In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hi Erin! Hi beautiful girl! Right now, I'm watching the Victoria's Secret fashion show 2008. I like this show the best of all of them. Lately the show has become too slick, but this show was right on the edge. I like it because it was hot and passionate. And drama. Like when Karolina Kurkova's outfit tore right before the finale. Now that's drama! Do you remember the plan? The plan is to build your house and get married. To me! InshaAllah. I love you and I need you.
Have you done your homework? What homework? I asked you to watch Sailor Moon. Let me repeat myself. Erin, please watch the Japanese version of Sailor Moon in sequence, but in this sequence: the first season first (also known as Sailor Moon), then the 3rd season (SMS), the 4th season (SMSS), the 5th season (SailorStars), and the 2nd season (SMR) last if you feel like it. Yeah, you can watch the subtitled version of course. If you can't find an episode, wait until you find it before you move on to the next episode. But make some effort in this matter please! Sailor Moon is international business, and the Moonies want to play with you because you are my girl. You don't have to leave your house. It's just some computer work. Take your time. But make some effort.
Oh, it's so hot. I like hot and passionate, but I don't like hot weather. No, I didn't have pizza for dinner. I had pizza for lunch. The dough isn't that great this batch, because I forgot to compensate for how dry it's been. But the weather feels so humid, though. The Arizona heat was never this obnoxious, even though it was much hotter. Dinner was steak and rice. I love a heaping spoonful of hot steaming rice with lots of mild soy sauce. Simple pleasures. Alhamdulillah.

Hello there, my most beautiful Sweetheart! How are you feeling today? I want you to know that you are the most beautiful girl in the world to me, and that I love you with all my heart. I wish us to be together, to embrace you and kiss you, my beloved. Please keep your heart safe and healthy, please pray for us to be together soon. My beautiful Erin. I need you.
Oh, it's so hot. Summer here begins at the New Year, and it's still summer. A hot, muggy summer. My fish are behaving strangely. All of them are staying almost motionlessly at the top of the water facing the northeast. They've been that way for hours already. There was some activity during feeding time but now they're at it again. I think it's the weather. I was pretty much useless this morning. All I did was sit outside, fanning myself, and listening to music. I was more productive in the evening. I cut the grass. That grass grows quickly, even when it's dry. In fact, I think the grass is stronger when it's dry. I had noodles in soup for lunch today. I always have noodles in soup for lunch. I make myself a big, man-sized helping. You should see my bowl. I had dinner at Ina's. Rice. Then I went for an ice cream run. Today I bought the rainbow flavor. I'll pig out on ice cream after the sunset prayer. Want some ice cream?

Erin, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just wanted to make you laugh a little, so I thought it would be funny, but I guess it isn't. I'm so stupid. I promise not to ever quote you again inshaAllah, unless it's important and serious. Please forgive me. Please don't be mad at me, because I love you so much. I need you.
So no pizza today. I made a batch of dough, though. The dough is a bit hard today, so it looks like no pizza until Thursday at least. Coconut is plentiful right now, so I went in that direction. I saw a cluster of baby coconuts over at your house inshaAllah, so I took those down. Baby coconut juice is a fountain of youth, so my mother says. So I gave her the juice of about 7 baby coconuts, and I have some for myself as well. Dinner is chicken fingers, but instead of bread crumbs, I used grated coconut. The coating wasn't crispy, perhaps I should have mixed in some flour with that. But it tasted great, and very filling too. For dipping sauce, I used that extra thick curry I made the other day. You must try some.

Qur'an 20160323
In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
95. Say, "Allah speaks the Truth: follow the religion of Abraham, the sane in faith: he was not of the pagans."
96. The first House appointed for humans was that at Bakkah, full of blessing and guidance for all kinds of beings.
97. In it are signs manifest. The Station of Abraham: whoever enters it attains security. Pilgrimage thereto is a duty humans owe to Allah, those who can afford the journey. But if any deny faith, Allah stands not in need of any of God's creatures.
98. Say, "O people of the Book! Why reject you the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Witness to all you do?"
99. Say, "O people of the Book! Why obstruct you those who believe from the path of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, while you were yourselves witnesses? But Allah is not unmindful of what you do."
(The Family of Imran 3:95-99)

Hi Erin! How are you doing today, Sweetie? Aw, I wish you were here with me, I love you so much. But I have to get your house for you, and treat you like a Queen, because you are a Queen. You are my Queen, so be confident and know that you mean the world to me. I need you, so please take good care of yourself.
I'm watching Iron Chef right now, the tuna battle. The expensive stuff. I've never had that expensive tuna. The tuna that's local here is short tail tuna or "tongol", which doesn't taste good raw, like bad water. Have you been practicing your cooking? I'm sure you have the sensitivity to be a marvelous cook. Remember the 2 things I told you, use a small to medium flame only unless you are absolutely confident, and please the stomach first, flavor comes later. Your kids will thank you for it. I will thank you as well. The only time I use a large flame is when I'm frying up stuffed won tons. I spent the whole morning today doing kitchen work. I opened up 4 coconuts and had the meat grated. I gave half to my Mom, then I squeezed out some coconut milk. It's time for curry! I wanted to make a generic curry today but extra thick, like ketchup or molasses. I had a lot of onions, so I blended that to get the thickness. I wanted to make it super thick to use as dipping or fond. All those onions made it sweet, though. At the same time I made my lunch, which was noodles in soup as usual. The broth this time is a local mix called "asam pedas", which is hot sour with a base of turmeric and hot chilli peppers. Needed salt, so I used anchovy stock. What's for dinner? Oh, pizza. Want some? Oh don't worry, I've run out of dough, so I need to make a new batch tomorrow morning. So no pizza tomorrow.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
Hello there, my beautiful Sweetheart! How are you feeling today? Are you being entertained by my parents? My Mom has a great sense of humor, but I don't know if you would understand it at times. Every Sunday morning, I clean my parents' bedroom. Let's say a prayer for our parents: Ya Allah, have mercy on our parents as they cherished us in childhood.
Ah, tea! I love iced tea. Best drink in the world. No contest. Tea is such a natural drink, it must have some health benefits. I heard that tea is good for the eyes. I enjoyed iced tea with my dinner. Pizza again! Oh my God, I'm eating pizza every day! Is that normal? Is there something wrong with me? But I love pizza! Please don't hate me! Today is sausage and basil. My favorite toppings. Home made halal beef sausage, my own recipe.
I cleaned my fish bowl today. No, I didn't use any soap. The rocks were all dark with gook, but I couldn't use any chemicals to clean them, only water. But I was able to write and draw pictures on the rocks. The fish bowl is nice and shiny right now, almost sparkling. The big fish seem unused to the clean water, but the little fish seem to like it. The big fish just congregate together at the top of the water. After I cleaned the fish bowl, I took a sip of iced tea. Tasted like pond water.
Hey Precious, please get lots of rest and eat properly, OK? Please pray. I'm not there to help protect you, so you must do your best to take sweet care of yourself. Always know that I love you and I need you.
