Indeed 2005 was a sad year for many of us, In pakistan thousands lost tier lives and hundrad of thousands still fighting thier battle for survival with bitter cold and poor living conditions. I myself lost a loved one and sum1 very dear to me (not in quake).
On the other hand I gained some satisfaction while I was on relief work in Pakistan for a week, I dun think anything can come closer to the 1st hand experience of witnessing misry and helplessness of humen in such a large scale.
How was ur 2005? have you done anything worthy of remeberance or it was just another year lost?
year 2005 was the first year that I ever left home.Went far away that I never imagined myself to be. I lost the joy of living at home with my family. I lost the happiness to share with my family on eids and ramadan. I lost good food.
But then with that experience I gained the confident that was hidden inside me and brought out my ultra cookin style
Well, I lost my father-in-law after a year-long battle with stomach cancer.
I gained more respect and knowledge of my deen and Inshallah this will continue in the years to come.
Lost: So many lives in Pakistan's Earthquake; respect for certain people and certain groups; my old hole aka home; and a whole lot of clutter from my room when I cleaned it out recently.
Gained: Lots of holiday prezzies, 120 little bundles of joy, some new life experiences, some new work experiences, a great deal of wisdom on how to deal with "politics", knowledge on the "ignore" button on GS, a piece of paper that is supposedly worth enough to take me someplace in life..., a new future, and someone worthy of my respect.
there they told me 2 go 2 the police..
