It's been quite an irksome morning.
Some worked solutions were so concise that it harder to decipher them than the questions themselves..
So, I'm having a break. (:

I guess, pregnancy really is a beautiful thing.
I mean, yea adoption is noble etc, but just the thought of being depended on for survival.. having even just your emotions directly affect the growth of a small life in you. having that small kid thing to love and protect and being it's only true line of defense is just.. overwhelming. In a good sense.

haha. I think experiencing the first trimester alone is enough to convince me to enter a marriage that may possibly end up with me being subservient and unimportant.

Might seem as quite a pessimistic way of putting it, but maybe it isn't at all that bad when you understand what i'm trying to say.
Ok so here's what i'm trying to say. And it's based mostly on it being God's plan all along that the role of women in a family was to care and provide for the kids unconditionally. This traditional role of women shouldn't be considered diluted by changing times just because of all the retarded interpretations of gender equality.

To me, gender equality is a sensible pursuit only in the corporate world, and not at home.
Cos mothers were catered for motherly responbilities, motherly solicitude, motherly blahblahblahs. Girls can get capable and resourceful and seem garang and unafraid to make themselves heard. But deep down, we all started out soft. And there will always be that soft side to us, and it'll show up sometime. It's an instinctual thing, and it's not something that goes away after you dont use it for a while.

Being a mom's a huge emotional investment, and it's challenging and nervewrecking, but it's anything but sad. Because together with all the difficulties, there's that satisfaction and pride.
Momming rocks, dont you think? (:

Someone that means a lot to me is in her first trimester now.
I've been thinking quite a lot about this first trimester thing. About how the smaller the baby is, the more sensitive it is to things happening all around the mom. Especially emotions.
And we all know that moms under a lot of stress are very likely to miscarry.
And some theorize that faced with so much stress and emotional turbulence, some fetuses may choose to die rather than inflict further stress and pain on their mothers or themselves.
It's so heartwarming, don't you think?
And i hope that perception alone will convince someone to take good care of herself and not stress so much. (:

dear ___
I know, as a _____, stress and frustrations come everyday from everywhere, mostly from one big person HAHA. But i guess if there was an better way of taking care of both ___, ___ and ur baby, you would.
Still hor ___ .. you once told me that ___ comes before ___ for you, and it will always be the case cos you're a ____. But it's hard for us, cos taking examples from past events, you know that you come much before ____ to us. And your presence have blessed us a lot, so it's natural that we want to see you well taken care of, and taking care of yourself well.
It's not so bad, you only have to eat like a grandma for 3 months.
haha.

okay enough thinking so far for one day.
study hard, kids.


noise



be still my soul
God knows your way;
and He will guide,
for His name's sake
plunge in the rivers
of His grace,
rest in the arms
of His embrace.
