In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Let me repeat myself regarding this matter, because it's important. So you are super busy nowadays, but you must not miss your sleep. Beauty sleep. You will find that sleep doesn't coincide with free time. Don't take drugs to stay awake or fall asleep. Take as many naps as possible. Don't force yourself to nap, but take a nap when you get drowsy. Who cares what people think, trust what you feel. Excuse yourself, find a chair, close your eyes, and dream. Don't try to sleep first, go straight into the dream. Say to people, "I've been working all the time lately so I'm a bit drowsy right now. Please excuse me while I take a short nap." I'll have to admit that it irritates me that people expect you to work and work and work without considering whether you or not you are weary. I want you to take good care of yourself, because I love you and I need you.
I made a couple of pizzas for my parents today for their wedding anniversary. Making a pizza at home takes much longer than on a pizza line in a restaurant. The most important part of the pizza is the crust. I had a good batch of dough, already portioned into tortillas, so each dough ball would make a good 8" pizza crust. First I had to cook it on a flat pan to keep its shape, then I deep fry it to give it texture and color. Then I put the sauce and toppings. Today it's home made halal beef sausage and chopped basil, so I had to bake the pizza once to cook the sausage. Don't precook the meat! It has to cook on the pizza for it to taste awesome. It's the grease oozing out on the bread that's tasty. When that's done, then the cheese goes on. This is because I'm only budgeted for sliced cheese. Bake the pizza again, only to melt the cheese. Cheese is important of course, but what to do when the cheese is cheap? At least the pizza tastes good. Alhamdulillah.

I hope you are keeping your nose clean. Please! I understand you're busy and you need to stay awake, but nothing is a substitute for sleep. The stuff might keep you awake, but that's not a good reason to use it. Since it's an unregulated drug, the product isn't screened for Coca worms. No one talks about Coca worms because it would affect business. Yes, besides robbing you of your beauty and making you look like beef jerky, the stuff may infect you with the dreaded Coca worm. No, that wriggling around in your sinuses is neither a nose hair nor a booger, even though it looks like white, sticky booger. Just pray that it doesn't go out the back way, and you have to swallow it. Ew!
But seriously, I want you to take good care of yourself, not just because you're a role model, but because you are my girl, and I love you and need you. If you're busy, find a way to nap as much as possible. We're all of us waiting around for somebody or something so while you wait, find a chair and shut your eyes and dream for five minutes or longer. It makes a huge difference, trust me.
Bob Cat got himself a mate! I saw her while I was on the way back from night market. They were hanging out together over at your house inshaAllah. She has a white snout, chest and belly like Bobby's mother and sisters, but darker markings overall. I didn't get a close look at her because I didn't want to bother the love cats. Isn't that cute?
Today December 8 is my Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary. I'll be making them a pizza. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Hi Sweetheart! Hello Darling! Are you feeling better today? I'm so glad. Just be sure that I am with you always, and I think of you always, and that I love you and I need you. Not just words, I really do love you. You're MY girl.
I don't want you to give up your exercise, especially now that you are more successful than ever. It's so easy to just let go, and turn into a blob. I'm sorely tempted myself sometimes. I had to do a lot of house cleaning this morning, so I had no desire to do my workout today. I will tomorrow inshaAllah. But I try stay physically active despite that. All you have to do is be beautiful and love to watch sports. So stay fit, OK?
After watching "Rise of the Tomb Raider", I noticed the current method of acting, or rather utilizing actors, that is in video games. In this case the video game is scripted into a movie, a spectacular movie at that. I have a feeling that this is the future of movies. And as an actor, you don't have to do stunts or go to location. The computer does that for you, so that makes this kind of work far less hazardous than the standard film making process. Plus, the computer does your make up for you, so you will always look flawless. Lara Croft looked great at all times, no matter what she did in the movie. Reality is always stranger than fiction though, so this type of gaming or film making will have to dip into the real world eventually, or at least try to bend reality into its world.

Hello there, busy and beautiful! How's business? Are you bundling up and staying warm? I want you to look after yourself properly, because I love you OK? And I need you. You're my girl! So when you tilt your head to one side and start talking too seriously to people, that's the time to find a seat and take a nap. That's what I do when I have wait in line.
Oh, please slow down on those weird tasting beverages! I know we're not married yet, but please work towards being drug and alcohol free. Please keep your nose clean. You never know if you may get quietly and suddenly hooked. It happens easily, and all the time. Please please please stay clean.
Yeah, I know that this time of the year it gets super busy and there's all that food displayed in front of you. But I'm not there to control you, so all I have to rein you in are words. So please forgive me. You poor little Sweetheart, I love you so much! Just don't eat so much, and don't leave out your exercise. You are my soul mate, and I am with you with every bite you take inshaAllah. I don't want you to let yourself go, because I won't let you go. Don't overdo the dieting either. Just eat the perfect amount, OK?

Whew! I'm full. My Mom seems to have a lot of leftover curry lately, everyday. Razak Curry House sells the best curry in town, and I had a lot of it. I also just made a batch of dough, and it's excellent quality. Alhamdulillah. So I fried up a whole lot of breadsticks, and had them swimming in great curry. Totally awesome. You must try some.
Hey you, don't be blue. I love you, and I need you. I won't abandon you, inshaAllah. You're my girl. So please be patient, and pray.
My Bat Cat is what I could describe as an intellectual cat. He's not a brawler like Bob Cat, he just watches and analyzes from a distance. He just loves to dig up dirty secrets, so sometimes people throw rocks at him. Today he got in trouble with another cat for the first time. Someone stuck a claw in his right bicep, so he was limping all morning. I disinfected the wound with some rubbing alcohol, and now he's putting weight on the foot again. So I guess he's OK. I suppose the intellectuals aren't too smart to avoid fights with the bruisers sometimes.
Well, next up I have to practice bass and watch the latest Tomb Raider movie, "Rise of the Tomb Raider." That dangerous girl with the powerful hands. The story isn't as gripping as the previous Tomb Raider movie (Tomb Raider 2013), but the graphics are much superior, absolutely enchanting to watch. Here, watch it with me.

Are you having fun yet? Otherwise, it must be a heavy burden to be so beautiful and have so much political influence. Please stay blonde, OK? I prefer blondes. You're my girl! I love you, and I need you.
I hate politics. Gag! I remember when I cast my vote in the last General Elections here in Malaysia. My vote wasn't secret. Right after I cast my vote, thugs from the opposing party were following me around. The best I could do was to keep my vote to myself until I cast it. Fame is not a blessing. I give my fame to Allah. Let the people pay attention to and idolize Allah. I was watching "784 Days of Watergate" hosted by Nancy Dickerson and "Watergate: Secrets of the Dead" by Dick Cavett on Shadowplay TV last night. Nixon got re-elected by a landslide. I was thinking, if the people chose a crook before, then they'll choose a crook again.

How's it going over there? How's business? Yeah, I know that it's political season over there, but you're not a politician's wife. Just because people want you to play politics, doesn't mean that it's your job to do so. You don't have to say anything at all to them. You are a musician's wife. A Muslim musician's wife. All you have to be is chaste and beautiful. Please pray. I love you, and I need you.
Boy, it was hot today. Hot hot HOT! Sweating in the AC. I'm sure it's cold over there, so bundle up. Or would you rather be here? I finally got a chance to do some yard work, because it had been raining every day. I have to replant and reorganize my tomatoes, because they don't like the spot I put them in. That spot had been infested with tiny white moths, which are immune to bug spray for some reason. Hmmm, I wonder if moth balls would work? The moths don't like sunlight, so I have to move the tomatoes where they can get a little sunshine. Dinner is noodles in marinara sauce with fresh tomatoes. Sorry, no cheese.
Please make a donation of a minimum of one US dollar or one Euro to a worthwhile charity.
