MY RAMADHAN EXPERIENCE

HEY LOVED ONES!!!

To My Fellow Muslims Asalaam Aleikum!!!!

I know.. I know.. It has been a million years since my last post.. bear with me, I'm trying to get used to this blog thing.. but I will try to post as much as i can..

Sooo yet again it is the Holy month of Ramadan. I am not going to go into detail about what this month means to us Muslims and etc but mainly its about fasting and praying and just being a good muslim, everyday for around a month to 40 days (i dont count) for like 19 hrs each day (again i dont count)

LETS BEGIN!!!!!!

Prayer..
I dont pray frequently (the 5 salats/prayers) any day including during ramadan but.. I AM TRYING!!! dont judge.. baby steps honey.. (i make a point to constantly say duas(kinda like small short prayers) to everything every time before and after)
but compared to other days, during ramadhan, I am a very prayerful person.. infact i am the one who nags my brother(who's following me) to constantly pray(the 2 little ones are always on time.. they outshine me).. I am like the jackie chan of prayer.. the shia lebouf of prayer "i just DO IT!!!"  (seriously hoping you got that joke)

Fasting..
This is hard!!! especially if you are a food junky..like me.. but am used to it.. kinda.. but during the beginning, like when i was younger, it... was... BRUTAL!!!!!

I would almost cry.. i kept sucking my thumb(yes i was a thumb sucker, i stopped after falling down the stairs and almost losing my 2 front teeth.. thinking back, it was hilarious.. story for another day..)
Now some people say at the beginning of the fast is the hardest or towards the end.. or in the middle or when its hot or when its cold.. For me!!! Its towards the finish line of ramadhan, the last week.. and when its cold.. because unlike heat which only makes you thirsty, cold brings HUNGER!!!!!!!! and alot of my projects are research based, so when I'm tired of  studying, I tend to wonder off.. and guess who i meat.. i mean meet along the way... those cooking youtube videos.. those food images.. those evil eeeeevillll delicious yummy food.... and the smell from the neighbor's kitchen.. keep in mind i still have'nt gone to cook for iftar(evening meal) with mummy.. who will hit my mum whenever i forget and try to taste something..
ooh by the way check out this video for easy to make mug cakes, stumbled on it and i thought i should share..

Anger..
Now naturally whenever i get hungry, i am one grumpy MATHA(its ramadhan shhhh) so you can imagine during this holy month.. I snap at even air!!! "Like waow you just chose to blow this direction huh, i wish i had a leaf blower vacuum to suck THE AIR OUT OF YOU!!! YOU HEAR ME!!!????"  or when someone accidentally walks infront of him and we almost bump into each other, i will mumble all the way home in anger..

then remember am fasting and try to just chiiiillllll... (It is not encouraged to be angry, fight or insult someone during ramadan, it is considered like breaking your fast aka eating so you try keep it on a lease/leach.. i dont know.. that thingy that is used on dogs )
anywho.. That is where Yoga and prayer and reading the Quran (sometimes 4 me.. like 4 times a week) comes into action..

Sleepyness!!!! (there is no such word but its Kenya, we can say whatever we want lol)
 If you dont keep busy during this cold weather, and you are fasting, and keep in mind you just cant watch any movie or listen to just any music, then you will end up falling asleep, waking up grumpier and tossing & turning all night coz you used up all your sleep..dummy..  which is me... in some days.. what?? dont judge!!! the struggle is real!

So those are my major experiences during ramadhan so far.. Just for the sake of MR. SAKE over here, I am proud of being a Muslim, I love my religion, and all it really stands for(not the fabricated lies used to oppress others MADE BY MAN and not God) and I appreciate this Holy month..

Thank you for reading aka letting me bore you lol
LOVE YOU! LOVE YOU! LOVE YOU!
Ramadhan Kareem to my dear Muslims.. and Be blessed to my non Muslims..
I dont even care who is what or who.. Ramadhan kareem and be blessed to you all
I love you all either way xoxo
