Marumo No Okite

Started watching this drama and I’ve watched only 4 episodes but I LOVE IT!!! The kids are so cute…even their acting is good and the story is great.

The story is about a guy called Mamoru taking in the twins [Kaoru and Tomoki] of his friend [Sasakura] after he passes away… and the talking dog which suddenly starts following them and ends up living with them…

Some parts were really so sweet and you feel really sad for the twins who had to be separated because the relatives couldn’t take in both the kids and how out of place they feel… Its also really nice the way the sister is always watching out for the brother…

 I highly recommend it…but I’ve just watched 4 episodes but still what the hell ne :)

You can download the drama |here|<< but you have to join the community… Enjoy :)

Invocations

Narrated Hudhaifa : Whenever the Prophet intended to go to bed, he would recite: "Bismika Allahumma amutu wa ahya (With Your name, O Allah, I die and I live)." And when he woke up from his sleep, he would say: "Al-hamdu lil-lahil-ladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana; wa ilaihi an-nushur (All the Praises are for Allah Who has made us alive after He made us die (sleep) and unto Him is the Resurrection). "

Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 75, Number 336  

Narrated Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, "When anyone of you go to bed, he should shake out his bed with the inside of his waist sheet, for he does not know what has come on to it after him, and then he should say: 'Bismika Rabbi wada'tu Janbi wa bika arfa'uhu, In amsakta nafsi farhamha wa in arsaltaha fahfazha bima tahfazu bihi ibadakas-salihin." 

[With Your Name, my Rabb, I place my side (upon the bed) and with Your Grace I will raise it up. If You withhold my soul (cause me to die), have mercy on it but if You let it go (let me live), guard it against which You guarded Your pious slaves]

Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 75, Number 332 

Narrated 'Ali : Fatima complained about the blisters on her hand because of using a mill-stone. She went to ask the Prophet for servant, but she did not find him (at home) and had to inform 'Aisha of her need. When he came, 'Aisha informed him about it. Ali added: The Prophet came to us when we had gone to our beds. When I was going to get up, he said, "'Stay in your places," and sat between us, till I felt the coolness of the feet on my chest. The Prophet then said, "Shall I not tell you of a thing which is better for you than a servant? When you (both) go to your beds, say 'Allahu Akbar' thirty-four times, and 'Subhan Allah' thirty-three times, 'Alhamdu 'illah' thirty-three times, for that is better for you than a servant." Ibn Sirin said, "Subhan Allah' (is to be said for) thirty-four times." 

Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 75, Number 330

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Prophet (PBUH) went to his bed, he would say: "Al-hamdu lillah-illadhi at`amana wa saqana, wa kafana wa awana, fakam mimman la kafiya lahu wa la mu'wiya (Praise is due to Allah Who has fed us, provided us drink, satisfied us and gave us protection. Many are those who have no one to provide for them, or give them shelter).''
Muslim

Hudhaifah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) intended to go to sleep, he would place his right hand under his (right) cheek and supplicate: "Allahumma qini `adhabaka yauma tab`athu `ibadaka (O Allah! Guard me against Your punishment on the Day when You will resurrect Your slaves).''

Ramadhan : )

Today being the first day of Ramadhan thought I’d share a little information regarding a few duas and surahs… Hope this helps i.a :).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who utters: `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise)' one hundred times a day, his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the ocean.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

"There are two statements that are light for the tongue to remember, heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful: `Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azim [Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the Greatest is free from imperfection)'.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Shaddad ibn Aws narrated that the Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] said; "The most superior request for forgiveness is to say:

'Allaahmma anta rabbee laa elaaha illaa ant. Anta khalaqtanee wa ana 'abduka wa ana 'alaa 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata't. A'oothu bika min sharri ma sana't. Aboo'u laka bi ni'matika alayya wa aboo'u laka bi thambee. Faghfir lee. Fa innahoo laa yaghfiruth-thunooba illaa ant.'

[O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god besides You. You created me and I am Your servant, following your covenant and [my] promise to you as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil that I have done. Before You I acknowledge Your blessings bestowed upon me and I confess my sins to You. So forgive me, for surely no one can forgive sins except You.]

The Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] then added, 'anyone who says this during the day, firmly believing in it, and dies before the evening; or says it in the evening, firmly believing in it, and dies before the following morning, will be among the people of paradise.' "

[Sahih al-Bukhari, vol 8, pp212-3, no 318]

Recitations From the Quran

Recite last two verses of surah baqarah at night…As according to hadith it is reported on the authority of Ibn Mas’ud from Rasoolillah (SAW) that he said: “Whoever recited the last two verses of suratul baqarah at night, they will be sufficient for him.” [Bukhari]

It is also recommendable to read Aayathul Qursi...read about the vitues of it |here|

Also recite surahs: Kahf, Mulk, Sajdah, Waaqiah, Rahman, Ad Dhukhan and even Ya sin…

Check this link |here|… It gives the virtues of the Quran and the excellence of several surahs… Enjoy!!! :)

Yasuko To Kenji

It’s a drama about 2 siblings who lost their parents and are living together. The brother, Kenji is a previous motor bike gang leader gave up on it to be a mangaka for his sister (Yasuko). The brother is over protective and the sister obviously doesn’t like it. Yasuko then starts liking a guy (Tsubaki) and his sister (Erika) ends up being in an ex-motor bike gang leader and for worst or for better she even loves Kenji.  The story revolves mainly around the siblings and love and work…

It’s a good drama…funny and entertaining. The only thing that really bothers me is the thing that each episode has a fighting scene at the end and the brother usually ends up appearing wearing his gang clothes…

 

Some of my favorite parts of the drama are the hilarious facial expressions the brother makes…

I also love the part Yasuko acts like her brother…

And Yasuko's hilarious imaginations of Tsubaki...

 

And finally Kenji's and Erika's looks as motor bike gang leaders and as ordinarily seen...

Happy cafe | My Boss My Hero

Happy cafe

Completed reading Shiawase No Kissa Sanchoume/Happy cafe… but the ending was quite disappointing and it just ended so quickly… I mean the manga consists of 82 chapters altogether but the main couple didn’t have much time together…it was a really really sudden ending that it seemed like an ending for a one shot but overall its not that bad… its funny and quite entertaining : )... but the manga did cover everything that had begun like about shindou's family and even uru's father's death...so that way it was quite satisfying.

 But I will always love the chibis of this manga... WAAA!! >0<

 ________________________________________________

My Boss My Hero

Hilarious high school drama... started watching it recently but in episode 6 already... I love the yakuza way of talking... want to learn it...The main story is about a future yakuza boss (27 year old) who has to go to high school and graduate in order to become the boss… First he hates school but begins to learn different things like about friendship and love…

There are so much of hilarious facial expressions and the drama tries to teach some nice lessons so I LOVED THE DRAMA!! It was awesome : ) 

 

 

There are so many more hilarious faces but I can't remember in which eps those were from : )

Oresama Teacher | Islamic Videos

Oresama Teacher

Started reading oresama teacher again as I've forgotten the middle part of the story so thought I'd start from the first. As before it was hilarious!! As menioned in my previous post the characters and their different personalities add to the manga's story... Highly recommend it for those looking for a comedy manga... The drawings are good too...

Karate

Went to karate today... Had my very first exams... It was sooo nerve wrecking... Ah... Hope I do well and go on to my next belt (i.a)... I did a few mistakes in the kata. But the black belters training looked rather challenging, tiring and fun.

Happy Cafe | Ryuusei No Kizuna

Happy Cafe [Shiawase Kissa Sanchoume]

A great romantic comedy manga..Love the story and the characters... The chibis are soooo KAWAIII!!! >O<.. The main story is about a 16 year old really short but extremely strong girl wanting to work in a cafe... She's kind of clumsy too... but then the story revolves around the cafe and the workers along with rivals and their families... I don't want to give too much away because I myself hate spoilers... but I highly recommend it  ^_^b !! The drawings are great too!!

Ryuusei No Kizuna

An awesome japanese drama... Its about 3 siblings seeking to take revenge from the person who killed their parents... The best thing about this drama is how the three siblings support each other and the twist in the last episode was sooo unexpected but great... Its also a very funny and entertaining drama!! I highly recommend this drama too : )!!! Love the scripts that Koichi writes and the last script where he himself had to act... Hilarious!!! I won't write anything more because I might reveal too much : )

 You can download the drama |here| or |here|

Picture taken from my sis's blog : )

Got 3 little kittens... I know kittens are generally little but these were ultra little when I found them... First brother found one of them on the roof and then after I came home after the exams I found 2 more... WAAAAA *O*...I LOVE MY BABIES!! My mother kept feeding them so much and they've got huge tummies now but I LOVE THEM ^3^... But sadly after taking care of them my mother wanted us to put them up on the roof again as they haven't been taught to litter properly so yeah... *teary eyes*... MY BABIES... Now, just two of them are left as my mother gave one of them away T^T. Their names are coke, mirinda and portello.. i know weird names..but still :)

And then some the dramas I didn't blog about...

My Girl

 I just absolutely loved the drama!! I recommend it to those who are looking for a romantic comedy. It was funny and the girl was absolutely hilarious and so cheerful!!! Hated both the second characters but they managed to be not so hate able at the end of the story... so yeah 

Secret Garden

Waaa!! WHY WOULDNT I LIKE IT!!!! STUNTS!!! I WANT TO DO STUNTS TOOOOO!!! I loved the acting skills...specially Gil Raim crying scenes and the Kim Joo Won's elevator scene... I absolutely love when the two of them switch bodies... so hilarious... even the tongue twister that Kim Joo Won uses... I really want to learn it too!! I'd recommend this to everyone who enjoys romantic comedy dramas and this has a touch of fantasy to it too

My Princess  

It was quite entertaining... Hated Oh Yoon Joo as she was trying to hog 2 guys to herself for no apparent reason..*sign* but that's how a second character should be so yeah... 

Marry Me Mary / Mary Stayed Out All Night

I absolutely advice you to stay away from this drama.. the first episode was great and maybe I was expecting too much but afterwards it was a total let down... specially after the ep 9 I think but then it becomes really funny for I think 2 more episodes and that's it...Nothing much to say so yeah... but if you don't mind a few let downs here and there then maybe you can try it... :)

My Fair Lady

Overall it was a good drama and I'd say it was quite entertaining... and rather than a proud and full of oneself male main character... this drama shows a female main character... 

Sorry that my opinion on the dramas aren't that long and convincing because it's been a long time since I watched these... But they were all pretty entertaining :).
