Express your love to Dad in creative ways this Father's Day with Brother

Tweet

Father’s Day is coming up soon, celebrating and being thoughtful for Dad doesn’t have to be overly complex and complicated! It’s always a good idea to give Dad something that’s straight from the heart, and something simple and creative can always be enough.

If you’re looking for simple and creative gift ideas for Dad this year, here are three things you can do to make him smile:

1. Give him a special message

Want to make Dad feel really appreciated? Give him a message that’s all yours and straight from the heart. Make it a little more hardworking by taking it from the screen to something he can literally feel on paper—print out that message and give it to him for safekeeping. A Brother wireless printer is great for exactly this task, with crisp colors and great print quality at an affordable price.

2. Label and organize his things

Sometimes our dads can get too caught up in their work that they leave everything a mess. Give him a heartfelt act of service by helping him out and organizing his things, especially if he’s got a lot of them for work or for his hobbies. A Brother label printer is the best machine for this, allowing you to make creative labels and print them out easily for quick use.

3. Make new memories with family photos

Maybe the family photos need a bit of updating—you can totally make new ones and have them framed. Take a photo, print it out, and frame them so you can have newer family portraits. The Brother Scan N Cut machine does this job pretty well, allowing you to cut your printed designs with ease. Whether you’re using a template from the Brother Creative Center or anywhere on the internet, or using your own design, its accurate scanning feature makes it easy to detect your design. Meanwhile, the cutting options make it easy to cut different types of materials and thickness.

Sponge Cola reveals the inconvenient truth about regret on new single “Laman Ng Panaginip”

Tweet

The new single is inspired by the power ballads of the ‘80s and ‘90s

Filipino alternative rock outfit Sponge Cola addresses the truth about regret and longing on their heart-wrenching single “Laman Ng Panaginip”—released via Sony Music Philippines.

Redefining love songs with reckless abandon, the Filipino quartet expresses the complexity of impossible choices in a world that is grounded in the familiar and often neglected reality of prioritizing practicality first before anything else, including love.

“This idea is mentioned concretely in the song almost as blunt exposition,” lead vocalist and guitarist Yael Yuzon stresses. “I really wanted the listener to feel that slab of reality to the face as opposed to something vague and symbolic. No figures of speech here; just feel it and let it all out. It’s the type of material that deserves to be sung out loud in the videoke over drinks with our friends and family for some kind of release.”

According to Yuzon, the song is about a love that never was. “The courage and reckless abandon that goes with singing a power ballad oftentimes come from a place of regret.”

In terms of sonic approach and arrangement, “Laman Ng Panaginip” is inspired by the power ballad movement of the ‘80s and early ‘90s. With guidance from producer Joey Santos of Love One Another Studios, the track delivers another high point in the band’s career with indelible catchiness and impressive musical chops to back it up.

“It's a direct reference to a specific genre and time period that had a very influential impact in our formative years,” guitarist Armo Armovit shares in a statement. “It was recorded in Love One Another with producer Joey Santos making sure each layer of production had meaning and told the story.”

The song’s release is accompanied by an arresting visual helmed by filmmaker Ken Tan. Referencing Armovit, the MV director “did an excellent job in conveying the dream vs reality theme with the most minimal of elements.” The Sponge Cola’s resident guitarist adds, “The dancer, Ysabel Lava, delivered a captivating and emotionally charged performance with every move she choreographed herself.”

“Laman Ng Panaginip” is the fifth single released off their upcoming new album, CLASSIC—to be released sometime this year. The new record will serve as the band’s eighth full-length album, following a string of multiplatinum and critically acclaimed hits that span for more than two decades.

Sponge Cola’s “Laman Ng Panaginip” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Philippines. Watch the music video here.
