14 March was my brother’s birthday. With no idea of what to get him, I went out on a hunt with my boyfriend from mall to mall looking for what could make him happy.

One of them came, apologizing for the mess, asked me to go back inside the car because it was going to get dusty and...

My dear friends,
I know how hard it is to find a suitable job nowadays.

When many fresh graduates only want to get hired as managers starting day 1…little can be done.
On my way to work, I came across this ad.
