伴侶...Companions?

Wow, I slept for so long today after work... didn't even eat dinner. Now I can't fall asleep, but my misfortune is your gain, you get a new post from me! How exciting huh?! Anyways, as I lied in my bed, this picture I saw yesterday came into mind...


"Zaky", Available for $35USD (not the baby!)

This is an actual product that you could order online... it's a hand cushion that is supposedly suppose to "fool" your baby into thinking that the parent is still holding on to them, whilst the parent is actually doing other stuff or resting. When I first saw this product, I couldn't help but think what has this world come to?! How could you just leave your babies with a cushion? SO IRRESPONSIBLE! But then I thought more thoroughly about it and realized that parents need a little break also from the 24hr responsibility of taking care of a baby. In the end, they will always still come back and care for their love... babies just need a caring companion, comfort...

Though not entirely relevent, it's somewhat like a relationship & friendship... though I always say that I enjoy being alone, whether traveling, going out or just staying at home, doesn't mean I dislike having a companion. I enjoy hanging out with friends and also time with the one I love. It's just that "being alone" is like "a little break" that the parents always needs. It gives me an opportunity to not have to think about other people's stuff and to relax by myself. I enjoy the calmness and quietness of thinking to myself, phasing out... no, not phasing out... more like composing the background noises so that it flows with my mind of thoughts...

But then I will always still need the comfort and care of others. Lately I've found that I've had enough break for a while... Haven't been spending much quality time with soemone that I care for a lot... and even less with my group of friends & also family. The following two weekends hopefully will be a fullfilling and let me regain some of those times. Kind of went of topic half way, but then again, that should have been expecting when you started reading this blog!

I know you would definitely regain such quality time with your beloved family and friends! Hopefully you would enjoy the moments witnessing the couple next Saturday as well. =>
