YOOOOOOLIIIIIEEEEE!!!!

Oh dearest Julia my beloved beauty, I've suddenly got the sniffles. **sniffle** It also seems like I might have to take Chee Cheah in for another antifungal shot. Seems like she's gained some weight, as well. She was once a dainty litlle kitty, I must have spoiled her too much. It's been raining almost non stop for the past 3 days, but there was anough of a break for me to write yesterday's letter. And today's letter, obviously.

Perhaps you wonder why skeptics remain skeptics despite all the Signs of God that are obvious to people of faith. All populations will be destroyed before Judgement Day, that is certain. God only sends Signs by way of fear, but it only increases their transgression. Then God refrains from sending Signs because they were treated as false. The only thing left is for the people to get wiped out by God. You've seen the ruins of cities, haven't you?

Since I am alone and unmarried right now, it is rather easy to stick to a budget, even though my income is far beyond pathetic. Knowing how to cook for myself really helps, and Chee Cheah is my only dependent, and she doesn't have professional, entertainment, apparel, transportation and education expenses. In fact, she eats like a King Cat since I can't afford to buy her packaged cat food. Today she ate nothing but fried fish heads. Fish heads galore! She's also quite healthy for a kitty: I've only had to take her in for antifungal shots, and the last one was 3 months ago, Besides the sinus congestions I sometimes get, Allah has blessed us both with good health, alhamdulillah.

Even if I had money, I believe I have learned not to spend just for the sake of spending, insyaAllah. I know I'm not pretty, so I wouldn't spend much of anything on vanity. Perhaps some new clothes and boots, when my cargo pants and jungle boots get too worn out from gardening. I really like those cop boots, you know the type those motorcycle cops wear. I wonder how they'll work for gardening? I also prefer a small house. Right now I sleep on the floor, and I don't receive guests because I have no friends, so I don't have any furniture other than kitchen cabinets, closets and the occasional chair and table. My profession is entertainment, so those 2 expenses are one, but it would be substantially larger than an average person's expense because of the need for research. My having no vanity means that I won't need flashy cars. I would use the motorcycle most of the time anyway, and if I feel the urge to drive fast then I just play GTA. I'm sick of traveling, so I would have limited travel expenses. I would certainly spend more on ingredients, because I enjoy cooking at leisure, and I like my own cooking. I might even order live cattle from USA or Japan to be slaughtered here, plus build a walk-in cooler for my cheese collection and the occasional salmon. Is that extravagant? I don't know. I would definitely donate some of that meat to the poor, I would prefer to eat the cheese than to show it off, and the local seafood is superior in quality to the rest of the world as it is, as long as the environment remains clean. Between all that, I have to give in charity and worship to Allah. Every other expense is all about you, so I pray you have a disciplined budget. We Muslims must not be spendthrifts and wasteful, so I would appreciate you to be respectful in that as well.

Anyway, when you speak, please speak for the best. You are a role model, for people you may not see or hear, and some of them are very small. And you are my girl, and I love you. Please be patient, maintain your prayers.

Qur'an 20111123

I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the rejected.
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

41. We have explained variously in this Qur'an, in order that they may receive admonition, but it only increases their flight.

42. Say, "If there had been gods with God as they say, behold! They would certainly have sought out a way to the Lord of the Throne!"

43. Glory to God! God is high above all that they say, Exalted and Great!

44. The seven heavens and the earth, and all beings therein,, declare God's glory. There is not a thing but celebrates God's praise, and yet you understand not how they declare God's glory! Verily God is Oft-Forbearing, most Forgiving.

45. When you do recite the Qur'an, We put between you and those who believe not in the Hereafter, a veil invisible.

46. And We put coverings over their hearts lest they should understand the Qur'an, and deafness into their ears. When you do commemorate your Lord and God alone in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs, fleeing!

47. We know best why it is they listen when they listen to you, and when they meet in private conference, behold! The wicked say, "You follow none other than a man bewitched!"

48. See what similes they strike for you, but they have gone astray, and never can they find a way.

49. They say, "What? When we are reduced to bones and dust, should we really be raised up, a new creation?"

50. Say, "Be you stones, or iron!"

51. Or created matter which, in your minds, is hardest. Then will they say, "Who will cause us to return?" Say, "God, who created you first!" Then will they wag their heads towards you and say, "When will that be?" Say, "Maybe it will be quite soon!"

52. It will be on a day when God will call you, and you will answer with God's praise, and you will think you tarried but a little while!

53. Say to Our servants that they should say those things that are best, for Satan does sow dissensions among them, for Satan is to humans an avowed enemy.

54. It is your Lord that knows you best. If God please, God grants you mercy, or if God please, punishment. We have not sent you to be a disposer of their affairs for them.

55. And it is your Lord that knows best all beings that are in the heavens and on earth. We did bestow on some prophets more gifts than on others, and We gave to David the Psalms.

56. Say, "Call on those, besides God, whom you fancy. They have neither the power to remove your troubles from you, nor to change them."

The Night Journey 17:41-56

If there had been gods with God as they say, behold! They would certainly have sought out a way to the Lord of the Throne!

Be you stones, or iron!

God, who created you first!

Maybe it will be quite soon!

Call on those, besides God, whom you fancy. They have neither the power to remove your troubles from you, nor to change them.

So, this old soldier remains a soldier. In the past I probably would have felt despair at my still having to fight, but today there is so much evil saturated into the entertainment business that I would feel wrong if I didn't give their shit back to them. InsyaAllah, all their routines and formulas will become unprofitable, or great losses, and they become the object of drama in a reality series.

Then there's my princess. Our love is spiritual, y'know? I fight towards you for our sacred love, for the glory of Allah. We simply must not allow ourselves to be oppressed, can we? You are my girl, Julia. Of course I love you.

Letter to Julia 20111119

Today, I have been thinking about the chains that bind you, about your imprisonment. It is your work that imprisons you. Do you feel like a prisoner? What is it that makes us normal? It is the drive to find happiness, in love and marriage. But you are MY girl, I am the one one wishes to marry you. Therefore, you are sucked into the matrix that is my life. We can only be where Allah puts us, so really I'm not to blame, insyaAllah. Or would you rather be a prisoner, and not know it? Ignorance is not bliss in matters of oppression. One would only drive to jump off a skyscraper with diamonds around the neck.

But you don't worry so much about it, because you get to be the princess, and wait for this knight in armor of shadow to come release you, and we will live happily ever after together, insyaAllah. We are pawns in a play unfolding itself, which is Judgement Day, so let us be servants of Allah. So pray.

Thus, this is a historical situation, where those that Allah has granted affluence and power use their gifts to commit oppression. We all have some bad habits, but don't you agree that affluence and power amplify those bad habits to an nth degree? People with disregard and disrespect for God do get their dues in this life as well as the hereafter. Hitler was a pagan and a loser with an agenda of revenge, but what good will revenge against Hitler do now? It will only serve to harm the innocent. Again, we all have bad habits, but we can focus on eliminating the worst of our deeds, and pray for good instead of evil. For if we revert to evil, then Allah will make history repeat itself.

Hi there, you sexy thing! You better had be modest and hide your beauty, because you are so gorgeous. Yeah, it's true that i want you all to myself, because you're MY girl. But we have to be patient, my love. As Muslims, if there's anything that we want, or any help that we need, then we have to ask Allah for it with prayer, and be patient and persevering. And I want you. My beloved Julia.

Now Julia, the supernatural is actually quite simple to understand, and once you do understand the supernatural, then you will know the correct place to put your fear. There is not one, but two dominant races on Earth. The first is the human race, made of earth and water. The second is the jinn race, made of fire. Not all jinns are bad or evil, kind of like that not all ghosts are bad or evil, and not all humans are bad or evil. There are jinns that worship Allah, and they pray, and do good deeds. Then there are jinns that trick and torment humans, especially the humans that have incorrect faith. Satan is a member of the jinn race. When God created Adam, the first human, Satan refused to bow to Adam when God ordered him to, because Satan felt himself superior to humans. God banished Satan, and Satan vowed to destroy Adam and all humans. Satan then tricked Adam and Eve to eat of the forbidden tree, and God banished both the human and the jinn races to Earth until Judgement Day. Satan was granted respite by God even though Satan swore to destroy all humans, but God will save those who are faithful to and guided by God. So, put your fear in Allah. It's easy for skeptics to be tricked by illusions and audio-visual hallucinations caused by variations of thermal energy because of their arrogance in their perceived human superiority, but YOU put your fear in God. You do not follow Satan and his cohorts, when he whispers into your thoughts and emotions. And do not say things about Allah that you do not understand.

Well, it's about time that I cooked up those ribs I got from the Eid sacrifice. I should have boiled them, but I thought that pan-frying them twice would loosen the meat enough. So, I fried them once until the meat was cooked, then I put barbecue sauce on them then stuck them in the cooler to marinade. Then I fried them again in butter, adding more barbecue sauce and blackening them each time I turned them, which was about 4-5 times. I would have grilled them on a charcoal fire, but my grill disintegrated from all the rainfall. Thus, I had to create a similar effect on a frying pan. Nothing can replace the flavor of an open fire, though. Ah, I love beef bones. Next time, I'll boil the ribs first. Barbecue sauce? I think Malaysia has the edge on the USA when it comes to barbecue sauce. So many options to choose from, while in the USA it's always that same old tomato paste, spices and sweetener combo. This time, I used a tamarind and chilli base, for a sour spicy sauce. Ah, alhamdulillah. Even though I should have boiled the bones, I felt I had something good going when Chee Cheah went berserk while I was cooking. Of course, I gave my Dad a bone too.

So, I hope you are eating properly. Remember that as my girl, you are automatically an endorser of food products. Don't forget the basics: no pig, no blood, no carrion, and you must not eat food which is offered for pagan rituals, or food that in which the name of others than Allah has been invoked. Before the first bite say, "In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful," for Allah is the One who provides all sustenance, but is not fed. Just try your best with the circumstance that Allah has put you in, for Allah is Lenient and Forgiving, and knows all that you think, feel, and undertake. Perhaps in your spare time you are experimenting with cooking. I have a feeling you are. Just remember that I have a sensitive stomach, so please practise with pure and fresh ingredients, and a medium fire. Be patient, and avoid overly processed foods! I guess at this point you won't be able to cook in private, let alone go to restaurants without being observed. So please have fun while you experiment with food, but most of all, please eat properly, and be grateful to Allah for the great beauty that God has given you, by taking good care of your body. Please join me in Islam my beloved, and let's share our life and afterlife together.
