“Hey, how come there’s nothing in November??”

“Nothing? Have you checked out my blog post lately about the Lung Cancer Awareness ??”

“Oh..ok.. but that doesn’t count, dear, it’s an awareness notice! I want something to celebrate about, you know, like Halloweens, Christmas, whatever. Just Find me a ‘Day’ in November! You surf the web a lot! There must be something out there, I’m bored!!”

You’ve got to excuse her, she was having a bad day and needed something to cheer her up. Although an unlikely request, but after an emotional & tiring night of Prison Break Epi9 sum it up, I guess I could use a new inspiration for a fresh start today.

So I said to her, I’m gonna find you a DAY! I scooped around the web, it was not long before I came across this FORGET ME NOT Day, which is only 2 days away. I can tell she wasn’t too crazy about it, seeing the way she stares at me…

I don’t know about you, but I do, tend to miss the old times with my pals. Unfortunately, us humans are fighting vigorously against one of the side effects of aging, that’s Memory Deterioration, which our IT technicians like to refer it as ‘Memory (RAM) low’ , or ‘Running out of Hard Disk Space’. Of course, that’s not entirely true, but at times we just so preoccupied with daily chores and routines that frequent contact or meet-ups just not an option. Otherwise, Facebook or Friendster won’t get so popular nowadays!

Have you ever got replies from friends, after a simple text message of ‘How have you been?’, and it sounded something like this:

‘Haven’t seen you for ages, where are you now? What do you do for a living? You married? Is it with the same guy you dated in high school?? Got kids yet?’ so on and on…

While you are complaining why he/she asked so many outdated questions, can you recall when was the last time you texted/called/met him/her? If your friend is not Mr.Forgetful, maybe part of the reasons is because of your own lacking of communication enthusiasm. Of course, that’s perfectly normal. Apart from being busy and all, we rather like throwing ourselves on the bed, leaving the shoes untied and sleep away. We could call our friends for catching ups the next day! But that day never comes, because new task awaits, so we postpone the date until we totally forgot about it. See? Life is just too busy for us: a life to support, goals to achieve, a big wedding to plan, few kids to raise and et cetera. But sometimes I do wonder, is there somebody out there who’s still wondering how I am today, and vice versa.

That’s why I think it’s cute to actually have a Forget Me Not Day. After all, you just need to ring your friends up and have a chat, or simply send them a message, or email or E-Cards! So what if your friends are living somewhere far from your reach? When was the last time you got a mail/email from them? and I don’t mean Forwarded ones or SPAMs. Your mailbox should tell you the story.

Actually, the context for this Forget Me Not Day is pretty wide. Not only for your close ones, it could be a day to remember those who have a deep impact or affected your life in a positive way. Time to show him/her your appreciation as well.

So, enough said, it’s time to put things into actions. I assured my friend the response she’s gonna get will brighten up her days for sure. She reluctantly walked to her laptop, while logging in her mailbox, she said,

“What’s the URL of that free ecard service you know? And, while you’re at it, forward me our friend list, I think I accidentally deleted them last time.”Oh my Gawwwddd..!

I really hope she got some replies later, or else, I think I need to bring ear plugs tomorrow.

So, just in case you also wondering any free ecard service, I’m gonna make your life easier. Now just go to the site below and make an effort. You want somebody to remember you, start by remembering them first.

To me, everyday is a Forget Me Not day. Do let me know the outcome of your calls/emails/ecards. I hope you got some warm thank you’s and replies. Besides, what’s the fun if not sharing your joy with others?
