Ramadan Mubarak

October 15th, 2004 · No Comments

Today, the ninth month of the Hijira Calendar, Ramadan starts. Ramadan is the month of fast, Muslims are encouraged to refrain from food, drinks and I think sex also in between the Fajr (sunrise prayer) and Magreb (sunset prayer).

Yesterday, our Project coordinator visited me in my office, ’twas a short visit. Kinulit ko siya about my upcoming “vacation”. I filed a resignation about a month ago and he wants to negotiate.
