I’m in Cali, ya’ll!
I can’t stay for long, we don’t have Internet, so I’m just using Victor’s connection for a few minutes so I can post.
Who’s Victor, you ask?
I don’t know.
But I’m guessing he’s someone who lives close by, and was dumb nice enough to leave his Internet connection unsecured so I could use it.
I had some photos I wanted to share with you since guys, but Victor’s connection just went from Good to Very Low, and it looks like I won’t be able to upload anything, which makes me really angry at Victor, so after I post this I’m going to go find him and let him know that he will totally be paying for lunch.
The Internet guy is coming on Thursday to set us up, so I’ll be up and running as usual after that. In the mean time, posting will be light here over the next few days (unless Victor gets his act together) so try to find something fun to keep yourselves entertained.
Happy Monday!

“Man in the early times was almost naked, and as his intellect evolved he started wearing clothes. What I am today and what I’m wearing represents the highest level of thought and civilization that man has achieved, and is not regressive. It’s the removal of clothes again that is regressive back to ancient times” - Nobel laureate, Tawakul Karman, in response to journalists who said her hijab was not proportionate with her level of intellect and education.

Alhamdulillah, I’m glad you had a safe trip! How’s LA so far, do you like it?
I remember when my family and I relocated to another part of the city we lived in. My younger sister and I would use our poor neighbors internet connection (whatever our laptops picked up) … until we installed our own a week later lol! Just don’t over use it … so he doesn’t freak out when the internet bill comes in!
Salaam Alaikum,
First of all..Hope you had a great flight and all the very best in settling down in LA..Have fun!
I’m a newbie on your site…and I love it!!!!!! Love your style and your posts always make me smile! I was hooked after the first visit:) I hope you continue to write with the same energy and positive attitude…because your site is very uplifting for a hijabi like myself!
Ps. The wedding pics were gorgeous…thanks for sharing
I’m glad you made it there. You’ll have to give tips on how to pack your life in 2 bags. I’m having to do it and its super hard!!!
And as for people who don’t lock their wireless, I thank God for them. it was the only way to get internet in so many places I went.
God Bless them!
Okay I apologize times a million if this brings you any problems at all… but I recently posted on a post over at a website/blog called the Frisky where a bunch of women were posting naive/ignorant comments saying that all women who wear hijab are brainwashed and mindless and defending Sarkozy recent proposal to ban burqas in Frace.(http://www.thefrisky.com/site/post/246-sarkozy-says-burqas-arent-welcome-in-france/)
but I linked them to your blog in a hope to educate them on hijab and modest dress and how Muslim women are not oppressed and such. I hope you don’t mind and again I am sorry and apologize times a million if this brings you any problems.

it’ll be like a second honeymoon.
All the best Sabrina!

Hi Arielle. I feel honored that you thought to link to my Web site as a means for people to understand Muslims better. I’m always open to new readers, even when they don’t agree with my (always right) point of view;) I’m always happy to meet people that are open to learning the truth behind other people’s beliefs. Bravo, and thanks again!
Good for you! My sister moved to West Hills and she loves it there! She plans on staying forever! I hope I get to come out soon and I know I’ll stay too! Thanks for a wonderful blog. I enjoy it very much. Make the best of your time there. Lots of things to do and see! Enjoy the beach and all of the cultural entertainment. Let us know how life is for a Hijabi there!
It’s great that you’re in Cali! What do you think of it so far?
I LOVE it when I don’t have an internet connection and someone’s left there’s unsecured…good times!
Can’t wait for more posts and photos…
Hooray for Victor lol, your too funny sis:P
Alhamdulilah you made it there safe and sound…looking forward to the pics you promised us.
Welcome to California! So nice to finally have you here!
Welcome to Cali! I moved out here from VA eons ago the day after my wedding and my father-in-law was kind enough to take a picture of the first palm tree I saw – right outside Long Beach Airport. I also remember expecting scenery akin to that on Beverly Hills 90210
Arielle:
As much as I agree with you regarding your views on Sarkozy’s remarks about Hijab, I don’t think this is the best site to learn what Hijab is all about. Hijab is much more than just covering your hair. Islam teaches you honesty, humbleness and modesty; virtues that are so much lacking in some of the posts by the author of this blog. Take for instant, use of someone else’s internet connection; that amounts to stealing. Is that what your religion teaches you? Touting the Islamic cause is not easy; there is a lot of responsibility that goes with it. This site seems to make a mockery of everything Islamic.
Pretty good post. I just found your site and wanted to say
that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Anyway
I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
wow, sharing/using someone else’s UNSECURED wireless connection, on a temporary basis, amounts to stealing?
You are just sharing.
I’d say it’s more like..borrowing. Actually, not even ..because you are not even taking it away from them!
Either way, sharing and borrowing are taught by Islam
Jokes aside, I think most of the author’s writing contains sarcasm and humour about her own life. Once one realizes this, one can see that it doesn’t necessarily say anything about her honesty or humbleness or her mocking of Islam.
