Alhamdulillah I'M ALIVEEEE!!

ehem.

if you followed me on twitter, or you were aware of my tweets, then you would have known already. for those who don't know what the toot i'm talking about,

i met an accident this afternoon.

yes. an accident.
with a trailer.
not a lorry.
a 1 1/2 storey high trailer.

and Alhamdulillah i'm fine and well (and attached) =D

here's the story!
this morning when i woke up, i had this uneasy feeling that i can't really give a name to. this feeling that you feel like something bad is going to happen, but you think you're being paranoid, so you try to ignore it, but it still comes back to you, like obb can my description be any longer? know what i mean?
i felt that. i felt like i shouldn't go to work. but then, what excuse can i give to the office?

me: hello, yaw, i don't think i should come to office yawww!

office: you crazey mayn?? whatcha think yo daddeyh own this companayh? you be trippin'!

me: yaw i just have this uneasy feelin, aiteeee! you be undastandin'!

office: no paycheck this month.

dayumm. ok fyi, people in my office don't 'sound' like that! they use civilised english =)

so yeah, i went to work anyway, despite having this feeling. while driving, i prayed to God to make this feeling go away. to make it be just my imagination. and i've recited Al-fatihah and ayat kursi to calm myself down.
i got to the office fine.
but at lunch was when it happened.

it was at the u-turn near my office. i'm not gonna go into detail with the story, but just know my front part of the car was in between the back of the trailer's huge tyre (it's bigger than my car!) and the u-turn road divider.
it was a freaky experience. Alhamdulillah my reflexes were quick too! i think if i hadn't reacted quickly just now, it would've been worse!

anyhoos, a few strangers came and help me and the trailer driver to get my car unstuck! thank you kind strangerss!!! may Allah bless you! =D and my colleagues actually came to help. including my boss! you guys are awesome! =D

don't worry, if you're worried, coz i'm fine and healthy, and my collegue who was more at risk was fine too, so Alhamdulillah.

the reason why i tell you this, is not to ask for sympathy. NO!
it's to tell you guys about instinct.

when you have this uneasy, deep gut, hard-to-explain feeling, and you feel like something's gonna happen to you or people around you, trust it. take necessary actions, if you expected it. but when you can't, pray.
God made things happen to us, good and bad, for us to learn. and from this experience, i definitely learnt.
i learnt that i should trust my instincts, be careful, be more patient when driving, be thankful, and practise my reflexes.

so for credits, i thank all the strangers who helped me during the accident, my colleagues who helped me bring my car back to the office, Dato' for taking me to the police station, policemen for being very cooperative, my parents for their support and strength, Allah, for allowing me to live on =)

thank you.

longest pictorial EVAHHHH!!!

i have received a few comments here and there from ladies who weren't successful at wearing hijab chill after the video tutorial at my old post ( HERE )
maka seterusnya, i made PICTORIAL for you! after this, if you're still not clear on how to wear it, then i dunno what else to do.. haha!!

so here goes!!

(click for bigger view)

if your shawl/selendang/towel/selimut/whatever's covering your head is short, then it'll become like this! but hey, it's still nice kan. heeee..

tadaaaa!!! if you've seen the video tutorial, then you would probably be familiar with the steps. i guess the problem was, IT WASN'T CLEAR ENOUGH COZ I WAS WEARING A BLACK SHAWL!! MARIA, YOU'RE SO CLEVER! hurmph. sorry my dearies. i told you i'm still new with this video thing. i didn't consider about lighting la, sound la, colour la. all that jazz. forgive me? hehe! =p

anyway, i didn't write instructions here coz honestly, i just have little time to spare. i hope with the effort i made to compile and edit the pics is sufficient enough.

okay lah!

GOOD LUCK!

and seriously, if you still can't understand it, then i can't help u la. i'm out of juice already. heeee..

btw, yesh, i was in my pyjamas. hahahahaha!! =p

thank you thank you soooo much you bloggers for writing about me! terharu tauuuu!!! you guys are awesomeeee!!!! (did i miss out anyone?)

+++

ps: i'm quite busy lately with my work and stuff.. so i hope you can understand when i didn't reply your comments or messages via facebook, blog and chatbox. i really hope you don't take it personally!

Fancy lying down while playing the computer

so if you have seen Shea's blog at myamethyst-shea.com, Miss Yanny's blog at adriani-a.blogspot.com and Cik Epal's at cikepal06.blogspot.com, you would have known that we went on a date together. haha!!
oh, i'm the last to update about this. =p

since they've already described how our date went, i'm going to share about something else. did you know that the jam towards MidValley that day was RIDICULOUS? i was on the verge of going mental. hahaha! i pantang sikit bab bab jam ni. =p

ok that was not the point. haha!

compared to shea, yanny and cik epal, i was really simple. i was wearing that mason-cropped-tee, green inner, black jeans and flats.ok i know that cropped tee is very mason, but i didn't realise! it's an honest mistake! i only bought it because i like the fact that it's long sleeved and cropped. anyway, these ladies are gorgeous! and Cik Epal is simply fun!

+++

oh oh, and to make it clear, i did not wear hijab for fashion. if i wanted to be fashionable, i wouldn't be wearing hijab kot!! i could wear short skirts, knee high stockings, cropped tee without wearing an inner, short dresses, have my hair in plaits, permed, oh gosh, and soo much more! get the point? i wear hijab because i respect my religion, i fear for Him, and i don't have any excuse for not wearing it. =)

i may be weird, but i can think.

+++

so that day, before going to Midvalley to meet up with these gorgeous ladies, before having lunch with the family, i was online checking facebook. we only have 1 PC at home, so we all always fight for out turn to use the internet.
anyway, that morning, i was lucky enough to have my turn. and as usual, i went to my facebook. i checked the inbox, notifications and friend requests.
i was wondering la, why is the notification so sikit? then, why friend requests ada 10 people? coz i remembered i had a bit more.. ok whatever. approve, approve, approve.
then i went to my profile. i saw my mom's status.
and i commented la.

the funny part was.
I WAS LOGGED ON TO MY MOM'S ACCOUNT! 

when i went to the profile, i thought i was looking at my mom's status!! when i'm actually looking at my own status as my mom!! okay does that make sense? whatever. hahahahahahahaa!!!
NOOB GILA OKAYYY!!

so yeah, my mom's a Maria too. hehehe!! sorry mother! =p you da best, you know? me love you very much you know? heheheheehe!! =p

put your hands up if you've done something like this too!! teehee!

+++

ps: i have been featured at JAMEELA's blog!! this girl is sooo funny! and she looked good with all the hijab fashion!! kidos jameela!! hehehe! =D

also at HANNYNADIA's blog!! now she looks very sweet, but she's funny too!! check her out la! =D

at SAKURASHAWL's blog too! at first i thought she was selling shawls. rupanya tak. haha! check her out je la k! =D

and at NURUL's blog! i thought she was about to talk bad about me coz her title's like that, rupanya tak. hahahaha!!! pandai buat orang cuak ek nurul! =p

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! i love you all tauu taaakkkk!! hehehe! =D




oh i forgot!

do support us! we're trying to make a webshow that can be both useful and fun for all you fellow ladies and gentlemen out there! =D

yes i looked awkward, but it's only because i'm not used to the setting! i made my videos pun in my room.. my comfort zone.. and alone. so it was quite intimidating being with the awesome Sue Anna Joe. know what i mean? ahahaha!! well, i too look forward to our next episode!! =D wish us luck!! heeee..

peace!

Fainted, got up and taught a new word

yes yes, it was my Birthday yesterday and yes yes, i did NOT celebrate it this time.
why?

simple.

because i don't need to. =)

i just want to stay at home, relax and absorb everything and every blessings i've received this year.
last year, i wished that 2010 will be filled with unexpected events, changes, fun and success.

alhamdulillah i've had just that =)

i am truly thankful for all the wishes from you at Facebook! you made me feel special! hehehee!! and my friends and family who've called and texted, i love you guys!!! =D

oh, i got the shock of my life when my friend told me Yuna actually posted my Hijab Chill tutorial on her Tumblr. i was like serious?!?!? and my eyes teared up, for what reason, i also don't know, i'm weird that way..
and when i saw it, i was like..

okay. so is Yuna gonna wear the hijab like me?

hahaha!! fat chance! her style is waaaaay cooler! =D

she also commented on my post of the Maysaa event!

so Yuna, if you happen to come to this blog yang pelik again, to you i would reply:

Salam Yuna!!

oh please please do curi the pictures and put it up wherever you like, even in your room! hehehe!! =p the group photos are not mine though, but i'm sure the Shea and Adriani, the owners of the group photos, will be very honoured to have you take them! 

it was really great to have met you personally! i'd love to keep in touch with u! hehehe!! 

much loves! =D

cewah, baik gila ayat! hehehe!!

okay so i've blurted out on facebook about making a video. teehee!!
it's not much pun actually. i just suddenly felt like sharing something kan. so don't expect too much!
the quality of the video is kinda noob. i'm sorry ya! i'm so new at this tauuuu! i'm learning okayyyhh!
so don't be hating ya! heheee..



so there you go.

oh btw, i know i laughed like a FAKE DONKEY, but so what. haha! =p

also to SAFINA for writing up about my pelikness! hehehe!! check out her blog HERE! cute la dia! thank you soo sooo much!! =D

oh na na, what's my name

thank you Cik Epal for bringing in more people to my blog yang small-small ni!

to all you new friends, HELLO!

to old friends but not that old, WASAAAPPP!!

teehee!!

oh i want to apologise to all of you firstly, coz i didn't have that much time to check out your blogs. i am positive that your blogs are wonderful!! so sorry ek! i will insyallah, when i have the time ok! being in the working world somehow takes the life out of me when i get home. i usually just watch youtube or tv.. and facebooking..

oh to you who said hi to me on my facebook, thank you ya! i like it when those i've added actually said thanx to me. it's polite! heeee..

anyways, i have a story to share. 

my friends and i watched the theatre called Natrah two nights ago. 

Natrah was played by Maya Karin. oh Maya, why are you so gorgeous? and why are you acting as a teenager padahal you're already in your 30s? haha! 

so at one point, Natrah was at a crossroad between her real mother and her adoptive mom (mak angkat).

she really loves her mak angkat, so she was battling with her real mother to let her go and stuff.

then she said, with heartfelt hatred and anger,

full of despise,

disgust and anguish,

"Maria maria maria!! SAYA BENCI NAMA ITU!!"

why? why do you hate that name?? Dato Yusof Haslam bukan main suka nama Maria ok! he kept using the name for the characters in his movies!

hmph!

merajuk.

ok the name Maria doesn't have an Islamic meaning, but it has in Latin!

which are The Star of The Sea and Beloved. the star of the sea? mcm cool ek. haha!

the name Maria also have been made into songs!

Maria maria, Santana (Latin pop)
Maria, Ricky Martin

Maria, Rage Against the Machine 

Maria (1956 song), West Side Story 

Maria, The Sound of Music 

Maria, Blondie 

Maria, Green Day
Maria, The Jacksons 

Ave Maria, Beyonce

and the list just goes on and on.

so Natrah, or anybody else out there, don't la hate the name Maria. it's a cool name! hehehehehe!! =p

oh btw! Maria Elena is a song too! 

that's how my parents thought of my name. ever heard of it?

if you haven't, this is Nat King Cole's version. Michael Buble sang an english version but you have to download it to listen. as if you're going to do that.. haha!! 

thank you Nat King Cole for making a tribute to me. hahahhaa!! =p

ok now let's ChillPopia!

notice the similarity?

why yes! it's that waist belt! it's so simple and feminine and it doesn't oversell cuteness!

the belt is from Old Blossom Box, fyi. i thought it was really versatile when i saw it. terus beli!

so this is my idea of turning a blaahhh ensemble into ehh cool! one. haha!!

anyway, the point of this post? 

nothing really. just want to make myself and all you Marias' feel better. hik hik!! sorry ya~

ps: i'm trying to get a camcorder to make vlogging easier. see the distance i would go for you! hahaha!! =p 

well actually i kinda like vlogging but camcorders are quite expensive.. so we'll see la how. heee.. boleh tak i bukak tabung camcorder? haha!

YAY TOMORROW'S FRIDAY!! 

=D
