Great Lover, Terrible Mother

And this is what I am feeling as I am watching this video for the umpteenth time tonight.

The Sky

So. Remember we used to look out from the window and trace the highway lights. Now that I am in a village, I am looking a lot at the sky instead. And I realised, in this quiet village, the sky is quite charming. On a good day, the sky would be in hues of blue. There will be fluffy clouds lining up and you could trace them just like the highway lights. In the evening, when the sun is going down, the sky would be grey in hues of light. And sometimes, there will be a soft wind accompanying it. You will just stand there at the balcony, gazing into the sky, feeling the breeze on your face. Embracing the moment..... Then, you will wonder. Wondering... what comes next.

Moderation

This sarcastic conversation happened approximately 6+ years ago. me: so... is it true that pineapples are bad for pregnancy? ob-gyn: huh? me: well, they said it's a "cooling" fruit, so should not eat... ob-gyn: well... have you ever heard when someone wants to abort a child, they just go eat tonnes of pineapples to do the job? me: ... ob-gyn: not too say cannot eat, but everything must be in moderation... too much of anything, including pineapples will be not good... me: {nodding... because it makes so much sense} I always say that being moderate is the toughest. It's easy to swing from one extreme to another, but being moderate and able to balance things. That is hard.
