Photo *Heart* Fridays – Quality Time

Museum 1

Time spent together one weekday afternoon 23 Aug 2012

Life almost moves like a time lapse movie these days. Day to day details are sometimes forgotten and easily lost, we move from moment  to moment, but we don’t really remember what happened between this event and another.

I don’t really want to spend my life like that. Where moments are easily forgotten and I just spend my days rushing from place to place, and checking off my to-do list.

We slowed down this week.

I decided that school can wait, and I will spend quality time with my little guy doing stuff that we both thoroughly enjoy.

Despite fighting over the audio guide in the museum, since the museum assumed that kids below 7 could not understand or have the children’s audio guide by themselves :(. And both making ‘tsk’ sounds ever so often when his/my side of the earphone kept falling off, whenever we decided to walk in different directions.

It wasn’t perfect, but I am thankful of the quality time spent together nonetheless.

Photo *Heart* Fridays – Ambiguity

I always wanted a happy ending… Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

Thriving large shrubs of ‘Lalang’ weeds hidden around the corner near K’s school – walking past this never fails to make me wonder. I always wondered how these weeds can thrive in a neighborhood where there are plenty of seniors with green fingers.

The mystery was solved this morning. when I caught a glimpse of a senior living 1 door away from these shrubs, watering his plants outside, as well as these weeds.

It’s alright to have weeds next to your plants, to nurture them and not to overlook the beauty in the most common of weeds.

Photo *Heart* Fridays – Superhero

Photo1

I spend lots of time thinking about what I want to teach him.

I want to tell him that the older you get, you can’t play as much, it tends to get grey at times, and life ain’t easy. But life can also be beautiful, so don’t let life make you jaded or cynical. Continue to look to what makes you happy and brings you a peace of mind.

It’s ok if people are not happy with you, cos we can’t please everyone all the time. It’s also ok not to do what everyone else is doing and pursue your dreams. And if you do get married, find a partner who loves you for who you are and not who she hopes you become.

Be a friend to the boy / girl in school that everyone else is making fun of. And it’s ok to smile and be nice be people you don’t know, especially when you are an adult, just make sure they don’t know where you live.

And do trust in the biggest superhero that you can depend on, that’s God. He really has your best interests at heart and make sure you spend time with Him.

I worry and I worry too much. Sometimes I worry that I am not teaching him the ‘right’ thing.

All i need to do is to learn to trust my Superhero, the way I want to teach my son to.

 

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

– Philippians 4:6-7
