Mother's Day

Hai,

Last Sunday, May 8th 2011, was Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all mom and mom-to-be in the world.

Actually I don't really pay attention to Mother's Day but since it's happening in twitter so finally I realized it. Do you know that every country has their own day for mother's day? I don't. I just knew it. Most of the country celebrate it on Second Sunday in the month of May. For Indonesian, Hari Ibu, is on December 22nd.
