All comfy?

I hope you are settled in your beautiful home, relaxing and feeling comfortable.  You are supposed to have an easy life.  It may be boring, but you are supposed to be safe and pampered.  Otherwise I wouldn't be doing my job.  You are the wife, you are the one who is supposed to be safe at home and protected from harm.  Sure you can have your career, but you can have it without danger inshaAllah.  You don't need to chase after the trendy, you don't have to go after the scoop.  If Allah makes me ahead of others, then YOU are the scoop.  So please don't care so much about what others say.  And please stay clean.

The Trap

Hi Erin!  I was browsing Yahoo news this morning, when I came across this article about how popular going gluten free has become.  I was about to link it right now, but it suddenly disappeared.  It was clearly a YouTube video, but it's not on YouTube either.  Are you responsible for the new gluten free craze?  No, I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose.  It's more likely that everyone wants to look like you.

Hi Natty!  Packing?  Where are you going?  Oh, you're already there.  You know Natty, I think it's cool that you want to be a lawyer.  Entertainment business is very complex, and it's definitely very international.  What you need realize is that it's also spiritual.  In spiritual I mean predestined.  I guess I'll have to clue you in as we go along.  Don't forget that you are a very beautiful girl.

Stop crying Pina.  Everything will be OK inshaAllah.  Please listen to me, and do as I tell you, and don't be skeptical about it.  What has happened to you is that you were lured into being recruited as a prostitute.  They offer you work in NYC by contract and when you get there, they delay the work promised to you until you run out of money.  Then they offer you work where you go out on "dates", or something similar.  From there it gets worse.  Your modeling agency should protect you from such business, unless you made your own deal.  What's important now is that you protect your chastity.  Screw the agreement you made, and make haste for the Netherlands.  But save all your contracts including your rental agreement.  Once you are on Dutch soil, you should be safe.  What's worse is if you fell in love with the guy who made the contract with you.  If that is the case, then you need to contact the Dutch Embassy and tell them your situation.  Have your parents make you an electronic flight reservation back to the Netherlands, but do not ask them to send you money.  Carry as little cash as possible and leave back home immediately.  Break all your contracts including your rental lease, and go quickly and quietly.  The longer you stay there, the greater the danger.  Leave now and keep your integrity.  If you are afraid that they will harm you, they will harm you even worse if you go along with them.  This isn't bullshit, Pina.  Leave NOW.  Pray.

Dress modestly, and lower your gaze

Hi Erin.  Do you want to share my dinner with me?  I'm having steamed rice with chicken wings cooked in a peanut, hot pepper, and anchovy sauce (my Mom would flip if she knew exactly what it is), with fresh tomatoes.  I've really been into fresh tomatoes lately.  When I was a kid, I hated fresh tomatoes but nowadays I can't get enough of them.  I had ramen for lunch though, because I needed to give a ramen cooking lesson.  Oh, you have must have your expensive packaged meal.  Princess.  And that you are, my dearest.  I could charge big bucks though for my dinner.  Except that I have to eat it.

Natty, I'm starting to guess where your train of thought is going.  You want to become a lawyer, and help your brother.  That's my guess, Honey.  Let me know if I'm wrong, OK?  There's much more going on in the field of entertainment than what is legal, that's for sure.  Stick close to me and listen to what I tell you Natty.  InshaAllah, I can help you and your brother.

Pina, God is telling me by inspiration that I must help you, but I get so frustrated when you don't do as I tell you.  The first thing that I have to say is that you must get out of NYC and go back to the Netherlands!  You don't have to live a difficult life!  It will cost you your beauty!  When you see the wealth of NYC, it belongs to the wealthy and no one else.  NYC does not get its sustenance from NYC but from the rest of the USA and the world.  Including you.  But now you don't have anything to give, it will eat you up.  The only advantage you have is your Instagram and your connection with me.  By the Will of Allah.  So use your Instagram and show me and the world what NYC is doing to you.  And get the hell out of there.

I want you, you, and you to dress modestly and to lower your gaze.  Don't flirt, it is too dangerous for you now.  Wear T-shirts instead of tank tops.

My Mom complained the other day that my ramen noodles in soup is too complex.  Yeah, ramen is supposed to be poor man's food.  So here I have a simplified version of my ramen noodles in soup.  Firstly, I put some of my home made hot sauce into hot water to strengthen the seasoning.

Then I add the seasoning packet.

Next I add ONE vegetable.  In this case I have lots of okra in my yard, so I use that.

Okra needs to be softened, so let it cook.

Now it's time for the noodle brick.

When the noodles are soft enough, add the egg.  Stir and break up the egg white.  Don't break the yolk!

Shut off the heat, and dump into a bowl.  Add garnish, in this case cilantro.

Looks pretty, huh?  It kind of alleviates the fact that you are so poor that you have to eat ramen.

Dinner

I hope you are finding something worthwhile to occupy your time when you are bored without putting yourself in danger, Erin.  I know you are intelligent, but if you get bored that just tells me that you are not using your intelligence.  I'm sorry to nag you, but it upsets me that you do dangerous things because you are bored.  You are a Queen, so please treat yourself as precious.  As precious as I regard you.

Are those really law books Natty?  Are you planning on becoming a lawyer?  I come from a family of lawyers, but I became a rock star instead.

Pina, I suppose I have to try to help you, but I'm going to have to think about what to do.  You have absolutely no advantage in NYC, and when I tried in the past to advise you to some sort of advantage, you threw it away.  Maybe you are thinking that you can help save the US economy or something by being in NYC.  I don't know.  (grumbles).

I swear that Floofy is becoming really aggressive about sharing my food.  I can't eat my meals in the same room with her anymore, she climbs all over me.  Dinner?  I didn't cook dinner today.  I ate out.  Fried noodles.  Sweet.

Hey, check out the VS Fashion Show 2001.  Check out Heidi Klum's attitude after that gross guy kissed her thigh and ate one of her thigh hairs.

Television

The show never stops over here, and God sure can put on a show.  It's sunset, and it's raining heavily.  I hope you are learning to conquer your boredom with a safe pastime, Erin.  I need you to keep safe, I want nothing bad to ever happen to you.  I hardly ever get bored.  There's so much for me to do, and lately I've been getting my sleep while waiting for the computer to process.  I haven't been on Second Life lately, even though I want to.  My quota is almost up but more than that, my TV station is suddenly very popular and very busy.  It's a beautiful setup mashaAllah (by the Will of Allah).  I have no privacy, right?  So I watch what I like to watch, and since the music has serious power of endorsement, other people like to watch what I like to watch.  A LOT of people.  I should run commercials.  One day perhaps I will get paid big bucks for my endorsements inshaAllah (if God Wills).  Then I can get married!

Natty, I've been trying to guess your state of mind.  I am glad you are back in school, because I certainly don't want you to give up your education.  But I'm getting the vibe that you are ready to give up modeling altogether.  And not because of the pressure of a modeling career, but because you want your brother to shine.  That's very sweet of you Natty if so, but how does your brother feel about that?  Plus don't forget that since you are my girl, then you are living in the Public Eye.  So you might as well make some bucks while you're at it.  Being poor and having no privacy really sucks, you know that?  By the way, that bedroom look in the library is very sexy.  And those look like law books.

Pina, that spread on the table looks somewhat OK but I'm not fooled.  From the way you and your friends are dressed, I can tell that you are still living poorly.  I want you to live a comfortable life, and I feel that you should go home.

Hello, my Darling

Hi Erin, how are you doing today?  I hope you are trying to keep at home and staying safe, and not doing something reckless because you are bored.  You have to remember that you are a Queen now, you are my Rock and Roll Queen.  And you don't see royalty gallivanting around without an armed guard, do you?  If you are bored, why don't you try an intellectual pursuit?  The Internet is a huge place.  Or maybe you can build something like a model jet fighter.  There are so many things you can do with your mind.  Please realize how important you are, how important you are to me, and keep safe OK?

Hi Natty, how's it going with you?  Are you drinking lots of water, and not giving away all your hard-earned money?  I must say that you always look gorgeous in a bathrobe.  I'm trying to guess where you would be that would have cherry blossoms right now, but those hills don't look like Japan.  They look like USA.  You keep safe as well, especially when you're playing tourist.  Don't forget how beautiful you are and how much of a temptation that is to others.

I watched "Logan" today.  It made me cry.  What a beautiful little girl.  That's such a perfect recipe for a tearjerker, when the hero gives his life fighting to save his daughter, and she stays at his side weeping as he dies, saying "Daddy, Daddy!"  **sob**  I think I'll go watch it again tonight.

Faithful are for the faithful, and sluts are for sluts

I try not to slut around and I don't, with Allah as my Witness.  If I were to do so, the whole planet would instantly know.  I have no privacy!  And it is the same case for you.  While fame for you (unlike me) is great for making a living, it costs you your privacy.  Though there will be no one to stop you if you do decide to give up your chastity, there will definitely be people watching from unseen places, eating their popcorn and enjoying every minute.  It is not something that you can hide!  As it pertains to me, if you give up your chastity then it means that you have absolutely no interest in marrying me, regardless of how you feel later.  Will I have enough money to marry?  That is your leap of faith, as well as mine.  Please protect your chastity.
