Letter to Julia 20131130

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

My little Batty-Watty Bat Cat is all grown up!  *sob*  He's become a full grown cat now, and he doesn't play around and isn't mischievous anymore, and he sneers at all the females that are not in heat.  All business.  There's nothing wrong with his health, he still has a tremendous appetite.  It's his attitude.  It's like he's turned into the Godfather.

As you can tell, I'm still typing in my letter live.  I hate it, because I have to be blunt and extra cautious of saying something that would hurt your precious feelings.   I love you with all my heart.

My dearest, beautiful Julia.  The crisis of ownership over Casa de Julia is not over yet.  And to be practical, the crisis will not be over until the title is in my name.  But please don't worry.  Please pray that Allah grants success and happiness in our marriage with promptness and ease.  I love you, Julia.

Oh Erin, I still haven't seen the latest VS fashion show.  It's not on the Internet yet.  I can't wait to see how beautiful and ravishing you are.  I love you, Erin.

Letter to Julia 20131127

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

My dearest and beloved Julia, please don't be saddened about your house.  If it be destined that Allah brings us together in marriage, that would include your house, right?  Normally, the situation is something I would get loud and aggressive about, but this time it's best to be patient.  I love you so much, my Julia.  Please call upon Allah in humility and in private.

Have you been in a rather silly mood lately, Erin?  I'm quite a silly person myself at times.  Just to lighten up the seriousness of it all.  Could you please be serious just for a moment, and pray for Julia's house?  I love you, Erin.  But here's a little video to help make you and Julia smile.

Letter to Julia 20131125

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hello there, my dearest Julia and Erin.  How are your precious emotions today?  So valuable are your feelings, the world knows.  So valuable to me, for I love you.  My usual Internet cafe is shut down (supposedly momentarily), so I'm at this new place, having to type in my love for you live because the computers here reject my USB drive.  I hope I don't have to upload or download anything.  I also hope I don't say anything to hurt your feelings, because I usually get to ponder on my letters and edit them before I go out to post.  If I do make an error, please forgive me.

My beloved Julia, you are my most dignified princess, and I love you so much.  Your polished and intense beauty elevates my heart.  I have been chopping down large trees around Casa de Julia inshaAllah, and I have been using the heavy logs to block off the driveway to the compound so that unwanted vehicles do not enter.  Well, at least make it very inconvenient for them to enter.  I think I'll put 2 more heavy logs there.  Perhaps you are aware that some unmentionables are trying to take over your house.  I'm handicapped by my poverty, so I can't buy the property yet.  I want you to pray that Allah helps and protects us, and that I get to build Casa de Julia for you with incredible ease.  Please pray.  I love you Julia.

My sweet Erin.  Yes, you are very sweet to me.  I adore you for your sweetness and your precious pure heart.  Did you know your emotions show in your face and your body?  Your precious, pure heart.  I love you, and I want to embrace and protect you.  However, Allah is the Best to protect.  I don't ever want you to feel abandoned.  I want you to always know that you are loved, and when the time comes I will take you into our house as my wife.  InshaAllah.  Please pray also that Allah helps and protects us, and that I get to build Casa de Julia with tremendous ease.

Qur'an 20131124

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

32. Say, "Who has forbidden the beauty of Allah, which God has produced for God's servants, and the things, clean and pure, for sustenance?" Say, "They are. in the life of this world, for those who believe, purely for them on the Day of Judgment." Thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who understand.

33. Say, "The things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret, sins and trespasses against truth or reason, assigning of partners to Allah, for which God has given no authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge."

34. To every people is a term appointed. When their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor can they advance.

The Heights 7:32-34

They are. in the life of this world, for those who believe, purely for them on the Day of Judgment.

The things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret, sins and trespasses against truth or reason, assigning of partners to Allah, for which God has given no authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi there my beloved Julia and Erin.

I my usual Internet cafe is shut down for a while, so I probably won't be blogging much in the near future.  Plus, it's been raining every day, so commute is difficult.  It doesn't mean that I love you less, no I love you even more every day.

I suppose I have to say something to remember JFK.  He wasn't an angel, but neither is any human.  It means a lot to me that he tried to return to the gold standard.  But I don't believe he would have made much difference had he survived.  The machine was already set in motion, and the corruption was handed down to the next generation, and the next.  Please know and remember, that the righteous try to slow down Judgement Day, not speed it up.


Qur'an 20131123

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

28. When they do something that is shameful, they say, "We found our fathers doing so," and "Allah commanded us thus." Say, "No, Allah never commands what is shameful. Do you say of Allah what you know not?"

29. Say, "My Lord has commanded justice, and that you set your whole selves at every time and place of prayer, and call upon God, making your devotion sincere as in God's sight. Such as God created you in the beginning, so shall you return."

30. Some God has guided. Others have deserved the loss of their way, in that they took the evil ones, in preference to Allah, for their friends and protectors, and think that they receive guidance.

The Heights 7:28-30
----------------------------------------------------------
No, Allah never commands what is shameful. Do you say of Allah what you know not?

My Lord has commanded justice, and that you set your whole selves at every time and place of prayer, and call upon God, making your devotion sincere as in God's sight. Such as God created you in the beginning, so shall you return.

Letter to Julia 20131121

Hey there, my awesomely gorgeous Rock and Roll babes!  How are those emotions today?  I love you with all my heart.  The weather here is cold and rain, rain, rain.  It's been raining all day.  The sliced cheese turned out a success as cheese spread when rolled around and squished in my hand.  Australian cheese is cheaper I guess, because it's closer to here than the USA or Europe.  But I suppose it's not enough for cheesecake.  The paste I made from the mustard powder is an excellent substitute for wasabi.  Too bad my baby squid is already 3 days old, so I didn't enjoy it as much.  I think I'll use the rest for a squid and mackerel liver omelet tomorrow.

OK let's get back to the topic of Julia's laundry.  And it's not just about the clothes dryer.  There's also the oven, boiler, backup power, etc.  Of course, we could tolerate our living conditions just like everybody else here, but why not be progressive?  Why not make a solution that could help make the lives of others easier inshaAllah?  My answer to the lack of gas pipelines here is the LPG (low pressure gas) cylinder.  LPG cylinders in Malaysia are about 10 to 12 kilos each, which is a lot of gas, and each house has at least one.  Not the same size as in India and some other countries, but let's focus on Malaysia.  All LPG cylinders are controlled by regulators, which ensures that the gas flow is consistent.  The gas intake for gas-powered appliances in the West is a permanent fixture.  So instead of the permanent fixture, there could be a nozzle similar to the nozzle on the regulator, which would fit a rubber hose.  Now the gas pressure would most likely be less than the gas pressure of the typical Western gas pipeline, but so what if the flame inside the appliance be smaller?  Just change the numbering on the thermostat.  And so what if the gas runs out?  Just change the LPG cylinder.
