ORGAN DONATION.. with or against ?

"مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ كَتَبْنَا عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنَّهُ مَن قَتَلَ نَفْسًا بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أَوْ فَسَادٍ فِي الأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّمَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَمَنْ أَحْيَاهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا وَلَقَدْ جَاء تْهُمْ رُسُلُنَا بِالبَيِّنَاتِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُم بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي الأَرْضِ لَمُسْرِفُونَ"
"005.032 On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. "

imagine you were in a serious critical condition on a bed somewhere inside the ER surrounded by your friends and family waiting for a solution.. what's the problem? your liver, kidney or spleen suddenly stopped working!
what is the first poping idea to all?
CAN SOME ONE DONATE A KIDNEY ? or else you'd die.

if in this situation you accepted to recieve an organ, will you donate one of yours later on ? or perhaps when you die?

isn't it greedy to have the chance to re-live your life from others organs and not to pay the debt back ?

will you donate your organs after you die? why ? why not ?

ZAMZAM results analysis !

CONTAMINATED !!

Result analysis:
there are more than one reason for the growth to be as it shows up in the picture, one of which i think is true .
(1) Zamzam is a regular water and the spirtuality and curing features comes from Allah.
(2) zamzam sample was not pure or maybe mixed with other water at the time of filling the bottles in mekka
(2) incubation temperature (44 degrees) revived the bacterial cells in the sample. (direct filtration without incubation will confirm or deny this theory , so i will do it)
(3) zamzam loses its characterestics after a period of time
(4) ..... you write your opinion :)

ZAMZAM experiment ! part 2

goodmorning :)
back to phase two of our experiment . the samples were kept in the incubator for over 48 hours and a good growth is expected.


samples taken out and what we need: funnels, filter papers, growth media "food", and sample


funnel fixed in the "membrane filtration system"



take and fix the filter paper to the system


add sample and run the device.


remove the filter paper and place it in the media
note: i used ENDO agar for "total coliform count" and S&B media for "fecal streptococci"


put the plates in the incubator and wait for 24 hours :)

am i a racist !?

WHY ON EARTH would anybody serve someone just for his blonde skin?? i hate FAWNING !
i'm not against human traits or anything! i'm just sick and tired from what i see every day !!! i'm against humility and lack of pride ! not every AMERICAN is a genius ! not every RUSSIAN is a nuclear scientist! not every FRENCH is born with etiquette !! come on !! where is your dignity!! your pride, your self-esteem ! YOU ARE BORN WITH MINDS THAT ARE WORTH 700 OF THEIRS!!
"mind my anger" but look at how things are these days :
(1) in a restaurant, there was an Egyptian man who's "OMG" so smart in biotechnology, he was explaining something about a proposal to a project for a BRITISH guy who just didn't even BOTHER to eye-contact him and was just humming and ohing: "mmm, oh, yes, interesting,mmm, i see" and chewed his chicken platter. the egyptian guy was mostly like in a begging position although HE HAD ALL THE INFORMATION in his head !!
(2) at a presentation, a syrian scientist was explaining a GIANT PROJECT he is a consultant in, and all the audience were arabs except for one German guy who was in the team. He -the syrian- explained every detail with confidence and proficiency and he used english so this fellow would understand. after that, he wrapped up the whole thing and introduced Mr.German to take the microphone and stepped down the stage. Mr.German stood on the auditorium, talked for like 5 minutes with fragmented non-clear sentences and stopped. THE HALL WAS ON EARTHQUAKE from people's claps and all jumped to meet him, guess you would know who's business cards were taken huh ?!
(3) a business meeting at a CAFE, there as an indian man wearing a formal suit with 1000 files under his arm and 2000 on the table awaiting some guy for what so ever. he was so nervous , holding a paper and revising it more and more that he attracted my attention. i -CURSED AS ALWAYS- sat on the next table and waited for my order to arrive. "GUESS" how respectful the expectant was...? HE CAME WITH SHORTS ON !! SHORTS !! as if he's meeting a seal on a swimming pool !!!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i wanted to kill that indian guy wallah .. a big "MALAT 3ALAIK" was right at the edge to blow from my chest.
would he wear these shorts for an interview back in his country ? NAAAAH, he's just an indian huh ?

BOTTOM LINE: if you like blondes.. LIKE THEM, LOVE THEM, MEET THEM, BE FRIENDs WITH THEM BUT REMEMBER....... YOU ARE EQUAL TO THEM NOT LOWER !

ZAMZAM experiment ! part 1

Hello dearest friends ! today i will write about my little investigation "a tiny experiment" on ZAMZAM water :)

Introduction: Bacteria are microorganisms that live everywhere. in drinking water, the count of bacteria must be ZERO or it will be considered as "dangerous" and IT will certainly cause diseases to those who drink it.

my experiment aim is: to check if ZAMZAM water inhibits the growth of microorganisms or supports it. in other words: can ZAMZAM water be contaminated and become risky?

what do i need ?

sterilized tubes - bacterial culture- bunsen burner - marker - lighter - zamzam water - tap water.

Procedure:
1- 2 sterile tubes are marked using perminant marker as shown.


2- pipet 10 ml from each sample to its tube.


3- take an inoculum from the bacterial culture "i took 2 colonies"


4- inoculate each tube with the same culture.


5- incubate at 44 degrees for 24 hours "i will wait the whole weekend !"




await the results :)

Lest we suffer.. we forget

in life, we pass through painful moments; times when we tear a lot or become torn apart. times when we feel forceless and things around us just -suddenly- become black.
from time to time we feel it's the end of the world.. but the world betray us, it doesn't end or show any signs of upcoming cease and agony carries on. Just at this moment you remember to "FORGET". you appreciate the fact that your brain may not recall all the details it had previously stored in and you hope this bitter moment is put to the unwanted section of history. does that work ?
Not to me. i've been through tough moments where i had to decide when to pull the rope of my own gibbet. i faced terrifying moments , painful minutes, and very cruel seconds but i survived. And that what really mattered.
i always try to forget, but i continuously fail. maybe because everything around me reminds me of what has happened. the colors, the odor, the things i hold in hand and every single detail in my surroundings reminds me of it. i always have a moment in my day where i sit quiet for a minute and sigh.


whisper: special thanx to my friend Photographer: Ali Ali for the picture

Water Crystals tell alot ..!

For ages, we've been watching lots of Christians hanging beautiful objects on their Christmas trees. These objects represent something not all of us understand. if you are not a Christian, a scientist or a good article-reader you may not recognize these symbols and would probably refer them to Christianity. But they're not; they're just a magnification of a snowflake ! when water freezes it forms crystals and these crystals vary in shape,organization, and angles orientation depending of the surrounding factors . Quoting from (water secrets revealed): "From Mr. Emoto's work we are provided with factual evidence, that human vibrational energy, thoughts, words, ideas and music, affect the molecular structure of water, the very same water that comprises over seventy percent of a mature human body and covers the same amount of our planet. Water is the very source of all life on this planet, the quality and integrity are vitally important to all forms of life. The body is very much like a sponge and is composed of trillions of chambers called cells that hold liquid. The quality of our life is directly connected to the quality of our water" end quote. after reading this article i was flabbergasted! i went to hundreds of other articles trying to double-check on this information: is true enough to be told? if YES then it's the reason why we recite the holy Quran on water to be healed !!!! i found videos on youtube and articles in many languages and all were supporting the fact that crystals are formed in a clear defined shape if they were exposed to positive circumstances and they will "not" whenever there is a negative influence, whether it was vocal or written. if this was a FACT and facts are supposed to be true , then knowing it will change our behavior in life. since our body is made up of 70% water and water changes with surroundings then this would push us towards CAREING and DEFINING the environment we stay in. like if we gather in a good loving atmosphere or where the holy quran is recited, then this loving power will be reflected in the water of our body and subsequently introduce joy to our lives.

CONCLUSION: sit with me ALOT :P

My 26th Birthday ..

In every part of the world people gather around a table hugging and singing for one person who's celebrating his or her birthday. the very cheerful and most wonderful moment is when he or she gets to blow out the candle and his wish -supposingly- will come true. well, that is not what my birthday is like.

i thank Allah for he made me live 26 years with health and beauty.
i thank Allah for he gave me a lovely family and the best loving parents.
i thank Allah for he granted me two little angels.
i thank Allah for he gave me caring and loving friends, even when we are far apart .. we still keep an eye on each other.

may Allah help me conserve the joy he'd given me through all these 26 years

Please Pray for him

i just can't stop crying :'(

RECYCING and CHARITY !

if you open your window late at night, or early in the morning, you will find some poor Indians and Bengals wandering around trying to find a good garbage to dig. they're not looking for food, are they? actually not :) all what they're doing is simply collecting cans and glass bottles!
Companies tend to save more money by decreasing the expenses of production through recycling their products and re-use them again. they pay 10 fils for every returned can and that what makes the poor people hollow out all neighborhood garbages.
you may wonder how recycling your unwanted things would be related to charity? well , let us try to find the link with our previous story. if you practice the simplest recycling behavior i.e. separating your trash into three different baskets (glass, cans, and papers) you would help these poor workers find what they need ! you will help them remain clean, collect the cans, sell them, and get the money they wanted, BINGO :)
all what you have to do is print three words: GLASS - CANS - PAPERS and stick them where you have your baskets. May Allah reward you for every good deed .

France is interested in ISLAMIC BANK SYSTEMs

just a small proof to my "proove me wrong" article ;)

Secrets of nature !

when i was a kid, i used to ask myself: why does this animal exist? what's the purpose of this reptile or that mammal? then, after many years i studied science at school and knew the food-chain and the importance of each and every animal in this planet , however, i still get my eyes wide-open when i discover more.



Jelly fish for example. take 5 minutes to explain to me how Jelly fish is important?
1 minute
2 minutes
3 minutes
4 minutes
5 minutes

did you figure it out ? read this and i bet you would say SUBHAN ALLAH very loud when i'm done.

scientists in an american university performed a very simple experiment on a pond somewhere in USA , this pond was full of Jelly fish and what they did is they put some drops of green non-toxic dye in the pond and waited for sometime. the Jellyfish moved upwords and downwords in a harmony, moving volumes of water many times double their weight, spreading the color in a lovely homogeneous way and THEN it became a green pond !

you may wonder: ok ? why is that so shocking ?

the answer is: by this motion, jellyfish maintain the temperature of the water and mix up tons of food-containing-water from different levels of the sea giving more chance to smaller fish to get its diet. Moreover, this process keeps oxygen and carbon dioxide ratio stable and help all fish get their oxygen demand !

OUT LOUD: sub7an allah !

Conspiracy and Misinterpretation of symbols

There is a spreading disease , more pandemic than the swine flu, and its killing thousands of people without microorganisms' involvement. it is the "Fake Conspiracy".
while googling or youtubeing, you pass over hundreds of threads and articles about how non-muslims are implanting symbols and pictures in our t-shirts, reastaurants, movies, computers, ..etc that serve anti-islamic figures. every tiny fight is a conspiracy, every simple triangle is zionist , every protest is because of USA, and every chaos is alQaeda's ! sit back and relax! i know there might be some attempts to interfere politically in our countries and there might be some hatred amongst other religions and ours BUT it's not always a conspiracy! we really look stupid, as we talk and try to convince others that we are continuously under attack ... as if there is NO OTHER ISSUE but to destroy us. please please please READ about symbology, READ about history, believe in photoshop and manipulations because not all things are what they appear to be.

"Prove me wrong"

Islam is the one and only thing in the whole universe that holds no mistakes , not even a single one. it is a perfectly balanced system of life that answers every question and explains every misunderstanding whether it was scientific, social, economic or even political. no wonder, it is the word of ALLAH the creator of all. this may not be an authentic statement to those who are not muslims, and because of that i can only ask them to "prove me wrong".
i have been discussing the islam-christianity issue - debating actually- with muslims and non muslims since 2005 and in a 4-years practice i concluded that the best way to invite people to islam is by "explaining islam" not "disproving christianity". DO NOT put their religion on a test, because you will find yourself in a big puzzle trying to find pieces that do not exist ! all what you need to start with is the sentence that sheikh Yusuf Estes is famous for: "thank you for asking me about my religion" and then start explaining.
however, inspite of blindly knowing that islam is the true faith, it is not safe to start a debate with any christian -not even a child- when you're not fully aware of every aspect of islam. there are lots of verses and prophet sayings that are related to their story of revelation so it's never possible to explain these verses without knowing back the history of the incident when it was first brought to humanity.

Déjà vu ... and the 7 worlds !

Déjà vu or promnesia, is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (definition quoted from wikipedia). like when you see a car crash or a conversation at your office and you wonder: "did i see this before or what ?!"
i've been through this plenty of times and i became interested in this issue ever since. the scientific and the religion-based interpretations to this phenomenon vary: people just dream about it , people forsee the future when their souls ascend to heaven every night, error in transferring the signal to the brain by which the incident that has been just seen becomes a history rather than a new data, or people go through their life details while they're in the fetus-stage inside their mother's wombs. none of this was mentioned in the holy book of islam or explained by the prophet peace be upon him thus it's not necessarily true. however, what really caught my attention is the "7 worlds" explanation . it claims that every person goes through 7 stages of creation and on each stage he observes and sees thing that will happen to him later in life, the 7 worlds "in order":
(1) the world of spirits and shadows: where souls await the physical body to be created.
(2) the world of atoms: where the physical part of the human body is not yet defined and it's spread in nowhere as massive atoms waiting to be united.
(3) the world of loins: were atoms unite to become sperms
(4) the world of wombs: where sperms and eggs unite and initiate the prenatal development.
(5) our world: where humans are born and become alive
(6) the world of Partition and twilight: where the bodies are dead and the souls await the day of judgement.
(7) the world of doomsday: where its either heaven or hell !

it has been explained that every entity fears the idea of transfering to the next world... babies cry when they're born because they are scared from leaving the world of wombs, we fear death, and dead people fear the day of judgment.

interesting huh ? i wish to see ur comments on that !

Fast Forward !

Whenever i see a mobile phone or a laptop, i sigh. Would i be lucky enough to enjoy its unique features before it's already old-fashioned?
Designer clothings, bags, laptops, automobiles, and even food are now involoved in what is called (the race of technology) which is actually "exclusiveness vs. time" in other terms. Products are being launched to markets in no time, leaving every fashion-follower on the alert to get whatever is released before anyone else does. Sometimes it's necessary, since it has a major shift to people's way of life like the internet, the cars and airplanes. But when it comes to fashion designers i can't really figure out the reason behind having two or more seasons of fashion releases in one year.
Rationally speaking: If the products were affordable and had met the best quality standards, then it is ethical to value the financial worth of it and give it some good time to rust! Junk zones vanished, because all the wastes of people are brand new and easily recyclable! My only concern is: Where is this taking us? the middle-waged people and those who could not afford to follow the new technology will be nothing but techno-illiterates with time and become unwillingly premitive. In biology, we call it the "Natural Selection". the organisms that adapt to rapid changes in nature are the ones who survive it, where those who cannot change or accept the change in some way will simply extinct!
For me, i follow whatever broadens my scope and keeps me updated. this would draw me a mature perspective to live and raise my children in an advanced, up to date environment. the eager to be the so-UNIQUE girl was never in my list and i think it is fading among people and will approach to zero point once they realize it is a non-stopping journey in a dead-end path.
It will go this way to the eternity !

SKY DIVING !

I DID IT ! i really did it :-D
it was something i have never imagined! something outstanding and out of any sane-attitude.
Being weightless is a feeling i have never thought of being through, not untill my last trip to Australia 2009. when i first checked in at the hotel, the only object that attracted my attention was a little red brochure with a dead-screaming guy pic looking straight to my eyes as if was calling me : COME ON.. TRY IT ! i got extremely excited and by flipping the idea in my mind "why not?" i took the decision of becoming awkward for one day "which apparently was not true because i stayed awkwardly insane for 15 more days lol" i came back to reality and remembered that it's not totally my call :\ i have to have the permission of Mr.Hamad (my beloved most caring scaring husband) , i frowned .
he wouldn't let me .. i know it .. blindly knew that i was going to beg him for like 20 years ... but , surprisingly, he just nodded and agreed @@
i was over the moon , like i was really falling right away hehe
i booked for thursday because it was the only day women riders dive, i couldnt wait any longer. on the big day i couldnt sleep, i got dressed at 5 in the morning waiting for the bus to arrive. once we were there i had the instructors teaching me of how to jump. i had all the prayers memorized and recited once the plane took off :P
10 minutes later, the door opened, and the guy i hired to tape the whole event hung like a monkey from the door. 3,2,1 .. JUMP ... AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH "do you feel what i felt? lol "
AAAA
AAAAA
AAAAAA
AAAAAAA
AAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH !!
i felt the cotton clouds , not cottony at all ....lol
60 seconds of free-falling then BUMMM the parachute opened... i started looking at the great scenary and views of Bayron Bay..slow descending, although it was freezing up there, i enjoyed every fraction of a second of it... and 5 minutes later it's all done :-)

i really REALLY... recommend it..!

Do we really need شرطة آداب ?? (episode3: THE WORSE-UP)

I should've written "the MAKE-UP" but it's not how i see it actually. Quoting from the most famous electronic encyclopedia: Cosmetics ( pronunciation: cosmetic (help·info)) are substances used to enhance or protect the appearance or odor of the human body (wikipedia).

Let's focus on the verb "enhance" and the term "Apperance" and try to relate those two words with what we see on the streets. do you think cosmetics are being used correctly? Hehehe all what i see is: moving "JOKERS"... honestly, moving "RAINBOWS" :/

do you know the meanings of cosmetic terms? try some: (make up = fix) (conceal= cover) (foundation= initiative or basic layer) so the poping question here would be: are you that ugly ? :D do you really need to fix, cover and color your face with cosmetics? and propably add colored contact lenses , artificial eyelashes, and lots of sparkling powder? offfff a whole new you @_@ i suggest we turn the name from MAKE-UP to MASK-UP hehehe be confident dear !

anyway .. i think every girl should start caring about how she fixes her skin from its defects naturally .. i have some tips to be more beautiful which i would like to share with you :
(1) wash your face with baby johnson's kids shampoo (the yellow one) because it's chemical free.
(2) sleep well (min. 8 hours)
(3) put some fresh cucumbers over the dark spots around your eyes (statistics show that every 9 out of ten have these dark areas :/ )
(4) DO NOT sleep with traces of make-up on your face
(5) always smile :) because the real beauty is when someone loves to see your face;)

whisper: i need to go with these tips too LOL

Do we really need شرطة آداب ?? (episode2: MOVING TRASH)

here i grumble again ...hehe
I want to talk about the NEW TECHNOLOGY of throwing cans and papers out of the window while driving ! i get sick of this scenery every single day ! everytime it happens i press the horn BEEEEEEEEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP meaning: HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING !! but it's not working !
they've turned kuwait to a filthy dirty place "although colourful" yet not clean!
What kills me the most is when a child opens the window, throws his leftovers and his parents handle him theirs too ! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i wish my mercedes was designed to have built-in machine guns and canons.
Instead of pressing charges against these careless civilians, the government hires millions of yellow uniformed bengalis and leave them on the streets for decades without salaries.. two months later, they turn to yellow skinned protesters demanding their human rights and kuwait jumps to the top of the black list ! "the only top 5 positition Kuwait ever gets"

Conclustion: a piece of kit kat paper may lead to world war3 so keep an extra plastic bag in your car for what ever is left !

Do we really need شرطة آداب ?? (episode1: BAD WORDS)

First and foremost, i wrote the headline in both arabic and english because that's how it's done these days!... whether they make sense or not, kuwaiti youths implant (and i say "implant" not "use" because they unnecessarily put english words into the sentence) just to sound cool or educated. Well, hard luck, you sound nothing but a grade 7 english learning CD.
I like english , i even had my minor degree in English translation.. but ...not only do i use the proper english, but i also respect and love my mother toungue ARABIC so i use either of them, not BOTH simultaneously.
Anyway, back to the topic, Do we really need to have an Ethical law enforcement? is it SO HARD to control our actions? to act, look, and talk ethically? or to have our tounges on-check at all times? i don't think it is hard at all!
WHY do we hear people saying F words? or shouting out (SH*T) when they hate something? does your pocket dictionary mention how bad these words are ?! if it doesn't then i hope you'd sneak out at night, when everybody is sleeping, and try to google these words to understand how stupid you look when you say them.
One of the most interesting cases that i've experienced is when a woman in her mid 40s shouted out "B**CH" on a McDonald's tiny pinky winky philipino cashier because she had her cheeseburger served a chicken burger!
Just at this moment i felt the benifit out of censoring the DVDs.. these words were not collected from higher education books, but gained from those non-censored movies outside every supermarket around midnight.
To wrap up, i really advise all those who feel americanized in some way: DO NOT EXHUME THE GARBAGE PLEASE, IT STINKS ! use proper english or NONE.

thanx
