Hello Sweetheart! How's it going, Gorgeous? Are you staying busy? I'm sure you are, so please make sure you look after yourself properly, for you and for me. I love you, and I need you.
Today is pizza day over here. Being by myself, I used to make one pizza at a time. Nowadays, I make 3 pizzas at a time. Knowledge and experience makes a pizza taste good, because obviously I don't have a professional oven in my humble home, plus the limitation of ingredients due to budget. Sliced cheese instead of mozzarella, for example. I made a chicken and pineapple pizza for my parents. My Mom requested chicken and pineapple toppings this time. Then I delivered a sausage and basil pizza to Ina at her restaurant. In return, she gave me a tupperware of spicy chilli sauce. Great for everything rice or soup. Ironically, I swore that I would never make another pizza ever again after quitting the pizza joint due to a foot injury. I guess God knows better. Praise be to Allah.

Qur'an 20160102
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
1. Say, "God is Allah, the One and Only."
2. Allah the Eternal, Absolute.
3. God begets not, nor is God begotten.
4. And there is none like unto God.

Happy New Year! Hey Baby, Hey Baby! I love you and I need you. I don't really have any New Year resolutions. How about you? I would really appreciate and respect that you keep your nose clean and stop drinking those weird tasting beverages. Being at the top is lonely enough, you need all your wits to be Queen. But relax, Sweetie. I'm with you. You're MY girl!
Like I said, I don't have any resolutions for the new year. I'm sure I have bad habits, but none that make me unrighteous and unfaithful inshaAllah. I am stressing about your birthday present. What to do? I obviously I can't buy something and give it to you. I need to give you a ring first. So unless it rains money on me, I hope you don't mind something virtual. And simple. I know you would want me to take it up a notch or whatever, but things are looney enough as it is. How about something stable and predictable instead? Please?

Hello there! Hi there! Time ticks on, and I'm still not married. You are my girl. I love you and I want to marry you. I need you.
Alas, I have no power. The proof of that is that I have no money. I have no money to build your house, so I have no power. I have no money to buy musical instruments, so I have no power. I am like a caged ape being fed reasons to live every once in a while. I have no power. Allah has all the power.
I hang my trash on a nail on the wall at about eye level. Like a caveman, huh? But some vicious beasts have figured out that they can jump high and hang on to the trash bag with their claws, and rip the bag open. So now I have to keep my trash in a bin on the floor with a lid on it. Menacing varmints are forcing me to be civilized.

Hello, beautiful girl! You are my girl, and I love you so. Please stay blonde for me, because I prefer blondes. I need you.
I spent the evening hacking away at the tree on the roof of the old house sitting on the space where I will build your house inshaAllah. It's taking a long time, yeah I know. A tree is a very heavy object, and it's difficult to swing a machete upwards over my head. Every blow landed diagonally on the trunk, so I had no choice but to use my left hand also, which is bad in aim. I managed to get only one branch down today, but there is only one branch left. Then there's a bigger tree on top of the roof on the other side of the house.
My Dad gave some good sized hardtail scad this morning, so I had that for lunch. The back had been cut open, so I chopped off the heads and tails. Slicing the back open is a procedure for stuffing, but I didn't stuff the fish. I smothered the insides with tom yam paste (tom yam is a tamarind-based Siamese hot sour soup) with salt and ground cilantro, and fried it up. Alhamdulillah. Delicious. A success. You must try some. Dinner was half pitas stuffed with steak and potatoes in brown gravy. Alhamdulillah. Delicious and filling.

**yawn** Please close your mouth with your hand when you yawn. I almost put myself to sleep during voice training today. It happens, part of the job. I had to take quick naps in the middle of my set more than once before. Make sure you nap too, OK? Don't give up your dreams, Dreamer Girl. I love you and I need you.
I was busy all day today. I had to pick some eye drops at the hospital for my Dad, and some eye drops for me at the pharmacy. Then I drove around on my Dad's motorcycle to look for parts for my motorcycle. It's running OK now, alhamdulillah. I had lunch over at Omar's stall, across from the courthouse complex. My usual, which is rice vermicelli in soup. Omar is very serious about his soup. I asked him if his wife happened to cook the soup today, and I got scowled at.
I was cooking up a steak for dinner, when my Dad gave me something else for dinner. There's this restaurant down the road on the way to the golf course that sells flat noodles fried like pancakes, then you pour this really thick soup on top of it. Very delicious, and very well done. I enjoyed that while watching "Airplane 2" dubbed in Russian. That reminds me, I have to do some encoding tonight. Part of the work of running the best TV station in the world mashaAllah.
