  I'm Sick as Hell and Eid-Ul-Adha.....[RECOMMENDED FOR MY MUSLIM FRIENDS]

  I'm SICK
  

  
  Well Guys from past 5 or 6 days, I'm really really sick, I'm having fever, Cold, Flu and Sore throat problems. Throat problems are annoying, Last Night I wasn't able to sleep all night due to sickness, Till Today morning I wasn't even able to talk properly without pain but Now I'm a little better and at least I can talk properly and the excruciating pain is a lot lessened.
  
  
  So this means for now I'm having Spicless food and majorly Soups and Milk e.t.c, You know what kind of useless food. Due to sickness I'm in bed and I don't have to work with brother, sister & mother in effort to clean the house for upcoming Eid-ul-Adha (Which is today Nov 27), It's a grand kind of cleaning.
  
  
  

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Eid-Ul-ADHA
  

  
  [NOTE = I know many of you aren't Muslims but It's one healthy informatrion to note, So if anyone ever says Eid-ul-Adha or Eid-ul-Azha in front of you, You know what does it mean]
  
  

  What is Eid-Ul-Adha?

  Eid al-Adha "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is a holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.

  OR

  At the end of the Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), Muslims throughout the world celebrate the holiday of Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice). In 2009, Eid al-Adha will begin on approximately November 27th.

  
  
  Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran. Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khutba).
  
  Eid al-Adha annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja of the lunar Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country. Eid al-Adha occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. It happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan (or Eid-al-Fitar).
  
  
  

  What does Eid al-Adha commemorate?

  During the Hajj, Muslims remember and commemorate the trials and triumphs of the Prophet Abraham. The Quran describes Abraham as follows:
  
  "Surely Abraham was an example, obedient to Allah, by nature upright, and he was not of the polytheists. He was grateful for Our bounties. We chose him and guided him unto a right path. We gave him good in this world, and in the next he will most surely be among the righteous." (Quran)
  
  One of Abraham's main trials was to face the command of Allah to kill his only son. Upon hearing this command, he prepared to submit to Allah's will. When he was all prepared to do it, Allah revealed to him that his "sacrifice" had already been fulfilled. He had shown that his love for his Lord superceded all others, that he would lay down his own life or the lives of those dear to him in order to submit to God.
  
  
  

  Why do Muslims sacrifice an animal on this day?

  During the celebration of Eid al-Adha, Muslims commemorate and remember Abraham's trials, by themselves slaughtering an animal such as a sheep, camel, or goat. This action is very often misunderstood by those outside the faith.
  
  Allah has given us power over animals and allowed us to eat meat, but only if we pronounce His name at the solemn act of taking life. Muslims slaughter animals in the same way throughout the year. By saying the name of Allah at the time of slaughter, we are reminded that life is sacred.
  
  The meat from the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha is mostly given away to others. One-third is eaten by immediate family and relatives, one-third is given away to friends, and one-third is donated to the poor. The act symbolizes our willingness to give up things that are of benefit to us or close to our hearts, in order to follow Allah's commands. It also symbolizes our willingness to give up some of our own bounties, in order to strengthen ties of friendship and help those who are in need. We recognize that all blessings come from Allah, and we should open our hearts and share with others.
  
  It is very important to understand that the sacrifice itself, as practiced by Muslims, has nothing to do with atoning for our sins or using the blood to wash ourselves from sin. This is a misunderstanding by those of previous generations: "It is not their meat nor their blood that reaches Allah; it is your piety that reaches Him." (Quran)
  
  The symbolism is in the attitude - a willingness to make sacrifices in our lives in order to stay on the Straight Path. Each of us makes small sacrifices, giving up things that are fun or important to us. A true Muslim, one who submits his or herself completely to the Lord, is willing to follow Allah's commands completely and obediently. It is this strength of heart, purity in faith, and willing obedience that our Lord desires from us.
  
  
  

  What else do Muslims do to celebrate the holiday?

  On the first morning of Eid al-Adha, Muslims around the world attend morning prayers at their local mosques. Prayers are followed by visits with family and friends, and the exchange of greetings and gifts. At some point, members of the family will visit a local farm or otherwise will make arrangements for the slaughter of an animal. The meat is distributed during the days of the holiday or shortly thereafter.

  Eid Mubarak to all my Muslim friends, Have fun and eat awesome foods, Hope you have one awesome Eid , I've something foyou

  I left the tuition academy, Although I lost one money source but still It's good, I'm saving some time. I did it so I can give more time to the Internet and Gaming except for that the usual College and Gaming .

  Movies I Watched
  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  I watched some movies in October but only a few are worth mentioning.
  

  
  

  

  
  

  Music and Lyrics is a 2007 American romantic comedy film. It focuses on the relationship that evolves between a former pop music idol (of the fictional band POP!) and an aspiring writer as they struggle to compose a song for the reigning pop diva.

  I really enjoyed the movie and I'll say If you like romantic comedies, You should give it a try. It's very entertaining and the 80's theme makes the movie really enjoyable and fun.

  RATING = 8 out of 10

  *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  

  Phone Booth is a 2002 morality thriller about a man who is held hostage in a telephone booth by a sniper. If you like thriller movies, It's a must watch.

  RATING = 8 out of 10
  

  *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  
  

  

  Ever After: A Cinderella Story is a 1998 film adaptation of the fairy tale Cinderella, The usual pantomime and comic elements are removed and the story is instead treated as historical fiction. It is often seen as a modern, post-feminism myth: interpretation of the Cinderella.

  I love fairytale movies and I thoroughly enjoyed it, It's a must see if you like magical tales.

  RATING = 10 out of 10

  *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

  
  

  

  Taken is a 2008 French action thriller film starring Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen, and Maggie Grace. Neeson plays a former Central Intelligence Agency paramilitary operative who sets about tracking down his teenage daughter after she is kidnapped by slave traders while traveling in Europe.

  Storywise Taken has a lot of loop holes but If you turn your mind off and Watch Taken, Taken can be an extremely fun and entertaining. The moves the hero does in film are really brutal and are like the upcoming Splinter Conviction.

  RATING = 7 out of 10

  My All Time Pending Games List [Part 2 of 2]........

  Welcome to my all time pending games blog Part 2, I completed working on this a month ago and posted its First part on 10th of November. Still the ones who don't know what it is, It is a blog of my all time Pending games (As the title states) The idea of making this blog came from my chatting with David on MSN approximately 2 months ago. We both decided that We'll make a list of all time pending or left games, Mine has been finally completed, don't know about his

  [AS PREVIOUS BLOG]

  
  

  I wouldn't lie, This blog took me a lot of time, Yep a lot. I didn't wanted to miss any game, So I went through years of release dates of games and some discussion with my brother & cousin, Searched a lot here and there and finally came up with the ultimate list , It was tough and mostly I did it for myself cause I wanted to know that how many games I've pending or left

  
  

  Usually I'm one of those who doesn't leaves a game, How terrible it is or how hard it is, It's my first priority to end it, Sometimes I also lost save data's of games, So I started from beginning. I don't like games being left

  
  

  A game to qualify as pending status must have been from 5th Generation to 7th (Current) Generation and should have been completed at least 15% because sometimes we play a game, Don't like it and throw it away, Those aren't pending in my opinion that's only trying, So enough of my crap let's begin with the list

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I've Covered 9 titles in previous blog and I'll cover 9 more in this part.

  [NOTE = There is a total of 18 pending games in this list and from them 2 have been beaten, So only 16 left]

  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = DS

  REASON OF LEAVING = This is one of those games for which I bought DS, I was far ahead in the game and I had completed 112 out of 112 Puzzles until that time, Oh and the worst thing that can happen to a gamer happened to me, I lost my Save Data, I know I can play it again but wouldn't it be cheating, I'll obtain too much hint coins.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = May Be, I'm not sure. I may play it & I may not.
  

  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = DS

  REASON OF LEAVING = This is one of those games for which I bought DS or can I say this was the major reason for what I bought DS. I'm not saying its a bad game, I'm only saying that it has some flaws. The Clunky controls of the game were really annoying and I just hated those and this is not only the reason why I left this game, Second reason is my English Vocabulary; It is not that strong, Sometimes I know what I want but I don't know the word.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = No, At least not now because I'm having a lot of trouble with vocabulary.
  

  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PS

  REASON OF LEAVING = Well simply you couldnt end this game, There is no story mode, Only tons and tons of challenges but I didn't even unlocked all the challenges, So I'll count it as incomplete. I think I had completed almost 60% as I recall.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = No not at all, Only If I get mad and start playing it on my PSP
  

  

  
  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PC

  REASON OF LEAVING = Well I started playing it after ending Max Payne 2, So I was never into the game and I dont know why but I just left the game.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = May be, Not sure but 80% NO and 20% YES.
  

  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PC

  REASON OF LEAVING = Well I left it long long time ago, I think it was 2006. I didn't played games on PC those days and I didn't like RPGs at all those days.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = Well I always want to give this game a retry but I never get enough time or I don't have enough patience

  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PS2

  REASON OF LEAVING = My Save data got corrupted.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = Yep I may play it some day.
  

  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PS2

  REASON OF LEAVING = I sold my PS2.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = No as I no longer have a PS2 and the game is not available on PC nor has been ported to handhelds.
  

  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PS2

  REASON OF LEAVING = I sold my PS2.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = Yep I'll beat it soon, The game has been ported to PSP and is almost same game with extra features also and lesser resolution. So this means ending game on PSP will also count as ended , Im currently playing it.

  

  [DOUBTFUL]

  NOTE = I'm not sure that whether I ended this game or not, I think I had ended it but brother says that I didn't, I was stuck at last level. As I recall I was in last level in medium difficulty and I started the game in Hard, I was in 5th or 6th level in Hard difficulty when the brother changed the game (As I recall), Now I don't remember that did I beat the game in medium or not But I'm counting it as Pending because my Ended games list doesn't has its name.
  

  PLATFORM ON WHICH LEFT = PS2

  REASON OF LEAVING = Brother exchanged the game without asking me.
  

  POSSIBILITY OF PLAYING AGAIN = As the game ain't released on PC and I do not have a PS2, So I'm quite sure that I cant play this game.
  

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  UPDATES

  • Guys nowadays I'm having a huge problem, Someone has arrived in my house to live with us (In our brothers room) for at least a month and can stay till 3 months, That person has totally spoiled my time on PC and has taken over my TV and has done a lot of more stuff too. He is my cousin from another city on his vacations. So I'm still trying to adjust things with him. Hope things will get good soon but due to all this I'm addicted to my PSP, That's all for now .
