About 8 days now..


Ramadan's almost done. Just another 8 or so days left and then it's Eid. Whee!

University is really really pathetic. Whoop de frickin doo.

The folks and brother traveled to Abu Dhabi today, so was nice and quiet at home. Got to catch up on sleep and all that. Played some more DMC4.

I need to drink more water.

I want to read Khalid Hosseini's The Kite Runner again. I love that book. You know what I realize? When you read a 'thinner' book than one of the paperback bestsellers, you feel more like an elitist than you do with one of the paperbacks. I mean everyone reads John Grisham or Robert Ludlum ( <3 style="font-style: italic;">Iftar
parties have gotten fewer or the Eid visits have reduced. Or maybe it's just not as magical as it used to be when I was a kid. I dunno, does anyone else feel that way too? I just feel like our festivals and shit were a whole lot more festival-esque when I was younger, or at least, a few years ago. Now it's just *frrrrt*...


Argh. I want GOW2 :(

You know - you are right about the ramadan and eid not being "fun" anymore. This year, only for the second time in the last 10 years, will I be at home for eid (i.e. when eid has fallen during the working week). Visiting doesn't seem fun anymore, and too many people have lost the ssence of eid. It's no longer about the families getting together, and more often than not it is all about competing in who wore better clothes and who cooked the better food.... it's just not about families anymore.

Less spirituality surrounding the month. That's what it is.

I mean, remember when it was a big deal to not eat in front of people who were fasting? Doesn't happen anymore (not that it's a bad thing).
Remember when we'd keep an ear out for the cannon and then the azan? What cannon and now I consider myself lucky to even HEAR the azan outside.
It's a month of Ramadan sales (when you're SUPPOSED to be giving Zakat to the poor), binging, extreme dieting, and so on.

The true essence of the month is lost.

I blame good old "conjumerism."

I agree with y'all.

@ mars:

I never believed in any Eidy Bunny. We just got eidi.. You poor poor, deprived child...
