Have you ever seen those scenes in movies or dramas, where this one guy worked so hard that he completely forgot that it was his birthday, until, say a group of friends surprised him with a party? Or, another guy, who came back late from work only to see his wife fallen asleep on a dining table beautifully decorated with dinner and candle lights and all, and upon checking the calendar only did he realize that it was their wedding anniversary. Well, I used to laugh whenever this kind of scene came out on screen. I mean come on, there is no way people can forget those kind of important dates, ones that do not come often in life no matter how busy they might be. It is just ridiculous.
But alas, that is exactly what’s happening to me lately. I start to be forgetful of stuffs especially ones that deal with dates. No, not exactly like the scenes I mentioned above, but something of that manner.
I guess it is true what people always say, that things portrayed on the screen are indeed real happenings in actual life. After all, where else do you expect the movie or drama director gets the idea from if not from real-life experience?
Perhaps next time, whenever such scene appear on the screen, I should just shut my mouth up and concentrate on how the first guy reacts to his friends for organizing the surprise party, or how the other guy wakes his wife up and says sorry for being forgetful.

Well,it's normal to be forgetful sometimes. Maybe u can record the important dates in ur handphone's calendar so that u won't forget them. That's what i did anyway.
Oh yeah,bout those movie/drama scenes, i think it's wonderful if that happen in our lives coz at least someone remembers our birthday or wedding anniversary. It shows that someone cares bout u. What do u think?
I do remember the dates. The problem is sometimes when the real day comes, I'm just not aware. Well yeah, perhaps I should try with the phone calendar. Thanks anyway.
Of course it's a wonderful thing looking from that point of view, to think that people actually care about us. The problem comes when we start to forget dates that are important to some other people. I mean, there's no big deal about your own birthday, but when it's someone else's that you forget, then you're in big trouble. Say in the case of the wedding anniversary, you feel glad at first that your partner cares and remembers but soon it'll be replaced by guilt and regret for not appearing to be the one who cares and remembers in the first place. Well, my situation looks more like forgetting the anniversary rather than my own birthday.
Ic,i think u should also put alarm in ur hp calendar so that it will alarm on that day itself and u'll be aware.
Yup,we'll feel REALLY guilty after that. And then we'll take that as a lesson and automatically we'll set our minds so that we'll never do it again. Mistakes do teach us valuable lessons,especially the ones that make us really sad or regret.
i think you shud put pin up board in front of your doors..and put pin up reminders on it..
