Ramadan Diary Day 29 (Sunday 27th July 2014)

Hey Everyone! :D

The last fasting day of the month! I cannot believe that this is the last day, honestly saying to me I feel that it went by quite fast of course there were days that were slow but overall I think it went really fast. I hope everyone enjoyed their Ramadan, I hope it was enriching and you learnt something from it even if it is just one little thing it's still something! :D



Anyways I woke up as usual, ate food, and then I got on my laptop and did a bit of writing but I mostly wanted to write a review on the book that I read and I did! :D It can be found on goodreads (a link will on my expressive writing blog so do check it out).

I like writing and I think writing reviews also helps improves writing especially when you have certain criterias to meet. Like you can't give away the story, and you have to give perspectives of both sides (if you're like me and want to be fair) and of course for me personally, I naturally use words that I normally wouldn't and that is the key factor of improving one's writing.

Anyways, tomorrow is Eid and I'm SUPER excited about it, I already know what I'm going to wear and I have planned out exactly what to wear so it's all sorted out now. I'm really excited and syched! I will post a picture of what I'll be wearing tomorrow so yay for that! :D

Well that's the end of our Ramadan Diary entry until next year everyone (In Sha Allah) take care and think positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 28 (Saturday 26th July 2014)

Hey Everyone!! :D

So today I got very few hours of sleep (I was very restless from the body pain for some reason and I ended up reading the current book) it was good because now I can sleep early and wake up early and get my sleeping patterns and eating patterns in check.

I ended up reading and completing another book I started a few days ago and I must admit the book in itself was very good and I'm planning to start writing reviews on any books or shows that I have encountered :) This would be a great way to improve on my writing and of course to really put my perspective in view as I have many thoughts on many books.

Anyway I plan start another story (reading wise) as I have a few and I swear to you I will be continuing my story writing tomorrow hopefully.

Anyways today I have been in the best mood for who knows what the reason but I feel totally like my old self again and it feels great! (I've been told by my youngest sis that I'm apparently acting drunk again LOL).

Anyways that's all for now until tomorrow everyone! Take care and think positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 27 (Friday 25th July 2014)

Hello Everyone! :D

I'm back with another Ramadan Dairy entry. Today wasn't such a great day because I received some bad news from my big sis. I will say what as it's personal and more her business than mine. I just feel a little shocked by the news and surprised but at the same time not so surprised. Anyways, other than that everything today was pretty normal, I didn't get any writing done yet but after this post I shall do a little writing. Other than that there's nothing much to say, so take care everyone and thnk positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 26 (Thursday 24th July 2014)

Hello Everyone! :D

So today I woke up at 1:30pm and washed up, then I ate some food and then after a bit on the laptop I went and started to read the Qur'an. Now, I've already finished my part, however my older brother didn't get to complete his so I contributed to it. Since it's one of the odd nights of the last 10 days where some Muslims go into seclusion and pray gaining as much rewards from the blessed 10 days. Allah has mentioned about one of the odd nights containing some powerful rewards and is the best time to ask for anything and pray for forgiveness to Allah. This is why most Muslims tend to pray as if that night is the night and because no one is sure of the blessed day Allah has mentioned it is one of the remaining last 10 days. So tonight is one of the odd nights of those day where Allah will listen to you and will answer you (whether it be what you wanted or not Allah will place it upon knowing what's best for you). As it happens to be one of the odd nights, I'll be praying and reading the Qur'an as much as I can.


Also, after I finished reading the Qur'an I went shopping with my dad and it was really relaxing. I really enjoyed it, it was just what I needed and my dad enjoyed the outing too. I already have what I'm going to wear for Eid so I picked up some jewellery and bought a nice sari for my mum. It was so calming and it made me want to go for a picnic with my friends. Which I plan to do after Ramadan, I think they will enjoy it and I will as well. It will also benefit my health as well.

After that we came home, I freshened up and got ready for Iftar, which we ordered pizza because these few days I haven't been really eating properly so my mum was really sweet enough to get pizza. It was a nice calming meal and it was enjoyed with everyone and I loved it.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any writing done today, but I won't give up on it. Because I really want to write and tomorrow I might do some painting (it's been WAY too long since the last time I did anything artistic so I want to do that) and of course some more writing too. Lets just hope I can wake up earlier than usual.

Well that's all for today, I hope you all had a wonderful day. Take care and think positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 25 (Wednesday 23rd July 2014)

Hello Everyone!! :D

Day 25! :O Not long to go now, really excited about Eid, the celebration the food the new clothes EVERYTHING! I love Eid so much, I hope everyone has a wonderful Eid. Anyways, I didn't post yesterday because I wasn't feeling too well, felt so weak and tired and hardly even ate anything. I really needed to get some rest, as I did and now I'm feeling a lot better today! :D



I woke a late again but this time I think I will be able to get more writing done though! :) I have to keep my spirits up or else I won't be able to get anything done at all! So after this post and a few snooping here and there I will be headlocked onto my writing. I felt bad because I didn't do anything yesterday but today I will definitely get something done. :)

Well that's all that's happened, take care everyone and think positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 24 (Tuesday 22nd July 2014)

Hey Everyone! :D

So as I said on my previous post that I will update again and I am :D This time I'm doing it a little earlier because I don't want to forget or make a commitment so late and never keep it.



So lets get to it shall we? Firstly, I'm really happy that I woke up early - it's a good sign, meaning that I'll be able to fall asleep early (In Sha Allah) and wake up early again and hopefully keep up with that pattern until it's second nature to me. Secondly, I have been eating however not as much because I just don't feel like eating anything, especially when I'm surrounded by people that are fasting it's not right to be eating in front of them (and I don't) so I tend to not eat as much. Although, the sweet thing is my youngest sister or my mum would say to me to eat because I'm not well enough to be fasting so I should be eating more. That really puts a smile on my face, to think that they actually worry about me, I mean I know they do in general of course they're my family so they would, but for them to voice it it's really nice of them to because it helps encourage me to eat more. So thank you for that! :D

Now my day in general was ok, I was watching Shahruhk Khan's life inside and outside of the stardom world and it's really interesting. I like watching these things it places a lot of thoughts in one's mind when you watch another and especially when you can relate to their daily life even just by a little. You start to think that they are in fact human, and are only playing a certain role in a movie or show. It has a good perspective to in my opinion.

Also I thought of writing, and I know I mentioned previously that I would make a start on it, but I still haven't. I think it's because I'm so absorbed into the stories I'm currently reading that I just can't help myself to continue on. But, if and when I wake up early (In Sha Allah) tomorrow I shall be mostly focusing on that and a little less on reading (I will still be reading!).

Well that's it for today I think it was quite a long entry, so I hope you enjoyed reading it (It's also why I categorised it under general too). I would like to hear your Ramadan day or you day in general so don't hesitate and drop in a comment or feel free to say hi because I most probably will reply! :D

Take care and think positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 23 (Monday 21st July 2014)

Hey Everyone,

I'm sorry I didn't post this entry yesterday because I was really tired and I wanted to go to bed which I did and now I've woken up early. So happy that I did because this means that my sleep routine is going to slowly start coming together.

Anyways yesterday nothing exciting really happened, I was just doing a little bit of reading but mostly I was craving to do A LOT of writing. I didn't do anything but I think will tomorrow (Today - Tuesday 22nd) because I really want to get my creative side flowing through again.

Other than that it was a pretty normal day I also posted my 3 poems that I worked on during the storm on Friday which you can read if you like. Although I want to say something else happened but honestly saying nothing else did, it was a pretty normal day to be honest.

So with that being said I shall now say take care everyone and think positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 22 (Sunday 20th July 2014)

Hey everyone! :)

Ok I know this is a day late and it's because I was so engrossed in the book I'm reading that I didn't even realise that it was so late and I went to bed completely not realising that I was supposed to make an entry. But I'm here now :) so lets get to it shall we? :P



So like I said to you I was going to read the Qur'an, the portion that I still had left, and Alhamdulilah I managed to finish it with a stiff body and pain shooting everywhere it was still fine. My reading has not been so consistant in tone and I was making a lot of mistakes which clearly showed that I am not a regular reader. So I think I need to start making this a part of my more often so that it will be flowy (is that even a word? lol).

Anyway after I read the Qur'an I read that story I am currently reading and ended up finishing it and started the second book where there are a few chapters but still on hold. I'm not reading another story by the same author and it's really increasing my writing a lot (The three poems I worked on will be posted today on my writing blog check the links to find the blog).

So that was that happened, I really enjoyed it today :) it was really good. During Iftar the boys all went to the mosque for an invite from the Imam. So it was just us girls spending our time together, that was really worth it. :D

Anywho, that's all for now, I'll catch up with you all later today for today's daily diary entry. Take care and think positive. Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 21 (Saturday 19th July 2014)

Hey everyone! :D

So today I didn't do anything other than reading that book I told you about. It's funny, intense and unpredictable and I really love it a lot! :D

I think tomorrow I will finish off the rest of my Qur'an reading as I feel like I want to read it :) it feels weird not to. Today for Iftar we ate grill food which was A-maze-ing!!! :D Alhamdulilah today's meal was simply magnificent and I felt grateful for eating. My youngest brother, however, had a BBQ with his friends for Iftar which was nice.

I think it will wonderful to have a family BBQ just my family because I know there will be jokes and great talks all the way. I think I rubbed off little of my positive thinking to my family because they all start thinking a little more optimistically.

Anyways that's all for today take care everyone and think positive as always Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 20 (Friday 18th July 2014)

Hey Everyone! :D

Ok today I was not feeling too well, and didn't have much of an appetite. I have no idea why, probably the unstable sleep? I'm not exactly sure but I think that could be one of the reason. Either way that is what I have been feeling.



I didn't eat much either which I know isn't so good so I would be eating more just after I finish this post :) Also the heat has been quite drastic and definitely was one of the hottest day of the year so far. Consequently, I went out to get a little sun and it was good but did not feel great because of the heat. However I kept myself cool bing beside the shade. It really was good.

Speaking of the weather, remember how I said it was hot? Well afterwards during the night there was THUNDERSTORMS and LIGHTNING!! It was pretty intense and honestly saying it inspired me to write a few poems (Which I will be publishing on my expressive writing blog soon).

I started reading that novel I came across called Falling for Sakura, and I must admit I fell in love with it straightaway! I haven't been abosorbed into a book in a while and it felt refreshing :) To make one's life better changing around one's routine a little helps make the most of your daily life.

Overall it was a eventful day in it's own way. Now if you'll excuse my I shall get back to my book while I eat a lot (or try to at least). Take care and think positive Tarana A beaming star shining with positivity for the world to embrace xoxox
