Reminiscing Christmas 4: The Parol Making Contest of the 1990s

It's an annual contest held inside Mary Mart Mall during the 90s. It is sponsored by a Bombo Radyo Iloilo. Back then there were a few places to see in Iloilo during the Christmas season. The holding of this Parol contest is a hit among ilonggos.

Reminiscing Christmas 3: The Christmas of 1988

There is nothing much. All we have is an Ice Candy Christmas Tree and an impoverish Santa along the Panay Railroad track. Well, she is a good willed neighbor who dressed up like santa so that kids from the neighborhood will have some fun.

Reminiscing Christmas 2: The Christmas of 1990

It was a black Christmas. Black because there was no power. A month before Typhoon Ruping ravaged Panay Island causing extensive blackout lasting for more than a month. We had a Christmas tree but there was no blinking Christmas lights. We only had a candle to brighten the night. But even darkness can't make the mood gloom, because a boy had his christmas gift and mom was safe home from the war in the Middle East.

---------------------

Right now, as Ruby is having her onslaught, I pray to keep the families safe so they can share a happy christmas like we had 14 years ago. c"_,)

Reminiscing Christmas 1: Who Was Afraid of Santa?

Who was afraid of Santa Claus when they are a kid? Mom would always make time to bring us to SM Delgado and have a picture taken with Santa. And I am one kid who is hesitant to take a pic. I'm quite hesitant with strangers and Santa is someone I just see once a year. But growing up, I've learned to like santa because he is giving gifts. I hope Santa does send one again this year

A Peek At Krispy Kreme Iloilo

Krispy Kreme will open their 59th store in the Philippines this coming Sunday, November 30, 2014. They have invited the media and bloggers to take a peek at their store. It was a privilege since we're the first to see and experience their offerings.

The store has a HOT LIGHT sign which means that, once it is turned on, ORIGINAL GLAZED donuts are freshly made in the store. You'll be guaranteed a hot donut off the oven. This also makes the store a FACTORY STORE.

The store also features a DOUGHNUT THEATER. See how your donuts are made. 

We are also lucky to try it ourselves and make our own Krispy Kreme Donuts. Its quite easy and so much fun!

Thank you Krispy Kreme for this opportunity!

So, be there on the 30th and get a chance to win THE GOLDEN TICKET. Read my previous post for details.The door opens at 10AM. Good Luck!
