The time has come again, where for a month, all Muslims all over the world will abstain from food, water and all forms of worldly pleasures.
Ramadhan is here again and yes, I'm revelling in the fact that it's also an instant 30-day diet plan that usually works wonders...that is, until Ramadhan's over and you gain back the 2kg you lost PLUS another extra 3kg from all the good Eid food.
Like, the hardest thing for me during Ramadhan each year is not so much the not eating part and neither is it the not drinking part. It's the NO COFFEE part.
*Groans*
It's a battle each day for 30 days I tell ya...it sucks being a coffee incinerator so here's to hoping that the withdrawal symptoms won't be too bad this year..
Hahaa...but in all seriousness though, it's a month of ponderence, a month of extreme repentence (cause, really, we should be repenting for our sins everyday), a month of humility and a month of patience and virtue.
So to all Muslims, near and far, Happy Ramadhan! May all our prayers be blessed this year.
And you know how we're supposed to be abstaining from worldly pleasures during the fasting month?
Yeah, let's take a look see at my tv schedule for this month.
Sept 1 - Gossip Girl
Sept 2 - 90210
Spet 16 - House
And this is after cutting down on ALL the other shows...I'm so screwed.
