السلام عليكم
Subhanallaah, I've not written here for almost a whole year!! I've neglected this blog for many months, and I was just checking my stats. I got quite a few page views yesterday, and last month was... 126. And I haven't visited this blog in about two months now. I wasn't that busy, but I was busy enough. A toddler who still loves obstacle courses and wants to play every minute is enough to make up for triplets. I wish there was two of me. Then maybe Ramlah would be good.
In September, I turned eleven, so that means I'm TOTALLY eleven! If you've been reading my blog for a while, you would know I was born in Ramadhaan 10th, so, yes. Ramadhaan in 2018 is over, and alhamdulillaah, September is over too!
Ramlah is two and a half. We're just trying to get started potty-training her, but due to a haphazard schedule we weren't able to get her to start it.
I am also on a new email, which has 'baker' in it, and if you take notice of it yes, I'm baking and cooking now Alhamdulillaah.
My best friend says I've changed, and yes, I guess I've changed by now. You might have thought so, because I think my style of writing is better now.
My computer also broke down some months ago, so I've lost many of my books, and a special one. It's the Flighty Fox book. I remember telling you this long time ago.
Reviewing the first year I got my blog:
I still remember when Abi made a site for Ummi, and about a week later I asked Ummi if Abi would make me a site for myself. I think she asked me 'What for?' and I said, "To write stuff." Well, I didn't exactly say that, but at least it was close to what I said. So, upon hearing that, she said, "Well, you can make one on Blogger, like my blog." I was thrilled, because I didn't know at that time what exactly it was to make a site.
I made the site at about Magrib, Friday, April 15th, 2016. Two years ago, and it's going to be the third year.
You can see my very first ever on-my-own-site post here. But that is not my first post on a site. I did some Blog Takeovers when Ummi was pregnant with Ramlah, and she approved of them and posted them. I did about six, just ignore the first post you see. Click here.
The VERY first post is this, click here. I was eight years old at that time! I can't imagine it! I wrote it on Tuesday, 15 December 2015, I can't remember what time but I know it was in the night. Three years ago!
I actually got my blog a week and a day after the 7th of April.
Looking back on the Blog Takeover series, I can't imagine I made only about six spelling mistakes on each post, haha.
Subhanallaah, is that really me? I look so small, and it's not because of the vastness of the dunes! I was eight years old then.
Coming back to the subject of my own blog, I notice as the years unfold, less and less spelling mistakes follow up. Even if I don't edit this, I would get only about two spelling mistakes in total. The secret to not wasting your time on editing is, when you see a mistake the word before what you write, you need to BACKSPACE and correct it. Don't waste time moving your mouse in slo-mo.
Looking on my second post 'What I Do In My Spare Time', I also notice I have been waiting for three winters for it to snow! This winter, we almost got flooded out, what has never happened in Qatar. There has been many damages to life and property, and some people lost many, many things! Subhanallaah, we can only ask Allaah to protect us.
I made a poem and put it up. I actually copied Part 2, I really don't think I could write a poem like that.
And here I wrote my first really successful story, the first of the 'Fury' series. More poems...
Alhamdulillaah, I think that's enough to write for today. Oh, I almost forgot, Ummi signed me up for a Sewing Camp program. I rate it 9/10, because for the extra '1' I don't know the next thing they will put up, and it's NOT boring! I learnt to embroider my name, and I'm going to get a sewing machine, inshaa Allaah. I'm also waiting for my badge to arrive in the mail.
Actually the registration is closed for now, but they will reopen later inshaa Allaah. You can join the waiting list!
Also if you do have any good ideas how to keep a toddler entertained, without becoming messy, you know, just comment with all your ideas! She's a touch-and-feel-it-all, so I've tried obstacle courses, football, Blokus, and the like.
Maybe later this year I will do a Companion's Quest Quiz, so stay tuned! Winners can do a guest post - a poem or whatever you want. But it all depends if you can enter, if you do enter anyhow, if it's for fun or to test your learning, I'll go ahead! Please give me a comment with your opinion (continue or not). You can comment as Anonymous, but on only ONE rule. You must verify with your email address.
Let's see how the site stats grown NOW, inshaa Allaah!
السلام عليكم
Maimoonah
