HAPPY HoLiDaYs
---------------------------
Dear Readers,

Happy Holidays from Hisaam and his family! Again, whether anyone prefers to call me by a nickname I don't mind, but I do indeed rather prefer the honorable name bestowed upon me by my family. ^^ ~ Anyways, been a few months since a journal update eh? Yup, I've been answering messages and actually commenting on a few deviations during the past months, to show that I am ironically still active here. I have a few things to say, without the desire of wasting your time, but it's your preference if you'd like to read that. For the main course of this journal, I do suggest you read the rest of this paragraph while you're here because there's some information on progress that's going on with my work and such, which I suppose you'd be interested in. So let's cut to the chase after these few words: How're you guys? What's been on top of your mind lately, any distresses and difficulties one wants to discuss? Any thing in need of assistance which I may be able to help with? Feel free to ask, for that is partially why I'm here on dA as well, or wish to be so as not to seem so useless aside from uploading art. [joking ^_^]. So....Happy Holidays!

P.S
Please Support and ~ They need lots of love and people to give them some feedback ^^ You won't be disappointed! so go, go go!

P.S P.S
Unfortunately I've deleted all my Deviations a few days before this journal because it became almost impossible for me to see and comment on all of the very old deviations. However, I am still looking at the recent deviations and checking up on the previous deviations of my watchers and those whom I am watching, k? ^_^

So far, as this update is, I've also deleted some of the 1000+ journals from the past too and recently started over. I hope you all forgive me for that as well... >_< I promise to try to keep up with you guys this time

And... so I have: 61 Deviations 4 Messages 0 Notes
Do send me a note or two if you're bored or something's bothering you. Good way to start conversation ne?

EID MUBARAK from Eid-Al-Adha
----------------------------------------------------
I know it's late to say it to my Muslim Brothers and Sisters on here, but Eid Mubarak! I was actually thinking of updating when it was Eid, but I just had my hands tied with stuff like school and all. School is over for me this semester. I finished my finals this week, and from what I've seen so far I have passed my classes! Whoot! Other than that, Celebrating Eid was nice. We had a few relatives over and we ate a wonderful meal. I really enjoy having guests over and a lot of people around to talk to and just have them there. One of the lessons of Eid I think, is that we should never forget to thank or creator and sustainer of this world, which I sincerely believe and call as Allah (SWT) the God of us all (If anyone wants to talk about this important subject, please note me or so ^_^). Nonetheless it is to be grateful for what we have, and that our hardships will be rewarded. When you give up everything for the right thing, you will be rewarded, one way or another. If any of you are confused what Eid-Al-Adha is or would like to learn more about Islam, go here: [link] (Though this is just about Eid in general you can search around the website). So anyways, Late Eid Mubarak to you all! And I hope peace and blessings to everyone on here and around the globe!

Wedding in INDIA
--------------------------------
I'm leaving to India on the 22nd of December, 2008.
We are going to attend the Wedding Celebration of my little sister Hana (20 years old) who has just been married to Asif. They've already made their marriage contract in India a couple of months ago, and this is something new to me. I'm gonna go there and see so many new family members and spend as much as I can with the whole family. We'll be staying there for approximately 2-3 weeks, so I probably will be less active on dA or not active at all for that time if I'm really busy. This trip is very significant because after this I won't see my little sister for a while, because she wants to stay in India with her husband, and maybe that's actually better for their children when they have some. If some of you are finding the marriage age odd, it is important to note that there really isn't a specific age for marriage except after one has psychological and physical maturity. Now that might come at 16, 18, 20, or higher. It shouldn't matter, unless there is something fishy. Again, the provisions of marriage of consent and maturity should ALWAYS remain, and for my sister who is very intelligent and certainly matured into a young woman, her marriage is not so alien, I believe. Nonetheless, I'm both excited and sad about this trip. But some of those details are minor, so no need for anyone to worry, if anyone actually cares.

Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel
----------------------------------------------
So, I've recently discovered that Mirror-Moon has released a complete translation patch for the long-awaited visual game, Fate/Stay Night. There is also a very simplified censored-patch for those like me who don't like bad scenes like what exists in that game, but you'll have to venture into the forums for that. You can purchase the game from Type-Moon from specific online retailers and I highly recommend that you do. I've just got into the story with my little brother and sister and have already completed the first scenario: Fate, with the Tru-Ending. We're almost complete with Unlimited Blade Works (Day 10/15) and are thinking of completing Heavens Feel after we return from India. This just comes to show that it's an amazing game, with a deep interactive story and moving music. Think of Visual Novels as books with pictures, animation and music. No, it's not Anime, nor Manga, but a hybrid that's more bent on the structure of a novel with choices. Be careful though as I've said this is an 18+ game. Even with the censored patch there is some language here, but it may be overlooked in some way.

So! Go out and Buy that game and get the translation patch! You won't be disappointed!

P.S ~ If you can't afford the game... you can always sneak a torrent download... but I didn't just say that.
