like most, i console myself that i can play with my young son and baby daughter every nite. maybe take them out during weekends.
it's great to have young kids. i'm envious. I'm married but no children yet. still trying.

Oh yeah, those grass cutters look like ninjas with masks and the smoke coming out from the motors on their backs make them look so mysterious and cool.

When I grow up, I wanna be a grass cutter!

yep, all you grasscutter aspirees have no idea what you're missing so far.
You even get to take a crane to 18 meters above ground, tie a rope to yourself, and jump down just like commandos or guards. the adrenaline rush is incredible!

Got such thing? That's bungee jumping, not grass cutting...

never seen grass cutters or leaf cutters rappelling... but it sure sounds like fun! haha.

come to think of it, those skyscraper window washer jobs are also pretty cool! haha.

Oh, that one.

I used to bump into him quite often on my morning jogs.

When my mood was good, I said "Good Morning!".

On other days, I just ignore him because I felt too much prata is unhealthy!
