Woohoo, this is part 100 of Infinite Ink! I only got to know when I opened the "create" page and hit the button to add a new part. OK, that means there's pressure to make this post extra special, but unfortunately for you, I am just going to ramble on as usual.
It's almost been a year since I started this book on Wattpad. (I unpublished and republished the whole book, so the original publish date of the first post isn't there. But if I remember correctly, it was in the summer of 2015.)
Yes, I'm still camp earphones (versus camp headphones) as the instrument of choice to listen to an audio privately. (Currently, I have one earphone in my right ear and the other one dangling down randomly. I'm not being unfair to the left earphone. It's just broken. Sorry, left earphone. Because of you, I'm going to have to get new earphones.)
Yes, I'm going to get a Ramadan Journal this year IN SHA ALLAH. The Zohayma Montaner Ramadan Journal that has been coming out for several years. New year, new variations of content. Zohayma Montaner is a calligrapher and artist who does stunning work! Do check out her work. Her Facebook page is Facebook dot com slash ZMdesigns and her website is zohaymamontaner dot com. Whether or not the character Inaya from the story A Whisper of Peace will get a Ramadan Journal this year in her elder sister Leena's story Pens of Fate, remains to be seen.
Yes, I'm still listening to the nasheed SubhanAllah by Kamal Uddin. Now another nasheed is on continuous replay (and therefore sharing time with "SubhanAllah"). That one is "I came to know love", recited by Othman Al-Rashidi and originally by Rabia Al-Adawiya (Rabia Basri). The emotional and spiritual depth of the poem is astonishing. See for yourself:
Yes, I'm still drawing hijabi niqabi doodles, though not as frequently as before. Stewing in the pot of my own thoughts is top priority. Once I pull myself out of that am I free to draw. Which is just a fancy way of saying I'm just being lazy. Anyway, here's the latest one:

Yes, I'm still spending extravagantly when I shop online. Only, this time it's not books. It's hijabi stuff. Abayas and jackets and kimonos, yay alhamdulillah. I forgot to get a refill on sleeves, they always wander off somewhere and then only one of them turns up, like their cousin, socks. Oh, well. I can always order sleeves the next time I get an itch to buy hijabs. Who can resist when you have stuff like this up for grabs:

The brand is ABAA by my friend Hareem Zahid (I was her customer first and Internet friend later), just out with the spring collection. Check it out! She's at Facebook dot com slash AbaabyHZ
