1. Do you generally send a gificon when your friend's birthday comes up on kakao Talk notification ?

When my friend's birthday notification comes up on kakao Talk, I usually send happy birthday messages. Then sometimes, when I need to send a gift, I send a cake to the gificon. Sometimes, I send starbucks gificon to my acquaintance to entertain them. Anyway our birthday is the day we were born and we should celebrate it

 

2. When I forget someone's birthday or anniversary that I must remember, should I send gift even though it was belated or ignore ?

It depends on the case, but it's not bad to give it as a gift on important days. I usually don't give gifts on wedding anniversaries and I don't give birthday unless I attend a party myself. If it's a special day, or if I want to celebrate it, sometimes I give it as a gificon

 

3. When you're really considered which present you should give, how do you usually figure a solution out ?

When I give a gift to someone, I first think about the age group. I have to search for gifts that fit the current trend by distinguishing between the elderly or younger generation. And I think about the items that the acquaitance likes. If it's difficult to give a gift, I think it's one way to give a gift certificate to choose a gift

 

4. What's the most memorable birthday present you've ever been given ?

I think I got a lot of presnet for my birthday. when I was a kid, I invited my friends to my birthday party. I remember that we had a lot of our favorite food at the feast table and enjoyed it. Also it's very meaningful to have birthday while getting married and raising children. The writing of my little celebrating my birthday with their brackish hands made me feel proud. My mom's handstaste and my son's writing are birthday precious gifts

 

5. When was the most memorable anniversary or birthday ?

The most memorable wedding anniversary was our first anniversary and we went on a trip to Phoenix, Pyeongchang. We had a romantic evening. I found out later that I received a precious gift from heaven. It's an infinite pleasure for me to see the second generation and it has become a place of blessing. Now that my son has grown up, he is 25 years old, and now I feel that time flies when he go to Canada as an exchange student

 

6. What were the best and worst birthday you had ?

My favorite birthday party is when all my sons go to college and celebrate my birthday. Two sons bought cake and gifts and said thank you for your father's hard work. The worst birthday was the time when I quit samsung company. I think I spent a gloomy time without a birthday party

 

7. What do you prefer between " Special days such as birthdays, anniversaries etc, should be spent splendidly VS Should be spent just like any normal day with your partner or friends ?

I like to spend my birthday with my family by eating simple meals and cutting cake, Of course it would be mice to party loudly and nicely, but then it's finacially burdensome

 

8. How do you usually celebrate an anniversary or birthday ? Is this important for you ?

On my birthday, I eat, drink tea and do simple things. Life doesn't mean much, but I think it's just a simple event for family harmony. At a time when the concept of ancestral rites is fading these days, we spend our birthdays together, so we can add meaning to the party

 

9. What was the most expensive present you bought or the one you put a lot effort into ?

What I paid the most attention to is my wife's birthday present. First of all, I wrote a beautiful handwirtten letter to convey my heart to my wife. I wrapped a gift certificate with my wife's favorite fragrant rose. My wife was so moved by the birthday present that she couldn't speak

 

10. What would be the best present of your parnets' birthday ?

I didn't get to give my parents a big present. I think I wrote a lettle of thanks to my parents. The reason why I couldn't give you a proper gift is because my parents died shortly after I got a job. The decisive reason is that I am not yet mature enough to express gratitudes. I still regret not being able to be a good son to my parents
