Here are the situations where #ABUDEN is used:

Oh hai
It's that guy
Built so fly in a silk bow tie
Don't know why
He built so fly
But he is no lie
Oh my

Witness this video that went viral:

Beza orang fikiran sempit dan orang fikiran luas

Wow! I sure do learn my lesson not comment on Blog Serius anymore.

Why?

#1 You have different perspective in religion, you are automatically kafir.

#2 Anons will say that your private parts stinks (sickos!)

#3 They kafirkan you without you yourself kafirkan yourself. Wow! Pseudo fortune teller.

#4 Emotion. Drama. Emotion. Drama. Need I say more?

#5 Besides religion, if you have different opinions, you'll get insulted/banged/degraded/threatened

#6 You'll be more driven to the brink of insanity, suicide and stuff.

#7 Amboi, Minat K-Pop pun salah! Takde modal nak kutuk aku, kutuk pasal K-Pop lah ye. Takpelah. Korang baru tau yang aku ni dah tak layan K-Pop sangat.

#8 Boy, I miss LJ where people discuss matters academically.

A Maulidur Rasul entry

Yesterday was the 12th Rabiulawal 1433. You guys know what that means?

That's right! Prophet Muhammad PBUH (Peace Be Upon Him) was born.

Normally, in here we celebrate by conducting a procession while praying and making selawats for the Prophet (PBUH). Well, at least that's what schools and workplaces are conducting. It is a holiday after all.

Personally, instead of procession, why don't we remind each other to do good deeds to mankind? I'm sure the Prophet (PBUH) would be happy for us. Plus, no good deeds go unrewarded if you know what I mean.

Actually, good deeds can be done everyday regardless of holiday or no holiday. It can be something a simple as throwing a trash in the trash can or something else such as studying, do chores and the like.


Title : One Day
Artist: Matisyahu



What would you say to the Prophet (PBUH) if you get to sit with him for one minute?

Other than assalamualaikum, what comes next is really difficult. I might cry like the girl in the video because it is the Prophet (PBUH) we're talking about. It's every Muslims' dream to be with him. I think not only it's overwhelming thinking about it but it's actually pretty cool. Of course, I have to choose my words carefully. Being rude and explicit is a big no-no. Seriously, I don't know what to say other than giving salam to him. I might cry. Well, I almost cried watching that video which I muted it knowing that if I turned up the volume, I would cry more than I cried during the time Elphaba sang Defying Gravity in the Wicked the Musical.

To end this entry, I would like to wish Happy holidays and Happy Maulidur Rasul to all ^_^

Love

Love is a psychosis trigger
It makes you go crazier
And crazier each day
It's an addictive poison
That makes you crave more and more
Until it's all that you think about

Love makes your heartbeat faster
Your blood pressure higher
It makes you feel that
You're running in a marathon
That never seems to end
Yikes!

Love makes you hate
It makes you berate
Yourself for being so foolish enough
To get involved in this vicious cycle
Of courtship, partnership and heartbreaks
Again and again

Love is damn mean
Leaves you messes to clean
Up because everybody tends to play it dirty
By toying with each other hearts and souls
Making us feel like it's a battle between the humans and the demons
In some alternate reality fantasy game

That my friend is lust
Nothing but just
Feelings of sexual excitement due to
Intimacy between two or more individuals
With feelings of so-called love and passion
Which is actually an illusion of the bored lonely mind

Love is confusing
You keep thinking
And thinking until your mind went through
A blackout causing you to feel numb
And eventually surrender to a demon
Called love.

This is my take on love. I had to admit, some parts (or all) are kinds dodgy and messy. I apologize for that. I'm currently experimenting here. Hope to post more poems soon.

By the way.....



This guy inspires me to write the poem. His name is George Watsky.

I will upload an entry about him soon, so stay tuned ;)

A jolt

I was browsing Facebook and stumbled upon one of my friends' status that made me almost want to cry. Cry out of realization.

We always plan things. When things don't go as we planned it to be, we tend to curse and get pissed off. We sometimes tend to get mad at God on why things screw up. Sometimes, we tend to lose hope and give up on life.

When reading that status, I realized that everything happens for a reason. God has reasons why things happen they way they are.

Musing of the mind

What I hate about being neutral is that...

I tend to hear both side of the story and opinion.

And, I tend to agree with both of them and when there are some screw-ups, I tend to believe that both parties are at fault.

So....

Am I a hypocrite and a double agent?
