A tour Around Jolo, Sulu

Image
  Assalamu Alaykum! (Peace be with you!) I just realized... I haven't talked much about my videos about Sulu in this blog. I have a playlist which you can watch if you are interested in seeing (or maybe visiting?) my dear homeplace.  Just check it out here: JOLO, SULU PLAYLIST You can watch this instead:      Yup, that is all for today.   PS. I am mulling over the idea of transferring my blog from blogspot to wordpress...  hmmmmmm    

Why A.Hajiri? (old)


Why AHajiri?

Original Article can still be accessed here.


Why AIMD?

        AIMD is the abbreviation for Anak Iluh sung Mag-Duktur” (literally translated: An orphaned child who wanted to become a doctor someday). This blog was known as "Anak-iluh" then "Anakiluh blog" then "Anakiluh, MD" and eventually "AIMD" for 6 years until the author finally (again) changed its name to "Ahmad ibnu Hajiri" or "A.Hajiri".


What’s this all about? (Content)

A.Hajiri Blog is a collection of essays and write-ups by Ahmad, a young Tausug Blogger (and a big dreamer) from Sulu. Most of the contents in this blog would revolve around any one of the following topics:
  • Personal experiences on: Life of a medstudent, being a Tausug youth, being a Muslim, and the daily things that may or may not have important lessons in the author's own simple life;
  • Anything about Sulu (Hidden history, places, etc.) and the Tausugs (language, traits, traditions, etc.);
  • Some topics on Islam (answers to common questions by non-Muslims); and
  • A lot of random essays 

So, why was A.Hajiri created, again? (Purpose)

A.Hajiri is trying to meet the following purposes (yes, may purpose na rin ang blog na to, finally): In sha Allah to:
  •  Share the author’s thoughts, ideas, experiences, and opinions;
  • Promote Sulu’s hidden beauty
  • Eradicate common misconception on Sulu, Islam, the Tausugs, and the Muslims as a whole;
  • Promote the culture of “seeking for knowledge and struggle for change” in the hearts of the Tausug youths;
  • An avenue for the author to practice and improve his writing skills;
  •  Just an avenue to release the tension within a frustrated writer’s works;

Salam Kasilasa!
