How do I Love Thee, The Mister Donut Way

-

I thought Valentine's Day nowadays are usually defined by the girlfriend-boyfriend relationship, the amount of how much your gift is worth, who could purchase the most expensive things. But Mister Donut gave me a better definition, it’s the time of the year when you get be your kid self again, get the once in a year ticket to express your love. Where nothing really mattered but the happiness you can give. When smile is the only important thing in the world. I just can’t stop smiling; reminiscing the time I spent with the people I love with only a box of Mister Donut Bavarian Doubles and the Valentine Gift Set. With the people I shared my dreams with. The people who knew that I would do everything for them to make them smile. The people whom I get my strength with. They may have grown up but the smile that they give, are frozen in my memory.
Today, I sleep teary eyed, smiling, and thinking of the day how I show my love to my children, the Mister Donut way. Smile in every bite, simple yet oozing with love.





Thank you Mister Donut….

“.....for 43 years I have ventured my way through loosenin’ myself with the general demands of life...from work down  to attending events that eventually led me to Mister Donut on a hitch ride without a sense of direction...followed by a hasty decision to explore Bavarian Doubles having a coffee  as an awkward way to warm myself up.....I could not help but long for the comfort of home...
.....a jeepney ride  bridged that yearning but I found myself tightly sorting out different variants s for a glimpse, and bumping into flavors  I haven’t seen tasted ....As moments turn to customary eating  all throughout... I noticed how every bite reminded me to view life beyond its imperfections...of choosing the essential over preference, of living with the decisions I made and to journey all along with faces who never left me in my troubled days and give me strength...
I may have lost someone along the way but seeing my children accomplishments and what they have become gave way to all the pain.
I bite once again to the sweetness of the Bavarian Doubles to express and listen to what I am not saying, feeling the love of my children.


 ''......there is a certain stillness… a calm embrace from nature and a reflective pause that moved us to unwind…….
this is not just about widenin’ our conversation but going deeper of what our conversation is.....
that often a last Bavarian Doubles  offer seems unending ''


Happy Valentine’s Day Every Day

Parol has been a symbol of Christmas season. A paról is an ornamental, star-shaped  Christmas lantern. It is traditionally made out of bamboo and paper and comes in various sizes and shapes, but generally the basic star pattern remains dominant. The design of the paról evokes the star of Bethlehem that guided the  Three Kings to the manger. Whether, a parol that hangs on our houses are simple or grand, it signifies our hope and good will during the Christmas season. The city of Las Pinas understand this tradition and  once again proved that it is ‘the lantern capital of Metro Manila’ as residents of its barangays showed their ingenuity in creating the best Christmas parols (lanterns) using recycled and indigenous materials at the 7th Parol Festival’s lantern-making competition.
