We create our own "Days"

In average, our life consist of 27,610 days. But how many of these days are spent truly memorable and amazingly? Yes, we celebrate few traditional-passed-down occasions such as Valentine's, Mother's Day, Father's Day to name a few. What happen to those other people in our life that is truly, perhaps, worth a thank you at least?

I could think of half a dozen people that I must thank in my life (apart from those mentioned above).My nana, for instance. She see me grow up, she is after all my mother's mother and I probably inherited some of her blood, if not wealth. So, yes, a day to thank our Nana is in order. I've always wanted to thank my Nanny too - the sweet lady who brought me up. She's the one that make sure I sleep enough, eat well(even though, not hygienically) and yes, always bring me along to the night market, morning market and her many mahjong sessions.

I also have to thank my friends - so a Friends Day is also a must. Well, saying so, there are ovbviously many types of friends. There are friends who look down on you when you did badly in school( I must say, to thank them is definately a must - after all, they are those that motivated me to work hard and be successful), friends who only are friends with you when they are drunkity, drunk drunk ( the next time when they see you down the road, sober - they can't even bother to smile when your eyes met. Hmm...should I even thank them? Well, at least they kept me entertained when I was drunk myself). And I must stay, a few true friends who went through thick and thin with me.

What about a "Me Day"? We always send gifts to our family, friends and our partner(s) when it is their birthday or when they are getting married. Some of us(in saying so, I include yours truly) don't even get a birthday gift on our birthdays! So, I say, we must have a "Me Day" whereby it is dedicated to your very own self. A day to do nothing but pamper and treat yourself to something nice, comforting, and relaxing that complements your lifestyle and taste. It is a day to stop thinking of pleasing other people, making sure they are happy, and yes, a me me me day!!!! Call it selfish and self centered? Nope.

Mother & Daughter Bonding Day - many of us (again, guilty as charged)often neglected our beloved mother when we are busy with our worklife, lovelife, personal life. We only say thank you to our mother's (really) twice a year - Birthday and Mother's Day. Well, and if you are lucky, on that very year, 3 times - the third will be on your wedding day. So, as I'm saying this, I'm actually purchasing a Mother & Bonding experience and booking my mum and I in for a pampering session of spa, pedicure and manicure this weekend.

Hmm...Ah yes, how can I forget to thank our customers who have continuously and relentless supporting us since our birth? So, a "RedRibbon Days Customer Day" is definately a must. So, to all RedRibbon Days - thank you for your support and please continue to support us!

thank you very much redribbon team for making my valentine's day so fantastic! bought my girlfriend a range voucher as i couldnt decide what to get for her and i wanted it to be different. i really like the idea where you can actually give someone an 'experience' for special occasion. it's so different from the traditional gifts like roses and really how the retailers try to profit as much during valentine's day for roses. it's just not worth it i feel. thank you. thank you. thank you.
