Hi Honey

I'm writing a little later than usual.  I was about to write just now, but I was so drowsy I had to take a nap first.  Today is Sunday, and I always clean my mother's bedroom in the morning.  I was going to make some fried noodles for lunch, but then my Mom gave me some fish curry so I fried up some pocket bread instead to eat with the curry.  Right now it's almost time for voice training, which is after the mid day prayer.  Everything runs like clockwork around here inshaAllah, this routine is for the glory of Allah.  And that is how I will treat you inshaAllah: everything like clockwork.  But I was a little late today with the letter.  How are you feeling, my love?  Are you having fun being a star?  Please shine oh so brightly for me, because I love you so much.

Hey Natty, the family is looking good!  And you are as beautiful as ever.  Oh a wedding!  Ah, blissful thinking.  That's a lovely dress, and you look wonderful in it.  I love to see you dress like that, you are so feminine.

Hugs, Pina! What's going on, Sweetie?  It must be awfully hot there, so keep cool.  Your tummy must feel a little off but like I said, just eat at McDonald's all the time if you have trouble stomaching the local food.

 

 

 

The war for the soul of the young Muslim male

So the same things happen over and over again everyday, and we call it just the same old shit because we want something or need something to make ourselves agree that there has been a change.  For example, I need to be married but I can't afford to marry, so to me it's all the same old shit until I become wealthy enough to marry.  Sure, profound things happen all the time here and everywhere else.  But wherever you go, there you are.  Profound things have always happened around me and everywhere else.

Oh that?  To truly serve God is a very unselfish thing to do, which is unlike me because I want so many things.  The war for the soul of the young Muslim male has gone on for a long time already, and the purpose is to corrupt the heart of the young Muslim male until there are no more of them.  One might think that mass media has made a huge change for the worse, but there has always been conditioning and temptation.  After all, the devil does have free reign to influence until Judgement Day.  One might think of ways to trick the devil into making his influence of no effect.  For example, one might use devilish means to influence a gay man into becoming a gay gay man (bending a bent wire into a straight wire).  But woman is herself a temptation, and that is part of what makes marriage so sacred.  So do not blame mass media for something that has always been present.  God chooses who to save, so the trick is to train the young man to choose God.  It is not as simple as forcing him to do religious acts, because you cannot force someone to believe.  You have to teach him to make the right choice.  Everyday.  Every time.

The devil tried to take my soul for a long time already.  I thought it was because I was living in a non-Muslim country, but no that's not it.  Muslims living in Muslim countries become corrupt, even where there is no presence of mass media.  God saved my soul, despite all the intensity of temptation and corruption.  It was probably even all that temptation and corruption that made me choose God.  So I guess God made me choose God.  God must have some use for me.  So what to do?  How to teach him to make the right choice?

1.  No more secret murders.
2.  Identify the devil in all stimulus, whether it be Islamic or not.

How are you today, my darling Erin?  I do so want to marry you, and I long for us to be together.

How are you, Natty honey?  I miss you too.  You're so beautiful.

Pina, you fun girl!  Show us what you're doing in Cuba.  Not just picnics, I hope.  Oh, life is a picnic?

 

 

 

 

Oh

I feel so sluggish.  How is it that one can gain honor and distinction and still tumble downwards?  How are you doing today, my love?  I hope everything goes smoothly for you.  Not much to report here for me.  I spent the whole day yesterday in the kitchen.  Last evening I made chilli and onion sauce, cat food, beef and tofu hash, and my dinner.  Nothing special: just hot dogs cooked in the beef and tofu hash and scrambled eggs.  It wasn't enough food: the dough I made in the morning wasn't ready yet.  It's a mix of wheat and rice flour.  I accidentally added an extra cup of water to the dough but I didn't want to open a new bag of flour, so I used the open bag of rice flour.  ** yawn**  Please make sure you get plenty of rest.

Hey Natty.  How ya doin' cutie? 

Hey Pina.  How's the tummy?

 

 

 

The stolen biscuit

Hi Honey!  How are you feeling today?  Are you having fun being a star?  This is your season isn't it, and it lasts all the way to next summer.  Wow.  Make millions for yourself for me, and please make sure you have fun at whatever you do.  It's nice to look back at how quickly you grew into success.  What a cute girl!  You seemed scared.  But you took over the world fast.  And it will only get better.  InshaAllah.

You could have made (or could make) much money in Europe, Natty.  With your smooth and classic lines, you are a beautiful young Queen.  You could have taken Paris by storm, and from there the global fashion biz.  But you go ahead and do whatever it is you have to do, and I will be with you.  We'll get there, inshaAllah.

Having trouble with the local food, Pina?  It's only temporary.  You have an iron stomach, right?  You'll get used to it.  Or just eat at McDonald's and KFC.  I don't understand what you want out of Cuba.  Sure Chanel went there once as an adventure, but it's not logical that they stay there.  You would make better money in Europe.  Northwest Europe, like The Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Denmark...   Yes, Denmark.  And of course, Italy.

I look kind of like Adriana Lima, don't I?  A lot of Second Life designers make slutty outfits, because the sex trade is very active there.  Since I don't have money, I have to make do with whatever clothes I get for free.  This was actually a full length gown split in half, but I got rid of the skirt and it looks sexier with pants.  Well, half pants.  Don't you agree?  Don't dress like this, ladies.  It's too slutty.

 

The cat that can open doors

As you know, Floofy darling is one of those cats that can open doors.  She jumps up and hangs on to the door handle until it turns, and uses her momentum to shove the door open.  But if she's trapped inside, then she can't push the door open.  So I trapped her inside the cat box room while I gutted the 2 kilos of mackerel I bought at the market.  Yeah, I went to the market early this morning right after the dawn prayer in hopes of finding cheap fish and I was blessed to find mackerel going for RM3.50 a kilo.  I also bought some tofu and won ton skins.  Time for stuffed won tons!  But first I had to gut and portion all that fish.  Most of it is for Floofy darling since she can't eat solid cat food anymore, but I planned on keeping the fish with loose stomachs for lunch.  As you know, mackerel with loose stomachs are ideal for sushi/sashimi, and by the time I had finished filleting I had about a third kilo of sashimi for lunch.  But meanwhile I was gutting the fish, and Floofy darling walked up casually to me with a meow that translated to "Can I have a snack now?"  She had figured out how to hang onto the door handle and pull the door open.  So I put her back into the cat box room, and braced the handle with a handy stick of bamboo so the handle couldn't turn.  What about that, huh?  The cat that can open doors.  Want some sashimi, Erin?  I wish I had some wasabi, but I enjoyed the fish with soy sauce and onions.  A third of a kilo is a LOT of raw fish.

Hey Natty honey, are you feeling better?  I forgot to add how beautiful your clothes are, and how awesome looking the set is.  Very artsy!  Well be patient in the waiting around, inshaAllah it won't be too long.  Please make sure you have fun but stay safe, OK?

Hi Pina!  I guess it might be necessary that you have an escort to go to Cuba, but I don't think the country is as bad as it was in the 1950's.  The current government did kick the Mafia out of the country already, you know.  I don't picture the place as being very glitzy, just hot and sweaty.  But you're a cool cat.  And you like the hot weather, don't you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Qur'an 20170809

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

28.  They say, "When will this Decision be, if you are telling the truth?"

29.  Say, "On the Day of Decision, no profit will it be to unbelievers if they believe!  Nor will they be granted a respite."

The Prostration 32:28-29

Star

Go ahead and be a star, honey.  Don't hold back or feel held back on my account.  I want you to shine, because I love you.  Just don't jump up onto my counter top and try to eat my lunch while I'm still cooking it.  Then hiss at me when I push you away.

Aw Natty, you are such a beautiful girl.  You may feel lonely with all this waiting around, but please know that I am always with you and am thinking about you and wondering what you are doing and how you are feeling.

Hi Pina!  Still in Amsterdam?  Eat a herring for me!  Oh, don't say you are sick of raw herring.  How can you get tired of raw herring?  It's yummy!
