'Cause this is Thriller...

 

So, it was midnight... and the streets... the streets were cold last night... 

 
  
The living deads are around us!!

 
  
  
  

But... there are cute zombies too... 


And cute zombies looks cute even dead or eating...
 
  

And at the end... we all dance in a cute zombie's party!

So yes, last night it was the Zombie Walk at Barcelona, and I must say that I had so much fun. I couldn't dressed myself as a zombie because I had a dinner before the walk, but all the people I saw was great!

So, I didn't do anything special on my saturday except this... what about you? I hope you all had so much fun!

Low Fat, Hearty Meatball Recipes: Food Tip of the Day - Saturday, February 27th, 2010

It was while I was fairly aimlessly browsing Hub Pages today that I came across the page I am going to share with you as today's food tip of the day. The page was actually compiled by one of Hub Pages' staff, Maddie Ruud, and is all about different ways to cook meatballs in a healthy fashion. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the page and the link is included at the bottom of this post.

I am fairly sure that I included a meatball recipe at some point previously on this blog - which is when I probably took the photo to the right which I found in my archives! - but until today, I did not fully realise just to what extent it is possible to experiment with new ways of serving meatballs in a healthy fashion. I'll have to come up with something for this blog fairly soon.

I hope that you enjoy Maddie's site - and if so - that you will leave her a comment to this effect.

Low Fat, Hearty Meatball Recipes

Perkara sebelum Tidur

‎​Perkara Sebelum Tidur ( Tafsir Haqqi )
Rasulullah berpesan kepada Aisyah ra : "Ya Aisyah jangan engkau tidur sebelum melakukan empat perkara, yaitu :

1. Sebelum khatam Al Qur'an
2. Sebelum membuat para Nabi memberimu syafaat di hari akhir
3. Sebelum para muslim meridhoi kamu
4. Sebelum kau laksanakan haji dan umroh"

Bertanya Aisyah :"Ya Rasulullah ... Bagaimana aku dapat melaksanakan empat perkara seketika?"

Rasul tersenyum dan bersabda : "Jika engkau tidur bacalah,

1. Al Ikhlas tiga kali seakan-akan kau mengkhatamkan Al Qur'an. 

" Bismillaahirrohmaan irrohiim,
'Qulhualloohu ahad' Alloohushshomad' lam yalid walam yuulad' walam yakul lahuu kufuwan ahad'  ( 3x ) "

2. Sholawat untuk Ku dan para nabi sebelum aku, maka kami semua akan memberi syafaat di hari kiamat. 

“  Bismillaahirrohmaan irrohiim, Alloohumma shollii 'alaa  Muhammad wa'alaa aalii  Muhammad ( 3x ) “

3. Beristighfarlah untuk para muslimin maka mereka akan meridhoi kamu. 

“ Astaghfirulloohal adziim aladzii laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyul qoyyuum wa atuubu ilaih ( 3x )

4. Perbanyaklah bertasbih, bertahmid, bertahlil, bertakbir maka seakan - akan kamu telah melaksanakan ibadah haji dan umroh.

“ Bismillaahirrohmaan irrohiim, Subhanalloohi Walhamdulillaahi walaailaaha illalloohu alloohu akbar ( 3x  )
