how??

Salam...

How do you advise people?Or to be exact,your peers?.
Do you know how hard it is to do so but then of course,it's not impossible,right?

Well,well,well...that's what I've been asking myself all this time.I admit that I have a hard time to advise or confront people when there's problem.
Especially on coughlovecough.Blame it on my lack of social experience.

It especially gets reeaaaallly awkward if someon
e were to ask my opinion on the topic of love.I mean,the 'love' which equals to the quest of finding your soulmate.Uh,I don't have a clue on that.Truly,I don't feel the need of having and longing to find your soulmate every now and then.Allah s.w.t has promised us on that,right?So,what's with the rush?

And,this is a thought to be pondered upon by you and me.What of the love towards our Creator?Are we simply dismissing this love(which I believe,is the greatest love of all) as something not worth to be longed for?Do we love Him like we're supposed to?I do respect those who love each other because of Allah though.But,how to know that the love that we have towards each other is because of Him?Hmm...please give me some enlightenment.Frankly,I do not know.

Back to my main question.How to say it out loud--I mean,how to advise or to bring an understanding of this kind of love to my peers?It always have been a problem to me.I really don't know how to make them understand because I don't understand their version of 'love' either.Of course,unless if they are reading my blog.

Agagaga...anyone??I need your opinions or thoughts on this matter.Jeez,I feel kind of ashamed and stupid for asking this kind of question.*rubs the back of head*
But,if I do not ask now,I doubt that I'll ever understand and know how to tackle this kind of problem.


p/s : the unconscious mind has taken over me while I'm writing/typing the post.and NO,I'm not interested in any other kind of love except for the love for my Creator,parents,family and friends...=)

PSY 105

Officially finished the syllabus today.
INTERESTING.FUN.MIND-BOGGLING....not.

Wow,I just can't believe it!
I really really really like psycho.I'm amazed by it.

So many theories,therapies,disorders and etc that I've learnt.
Microsleep,narcolepsy,conditioning,Freud,Erikson,Maslow,Rogers,OCD,
hypochondriasis,dissociative personality disorder and aah,REBT.

REBT.One of the most successful therapies used by therapist today to treat patients.
Objective  : to help clients to dispute their own irrational beliefs with more rational, helpful statements.
Mechanism : three types of acceptance approach;unconditional self-acceptance, unconditional other-acceptance and unconditional life-acceptance.

Unconditional self-acceptance approach really moved me.It relates with the teachings in Islam on equality among human beings.

Islam is a universal religion.It does not condone with the act of discriminating others just because of the different social status that we have.
Thus,we have no right at all to claim that we are more or less better than anyone else in this world.
This reminds me of this Baba Ali video,The Reminder:Season 2.




Allah s.w.t is the only one who have the right to be judgmental of us because as I've said before,He knows everything. 

I am really happy that I am able to understand this world better with the new knowledge of psychology that Allah's given to me.Alhamdulillah...=)

p/s: wishing all the best for my friends for the finals.
        pray for my success in the final exam too.o-kay...study mode,ON!

l learn that...

It is not going to end anytime soon because you learn new things every single day.No,I'm not going to write an essay about learning here.That'd be boooring,eh?

I like it when I get to learn about new things especially languages.It doesn't matter really what or how much I've learnt about it.The beauty of languages,spoken by human kinds keeps reminding me that Allah s.w.t creates us of different colors,tribes and nations and yet,we are equal in the eyes of Him.Apart from that,it always intrigues me of how much knowledge I've yet to know.To think of it,Allah s.w.t knows EVERYTHING.MasyaAllah,that's really amazing!!It just shows you that we,humans are incomparable to Him...

Somehow,I miss my chem teacher in secondary school.She's really inspiring!!Actually,I am inspired by her to pursue my studies in Nutrition.I really miss the feeling of liking to listen what she feels about chemicals in food everytime she taught us chemistry in class.But,the feeling of determination that I had before has gone.I have forgotten how I used to be so confident that someday,I'll become a nutritionist.It is saddening that I have to consider the option of taking Dietetics.I really don't want to do it.It just doesn't feel right.The word 'diet' too doesn't sound good to me too.I'm not someone who like dieting anyway...=(

Aaah,I want to be a nutritionist!!I really want to.It's just that my course advisor asks me to consider taking dietetics instead of nutrition.Uh huh,I need to be wise in making my decision..*nods head continuously*

Faith!!That's the main thing here.Yep,I do have faith with what Allah's decided for me.InshaAllah,the future that lies ahead is going to be the best for me...=) 


What is your nutritional value again?
Err..that's how a nutritionist should look at food,right??


p/s : Al-Hujuraat (49:7), the verse of the week(for me lah).Thanks,my naqibahs!!

Of Personality...

Salam...
We talked about different personalities that human possess during usrah session on Wednesday night.It is amazing how Allah creates His creations uniquely with the personality that each and everyone of us have in ourselves.I never really thought about this before until my naqibah told us about it.It's really wonderful indeed.

So,I did the personality/temperament test.It's not surprising that I get such result.I don't think anyone who already took the test feel surprised at all.The description that I got here is quite accurate,I think.

Allah s.w.t creates us with minute details that is unthinkable of us.Really!!!The personalities that we possess are very well-balanced.We do have both strengths and weaknesses in ourselves.Like what my naqibah said,different personalities in humans help them to complete one another.Yeah,I believe in that too!!!
