This post wasn't meant to show off or be boastful, but it came from a quick answer when my wife asked about what resolution I want to achieve for 2025. Instantly, I replied, "Maybe it'd be nice if I were able to pray in a mosque at least once a day." So, for the next journal, I will share photos of my journey of visiting (to pray, of course, duh) the mosque at least once a day. Bismillah. Hope it can inspire whoever you are out there to do the same thing, and in the end, we can make it five times a day. Amin. (P.S.: the photos will be uploaded in a bundle, as much as I can.) I have always admired those who have the skill to create this symmetrical graphic. Pure art. Bless you all. Somehow, it's like representing earth, the place where we live, and the infinite sky, where god belongs, right? Respect for those who are always able to stop by the mosque to pray. 🫡 Since we tend to excuse ourselves to keep going because we are afraid of whatever reasons we have. Quick observation: most of the attendees are older people. Approximately 45 y.o above.

A brief update for Pipa, he is very lively now and we love him so much! So, below was him in his early days since we adopted him circa Q2 2024. There were scabies and fungal infections on him. But still, he's cute no matter what. And this is in August, if I am not mistaken, when all the infections were healed, and we decided to let him join the other three senior cats as the fourth member. He was also allowed to stay inside the house. During Q3 of 2024, his growth was very rapid. And it turns out he became like having an orange-ish cat behaviour which was so uncontrollable. So we put a cat bell necklace on him to detect where he was, just in case we lost him, considering his agile and aggressive exploration. lol. "Curiosity kills the cat." He's not kind of clingy but loves to follow me wherever I go, even when I'm taking some 💩. Last one, this is him staring at you to remind that January 2025 is two weeks remain.
Just wanted to give you an update: It's been about six weeks since I last told you about the kitten we rescued from the second floor of our house. We decided to adopt him, and now he's an official member of our cat family at home. He's the fourth cat, and we named him Pipa, which is a direct translation of "pipe," the place where he got stuck. We are really happy with how healthy he has become today, and he loves to hunt some fingers to bite. Of course he always brings laughter for us at home.
As mentioned in the title, "cat distribution system" is a term often used humorously on the internet to describe how cats can randomly appear or be "distributed" into your life. This happened to me this week. (Note: In the home where I live, there are already three cats living with us.) So, this is how the new cat in the house was distributed. I will explain it in numbers to make the story clearer and in order. 1. We had been hearing a kitten crying since the day before. At first, we thought it was just a usual call for its mother. However, as night fell, we began to feel suspicious since the crying hadn't stopped. When we checked the source, which was coming from the house's second floor, we discovered it was coming from a pipe, as shown in the picture. 2. These are the efforts I made to save the kitten. I used raffia string, a rope made from rags, a small pipe, and nylon string. I managed to save the kitten with the nylon string; luckily, it could reach its right-front leg. (I made a small lasso, and it didn't hurt the kitten, by the way). 3. To help you imagine more clearly, this is the situation where the kitten was stuck. Essentially, it fell behind the wall marked by the line I drew. We thought we might need to break through the wall to save the kitten, but thankfully, that wasn't necessary. For reference, the height of the pipe is approximately 3 meters. 4. Respect for this smol creature. I think it could survive inside the pipe for almost 36 hours. Salute! (I still don’t know how the kitten ended up in the pipe.) 5. We immediately took it to the vet. The kitten was very weak, dehydrated, had scabies (though not severe), and was cold. Poor thing. We let it stay at the vet overnight. Finally arrived safe at home. Still needs more rest, eat a lot, and have a good shit. Hope it can live healthy and bring us happiness.
I bet that most people in the world have gone Googling to check the symptoms (or if something wrong is happening in their body) they have on their bodies. Don't ever try to those who have never tried it. Trust me. It just escalates your anxiety. However, the idea of using ChatGPT to interpret your medical results is quite intriguing, isn't it? As I explained in the previous journal, a few months ago, I had allergic issues, and I did a blood test to find out what had actually happened in my body. So, yes, the result was there, but sadly, the doctor didn't explain the numbers and the definition that came from the result in detail. She only told me that I had a deficit in vitamin D and low immunity, which was the main reason why I got this allergic thing. But, just in case you are wondering to re-read the result again, it's not a sin to ask the ChatGPT. (Again, at the end of the day, it's better to ask for the expert) The interesting part is that, somehow, I think the interpretation issued by this AI was quite accurate (at least for me). Based on this result, it knows which problems I actually have. But don't forget on the last paragraph it stressed to important to consult with the expert. So again, don't rely fully upon this AI.
