Movies,
novels, poems, and songs—they all say the same thing: Being in love is a
wonderful thing. You get that over-the-top feeling of elation from loving
someone and being loved back. You have someone to cuddle with on cold nights,
someone to laugh with, hold hands, and share the highs and lows of life with.
And that’s just a few of the many perks of being in a relationship.
Gastronomy
is and always has been connected with its sister, art of love. In this age of
Instagraming our food and tweeting what you eat, social media will undoubtedly
be flooded on Valentine’s Day with subtle boasts of where lovers are dining or
what they are cooking or whatever special gift or present they may have gotten
from their loved ones. But we can also
express our love for someone else without the hassle of spending much yet still
make it extra special.
If you
are whipping up your own V-day date, fret not. You can still create that
memorable Valentine day in no time—all you need is a little creativity with a
whole lot of heart. Sometimes we need to go back to basics. After all, it is in
the simplest of things that we find love.

| The perfect Valentine Gift, only for P165! |
Why
don’t you let your significant other experience Manila bay’s famous sunset? The
explosion of red and orange shades contained by the meeting of the sky and the
sea is a picture begging to be taken. It really is stunning. Not just
figuratively but also in literal sense. For a few minutes, you’ll find
yourselves staring at the horizon catching every minute of this poetic
transition from day to night. He or she will surely appreciate it.
Speaking
of something poetic, if you have the talent, why not compose him or her a song,
or perhaps write a love letter? It may no longer be the trend nowadays but a
tangible letter is still what most women want. If you aren’t into writing, a
sweet short note will certainly do the trick. Express how much you love him or
her. It does not need to be anything grand, as long as it comes straight from
the heart and is well meant.

And
while you’re at it, don’t forget to bring a delightful snack that he or she
will definitely love. Give him or her chocolates. The belief that chocolates
are an aphrodisiac may be based on more psychological than chemical reasons.
Truth to be told, scientists do recognize two substances that may be
encouraging in chocolates: trytophan, a building block of serotonin and a brain
chemical involved in sexual arousal, and phenyl ethylamine, a stimulant related
to amphetamine, which is released in the brain when people fall in love. And with chocolates, I do not mean any ordinary
chocolate bars; give him or her a heart-shaped tin can of Mister Donuts’
Belgian Bites. With six pieces of delicious Belgian Bites for only P120—it’ll
be enough to satisfy his or her sweet tooth. And to make it more special,
purchase the Mister Donuts’ complete Valentine gift set for a very affordable
price of P165, which includes the heart-shaped tin can of Belgian Bites with an
adorable stuffed bear, and heart shaped balloon to go with it!

yummy flavor combinations of CLASSIC BAVARIAN and CHOCO FUDGE, COFFEE and

donuts.

I had
tasted it myself and I would have to say it is very creative—imagine enjoying
both flavors in one donut? I could see creative ways to eat such donuts as
lovers. Too bad, I no longer have a husband to share it with. But nevertheless,
I could share Mister Donuts Bavarian Doubles and Valentine Belgian Bites gift
set with my beloved grandson, Kyle. We both enjoy Mister Donuts, We love eating
at Mister Donuts’ stores too because they always seem to have a cheerful
atmosphere conducive to family bonding.

And as
we all bid goodbye to the dragon and welcome the year of the water snake, in
celebration of the Chinese New year, the DoChi makes a comeback to Mister
Donuts’ stores. The unusual mini donut, crème-filling, and toasted sesame see
combo is sure to make you ask for more. Only P8 per piece, it will bring good
luck to everyone who receives and buys them.
Aaah,
such irresistible treats! Feel free to utilize the above mentioned foods and suggestions.
Whether as a gourmand or gourmet, a couple or single, remember that romance is served
with creativity + a box of Mister Donuts’ Bavarian Doubles or Belgian Bites. To
me, as long as you’ve loved another with all your heart and soul, that’s always
been enough
Happy
Valentine’s Day to all!
