Happy Parents' Day

I'm sure many of us don't realize that today is Parents' Day. You might ask, "Why Parents' Day?" As how I see it, Parents' Day are meant for both parents who are still very much alive and together.

Mother's Day/Father's day is significantly for those who have only a parent. Yet for those of us who have both parents, we still celebrate Mother's Day/Father's day.

I'm sure most of us won't be celebrating Parents' Day. But to my own judgement, Parents' Day should be celebrated as a whole. We don't need to celebrate the days separately. Unless we have no choice and can only celebrate either Mother's Day or Father's Day..

Well, I have introduced Parents' day to my customers and friends. I even had a contest whereby participants had to post a photo of his/her parents, write something about them and get votes for them.

Only a few participants took part in the Parents' Day Contest which I organized on my facebook page. It was interesting to see that my number of likes for my page shot up very fast till 615 right now..

Check out the other winners right here.

    Great post. We do tend to forget parents who are still together.

      yeah, i quite agree with you.. instead of having father's day and mother's day.. i think it's better to just have parent's day alone..

      quite not appropriate to separate them.. because parent's already represent father and mother right??

      I just found out about the day when I googled it. True, we might as well have a special for both parents.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
