Think Before You Ink: Tattoo and Us
November 22, 2016
I'm sure most of us know what is tattoo. Or at least, know how tattoo looks like. It maybe not common in our society (at least people around me) as it is not allowed in Islam (Sunni). But, I do believe the number keeps increasing nowadays.
Maybe due to factors people want to look cool in front of others or they want some significant identity on their skin. Some may find it difficult to cope with life after few stress-triggering incidents - so, they seek something like the pain that can make them ignore their problem.
What is tattoo actually?
It is said to be an art, the proper one will be made by professionals. Kinda pricey, depends on the styles and professional skills. In this blog post, I am not talking about tattoo stickers, yea. What I want to say that, the real tattoo is about permanent markings on the skin - made using needles and ink.
How tattoo is being done?
By inserting ink to a skin layer - dermis.

My experience with tattoo.
No, I don't have tattoo on my body. It looks totally painful, even for me to see.
I met a patient few days ago with tattoos all over his body. Even though patient like this may come with problems other than skin problems like muscle pain, chronic stomach ache, long term diarrhea, chest pain....etc, I've been told that medics need to ask more information regarding the tattoos as well. For example, when did the patient get it, what was the reason, where did he/she go to get the tattoo.
Why?
Skin with tattoo can be a site for infection. And the instruments used to make tattoo as well. Here, people are free to have tattoo (even though some people may find it worrisome to watch the person with tattoos). Just, they are highly recommended to go to the best professional who provide this service. Make sure all needles used are sterile, and the ink does not have side effects to the skin.
Why you need to think twice (or even thousand times) before getting a tattoo?
1. For Muslim Sunni, it is prohibited.
**sorry, I don't have the English version of these.
**sorry, I don't have the English version of these.
- At-Tabrani menyatakan yang bermaksud, "Rasulullah SAW melaknat perempuan yang mentatu dan minta ditatu, serta yang mengikir gigi dan yang minta dikikir giginya" - reference Fiqh Medik by Dr. Zaharuddin Abd Rahman
If we refer to Mufti Pahang's website, we can find another hadith that is against tattoo.
- "Daripada Ibnu Umar R.Anhuma, sesungguhnya Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda “ Allah melaknat perempuan yang menyambung rambut dan minta disambungkan rambutnya, perempuan yang membuat tatu dan yang meminta dibuat tatu.” (Riwayat al-Bukhari)
2. It is painful.
Maybe painless for some people, but I met so many people who are scared to needles. The main reason is the pain. So, why people need to choose to be in pain?
3. Risk of infection.
The ink used in tattoo usually is certified, but it is the problem with the conditions when the tattoo is being done.
- "When you are injecting a substance into the skin, you risk infection," - WebMD
The effects could be hepatitis (inflammation of liver - most common), Staphylococcus infection or warts. When the skin is punctured, it leads to bleeding - so, more blood-borne infections.
4. Tattoo removal process is crazy.
Can tattoo be removed?
Well, I already answer this question in just few lines above.
Yes, it can be removed, but the procedure is very expensive, time-consuming, painful. There is a blog post on how tattoo is removed by Dr. Azwan, maybe you can check it out for more details. I can conclude this person may need to undergo surgery or laser treatment.
In this video, you will understand why tattoo is permanent but eventually fade away a little.

Disqus is one of my biggest blogging sins - that I keep on doing. Till this exact moment.
I know that Disqus is not friendly anymore with Blogger, I mean it doesn't sync at all now. I tried searching around how to change back to Blogger comments without losing the comments I already have on my posts. But, none. T_T
Sad truth.
I am so sorry for those who find it difficult to leave a comment in my blog. I have no idea what should I do with this. Deep inside, I really hope you won't find it hard to leave comment by logging in to Facebook, Google or Twitter. Honestly, Disqus is almost perfect EXCEPT the sync problem. T_T
 |
| This morning. |
Oh, do you guys know what is Disqus actually?
It is a 3rd party comments section for blog. Told ya, I was a big fan of Korean dramas and shows - those sites were the starting point I learned the existence of Disqus. And after I found few other blogs using Disqus as well, honestly it looked totally cool!
I wish Disqus can sync with Blogger like it used to be. T_T
 |
| What is hyperlink? |
On Disqus comments section, you can leave a link without extra codes needed. Like, if you leave a Youtube link, it will even attach the video on the comment itself.
But, on Blogger comments, the 'link' will not hyperlink on its own.
Let me show you the examples:
 |
| THIS IS ONLY FOR EXAMPLE 1. The link/text without hyperlink 2. Hypertext - link/text with hyperlink |
For the first example.
- You need to select the text --> right click --> select 'go to xxxx'
- This is possible ONLY IF the blogs allow readers to do 'right click'
- Although I don't really understand why people disable 'right click', I respect your decision anyway.
- Alternative = you can also select the text --> control + C (copy) --> control + T (open a new tab) --> control + V (paste) --> enter
- If you are very good with keyboard (especially with shortcuts), this is very simple for you.
So, why not make it easier for other people to click the link on blogger comments by directly make the text / link as hyperlink?
See the 2nd example.
- You can click directly on the hyperlink to open the link on the same tab.
- Alternative = if you want to read it afterward, just right click on the link --> select open link in a new tab.
- You can continue reading the page before continue with the next tab.
-------------------------
How to do it?
You just need to add this HTML code:
<a href="http://www.610h.com">hanisamanina.com</a>
The result will be like this: hanisamanina.com
For the code, simply change the text in quotation mark "http://www.610h.com" into the link you want to share. Next, change the text in between the arrows >hanisamanina.com>< - this is how people will see the hyperlink.
I think you realised that I put this hyperlink at the very end of comments I left on your blog :) The very exact reason why I inserted my blog hyperlink on each comment I left is I don't like both Blogger profile and Google Plus profile when people click on my name.
I had experience once - when I read any interesting comments, I really want to reach out the person. So, when I click his/her name, I was directed to a Blogger profile with most of times the blogger may have 3-4 blogs listed! Why oh why?
T_T
Tips :
I saved the HTML code on Notepad on my laptop and pin it to taskbar. Every time I do my routine blog walking, I'll make sure I already open the Notepad and copy the HTML code.
p/s - People may think the link as spam, I do as well. Just, try to hover on the hyperlink first to see where the link is directing you.

3 Important Life Lessons I Learned This Week
November 18, 2016
I shared in past few days that my friends and I are opening orders for awesome LUSH products in previous two entries. Yes, you can still do so before Saturday, 19th November 2016, 12pm (Malaysia time).
Honestly, this is kinda my first experience to be a personal shopper like this. I have my own reasons to do that. For example, it is good to exercise my mind that I need to do something while waiting for job or interview after graduation. And alhamdulillah, what I am doing right now is preparing myself for that.

| Nice view to start Friday :D |
Friday is a good day to reflect our hectic week while our heart already looking forward for the weekend. So, let me share what I gained through out these past few days. :)
1. It is hard to earn money.
I feel ashamed of myself for NOT trying business EARLIER. I am too scared and feel too awkward to approach people. Being an ambivert, sometimes, it feels kind of hard to meet MANY random people but seriously it is quite fine right now.
And, Czech is not a place where students can do business with its products, like Malaysian students in India always come out with Indian sarees' business, in Korea with Korean cosmetics products. What's famous in Czech is first, the beer. Maybe next one is Swarovski's crystals and jewelries. You know, the one Neelofa put on her Hijab's products. But, they are kinda expensive to make pre-order or ready-stock.
But, maybe I should try? HAHAHA
Hmm, the other thing I realised that I move around a lot; walking and cycling - which took a lot of muscle works, especially in late autumn like this. Haha. Sometimes, I need to survey the prices from different shops to quote the best prices to the buyers. Oh, in this case I am talking about being a personal shopper for Czech's traditional honey cake ordered by my graduated seniors. I can say they miss everything about Czech right now. They requested so many random items - like university car stickers?
I am more than happy to serve them :D
I am more than happy to serve them :D

2. Business is about sacrificing our time, money and energy.
I described already about energy consumed to do this job. :) But, it helps me to exercise at the same time and I love it. Move our body, people!
Glad to have free week for the time being. I still have classes in the morning to focus on. To be able to differentiate what is my priority at a specific time is the key to all of these.
3. Entertain customers and provide the best services to them.
I am a shy person, but I can be loud as well to people who share / speak about common interests :) Hehe. Otherwise, being a listener is what I always do.
Maryam and I have different personalities, but I can say our differences a bit supporting each other. She's way more creative than I am, while I am more outspoken than her. Only Allah knows how was our conditions when we discussed this plan. Only He knows how many times we kept on repeating, "Ya Allah, segannyaaaaaa." Haha. Yep, the first step is always the hardest. Same like a small baby trying to take his first step. Similar situation.
We are on our way to overcome this weakness, and I feel grateful to say we improved A LOT.
---
All in all,
I love what I am doing right now! :D Haha.
So, anyone who are interested to buy any LUSH products, feel free to contact me before Saturday, 19th November 2016 at 12pm Malaysia time. :D
Please contact me via:

Let's go!
1) Let The Good Times Roll (Facial Cleanser)
This wonderful face and body cleanser has maize flour, polenta (cornmeal), corn oil and a dash of cinnamon powder. It’s a gentle yet scrubby cleanser which leaves your skin feeling totally smooth and soft with the caramel popcorn scent! If you love sweet scents, take a sniff at this cleanser and it’ll blow your mind away!

Quick tip : take a pea size amount. Add water to make somewhat like a paste. Massage on face while indulging it’s heavenly scent. Rinse off with warm water.
2) Mask of Magnaminty (Face Mask)
This is hands down one of the most popular products from Lush. It consists of peppermint oil to stimulate the skin, marigold oil to treat the skin, evening primrose seeds to gently exfoliate, kaolin to nourish and honey for antibacterial properties.
This mask is suitable for all skin types, whether you’re dry, oily, combination or even acne-prone. It pulls out all the impurities and brightens the skin!

Quick tip : take a good size amount and apply to the face, immediately feel the tingling feeling from the peppermint! Allow to dry for 15-20 minutes. Remove with water by circular motions to obtain exfoliation.
3) Honey I Washed My Hair (Solid Shampoo)
Yes you read that right, it’s a solid shampoo! It consist of wild orange, bergamot oil and honey which gives you soft and shiny hair. It’s an awesome alternative to a regular shampoo because it’s travel friendly! Just toss it in your bag and you’re good to go!

Quick tip : glide it around 3-4 times on your scalp and it lathers instantly!
4) Tea Tree Water (Face Mist)
Great for mopping up those excess oils in the skin. It’s a very good antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial mist that keeps away all those nasty bacteria! Grapefruit is rich in vitamins and juniper berry helps keep skin clean and clear.

Quick tip : use as often as you’d like! After cleansing and before moisturizing is your best bet, but you can always refresh your skin whenever throughout the day! Spraying this on your pillows to keep them fresh and free from bacteria is one way to use this as well.
5) The Experimenter (Bath Bomb)
For those of you who have a bath tub at home, please try one of their bath bombs or bubble bars! This one in particular smells incredible, and it turns your bath into rainbow colours!

Quick tip : throw it into your bath and watch the magic happens ☺

How To Kill People With Kindness?
November 14, 2016
I just realised that yesterday was World Kindness Day. This day is celebrated every 13th November. Maybe it is quite late to share a post on this, but again I just realised my juniors and I discussed about Rasulullah's kindnesses as well yesterday. So, why not sharing them with you guys here :)

Selena Gomez's Kill Em With Kindness.
Have you listened to this song? I'm not a fan of Selena Gomez but I do listen to her songs and find out this one to have affection to me.
Your lies are bullets
Your mouth's a gun
No war and anger
Was ever won
Put out the fire before igniting
Next time you're fighting
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em, kill 'em, kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Kill 'em with kindness
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead now
I am not sure if I've been in any significant backstabbing events, maybe yes and I don't care much. But, I don't want to describe other people's weakness or sins. I personally have a lot of them.
Do we realised that most of quarrels start with arguments? Arguments are good only if they are done in appropriate ways - no hate words or bad words. I do agree that most arguments that we can find online with those b*, s* words (mostly in Twitter) are though-provoking even though I don't like those words. However, I believe the arguments are better to be conveyed in another way - kindness.
There is a story that is very significant to me.
I think you have listened to this, before. Or maybe I've shared in my blog?
There was a blind Jew beggar who always cursed Rasulullah SAW and said that he is a liar. Even though this old blind man don't even know how Prophet Muhammad looks like, he kept on swearing at him. When Rasulullah received the news, he went to visit the old man and helped feeding him every day.
After the death of Rasulullah, the old man kept wondering why the good man did not come to feed him. Rasulullah's companion (Abu Bakr) went to continue Rasulullah's habit towards that old man when suddenly the man got angry at Abu Bakr. He realised the way Abu Bakar feed him was different than Rasulullah.
"No! Do not lie to me! The man was so nice to hold hands, and the food he gave was very easy to chew, because he softened it to me..."
Abu Bakr started to cry and explain that the man who visit the blind man was Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The Jew beggar was shocked and said the syahadah. T_T
A good attitude is the one capturing someone's heart.
We don't have to go that far, just imagine ourselves. Do we want other people to say harsh words or bully us mentally, physically?
Nope.
If yes, there's something wrong with you.
So, why are we doing those bad habits to others?
Kindness Boomerang.
The video above is very famous I am sure you've watched it at least once if your life time. Why not, watch it again?
Kindness is not only verbally, but physically as well.
To help the blind crossing the road is kindness.
To hold the door open for stranger is kindness.
To share the food we have with poor people is kindness.
To help taking care of neighbour's house when he is outstation is kindness.
To make donation is also kindness.
To help our parents with the house core is kindness.
And...
To smile is kindness.
Happy Belated World Kindness Day :)
