Fathers’ Day is coming! What are you thankful to your father for? For me, I am thankful for the advice he has given me throughout the years, even though I usually end up not heeding his advice and regretting later. I am also grateful to him for providing me with a comfortable life. As a token of gratitude, I am planning to get my dad a present. Here are some options that I am considering getting this fathers’ day and hopefully it will give you some inspiration on what to get for your father too! 1) A Computer Monitor With work-from-home here to stay, it would be a worthy investment to get a monitor. Working from the tiny screen can be difficult for my father since his eyes are not as sharp anymore. He has also mentioned that the small screen results in his eyes being more tired as well.

What NOT to do on Your First Date

JoycelynLeave a comment

  First dates can be nerve-wrecking. You want to impress the other party, so you decide to put on a little more makeup than you usually do. You apply a thick layer of foundation for the appearance of a smooth and clear skin. You apply more contour on your nose for the appearance of a higher nose bridge.
