Praying for a Successful Umrah

 4:30am, November 1, 2026

Today, we'll be heading to Manila, then tomorrow going to KSA with a layover in Oman. We'll be performing Umrah, alhamdulillah. And yes, there's an ongoing war in the Gulf region, but since this is a religious journey, just putting trust in the Almighty, Tawakkul.

I'm writing again about this trip specifically because I want to tell myself, after this trip, that I'll be okay. I'm just worried that my period is a bit delayed, which means I might miss the Rawda visit in Medina, and possibly the Tawaf during Umrah in Makkah. Normally, my period should be here already, a few days ago, actually. I've done all the exercises that might help. As for the medicine to delay it, I don't think it's convenient to take that; I can't delay it for two weeks.... It's breaking my heart, i can't perform all the religious act having my period. 

I'm actually excited about the umrah; I got to visit KSA with my mother, brother, and sis in law... Now, I'm a little sad. I was not able to plan activities while having a layover in Oman, coz I'm too bothered.

All I can do now is really to trust Allah's plan. Praying I'll be okay, and my family will be okay. alhamdullillah 

7;40pm

In Manila right now, trying to sleep early , coz we need to head to the airport by 3am. Still sad and disappointed today, i thought my period came. Astagfirullah, i really can't get rid of not feeling sad about it . . I have to put all my trust to the Almighty Allah, coz this thing, i can't control.

Alhamdullillah, we are now in Oman having a layover, waiting for boarding Medina KSA. But still frustrated with my period schedule, i thought it came today, yesterday and the previous day.. all false alarm, as if it's teasing me.. my period usually arrive exactly every 30 days.. or earlier... Rarely, delayed. And this time, its delayed, when i badly needed it not to come late... Hayyyysss.. really disappointing.  But, its out if my control. Just comforting myself that, Allah's knows best.

What"s wrong with blogger

 Just wondering, why in the past few months, i've got lots of viewers, is that even legit? When i was active in blogger, just had few readers, and now that I barely write, i got lots of numbers of viewers? Maybe its a sort of glitch, an automatic thing, that's really not existing...

Prove me wrong, can somebody comment here. I guess none. Haha

Sad movie

 Im currently watching 'How to make Millions before grandma dies".  Why its making me cry... Im not even half way of the movie,but I shed so many tears already. I'm not sure if its really a tearjerking movie or its making me miss my late father, or it makes me think of my future when i grow old... Whose gonna take care of me when i grow old. Hahaha... Im not really worrying about that,but this movie is making me sad.

Can't wait for another trip

 After my Europe trip, I thought I'm done travelling or at least lessened it coz I've finally been to my dream countries, especially Switzerland.. But now, I wanted to travel mooooore...

I still want to go back to Europe, because I wasn't able to visit Austria, Slovenia, Hungary and other parts of Europe,, but maybe few years from now, inshallah.

I'm eyeing central asia, in Kazakhstan in particular.
