sheikh شيخ غيث بعيد البلى) for the lovely kids of my neighborhood, that summer I haven't found much great deal in teaching them, taking into account that they are the children of a professors & doctors.
*I find my self now talking about my students, Hareith is a blessed kid, I find a great interest about him( he remembers me my self at his age) he is so clever kid Allah save him, he is actually the best kid in my group, sometimes I see him pushing people in the raw to stand praying by me, sweet kid ha?!!.
*Now lets talk about my impressions, first about Harieth, I found my self with a feeling I admit I was afraid of at the beginning, I felt that this kid is closer for me than a student, I loved him as a son, that is it …… nothing to add.
The other thing is that I'm a teacher after all, finally I tried the feeling of being a teacher, & I found it a cool thing, passing your knowledge to the other is like achieving the infinity, & the poet says:
Stand for the teacher in honor he deserves, the teacher is almost a prophet.
*Finally, I'll try to keep pace with the latest to write in the blog & I may even share you the graduation ceremony if I been allowed to tape it.
Best regards,
