"oh ovaries ticking.. haha"
or, "Altogether now, awwwww...."
The exact SMS I got from a friend after I sent her this message saying that there was a cute baby on the train. It was really cute! Well a male church friend would say, "Not yours of course cute lah!" No, I disagree. If it was mine I might get angry at it sometimes but a mother's love supercedes all that!
Johnson & Johnson's ad on TV. A black and white of a mom bathing her baby, who's chuckling away much like the one on the train. Voiceover: "We always went for the tall dark hardness types." Baby chuckles. Voiceover: "Who would have thought that the love of my life would be short and bald?" Black screen: Happy Mothers' Day.
Altogether now, awwwwww. Haha.
I think that ad's so cute. My (cute =P)doctor's clinic has a poster for those new fangled 'all-in-one' immunisation jabs. It's got a picture of this baby with blue eyes looking and smiling at the camera, rather precociously, I think. It says on top of the photo: "It's bad enough to be bald." And below: "Spare your baby the pain of multiple jabs."
Altogether now, awwwwww. =D
I've grown to love children a lot more since I went to church. Before, I always thought that I couldn't handle em, so I didn't bother. But once I took part in this day camp organised by church for kids as a coordinator, and realised that I wasn't so bad with kids after all. It was tiring, but fulfilling.
It's like magic when Kelly slips her hand into mine and when Kai Dong smiles at me shyly with that silly smile of his. Or when Cherry, our little diva, runs to you and says, "Today my birthday!" and asks you to take her to wash her hands, when most of the time she's well, a little diva! (But of course we all still love her =]) Children are really wonderful little things.
Okok, ovaries ticking. At 19?? Absurd. They might explode by the time I'm 25. LOL! Yeck.
Anyhow, I almost always smile at children and babies outside. And people-watch, too. Then I become a fashion critic and start thinking, "Ew, what ugly clothes...she needs to changer her hair..." My inner fashion critic's pet peeve: shoes that don't fit well, like when the toes spill out over the edge, or are so tight the flesh is squeezed out through the straps. Urrrhhh.
Speaking of people-watching (one topic sure leads to another), been reading this book on body language that encourages the reader to observe people and stuff like that. Haha. Well, been doing that for a long while. I find people-watching extremely fascinating. The things people do and wear... Pet peeve: PDA - Public Displays of Affection or maybe PDL - Public Displays of Lust. I mean, yeah you love each other a lot (or you lust for each other a lot) but surely you can contain it until you get to a private place. Yes, it's a free world. Surely I deserve the right not to be insulted by your PDL? And if your love is such that it doesn't respect others...well, I really don't think it's supposed to be this way. So call me a prude.
It's not that I don't wanna do lusty things (hey my ovaries are ticking remember?), it's just that I'd only do these things with the one I've chosen to spend the rest of my life with, and definitely in privacy. Whenever I see guys doing things like letting their hands slide down to the girlfriend's butt I think, "Get your slimy hands off her! That body's for her husband to touch!" Granted, girls allow their boyfriends to do that. Sometimes they are the ones who initiate it. Takes 2 hands to clap. I just think if you really love someone, you can respect that person enough to control your lust...
Ah well. It's a free world. We make our own choices.
(Thought: I wonder if I'm making too many words bold. =P) |
