Our apartment here faces the courtyard where there are green slopes, a little fountain, etc. Today while eating dinner, since it's Saturday, there were these four kids rolling around the grass, doing handstands, etc., just having kid-fun. It made me nostalgic of the days when we used to do that, when we didn't have to worry about our clothes getting dirty or bugs flying into our noses and mouths, when it was ok for us to just be kids.

Imagine if we went out and rolled around the grass nowadays. People would probably just shake their heads and think what's wrong with us.

Sigh. I want to go back to being a kid when we didn't have to worry about our future and you know, adult stuff. Gah! I'm just trying to avoid responsibility. :P

Saw this video on Bbrother's site and found it fitting for this entry ...



"What has happened to the children who once played freely on the streets?"
"We grew up."
(and it's so hard to put aside our self-consciousness to actually enjoy fun and games from our childhood years in the public sphere.)

On a totally unrelated note, there's this song playing on the internet radio that has the lyrics, "She wants to touch me, she wants to love me, she'll never leave me ... Don't trust a ho, never trust a ho, won't trust a ho ... Shush girl, shut your lips, do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips." ... uh. wtf? o__O Riiiiiight ...
