The new of Shoutmix

Hi all!

Do you see a shoutmix box on the right side of the page? Do you see it? Do you? Well, I seldom read what have been written there by those blogwalking people because I seldom open my blog page. Haha. And like usual, they ask for a favor to visit their blog back in return and some, it is just a spam.

And today, I realize one thing on the shoutmix box. The shoutmix team has decided to stop their free service. And for those who have shoutmix account, they are given two options:

1. Start by switching it to paying plan (it depends to terms and conditions from Shoutmix)

or

2. Stop using the service

The free service will be end by the end of this year. For further info, you can check it on their website:

By the way, I would like to take opportunity to wish to all Christians, Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho

Today we sing in Tagalog. A well known song from Philippines and most of you have heard it before.

Anak - Freddie Aguilar



noong isilang ka sa mundong ito
laking tuwa ng magulang mo
at ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw

at ang nanay at tatay mo
'di malaman ang gagawin
minamasdan pati pagtulog mo

sa gabi napupuyat ang iyong nanay
sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo

at sa umaga nama'y kalong
ka ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo

Ngayon nga'y malaki ka na
nais mo'y maging malaya
'di man sila payaq walang magagawa

ikaw nga'y biglang nagbago
naging matigas ang iyong ulo
at ang payo nila'y Sinuway mo

hindi mo man lang inisip
na ang kanilang ginagagawa'y
para sa iyo

pagka't nais mo masunod ang layaw mo
'di mo sila pinapansin

nagdaan pa ang mga araw
at ang landas mo'y naligaw
ikaw ay nalulon sa masamang bisyo

at ang una mong nilapitan
ang iyong inang lumuluha
at ang tanong
"anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan?"

at ang iyong mga mata'y biglang lumuha
ng 'di mo napapansin

pagsisisi ang sa isip mo
nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

pagsisisi ang sa isip mo
nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

pagsisisi ang sa isip mo
nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali

Something to share. Read the article written by Zan Azlee. Read the whole article or you might not understand if you just read it half way.

Below is the link of the article.
Entice me and I'll come to pray bye Zan Azlee

For me, it's nice article even though I'm not 100% agree with him. It is subjective. It brings a lot of thoughts and discussion. And most of all, I like this guy's comment:

Dear Zan:

As much as I agree that the imam can sometimes deliver a really boring khutbah, it doesn't mean that is a valid reason for you to fall asleep and to blame it all on the imam. As much as he is at fault for not trying to get your attention, it is equally your responsibility to do your part to actually do your best to pay attention.

I know, because the imam who gave the khutbah Jumaat at the masjid I attended just now was really monotonous and it took a real effort for me not to fall asleep. But the way I see it, that's just Allah's way of testing my ability to listen and pay attention. If you really find it hard to pay attention, then at least do your best to stay awake. Would you like it if your audience were to fall asleep in the middle of your public presentation?

Likewise, for you to criticise the muezzin for not giving a beautiful Azan was totally uncalled for. After all, like you, he was sleepy and groggy. If you didn't like his voice, then you could have just told him to stand aside and let you call out the Azan instead.

For goodness' sake, he was doing you a favour by calling you to perform your religious obligations. And this is how you thank that poor chap - by criticizing his delivery and blaming him for making you cringe at the sound of the Azan for years thereafter?

Don't throw stones when you're standing in a house made of glass.
