weekends

i love weekends. weekends are days i look forward to. days i always plan to sleep in but fail miserably at doing. which is both good and bad. but i guess im at the phase of life when i enjoy doing nothing. badd sign.

lets not talk about work because work is getting crazy.

i woke up early this morning and took a long drive to visit my uncle at his post office. a little drive outside the city which took about 20 minutes, through the highway, and into a small lovely town. i somehow felt i was in the set of 'Hart of Dixie', i saw old people walking hand in hand, families having coffees, breakfast at little cafes by the streets, people walking their dogs. the weather was incredibly beautiful. a little too cold for my liking, but i love autumn. ive always loved the colors of dried leaves, and the sound it makes as i crush them with my feet.

i had my windows down, and the radio turned off throughout the whole journey to and fro. i wanted peace.
well no. i wanted to hear my gps commands, have i ever mentioned how terrible i am with directions around here? i can never get myself to remember the name of the streets, or highways, i cant even remember if i live on the north, south, east or west side of ade, because everytime someone tries explaining to me the coordinates and location of things, i just never get it. talk about selective hearing. i have a problem of selective understanding.

im pretty sure at some point i understood it. somehow along the way i must have decided not to want to understand how things are, thinking okay someday ill get it, but that someday isn't today. well, someday hasn't happened yet. but thank goodness for modern technology. i almost drove my way towards melbourne ( joking. hi mum ! no this is not true ) , but i managed to find a u-turn, which made me regain my peace while driving.

alls good, im in one piece still, alhamdulillah.

spent my day doing some laundry, and for the love of God, i don't know how i got myself into watching the korean drama 'Winter Sonata' once again, im now on the second last cd. i remember watching it back when i was a teenager, and nowadays i find myself glued to the tele right after gym, at home, with dinner, before bed. its so depressing i wonder how i even made myself watch it the first time. but im watching it again now, so i guess that depression is tolerable. this is my third attempt trying to finish it since mum bought me the dvd set before i flew back here for graduation. so yeah. i must have learnt to handle the depression effect by taking things slow i.e watch a few cds in a week and stop watching for the next month, and continue the month after.

today was also my first online class with SeekersGuidance. i enrolled into two courses this semester. one being Getting Married, and the  other, Fiqh of Life: The essentials of Halal & Haram. today was my first lecture on marriage course. pretty enlightening. the course instructed by Syakh Faraz Rabbani was insightful and eye opening.

among naseeha that was given in the lecture today was on how we should always work on ourselves to be better. to be ready for marriage, and to look at where we are at with our religion. dont sell ourselves short, and take the means to that greater purpose we seek for in this life.

the best part of the lecture was his ending statement,

" Marriage is not about you. Its not about your spouse. Its about Allah swt. Your spouse is a companion in this journey of life, and marriage is a means of taking you to that higher purpose. So choose a companion that you think will please Allah the most, "
