Well,it's October and it is the month of.......what?It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and once again the pink ribbons are fluttering in the air.It's that time when women across the country are encouraged to "think pink" — which means shop pink, dress pink and eat pink — to promote the cause.( Well,girls are well known with their interest in pink but I dunno why Pink Ribbon is chose to represent the Breast Cancer Awareness.Personally, I've never been big on pink.)

Well,October is internationally known as Breast Cancer Month. And Pink Ribbons are popular with anyone involved in Breast Cancer Awareness.
