October

October is the tenth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with a length of 31 days. In the northern hemisphere, October is commonly associated with the season of fall.

October begins in western tropical astrology with the sun in the sign of Libra and ends in the sign of Scorpio. Astronomically speaking, the sun actually begins in the constellation of Virgo and ends in the constellation of Libra.

In Latin, octo means "eight," reflecting the fact that October was the eighth month in the Roman calendar.

there u are.. its already october and the year seems fly by really fast nowadays.. its already day 19th of the ramadhan.. and i can now see the happiness in ppl faces in celebrating eidul fitri..

talkin bout 2 months from endin 2007.. i was wonderin the impact of what ive done this year to myself, my family and the community.. actually i seldomly think deep on this kind of matter.. for me, if i am happy and the ppl around me is happy, its good enuf.. but just today lets think bout what COULD u do not what have u done..

for me, the life is simple enuf, i woke up in my own house, ate my own food and go to work by my own car.. then at work i do my job, get my pay at the end of the month and used it at my convenience.. then it all go around again the next day/week/month.. is that life? hmm.. kadang2 i wonder if all things happen the other way around.. what if i cant get my own house, i ate my moms food, and im carpoolin to work everyday.. and what if theres not even work for me to do on the day and i didnt get my pay every month.. that should be harsh world to live with..

like i always said to ppl i've talk to.. when times comes, we had to compared our life to the ppl whos stay lower than us to feel the NIKMAT that god gives us in this world.. yes, it was nothin, theres many things we cant still get but at least we feel that we're more lucky than other.. hmm.. this is hard stuff.. thinkin bout this make me feel the depth of ramadhan al mubarak..

i'll better end this here.. all these thinkin will need to be done somewhere else.. i dont think i will get all the time and pages writin these kinda thing now..

Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان, Ramaḍān) is an Islamic religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when the Qur'an was revealed. The name "Ramadan" is taken from the name of this month; the word itself derived from an Arabic word for intense heat, scorched ground, and shortness of rations. It is considered the most venerated and blessed month of the Islamic year. Prayers, sawm (fasting), charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time; religious observances associated with Ramadan are kept throughout the month.

Ramadan is divided into three ten-day parts, or ashra (Arabic for ten). They are named Rahmah (mercy of God), Maghfirah (forgiveness of God), and Najah (salvation), respectively. Laylat al-Qadr, which falls during the last third, commemorates the revelation of the first verses of the Qur'an and is considered the most holy night of the year. Ramadan ends with the holiday Eid ul-Fitr, on which feasts are held. During the month following Ramadan, called Shawaal, Muslims are encouraged to fast for a further six days.
