In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello there, my precious sweetheart. How are you feeling right now? You're probably all engrossed with business as usual. Don't be so serious, and try to have fun at it. Of course being well-rested helps one's attitude, please make sure you get your sleep. I tried to take a nap before voice training today, but just couldn't lock into Sleepyland. Which would would have helped me through voice training, because I almost put myself into a coma. Those love songs really make me drowsy, especially with my voice bouncing around in my skull at high volume, makes me forget to breathe. But sleep comes when it comes, right? We should at least try. I try to make my schedule conform around sleep. Wouldn't that be nice?
Do you remember that female papaya tree with 3 heads that was growing in my yard? One head fell off, right? Well, the tree fell over yesterday. It was still alive when it fell over, but papaya trees don't live long anyway. I guess I don't need the fruit. It's still super hot around here, but not as bad as before that rainfall a couple of days ago. It's as if God is cranking up the humidity, and teasing us with rainfall, or the lack thereof. I bought a kilo of mackerel yesterday, so I had mackerel sashimi yesterday. For dinner today is Siamese hot sour soup (Tom Yam) with rice vermicelli and mackerel. Delicious. Alhamdulillah. Want some? I love you and I need you.

Qur'an 20160317
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
60. The Truth from your Lord alone, so be not of those who doubt.
61. If anyone disputes in this matter with you now after knowledge has come to you say, "Come! Let us gather together, our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!"
(The Family of Imran 3:61-62)

Hi Precious! Hi Pumpkin! How's business today? I know you are doing absolutely great, just make sure you eat adequately and get plenty of rest. Please maintain your prayers. Always know that I love you and I need you.
Have you seen the Chanel Fall-Winter 2016-17 Ready-to-Wear fashion show? Oh my God, all the clothes are so CUTE! I don't normally watch or endorse fashion shows, but since they put the link right over your head, I couldn't resist going there. This time the collection look unmistakably Chanel, and pretty, modest, and dare I say it... comfortable. It must be all the boots and flats. Can you envision yourself in a beautiful Chanel dress suit? I can. I couldn't afford to wear Chanel even if I could afford it, but I would love to see you in Chanel. I still have this picture in my head of how beautiful you are, giving a tour to the Public Eye of your beautiful new house, and finding me, sleeping on the floor somewhere, in front of a computer. I suppose it would be OK if I were wearing Chanel, but most likely I wouldn't even be wearing underwear. I've always loved Karl Lagerfeld's work with Chanel. Karl-baby and I go waaaaay back, way back to a rather embarrassing period of my life. No, he doesn't know me. Why should he? I'm mysterious.

Hello Beautiful! Hi Gorgeous! How's business today? Are you enjoying all those new contracts? Just be patient, and you will be able to pick and choose whatever work you want inshaAllah, if not already. Just try not to overwork, and give thanks to Allah. I love you and I need you.
There's not much going on here today. I took my motorcycle to the repair shop today because I've been having trouble starting it. The repairman said that I've been driving too slowly, and I need to drive faster. Say what? I do drive slowly, though. My logic is that if I see someone about to ram me, I have time to stop, dodge, or jump off. I guess another logic is that accidents happen regardless, and such is life. From Allah is our origin, and to Allah is our return.
It finally rained after a long dry spell, so I got a chance to burn that trash I had been accumulating. The hot is still very hot and humid, though. I hope it rains some more. I want lots of mango flowers. I don't want a flood though.

Well, I don't have the right beef for stew. All I have is tenderloin, which is a waste in stew. I'm going to have to visit the butcher and get a fatty cut for stew. Potatoes are so cheap right now. I had a hash brown pancake for lunch today, a thick one. I used that ceramic saute pan I recently bought, and it's perfect for flips! I flipped that hash brown pancake perfectly, I was so happy! Ah, a taste of happiness. Alhamdulillah. Simple pleasures, huh?
I want my girl. I want you to know that I love you with all my heart, and I need you. You are my girl, so you are the most beautiful girl in the world to me. As for your body image, you are a pro, so you know what makes you feel good, and thus look good. Don't lose your self-esteem, I say. And stay healthy.
It's been an active day for me. I always spend Sunday mornings cleaning my parents bedroom. I managed a short nap before voice training, but I'll have to admit that a physically active morning wears out my voice, especially when I didn't get much sleep last night. I spent the evening with my chainsaw over at your house inshaAllah. There was this one tree on the west border which leans into the neighbor's yard that I took down. I asked him if it were OK for me to cut that tree down, since it would definitely fall into his yard. He said OK. I didn't want the tree to bother his ducks- he's a duck farmer. I swear I saw an American Mallard among his ducks. Anyway, the tree got stuck in another tree which was on his yard, so I had to throw a rope around the top and pull it down. A tree is a very heavy object, and that was a serious workout. Plus, the activity angered a massive amount of red army ants, and they attacked my balls. Why do they always target my balls? The ducks were laughing at me... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA... I saw my shadow, and it was muscular. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA... Bat Cat was my companion and observer during this endeavor. It was entertaining to see him daintily hop over the swarm of army ants like a ballerina.
Dinner was pizza again. I had run out of marinara sauce, so I had to make some more. I was missing an ingredient (red hot pepper puree) so I substituted that with fresh hot peppers instead. It wasn't the same, but spicier. When you get better at cooking, and thus get a better understanding of the food you eat, you will notice a definite connection between the mind and the stomach. For instance, last night I cooked up some potatoes but instead of making brown gravy, I sprinkled brown gravy powder directly on the potatoes. Flavor and texture wise it was good, but the strange combination gave me heartburn. There were no other ingredients other than oil, onion and black pepper.

I told you people don't like Zam the puppy dog. They prefer Zam the wolf. I would rather be a puppy dog, but what puppy dog can handle everybody hating it?
While I am a recluse, you are magnanimous. You have plenty of friends. Certainly you can't help your past, and you are such a sweetheart. Such a beautiful sweetheart. You are so easy to love. I want you to realize that we are on a spiritual arena, so I ask you not to prefer the friendship of unbelievers over believers. Please choose the side of God. Avoid the friendship of atheists and pagans. If you choose the friendship of atheists and pagans, you will not receive the help of Allah except in matters of treachery. You have plenty of good friends. Now I ask you to try to make one Muslim friend. Besides me, that is.
Potatoes are cheap right now, so dinner is steak and potatoes. How about some potatoes, Irish? My kittens always go berserk when I cook up a steak, but I distract them by allowing them to lick the pan. I haven't made stew in years. Would you like some stew, made with love and need for you? I'm the one who loves you and needs you.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
29. Say, "Whether you hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all. God knows what is in the heavens, and what is on earth, and Allah has power over all things."
30. On the day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil. But Allah cautions you Godself, and Allah is full of kindness to those that serve God.
31. Say, "If you do love Allah, follow me. Allah will love you and forgive you your sins, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, most Merciful."
32. Say, "Obey Allah and God's messenger." But if they turn back, Allah loves not those who reject faith.
