Murano Italiano !

Earlier this week the rainy skies parted for just long enough that I was able to enjoy my day trip to Murano and Burano in dry weather…mostly.

I was feeling much more excited buying my tickets this time- luckily, since I was travelling solo. Well, I must have done something right, because as I stood at the bus stop with my bus pass in hand, I was approached by a couple and they asked me where I bought my ticket…in Italian. I was mentally preparing my answer, when they asked politely if I speak English. WHY YES! Yes, I Do! Hooray! I was elated to be able to explain in detail where the newspaper shop was and how to buy them.

If you find yourself planning a trip to Venice, I definitely recommend spending a few hours taking the tour of Murano and Burano. Aside from learning about the craftsmanship that goes into the glass and lace from the area, the journey to get there and back is worth the money in itself.

From San Zaccaria vapretto stop (water bus) your tour group of 6-8 people boards a water taxi and you get to ride through the Grand Canal out to the lagoon and make your way to Murano for the glass factory tour. The trip is about 20 minutes, and the guide gives a good amount of interesting information about the lagoon.

Once I arrived at Murano, I got to go straight into the glass factory to watch the craftsmen at work. It is so incredibly hot in there, and I couldn’t help but laugh that they were smoking while they worked. The process is so incredibly precise.

It was more suited to strolling aimlessly and taking photos than to paying close attention to where you’re going. Very enjoyable. It would be worth a trip to Murano all on its own.

All in all, I had a perfectly lovely day.

Clinical Study Design

Hi ! For today I'll post academic's things k. I just want to share to you my notes with you guys. Alhamdulillah I managed to get an A that day but this only apart of my notes k - 

Clinical Study Design.

This is the additional note. i love to write repeatedly :D

Cross-sectional studies describe the relationship between diseases and other factors at one point in time in a defined population. Cross sectional studies lack any information on timing of exposure and outcome relationships and include only prevalent cases.  They are often used for comparing diagnostic tests. 

Case control studies are studies in which patients who already have a specific condition are compared with people who do not have the condition. The researcher looks back to identify factors or exposures that might be associated with the illness.  They often rely on medical records and patient recall for data collection. These types of studies are often less reliable than randomized controlled trials and cohort studies because showing a statistical relationship does not mean than one factor necessarily caused the other.

Cohort studies identify a group of patients who are already taking a particular treatment or have an exposure, follow them forward over time, and then compare their outcomes with a similar group that has not been affected by the treatment or exposure being studied. Cohort studies are observational and not as reliable as randomized controlled studies, since the two groups may differ in ways other than in the variable under study. 

Any question regarding these notes feel free to ask me. Hahah. InshaAllah I'll try my best to help you guys!

Don't Be Sad : Allah Knows

I was having a bad day, but Allah makes everything better. Ya Allah please help those who seek for your help and your advice. Alhamdullilah for everything :)

Allah gives the more faithful people harder tests so in the end they get a better reward. The more harder life gets the more you grow close to Allah.

Allah plan are always greater than ours. Sabr and have faith. Never stop du'a tho the trials is getting tougher each second. Believe on the reward that He already promised to those people who always sabr.

Please keep faith and hold on. 

I ask you to keep on praying to Allah (swt). He knows your pain, he knows what you are going through and DONT FORGET He said that he will never burden a soul more than it can take. THIS IS A BLESSING. PLEASE GET CLOSER TO ALLAH (SWT). Our lord, the highest, the light, the all hearing, the all seeing, the most merciful, the most beneficial, the everlasting, the beginning and the end.

This world is temporary. WE ARE ONLY HERE FOR A SHORT WHILE.

REMEMBER man is in a state of LOSS except for those who are TRUTHFUL and those who are PATIENT. if you are patient, you will see, ALLAH will reward you in this WORLD and the HEREAFTER. 

KEEP FAITH, KEEP PRAYING and ABOVE ALL ELSE KEEP reciting DUA.

What I Do When I Feel Like Giving Up

Week after week. Month after month. Year after year.

But today? Well, today I am struggling. Today, I don’t feel like writing. Today, I don’t feel like sticking to the routine. Today, I feel like giving up. Seriously :(
It’s so easy to consider giving up when we live with daily pain, to just let the world go by and not face the day. 

Have you ever felt that you just couldn’t take it anymore? Have you ever considered giving up and giving into the pain, to the side effects that go along with the medicines you have to take?

The choice we must make is how we are going to handle our day. For me, it’s often tempting just to stay in bed and pull the covers back over my head and try to forget life. However, I know that while it sounds like a good way to escape, it’s not really the best for me.

It allows me to lay there and focus on my problems instead of getting up and relying on God to help me get through the day. Feeling sorry for myself just feeds my self-pity and my sense of hopelessness about the future.

The problem is He is often the last resort we turn to when we feel like giving up. It’s much easier to take that pain pill or, like me, try to sleep through it all.

God wants us to turn to Him when we feel we cannot endure another moment. He wants us to cry out to Him in our suffering and our discomfort. He desires to be the one that soothes us, that gives us solace, that holds us in His arms and quietly rocks us back and forth.

He wants us to learn, deep down, that He is the one we need to rely on.It can be so hard to remember that God really loves us when we’re in the midst of mind-numbing pain or are dealing with another day of not being able to sleep. But, He does love us and He is waiting to show you.


All you need to do is cry out to Him and ask Him to comfort you. He may not take away the pain or the sickness, but I have discovered that He will give you the comfort you need for that moment. And for the next moment. And, also for the next moment.

So, what do I do when I feel like giving up? I show up.


Do I show up at my best? I doubt it. But my job isn’t to judge how good or how bad I am
