I have the empty house all to myself. It’s so quite with my boys out on their seperate dates. ToTut left the house with his adult friends at 2pm, Rod got picked up at 5pm….and ME..well i have decided to stay back and enjoy some quite time on my own. I wont be expecting eaither of them till around 10pm…well ToTut gets dropped off around this time.
There’s this elderly Japanese couple that love ToTut and his baby charms. And they have asked if they can babysit Totut some times. Well ToTut has been to their home many times…his probably having a good time tonight.
oh! well…i feel so bored with out ToTut. Am so used to hearing all his noises that when he’s out it just feels so strange.

A Rose
In my hand
I bear a rose
Soft and black
Single yet whole
In a field
Of flowers I stand
Beneath skies
Of vivid blue;
Sweet air
I breathe,
I breathe again;
Embraced I am
By waves
Of color
By waves
Of light;
My eyes behold
In all its beauty
A lone blossom
‘cross the field
A splash
Of gold
Amid endless
Seas of red
Within my mind
Is born a thought
Made fertile
By desire
Forsake
But which?
Partake
Of which?
This rose
I bear?
Or that
Which tempts?
I fear that
Should I
Forsake this rose
So rare, so fine
For another
I’d find Its petals
Frayed, stained,
Withered and dry
A poem by Ap

“We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. We adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. It seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it. Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times”.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Three days away from mothers day… well i know that i won’t be wishing the lady who was more then a mother to me…A Happy mothers day. Yes, my dear mom. The nature of her work has taken her to one of the many remote part of Papua New Guinea where there is no access to electricity, telephone, internet etc..services. But am sure she knows we (her kids) will be thinking of her three days from now and always.

one scary moment this morning 
. I had just put the cups in the sink and was heading towards the laundry section when i felt a sudden wavy movemet of our apartment. The first thought that came into mind was….ToTut. I remember leaving him watching TV so rushed into the living room and found him glued on the screen unmoved. He looked so innocent without knowing what was happening. The sight of his calmness reminded me of what i was thought in collegue. Yes, DO NOT PANIC at times like this.. 
. I stopped and waited to see if it would stop. And it did, after eleven secounds or so… boy! now that was scary. Not that it was my first time to experience an earthquake, but here in Japan from what I read, hear and see on TV is different. In some parts of Japan last week, earthquake had struk leaving few people homeless and homes damaged. Lucky no casulaties reported.
Anyway, ToTut was not disturbed as i made way back to start my laundry…lol…I was stil in my pjs, imagine me running out of the house with it…lol…how funny would that be. not only funny but embarassing too.. 
I also recieved an email from Yoko, asking me if we were okay.
this is what she wrote:
Dodo was surprised ¡ªbe afraid of an earthquake? Are you all right?
yeah, one thoughtful lady that one. 
That little scare did not stop ToTut and I from our usual daily walks.
