If you liked my writings and was following it I here announce that I have officially moved to a new blog
that only contains my writings:

Esperanza Writes

There I am on a mission to write. I write and you enjoy to the max. n_n

Please check it out for updates.

May Allah bless you.



This is it

I came across many scenarios to come up with this post. I tried with funny like: I got abducted by aliens... But.... Exhale... Inhale .. Try once again Esperanza Once again. I knew everything comes with an end. I knew this blog has to come with an end, I thought the end of it would be my death. I'm still alive and this blog is ending once and for all. This blog has been my dear friend that never failed me.. It was and is my dairy throughout my four years of blogging. It's hurting me to leave it I wish I could come with a wicked explanation as if why I am leaving it.. I'm lost with words.. Words for once cannot serve me well here. I might come back again in the far future but that is just a possibility. The desicion has been made. And all is left is to: Thank all who have gone with me in the blogging journey. To thank all who supported me and thought well of me. To kiss this blog farewell. And to say my farewells. Goodbye amigos. Adios my friends. It was a great journey with you. Sigh... Teardrops... Let's hope for a better future for all of us. -an ex-blogger.. And a future writer.

Summer's list Item #20. Start a collection (CROSSED)

To tell you the truth this item from the Summer's List started a long time ago years I mean, but it expanded after I've written it on the list. As you see I have this thing for Mugs every time I see any I just have the urgency to buy them (I hold myself a lot of times though). 

A Letter from the Future

 I received a letter from the future. At first it wasn't believable to me but I somehow believed it and I... well read the letter and it might help you understand:

Dear Esperanza,
This may sound abnormal but I'll try to make it sound as realistic as I could. I am here a person from the future which happens to be a successful writer. Yes to make it more clearer I am a writer from the future which also happens to be the same person that is reading this letter. You and I are the same person. I came to inform you that yes you had made it to your dreams successfully and I .. we are working on this success by still being passionate about it.
I am also sending this letter to inform you that I'm taking over this blog... or somehow your future is taking over this blog... This blog will no longer be signed as (-An ex-patient on the go) it has a negative impact and I want you to look forward to the future you. Which is me right now.
So from today onward I'm and I say it again am taking over your blog and assigning it to (-A writer from the future.)
I'm sorry but this is for the best.
Yours Truly,
Your Future self.

P.s: I'd like to thank Saad from Sa3adtrips on suggesting that I change my signature for it will have a negative impact on me in the long way term. Thanks a million.

Used Bookstores

I came across TWO not one used bookstores you can buy from, YET I never did try any of them but sharing is caring.. or yeah you get the point right?

This (Link) is a bookstore were you would actually view online and then reserve the books you want then it is yours to pick up until a certain time, then it is no longer yours if you are late (you'll receive an email of confirmation and such).

The other bookstore read it here on Desert Girl's blog. Which is basically both a used bookstore and a cafe with other qualities it's all in the blog.

Dear Dairy

Dear Dairy,
My words, my thoughts, my emotions ...all lies within you..
You hear me as nobody could..
You help me resolve the problems and thoughts I go through..
Even though no words escapes you...
And even though I neglect you at times.. many times that is..
You are still there...
Just as where we left out ...
Just to hear from me more...
Loyal as you are...
You never disappoint me...
You behold the tales of my life....

Yours Truly,
The holder of this pen.

I saw this picture that is taken by Sara Al-Rayes and I couldn't help but fall in love with it mashAllah. Thanks Sara for allowing me to use it.

How Acceptable is that?

I've been thinking on a lately bases ... or most probably in a long term bases.....

instead of this happening:

This would happen?

What I mean is (and when I speak I mean in the terms of the "Kuwaiti" society) what if a girl finds a qualified man, not perfect cause nobody is perfect.. but meets up to that certain girl standards, this is the best a guy could be and would certainly meet up with her families standards.
Nothing of love but the girl knows that this is the guy she would love to be with in her future. Can she propose? Ask him to marry her? To ask her hand from her father?
What will the guy's thoughts would be? Will he think low of this girl?
Will this be ok?
I've heard one story that worked out that way... but what about the rest? Could it work out?
Can it be possible?
If I happen to ask a guy to marry me (not that there is any in mind it's just a thought) would he say yes?
Your thoughts please....

You're Late for Your Flight

One of the things that I feel grateful for is the subject I took through my eight years in middle-high school (mainly talks about how to deal with life and such).
This is something I learned from it and I would gladly add my own words and share them with my readers.
Let's all view together this scenery ok? Alright ... here we go.
You have booked this trip to this bizarre place you wanted to, since ages ago. And today is your flight, you wake up late and you late to your flight. You quickly drive to the airport and run with your luggage. And "BAM" you bump into someone, that someone is then throws in a bunch of rude comments. What do you do?
You've got two choices:

1. You can stand there and reply with a rudder comment. And start a fight while there is only a couple minutes to spare to the late flight. Hence, your missing on the flight.
2. Or you could simply ignore and retreat to your path and catch the flight of your dreams.

I know I would go for number two that's a sure thing. I wouldn't I repeat wouldn't waste such an opportunity that I've waiting for since forever for a, and I put into quotation, "Stupid" "Worthless" thing.

This is life the flight is your goal you've set up for yourself. The rude person is all the obstacles, negative things, along with actually people who put you down in a way or another. Don't waste your time on such things. 

Everything is worthless, a small trifle to your life when there is a divine place to go to.

Think about it...

Mirrors Before Others

This is one of the post where it actually started as an angry rant between myself and I (surprise surprise!) and all I could see is yes I've been through this and this is just another way to let it out here.

"MIRRORS" people!! MIRRORS =YOURSELF 

OTHERS= OTHER people

*takes a breath*

sorry let's start again..

Dear People (some not all),
When you look at other's faults and imperfections does it make you perfect? Or are you born perfect?
Take a second to think....
.........
.........
I ask again look at the mirror.. Do you see yourself flawless?
If No, then WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CRITICIZING OTHERS???
If Yes, nobody is flawless go re-evaluate yourself.
Be busy with dealing with your imperfections,
say to yourself "I am too busy to see my flaws to pay attention to other's flaw".
I'm still with loving yourself and not seeing the bad in yourself..
BUT ..
Don't criticize others. It is not good for you (everything will be held against you) nor is it good for others.
Look for beauty in people and stop every negative look about them.
Now here is a polite request......
Please,
Pretty Please consider this...

Thank you!
Lots of love,
A Victim of Criticism

Al-Talbeneh

I keep hearing about the Talbeneh (which is actually one of the wheat products produced). It is one of the Prophets (PBUH) recommendation for health and one of the many illnesses.
One of the many things it cures that caught my attention in the whole thing in the first place is "Depression". It is rarely that you hear that a thing you eat actually cures this.

أ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمَيِّتُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَاجْتَمَعَ لِذَلِكَ النِّسَاءُ ، ثُمَّ تَفَرَّقْنَ إِلا أَهْلَهَا وَخَاصَّتَهَا   أَمَرَتْ بِبُرْمَةٍ مِنْ تَلْبِينَةٍ فَطُبِخَتْ ، ثُمَّ صُنِعَ ثَرِيدٌ فَصُبَّتْ التَّلْبِينَةُ عَلَيْهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَتْ : كُلْنَ مِنْهَا ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُول : ( التَّلْبِينَةُ مُجِمَّةٌ لِفُؤَادِ الْمَرِيضِ ، تَذْهَبُ بِبَعْضِ الْحُزْنِ ) رواه البخاري ( 5101 ) ومسلم ( 2216 ) . 

 Now my mom did them the other day in Al-Mhalabiya way. Not being a Mahalbiya fan either I didn't go past a quarter of the spoon, meaning I didn't like it's taste.

There are other ways to make it like a drink (will be giving the link later). It is also written in the Al-Owaid packaging the way of making it and the benefits of it.

Here are the links for more info of the Talbeneh and how to make it: Link Link
